General: Fannish
Oct. 5th, 2005 12:31 pmHaving a six day work-week this... week. I'm just starting the middle, but the tiredness has begun already.
Still working on the current WR chapter, but my head is full of Firefly, so it's simply harder to stay in Luke's head. I love these characters, so I cannot be putting Jossian quips into their mouths, as that's not who they are. But that's why it's taking extra-long, because I want to make sure I stay in Lucas' universe.
I'm not expecting my Serenity giddy joy to go away any time soon. Big Damn Movie, people. Were people begrudging the Farscape folk their miniseries? If so, I missed it.
Seriously, what is up with the recent fannish backlash against acting fannishly? It's not just Serenity, I've seen other things ragged on in the past few. I mean, I don't watch Veronica Mars, but I've got this real handy ability to scroll past VM posts on my flist. Sometimes there are several in a row. This doesn't affect my non-desire to see the show one way or another. The only thing that does get me annoyed about such things is when there are negative comparisions thrown about.
Like, say, one thing I've seen recently (on TWoP, so I don't take it all that seriously) is to say how BSG is so much better at continuity than Joss (to which I say, pull the other one, it's got bells on. BSG is not beyond Making Shit Up On The Spot. One word, people -- Helo.). Dude, I love BSG, I love Joss. Stop trying to pull a Papa Adama and make me pick sides, because, push comes to shove, I'd be on Roslin's Joss', and I don't think that's the response they're going for, there. The thing that put me off Batman Begins was not the hype, but the amount of people who were all, "This is so much better than that other thing". Yeah, that's the way to reach people who liked that other thing.
