Definition of Rule 34 from 'Urban Dictionary'

The Evidence: Empireonline blog - Robots in Denial or why "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen may be the gayest mainstream movie since Top Gun"

WARNING - Prime sized spoilers abound in the above! Not to mention - some of the commenters have zip sense of humour.
Even so - taking on board this reading of the film will make your experience of said movie a lot more enjoyable!

Also? If you find instances of the aforementioned love? Pls be keepin' them to yourselves. There is not enough *mind bleach* in the world to deal with the mental images!

And not the viagra busting kind either!

Where Beckymonster questions whether she's a 'real' SG-1 fan because she can't do anything because she's British )

In conclusion... I'd rather do nothing, because that's all I can do. To make my peace with SG-1 (the show, not the fandom, there are still hordes of bunnies to be written) drawing to an end than send what will be percieved to be) meaningless letters to studio execs who have made (what they believe) to be a rational business decision.

There - I've said my peice now;) Break out the tomatoes and old shoes!

Where Becky witters on about favourite characters and shows )

As a cookie - which y'all need after reading that 'little' lot... I am hoping that I will be able to post new fic soon. It's been beta'ed - just awaiting the all clear:D Until then, it's back to the Sam Gen story I'm writing for a ficathon *flails*. It's like Nanny Ogg spelling 'banana'. It's started, but where it ends is another matter ENTIRELY!

Since when has 'character assassination' been acceptable in fics?

Perhaps I'm being irreversibly dumb but I noted a fic rec on one of my flists describing a story as 'wonderful catharsis' in response to what TPTB have done to the character of Lt. Col. Samantha Carter.

I'll be the first person to state that I dislike the shippiness and general wussiness that the SG showrunners feel is integral to the female characters of their shows (heck - I would refer them to either 'Doctor Who' or 'BSG V_2.0' but that's a debate for another time). While I'm not exactly a SNITer, they do have a point (tips hat to [livejournal.com profile] nialla42)

Even so, since when has turning a major character into a psycho hose beast* been acceptable as catharsis?

I don't happen to like 'DumbJack!' but whenever I have written him, I have written him as being the intelligent, thoughtful, charismatic officer that he is. Or at very least, tried to! The fact that he's boiking his civvy consultant is neither here nor there;) (not to mention the science Major and the Jaffa - depending on what day of the week it is:D)) So I like OT3/4 fics... pfffft!

Destroying a character is relatively easy. Writing them as they have the potential to be is harder... I'm not saying that I can do it *well*, I am just saying that it ain't easy. You don't have to take what is written as so called 'canon' as fact. Hell - they have seemingly made a total hash of it as of late...

Make your own reality people!!


*With thanks to 'Waynes World' for that most excellent insult!
