fannish monday morning

Another round of the Home Team Awesome Women Vote-Off! Pretty much all the women here are awesome; I had a couple quiet wails of despair when I saw things like Luna vs Brennan or, god help me, Martha vs Eowyn -- because, you see, Martha and Eowyn are contenders for a spot in my top five or so fictional crushes, and they fight and they win, and I want them to save the world together, and now that I have thought through the parallels I would be very happy if Tom Milligan was the Who universe's Faramir. In any case, go vote! Molly Weasley is losing out to M, of which I approve because M is a magical being whose awesomeness trumps everything (yes, even Martha and Eowyn and probably Zoe), and Kara Thrace is losing out to Elizabeth Bennet, which makes me think that possibly a lot of the people voting are more familiar with Austen than with BSG, although Elizabeth is pretty awesome, and now I kind of want Pride & Prejudice in space. I am not sure who is Darcy, but I am pretty sure it is not Leoben. Maybe Anders. Or something.

Vaguely speaking of, I had a dream that CKR found my blog and wrote me a fucking essay in response. (What's up with this? Last time there was a Home Team vote I dreamed I was having an affair with Paul Gross. And I haven't had any comparable dreams in the intervening time. Anyway!) It started out quoting the Lord of the Rings in Elvish and talked about outer space!! and it was actually a very sweet letter but I didn't read all of it because I was terrified of getting to the part where he'd be all "Oh, and then I read your Ray Kowalski porn." And I just. What. I think I need a new fandom. Mumble mumble I'm going to get some breakfast and listen to Hugh Dillon on the bus. /o\

Ah hah, your dream letter makes me happy. Also, thanks for the link to Home Team Awesome, it was fun to participate!

[aria]

I very much wish that in my dream I had read the whole letter. Like, I skimmed it, and he was the sweetest guy ever. Ah well. XD

And I love the Home Team Awesome stuff, even -- possibly especially -- because it makes me dither. All these women are awesome! And it's wonderful to be reminded of that.

"Oh, and then I read your Ray Kowalski porn."

Um? Oh dear.

[aria]

Yes, but my subconscious ran away before I reached that part. (I am so vastly comforted that, for instance, Paul Gross is too busy doing various things to google himself. At least I assume so. Because I imagine that if he was not too busy he'd probably read the fic and laaaaugh.)

[missfuneralsong]

Good! Because waking up in a state of utter embarrassment is not a pleasant thing to do. (AHAHAHA, he probably would. On the other hand, if I ever became an actor, I would google myself, read the fic and be utterly terrified. Paul Gross is cooler than me.)

[aria]

Hah. I've been kind of waking up in a state of vague panic lately, so blinding embarrassment that CKR had found my due South fic might be a step up, especially once I'd remember that it hadn't actually happened. (You'd just have to hope that you'd find the fic about your character. Instead of the inevitable RPF. I feel like that would be a shade more awkward. ...And dude, Paul Gross is cooler than everyone. He's Paul fucking Gross. XDDD)

[missfuneralsong]

...Okay, state of vague panic > embarrassment on the Unpleasantness Scale. D: (I FORGOT ABOUT RPF. Actually I think the RPF would make me lol, because I'd go through it and nitpick at the characterization. AND THEN BE HORRIFIED AT THE PORN. And you're absolutely right. Paul fucking Gross. \o/)

[aria]

:DDD Y'know, Toni, I think what I love most about you is that you were super enthusiastic about Doctor Who when I was, and now you're doing the C6D thing with me. It makes me want to make many \o/'s at you.

[missfuneralsong]

:DDD I knowww. And you're one of the few people who doesn't roll their eyes and ignore me when I get a new fandom. IT IS NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE TO GLEE AT. \o/

RIVER IS BEATING AERYN. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT. Also, Tosh is beating Babs and McGonagall is beating Leia - I do NOT get this at ALL omg. D:

[aria]

WELL I AM PART OF THAT PROBLEM BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW AERYN! On the other hand I voted for both Babs and Leia, so I do not know what that is about, although I am super fond of McGonagall and I think Leia might grow up to be her one day anyway. :D

[labellementeuse]

OMG ARIA well you know what you were saying about needing a new fandom? (I know you were being flip and realistically I would like you to keep writing in dS) BUT FARSCAPE SHOULD TOTALLY BE IT because it is amaaaaaaaazing.
