"I think my name is Seely," said David Boreanaz.  
Because it is hilarious:



From the post: The object is to write a ficlet for a fandom you're not a part of based solely on what you've learned from your friends list and fandom at large.

placebetween, I think this is your calling. Naturally I love the Doctor Who one, but my other favourites are Sherlock, Merlin, Bones and one of the LOST ones, which are all accurate reflections of how I imagine the show and/or fic to be. Lots of them are pretty good though, to be honest.

This is going to provide hours of entertainment, I can already tell.

Though it is sort of driving home how monomaniacal everyone on my flist is about one show. I hardly ever hear anyone talking about anything except Who-related things. I think the only show that I haven't ever seen that I actually know the names of the characters for is Supernatural.

The only problem I notice is that for fandoms where there is already a pretty good (parody) fic written, I'm sort of left going "well, that covers that"and therefore don't feel the need to participate myself. But I am enjoying most of the fics plenty.

Fandoms I kinda-sorta know through my flist would include Lost, Buffy, Supernatural, BSG, Legend of the Seeker, Gossip Girl... okay actually I guess there a lot. But then, thanks to fandomsecrets I went into Doctor Who assuming it would be pretty standard to ship Nine/Rose and Ten/Martha, so.

LOL Learning about fandoms through their dirty laundry and butthurt always leads to complete accuracy.

I really just ignore peoples posts about shows I don't watch, so it just goes in one ear and out the other. I did very much enjoy the CW RPS paraody, though. For some reason all things SPN and SPN-related stick in my mind. Maybe because the fandom is so over-the-top insane.


ALSO! The Classic Who is is so spot-on. Little did I know before I started watching it for real that actually Susan is so not-awesome that she sucks any awesome that may already be existing in the room into her swirling blackhole of non-awesome and that awesome is never seen or heard-from again. She's that non-awesome.

It was especially baffling when I had, like, no idea why shipping what seemed to be Guy1/Girl1 and Guy2/Girl2 were mutually exclusive.

There are a couple shows that I don't even watch but yet I follow reaction posts just in some weird sense of amusement. LOST was good for this, because the reaction posts never actually SAY what happened, they just... react, obviously, so you end up with things like "NOOOO SKATE" and "OMG POLAR BEAR" and it is all hilarious to me. placebetween has told me numerous times that she reads all of my Doctor Who posts for the same brand of amusement, so I guess I am not alone.

Omg the SPN-related RPF one. lololol

LOL SUSAN. It's true, having never seen anything of her -- okay actually I think I saw One ditch her once, but aside from that -- I have like, a vague notion in my head that she is awesome. Based on nothing. And in reality my own opinion of Classic Who suggests I am far more likely to agree with you about her not-awesomeness if I were to actually watch anything.

Poor Susan. The thing of it is, Susan is effing hot. I was so disappointed to learn how much she sucks because I was prepared to ship her with everyone and everything (er, not her grandfather, this isn't SPN) but... my LORD I would not wish her on anyone.

Hee, this was great! My favourite was this LOTS one:

"If you were on any other show, you would be male and people would ship you with me and bash Kahlan in a horribly misogynist way," said Richard. "But this show has the nicest fandom ever, so they'll ship all three of us in a big dogpile of happy, adorable love!"

Because FUCK YEAH, Seeker DOES have the Nicest Fandom Ever and I love it!!!
Kali_thirty2flavors on October 15th, 2010 05:13 pm (UTC)
LOTS is one of the fandoms I could probably write for in that fest. I have never seen a single episode but have a basic understanding that the hero is named Richard, there is someone named Kahlan who is a Mother Confessor and I think that means they can't have sex for some reason, and there is someone named Cara who wears a lot of spandexy leather and may or may not be canonically bisexual.

I am supposed to be doing translation-ish type things but this is way more interesting. How can I refuse the call of a dinosaur wearing glasses and writing DW fic? HOW?
Kali_thirty2flavors on October 15th, 2010 05:14 pm (UTC)
AND HE LOVES BUFFY

seriously when I saw it I was like "well I guses that is what I am doing at work today", lol.

It occurs to me that there are a LOT of fandoms I could probably write for in this fest, lirl
michelemiss_mishi on October 15th, 2010 05:49 pm (UTC)
omg I'm just like lol everywhere because people's perceptions of things they don't watch is just the GREATEST EVER

I'm on the supernatural one now
Kali_thirty2flavors on October 15th, 2010 05:52 pm (UTC)
I like how Supernatural has the most fics of all LIRLLL

The Merlin one is exactly my perception of Merlin and the fandom

and the Bones one is exactly how I imagine the show
michelemiss_mishi on October 15th, 2010 05:54 pm (UTC)
RIGHT THEY'RE SO INDICATIVE OF HOW I PERCEIVE THE SHOWS AND I LOVE IT

FANDOMSECRETS AND MY FLIST HAVE TAUGHT ME SO MUCH
michelemiss_mishi on October 15th, 2010 06:00 pm (UTC)
ESPECIALLY THE BONES ONE AND THE HOUSE ONE AND THE SUPERNATURAL ONES AND I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO MERLIN YET
Kali_thirty2flavors on October 15th, 2010 06:04 pm (UTC)
OMG HOUSE

I FORGOT THE HOUSE ONE LOL

the Merlin one is good. that might also be my general amusement at Merlin fandom, though.
michelemiss_mishi on October 15th, 2010 06:05 pm (UTC)
omg the merlin one is pretty much exactly how I imagine the show to be. down to the the blonde one or the dark haired one is merlin but I can't remember which is which
Kali_thirty2flavors on October 15th, 2010 06:09 pm (UTC)
I've seen like... four episodes so I know which one is Merlin and which one is Arthur (mostly in my head it's "Merlin is the guy from Midnight!!!") but I am so bemused by the show in general that the fic is spot-on. Even the title gets points.

The HIMYM ones are good too.
michelemiss_mishi on October 15th, 2010 06:10 pm (UTC)
ohhh okay see in my brain the dark haired one should be arthur because I know he's the main character but even though the show is called merlin I always assume arthur will be the main character in the arthur myths...

I haven't read the himym ones brb doing that
Kali_thirty2flavors on October 15th, 2010 06:18 pm (UTC)
LOL NOPE

the HIMYM ones cracked me up. What a great idea for a fic fest thing.
michelemiss_mishi on October 15th, 2010 05:50 pm (UTC)
OH MY GOD I JUST READ THE TRUE BLOOD ONE AND I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING

LOL FIRST OF ALL I'M ACTUALLY DYING I AM SO HAPPY. SO HAPPY. BRB WRITING DOCTOR WHO FIC. BUT THE FIRST ONE UNDER THIS IS

"Surprise!" says Matt Smith. "Don't I know you, Billie Piper?"

"I think I'm married to David Tennant's human clone somewhere. Also we had a baby in a Victorian miniseries," Billie Piper muses contemplatively.

YOUR FIC WILL BE THE BEST FIC OF ALL THE FICS

I WAS GOING TO OFFER TO WRITE YOU FIC IN REETURN BUT IDEK WHAT YOU WATCH BESIDES GOSSIP GIRL AND TOM FELTON'S TWITTER

LIRL LIRL I AM SORRY THE BBC RUINED THIS FOR YOU
Nichothodes Koryfoidesplacebetween on October 15th, 2010 06:46 pm (UTC)
Its just like ... not even in the BBC world did Sally and Jim even look like they might have a baby I BLAME YOU DOCTOR WHO FOR THIS

I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS MEME I AM WASTING ALL OF THIS TIME READING THIS MEME AND LOLLING. Also I am sitting and tpying this on an iPad because that is how dedicated I am to lj commenting wooooooooo

Also lol lol I haven't watched gossip girl in two years I should clearly make my interests more evident, although I guess I care only about Tom Feltons twitter with any real regularity so A+
Kali_thirty2flavors on October 15th, 2010 06:59 pm (UTC)
Billie never has a baby on Doctor Who (thank god) so I have no idea where they got it from. She had one in real life?

that sounds like a lot of dedication. I have never used an ipad but I feel like the keyboard would be frustrating.

I should have been a bit more specific, Gossip Girl was the only show I could think of that I also know anything about. I think you have been watching ...One Tree Hill or something maybe but I have no idea about that show. Possibly so little idea I GOT IT WRONG ENTIRELY
