- First off, I finally have the perfect excuse to use this icon (WHOO) because ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
svilleficrecs has said some very sane things in defense of the BNF phenomenon. (Okay, so this is possibly the most ridiculous and obnoxious icon I have, but you guys get that I'm using it tongue-in-cheek, right? Right? Please god be as sensible as I think you are. It's not like BSG fandom gives a fuck about the Bitchy Elitist Cabal anymore.)
-musesfool is holding a love meme on her journal. Pen has put my name here as part of a cunning piece of emotional blackmail (that, sadly enough, worked like a charm) but you should all point out where you are, or where you have listed someone else I know, so that I can go and leave comments. (Upon reading it through, it is mostly SPN fandom-based at the moment, but WE CAN TOTALLY CHANGE THAT. GO FORTH AND LOVE. I'LL START: Holly is made of awesome and you know it.)
- Everyone's reccing it, but everyone's right.lim's vid 'Us' is a fast, complex commentary on what it means to be a fan, and to see things as a fan sees them, and how fandom takes the creative public domain and loves it both fiercely and constructively. It's difficult to explain, but you'll be glad you watched it.
- I just discovered this fic, tucked away in my 'Fanfic' bookmarks folder, waiting to be read. So I read it. And basically I have to rec it because it's bleak and confrontational and very good and about neurology, for goodness' sake: Finding The Words - due South, Fraser/Kowalski. (I will add the caveat that there is one aspect of that fic that I would have done very, very differently, but it's not my fic and I don't want to colour your reading of it. Come back here afterwards and we'll discuss!)

Oh, yeah.

I hate you all. This is not a rational hatred, nor is it a particularly just one, but NEVER DOUBT ITS EXISTENCE.

*blushes like it's going out of style* Thank you for the nice things. :]
The BNF link makes a lot of logical sense, though it's been a while since I was in a fandom that nursed that kind of insanity. It is never too late to go back, however. Relately, I watched 'Us' and memoried it against the time when I decide to leave fandom forever. I sort of doubt it will come, but just in case. It is wonderful.
And I don't even know Due South! But hey, fic. I will read when I'm back from putting together my friend's bookshelf. She is bribing me with food, and we're going to watch A Good Year. I've never seen it. This is going to be the most oddly-tilted bookshelf in existence. XD
And in case Aspen hasn't pointed it out already, stuff (http://community.livejournal.com/milli_wei/36811.html). We might need to plan out the special request in terms of timing, but I'm all for it.
