Oooohhh, I LOVE a little drama in the moooorning .....

[highlystrung.livejournal.com]

HIIII!!!! *waves*

Wow, I've missed a lot, haven't I?

OK, so, I know it's over, and I know I'm sticking my head in, and I know I may be a shit stirrer .... but I gotta say this. And I only gotta say this because it's over and so on and so forth .... although if people are still sore, and therefore cannot construe this as a joke, I totally get it, and a) accept any flames/attacks/rolls-of-eyes/general ignoringness as my due and b) deeply, deeply apologise.

But I think a sign of maturity is the ability to laugh at oneself. And I certainly don't think I'd like to be associated with a place where people can't laugh at themselves. *raises flag of hope. 'Cos I believe in us*

So. Whilst I will keep my own thoughts to myself, I will say ... this whole thing just reminded me of this. Which y'all should have seen anyway. ^^

The really relevant passages (if you don't want to read through the whole thing, cos it is kinda long.) are near the end. But the whole thing is just funny even without any kind of correlation.

And please remember: Joke. Again, I'm sorry if we're still too near the *cough for dramatic effect* "incident" to make them. But hey, the best time to intefere is now!


Oh, and are there any extras on the M*A*S*H DVDs?

As do I. I'm in the middle of combing what entries are left .... for survivors? *coughyeahright* XD

*sighs* I thought M*A*S*H was immune ....

Nothing's immune :D

[highlystrung.livejournal.com]

O.O You make it sound like we're in Outbreak or something!

;D

[bekkypk.livejournal.com]

What?
Well it's true!
Hehe, not that I'm paranoid or anything ;)

[highlystrung.livejournal.com]

OMG THEY'RE ALL GOING TO GET US!!! BOMB THE TOWNS!!!!

>.>

Damnit, your paranoia's, eheh, infecting me. .... Oh, I shouldn't be allowed on the internet after a certain time at night .... *cries*

[bekkypk.livejournal.com]

Nooo, do not fear!! *gets Cap'n Jack to protect us from the dramallama*
XD

[highlystrung.livejournal.com]

*is torn between snuggling the good Cap'n and hugging the dramallama*

*tries to pull bekkypk and Jack to come over and hug it too*

It's our friend! Really! It's just ... when it follows us is a problem ....

>.>

Don't look at me like that!

*goes back to covert attempts at snuggling* ^^

[bekkypk.livejournal.com]

You can have the dramallama, I want Jack! *hurls self at him*
Okay, so another reason for liking who nowadays is that they're all cute ;)
xx

[highlystrung.livejournal.com]

*grins* Oh yes. Can't wait for Tennant and the new series. ^^ I'll give you Jack if I can have him. ^^

Although some of the older ones weren't too bad either .... XD

[bekkypk.livejournal.com]

I suppose so *snuggles her Jack!muse*
And oh yes, somebody posted on time&chips tonight pointing out similarities Ten VS Five, and yes, Five was also totally snugglable :D
xx

[highlystrung.livejournal.com]

*grins* Thaaat's right. You snuggle him. Think you're all safe and secure .... Little do you know my newly accquired Tennant!Doctor will soon lure him into my den of evil! Bwaha! Bwaha! Bwahahahahaha!

*coughs* Ehem.

A friend and I have had that discussion before. ^^ I remember when I was watching the Christmas Invasion my immediate reaction was OMGWTFFIVEREENACTMENT!!!! Was kind of amusing, actually. ^^

And yes. Yes he was. (Can I have him too...?)

[bekkypk.livejournal.com]

*pout* If I can have sulky Adric :D
xx

[highlystrung.livejournal.com]

OMGOMGOMG!!!!!!

I JUST NOTICED WHAT YOUR ICON ACTUALLY SAID!!!


That rocks so totally hardcore. *stares in adoring puppy-eyesness*

Can I please nab???

[bekkypk.livejournal.com]

You're the second person to ask me that you know, though I think they went and altered it 'cause it was the second icon i'd ever made and thus is a bit fuzzy. But um, yes you can, if you credit :D
xx

[subluxate]

It's unfortunate that some of the original ones were deleted, because it would have been funny to go back and look at what people had said, accusations that were thrown, etc. And I say this as someone who was accused of flaming! I'd love to reread my comment, but I've deleted the notification e-mail, and the post is gone.

M*A*S*H? Immune? The fic snobs (myself included) have their standards, and we've made them pretty well known. I think it'll calm down for a while, but a lot of us are also in a much snarkier fandom, and it carries over.

[highlystrung.livejournal.com]

*grins* Sorry, I have this mental image of the entire community sitting around this open camp fire with marshmallows and shit and just occaisionally reaching their hands into the fire and pulling out bits of paper and reading them out, and then everyone getting a bit drunk and doing the whole 'remember when...' routine, and laughing a lot. It's a half-image, but it amuses me. ^^ Bummer about that, though.

And it's a pity that. *sighs* (Although I love that you call yourselves fic snobs. ^^ That's awesomely cool.) I guess it does go everywhere. It's just, this is such a nice place. I remember when I posted my first fic .... (Oh, god, now I'm doing it... ^^)

And is that House? People keep mentioning it, and it's kinda whaoh, because the idea of a mass migration startles me. Must be convenient, though. ^^

[subluxate]

That's a great mental image. I love it.

We are fic snobs, and if certain people tell you otherwise, they're lying. Like I've said before, a lot of us were very spoiled by writers who have moved on, and we want to hold everything to that standard or somewhere near it.

Like I said below, it is House. The reason behind the mass migration is probably that a couple of people fairly central to our group got very interested in the new snarky-doctor show with a wonderful dynamic between the two main male characters, and lured the rest of us into watching it with comments like, "Watch one episode. If you don't like it, I'll make you an icon." I don't think anyone wound up disliking the first episode they saw.

[highlystrung.livejournal.com]

Ah, sorry, I hadn't seen the earlier comment. (Really, this post has just exploded! XD)

And I think we should totally do it (if we can work out a way not to burn our hands .... or should we just invite the snarky doctor?)

Well, massive props to you for admitting it. I have to admit, it makes it a little scary for newbs. And the whole central pillars thing I get, too. (Smart ploy on their part. ^^ Very smart ploy. EVERYone loves snark.) That's also a little intimidating, actually. It's like there are these unwritten rules, and one of the rules is you're not allowed to be told the rules. O.o

But I try to break in and just act like I'm part of it anyway. ^^ It's like bees, I tell myself. Once you're in the hive, they just think you're part of it. ... That's when you realise why people make such big deals about beestings in movies. ^^

*happy smile* This is all lighthearted, btw.

[subluxate]

Oh, no. Don't invite House. He'll make fun of people who burn their hands instead of treating them. Bring Wilson (the snarky doctor's almost-boyfriend). He'd treat the burns and be fun. Very dry sense of humor.

"The first rule of Fight Club is we don't talk about Fight Club." That what you mean? ;-) We could make a post. "The standards of the older members, in a completely joking manner--but it is sort of what we base our criticisms on."

Oh, I know it's lighthearted.

[highlystrung.livejournal.com]

*grins* Figured you did. It's just ... things seem to have blown up so easily last time, I'm not sure where the line is exactly. Which would be bloody Fight Club again, wouldn't it? ^^

*grins* Can't we bring the snarky Doctor and his almost-boyfriend? They sound like fun together. ^^ And then we have lots to distract us from the burns. (Besides, I figure most of the people here could give even more than they get, anyway. XD)

*nods* Pretty much, yeah, that's it exactly. (Mmmm, pop culture references.) And while I am grinning madly at that title - a little part of me is actually saying 'You know, that could really work.' Or at least be useful. ;D

[subluxate]

Oh, no, the line was way farther out, and related to things like headers, canon adherence, etc. This isn't even along the same lines.

Both of them? Definitely. It'd be much more fun that way. And prettier, too! (And a lot of us would give a lot back to them, which Wilson would find hilarious.)

I'd have to post on my journal, going, "Okay, ladies, tell me what we should say." And then they would say, "Kelly, you are insane for stirring it up at all...but here are our standards."

[highlystrung.livejournal.com]

And I would totally not be standing on the sidelines egging you on. Totally. ... Would you like me to scribe for you?

Actually, I think you could make it work. Especially if it's couched in funny. Especially at the stage where everyone's heaved that sigh of 'ohthankgodit'sover' relief, but it's still relevant and everyone knows why it's being done.

But totally no pressure. :P

And both of them please? I want to meet/remember this Wilson and when he's drunk explain to him exactly why they are a couple, safe in the knowledge that a)I have no idea what I'm talking about, b)he has no idea what I'm talking about and c)that neither of us will remember it in the morning. ^^ And just seeing you guys and House ... would be so. damn. worth it.

And good. *smiles at line in the distance* Pretty line.

[subluxate]

A scribe! Of course, the journal is friends-only, so would you mind if I friend you?

I probably could. I mean, if I revised it enough, and made sure it couldn't be taken wrong, it might be a useful post--and at least funny.

Definitely both of them. And I think Wilson's accepting that they're a couple. He asked House if he could stay with him for a few days. It'd be so very fun.

[highlystrung.livejournal.com]

*glee!* And did House say yes? *eager stares* (Oh man, this is bad. You've already got me gossiping about it. I'm going to have to make sure I see it. Even if it means *shudder* buying copies .... *dun dun duuuun!*)

*bows* Forced labour, that's me, m'lord! *doffs hat* No, no, I jest. And look! I use words like 'jest!'. That would be awesomely cool. XD Although I must warn you, my journal can be extremely ... emo ... sometimes. I tend to something of an extremist ... (Extremely angry, extremely amused, extremely lazy... XD)

And I think it would be damn funny. And useful. *plays the devil on the shoulder* Although, to be fair, I'm tired, so this is the equivilant of the drunken buddy saying, 'of course they'll love the lampshade trick! Here, have some spaghetti and jam!'.

Aaanyway. *trots off to friend* ^^

[subluxate]

He DID. House is letting Wilson sleep on his "couch". Which we know means his bed, but whatever. I think it made him feel better to pretend he's straight still. After all, he had just found out his third wife was having an affair.

You use words like "jest", which actually means you rock, because so many people forget about the cool words! And you're not the only one who can get a bit extremist; I can at times, too.

It could be funny. I'd have to consult people for their input, and I'm pretty sure they'd tell me if they thought it a bad idea.

Yay for friends. =)
