CAPTIVE PRINCE NEEDS YOU... for the FINAL!

2014-04-07T15:45:19Z

Against all odds, a lone slash title produced in the LJ community (Captive Prince) has made it into the finals of this competition, beating out a multitude of het romances. This excellent story has to overcome one last hurdle in the FINALS. If you have a couple of free seconds, please vote for my friend Freece. Just scroll down to the bottom of this post and click the link. Thank you so much in advance. I'd really like to see her win this.

Captive Prince has made it all the way to the finals of the DABWAHA awards, the ultimate drag-down book contest where bribes are allowed! And to help it win, you need to vote!

In the final round, we face Love Irresistibly, by Julie James. James and her book have come through five rounds of competition, winning over epic titles and carrying the banner of awesome contemporary romance.

Of the 64 books in the competition, only Love Irresistibly and Captive Prince are remaining. So this is it you guys . . . it all comes down to one vote.

I will host a competition that will give readers twenty-four hours to guess, and at the end of the day I will reveal the Regent's name. The first reader to have guessed correctly will receive a free copy of the books, signed and personalised if they wish. * A sketch of Laurent from E of Teahouse fame. That's right. E. Teahouse.

And for the Final Mystery Bribe:

I will commit to a DVD commentary of two chapters from book three, as chosen by you all in some sort of mega poll of awesome when the book comes out!

QUARTER FINALS!

Captive Prince is now in the quarter finals of the DABWAHA awards, the ultimate drag-down book contest where trash talking and bribes are allowed! And to help it win, you need to vote!

In our toughest round yet, we are up against the competition FAVOURITE - the amazing New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh. In the 'betting pool' leading up to the competition, 434 people bet on Nalini to win, compared with . . . 5 for Captive Prince.

The numbers seem impossible. But sometimes someone unexpected can cause an upset to even the most certain outcome.

Can we do it? Can we take on a NYT bestselling het romance and cause the biggest upset in the competition?

Superman/Batman Archive

2014-01-11T02:05:32Z

So...I have this Superman/Batman Archive that I've kept up for years now. I'm seriously thinking of just taking it down for good. I'm tired of paying for it every month, and I'm rather tired of answering email about passwords that can't be reset because Yahoo won't deliver the auto-generated password email, not even into the person's spam folder, apparently. I can't turn off the password generator because then the archive will end up with a ton of robot spam posts.

I'm just not sure it's worth doing this into perpetuity anymore when AO3 is available.

Traditionally (and for over a decade), I've been a serious proponent of pairing-based archives, and I've never thought that it was wise to aggragate all of fandom works into one central archive without backup and side collections. But fandom has changed so drastically, and it's not really a homey place anymore where I think I need to care. The person who was developing the eFiction script that most of the archives use hasn't updated it in ages. Eventually, the script will become completely obsolete, either in form or function, so why keep throwing money at a website that I can't develop myself?

The thing about this S/B collection is that I did get permission to archive some of the older stories of authors who are MIA and that aren't really housed anywhere else. If I shut down the site, access to those stories may cease to exist entirely. Perhaps I shouldn't really care about that at this point. Perhaps I should migrate them as a collection to AO3, but I doubt I'll have the motivation to dedicate the time.

Anyway, everytime I pay the hosting bill I think about this. LOL I wonder if AO3 will ever get out of Beta status, and if the script will ever be made available for ancillary archives, as I believe was originally intended.

Perhaps as I move towards 20 years in fandom, I simply don't care as much as I once did.

Invite to AO3

2012-12-22T19:10:01Z

I have an extra invite to AO3. Please PM me if you want it. First come etc.

Le sigh -- Batman and Robin

2011-10-16T16:53:13Z

So...I never really write Robin, or the batfamily, really, other than Alfred. I just have no reading background in the Batman comics and don't know enough about all the ancillary characters to make the notion of a bunch of kids running around fighting dangerous criminals under the auspices of an obsessive-compulsive make enough sense for me to want to novelize it.

Yet, I've just plotted out two whole stories for my S/B fanzine that feature Dick Grayson. I can't even tell if what I want to do sounds interesting, because I'm so skeptical about whether I can pull off using Dick without falling into a kiddie trope and gagging myself on the tripe. lol

Do you want to help me brainstorm? If I give you two summaries, can you give me uses of Dick within that scenario that would be interesting to you? I'm sort of hoping that I will learn a bunch of little idiosyncrasies about Dick that I didn't know about that will make my writing of him more authentic, without me having to go read a bunch of source material.

So, if you are not doing anything today and Dick is your favorite character -- if you read these scenarios, how would you like to see him handled:

Summary 1:

Dick Grayson forms a plan to prove to Batman that he is ready to fight at his side by solving the mystery of the Metropolis Red-Blue Blur. He figures the best place to start his investigation is by following Lois Lane. (As an aside, I was going to try to hook Dick up with SV version of Impulse -- do Dick and the incarnation of Flash after Wally have a relationship in comics?)

Summary 2:

It seems to Dick Grayson that he has always wanted Clark Kent, since the first time, 10 years ago, when Superman showed him what it felt like to fly without the benefit of a swing or a net. Yet, Clark has never wanted anyone but Bruce. Dick loves his guardian, but he knows better than anyone that Bruce is incapable of loving Clark the way he deserves. He knows just as well that Clark will never love anyone but Bruce. Then, one day, a possibility presents itself. What if Dick could go back--back before there was a Bruce and a Clark. Back to when there was just...Clark, and his heart was free to find someone else to love? Someone who could love him like he deserved. Someone like himself, who would be old enough to compete with Bruce on his own level.

Soo...insight and ideas would be welcome. :)

Why?!

2011-10-10T00:08:59Z

Why is it only in Hawaii Five-O slash comms that this seems rational:

Pairing: Steve/Danny, Lori. Not really slash, more gen than anything but if you prefer to see it that way you can.

Why would this be posted to the Steve/Danny pairing-specific slash comm? Why is the author listing Steve/Danny as the pairing if THERE IS NO PAIRING??

What do gen ficcers in this fandom have against posting to gen comms? I find it really ridiculous to force people on a topical comm to sort through off-topic stuff, simply because the author apparently feels that she would get more attention on a slash comm.

It just continues to baffle me.

Good Lord...

2011-10-08T23:49:58Z

...the new girl on Hawaii Five-O is not working for me. Not working at ALL. Is there a petition somewhere that I can sign to get her booted off the island? The Steve-Danny banter has disappeared because she's always around. And Scott Caan looks bored to death. Good grief. :(

Rest in Peace, Mr. Jobs

2011-10-06T04:05:35Z

Genius. I will remember you and the indelible mark you left on my life through the products I've loved most for 25 years. Apple has been the tech soundtrack of my life. Your fan forever.

Geezus H Crimeny

2011-10-04T13:05:08Z

So the HFO-slash mod -- you know her response to my off-topic complaint of gen posted to a slash comm? They decided to allow gen because lots of people like it. o.O

Doesn't that sort of defeat--wait, forget it.

One less comm for me to belong to.

Anyway, do you have any Smallville bunnies for adoption that involve Bruce? If so, can you deposit them HERE? I'd be much obliged, as I have need of a plot.

Rock em Sock em

2011-10-04T03:32:11Z

Just read a review for Rock em Sock em, the Hugh Jackman movie with the boxing robots. The reviewer pretty much despised the movie, but how can I take him seriously when his review neglected the first basic premise of robots: Giant Robots are Cool and Interesting by Definition. The movie doesn't have to be good. If it has giant robots, it gets a pass. Silly reviewer. Next, he's going to want to hold Godzilla movies to an arthouse standard.

Merlin Recs

2011-10-04T02:56:59Z

Does anyone have any recs for this specific setting:

Merlin/Arthur, Merlin/Gwaine, Authur jealous, set in the timeperiod of the show (not modern).

Also, is there a repository of Merlin stories that are tagged by topic?

Thanks!

le sigh

2011-10-04T02:50:31Z

Dear hawaii5_0slash mod:

I was wondering why gen stories that contain no slash (or contain slash if you squint and want to see it that way) are being posted to a slash comm. I'm not sure about anyone else, but I join topical comms to get topic-specific content. It gets annoying to have my view-list cluttered by things that are off-topic and of no interest to me. I don't belong to any gen comms or het comms. I simply want slash where I expect it to be.

Is it possible to moderate this comm so posts are on-topic?

Thanks!
Theresa

I must be in a bad mood today. Everything is effing bothering me.

Plaintive Mewling

2011-10-03T14:21:21Z

When an author writes a crossover, she typically takes the tenets of each universe as true and mixes them together. For example, if I crossed Stargate and Highlander, I'd come up with a scenario where the Game was going on behind the scenes at some point in the future where the stargates have been discovered.

Some universes, however, are really not compatible. They are analogous to combining two separate planets.

That's the trouble you have with crossing the Marvel and DC universes. They are both set in the world, but the worlds are different. They are completely different realities, timelines, versions etc. If you're going to cross them, you really have to develop a pretext. You can't simply pluck one or two characters out of one universe and stick them in the other as if they exist there. I mean, you can, but it makes no SENSE.

STOP PUTTING TONY STARK IN THE DC UNIVERSE!!!

Effing PLEASE. Best way to ruin a particularly good read: do something that breaks the internal consistency of the story.

Marvel and DC have two different government structures. Mutants are feared and often hunted in Marvel. There is no Gotham City or Metropolis in Marvel. In Marvel, Stark Industries is the top tech company and Tony Stark the dissolute playboy. You can't just insert him into DC!!!!

I think if I read another story with Tony Stark randomly inserted into the DC Universe I'm going to...mewl very, very LOUDLY.

My Existential Crisis

2011-09-23T14:39:41Z

Now, I think it may be time for me to retire from fandom.

Based on the results of the upcoming poll, I may just have to close down my laptop and throw out my slash goggles because I may have finally become too old for fandom.

View Poll: #1780903

8th Grade Vocabulary

2011-09-20T12:37:35Z

Do you know these words?

ancillary
perception
aggregate

Do you think these words are too complex for the average reader to understand without resorting to a dictionary? Do you think a literate 8th grader would be unable to comprehend these words?

I'm really curious because I'm currently in a heated battle with one of my copyeditors who seems to want me to write like some hypothetical 8th grade-level everyman who doesn't know the definition of "perception." I'm not sure what for about this hypothetical illiterate 8th grader of whom she speaks, but when I was in 8th grade, I most certainly could define those words.

I'm thinking my vocabulary and her vocabulary should never meet in a dark alley for a fight.

In any case, $125,000+ in student loans says that I'm not, under any circumstances, going to start writing like her hypothetical 8th grader.

I can honestly say that I've never heard of Modern Family. Apparently, it is some sort of sitcom?

I don't understand sitcom watching, particularly watching sitcoms about other dysfunctional families. What is so interesting about that? We live family life every day. Why watch a show about it? It's the same thing over and over again. Middle America is so damn boring and has no imagination. How does Modern Family compare with the creativity of Fringe or Walking Dead or Justified or even Supernatural.

How can some sitcom guy beat out the guy who plays Walter on Fringe (Denathor from LoTR). That guy is effing amazing. He plays two completely different characters, and you would swear they are not even the same person, he's so good. And one of the characters he plays is crazy, and the other is scary. He's fabulous. What do we have going on with Modern Family, is it another show about a fat middle aged guy scratching his ass and farting while his obnoxious kids and put-upon wife run around trying to keep him happy? Even the title sounds boring.

And they canceled The Chicago Code. Good grief.

What the effing Fuck?!

2011-09-18T17:58:55Z

So, I'm sitting in a a public cafe, working on my writing. This guy sits at the table next to me and starts a video conference call with this girl in Thailand. Yes, I have to sit through hearing him sex up some girl. "Maybe you should lift your skirt a little higher..."

"Yeah, a little higher..."

"So you're ready to go to sleep? You're tired? So I can have one more look before you go to bed...? Don't forget to pull up. Higher. Higher. Turn around...That's nice..."

Who does this? Does he think he's being circumspect. TAKE YOUR DICK AND GO HOME.

God!

OMG, a bible tour of the Met. God save me from bible-thumpers. I must look like I need to be saved because this is the second bible-related invitation I received from strangers today.

No, I'm not interested in a book club that reads books that support the bible. No, I am not interested in a museum tour that emphasizes artefacts that support the bible. I'm a closet heathen. And a Catholic. I believe in going to church twice a year, at Easter and Xmas. I really do not need to study the bible.

Thank you.

PS,
And you know I can't be rude to the bible-thumpers because I'd likely be hit with lightning. So I have to act like I'm interested. SURE, I will be right there on Thursday for the BORING ASS bible book study thing. Text me. YES, a bible-themed visit to the Met sounds scintillating...(sp?) Where are we all meeting? Okay, I'll meet you down there...Good GRIEF!

Oh Danny!

2011-09-17T18:10:22Z

Do you watch Hawaii 5-0? Have you seen the guy who plays Danny, Scott Caan? In what fandom delusion would he be described as out of shape? Have you seen him in those half-naked pictures. The guy couldn't be more in shape.

Why is it that just because he's short, that necessitates a description as "stocky"? Per Merriam-Websters: Stocky = compact, sturdy and relatively THICK in build. Who are you looking at that you would see Scott Caan and think, "Stocky!" Get thee a dictionary, please.

And how would you extrapolate that Caan's build makes him built for endurance running and not speed? Because he's short? Short people can run fast. Because he's...stocky? *sigh* Please. PLEASE. I can't take it anymore.

I don't know. I must be watching a different show.
