"sugar cookie" tea is pretty good.

poohmusings is a bad influence. Pointing me to SPN wank when she should be doing things like answering my interview questions.

Ah, "BNF" wank. You gotta love it. Like Karen said, it's the typical "BNFs = bad!" post that every fandom gets once they become a Fandom.

I'll never quite get why people are so concerned with which person might know this or that person, and what they might be saying behind locked posts. Or giving more weight to what someone says just because they're more "well known." But if someone *is* into swimming down that stream...have fun. I'm not gonna yell at you for doing whatever you please. Just remember that "well known" does not necessarily equal "sane."

And unlike the SPN poster who's telling people to venture outside their comfort zones (which was more in relation to reading fic), I'd *much* prefer to paddle around in tiny little pools where the glee is plentiful, snark is there when you need it, and I make my own crazy, thank you very much.

So there.

HA! I will, promise. Am simply waiting for n's questions and maybe something else to post about. I'm going through an odd phase where I want my posts to be about something. Which, I know, is silly.

And where certain wieneranimals will exchange worrying glances behind your back and mouth "Oh no. There she goes AGAIN." to each other. :D (You know I tease 'cause I can lurve, right?)

Nah. It's better than my 25 posts a day.

Uh huh. :D

Also, I *know* there had to have been a conversation between you and Jojo when I went off the DW deep end that went like...

Karen: Dude. Is she serious? I can't tell. Did she go nuts? What just happened?

Jojo: Yeah, just ignore her.

Poor Jojo lived through my S/J insane days. Besides, the mocking keeps me grounded.

It's even so much the BNFs=BAD. It's the "OMG you guys! Stop being friends and hanging out with each other! It's mean!" thing that comes out of most of those BNF wanks.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yup! That's what the vibe from this one as well. That whole, "OMG, they're a clique! And they won't let me in!" Hrm. Maybe they're just friends? But apparently relationships must be weighed against fandom impact.

Julie? Can I use you for your SG-1 newsletter power? I'd like to start drawing nude pictures of Daniel in various poses, and I wanna make sure they get linked. All the time.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

You realize that if I wasn't at work, you'd be getting a dirty little stick figure drawing? Unfortunately, by the time I get home, the moment will have passed. There's a tiny window of funny, you know.

[poohmusings.livejournal.com]

"OMG you guys! Stop being friends and hanging out with each other! It's mean!"

Which, oddly enough, also seems to have the underlying whine of "Stop being friends with each other so you'll be friends with MEEEEEEE." I know this happens over and over (and over and over) again, but I still can't stop boggling.

[poohmusings.livejournal.com]

*SNORT*

I can just imagine Julie's response if you did send her such a drawing.

Julie: Oh, an email from Michelle. I wonder what she sent me. What's this? A drawing of Daniel? Why would she-- Oh my god. OH MY GOD. My eyes! My eyes! MICHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLE! *shakes fists*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

BWAH!

And I'd have to *tell* her it was Daniel, otherwise she'd probably think I was sending her random stick-figure porn.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

And I *would* like Julie to someday again beta my fic, and so I'm thinking sending her tiny Daniel wang is off the list.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Or maybe it would help...

[splash-the-cat.livejournal.com]

And you know what I would send you in return?

DR WHO MANIPS. WITH BABIES.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

WAH.

[natmerc.livejournal.com]

You're not a BNF? I've been lurking here for months under false impressions?

Alas, and alack -- I shall just have to satisfy myself with reading your random posts of general fen craziness (of which I find highly amusing) and secretly despair at all the truly, TRULY wacked out intelligent DW posts that you have friendslocked.

*cries in the corner*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

You're not a BNF? I've been lurking here for months under false impressions?

Sorry about that. *pats* But good rule of thumb to spot the difference - BNFs have minions. Sadly, I can't make anyone do anything.

Hmmm. I *have* flocked some posts, haven't I? Maybe then I *am* talking about other people! But they will never know! Mwahahahahaha! Or, you know, it's just me crying about Rose over and over and over and over...

*cries in the corner*

*pats and offers a cookie*

[splash-the-cat.livejournal.com]

Well, you do make us wonder about your sanity sometimes.

[natmerc.livejournal.com]

BNFs have minions. Sadly, I can't make anyone do anything.

So that's how you tell them apart? Okay. But don't you have to be a BNF to know these secret details?

That paragraph was better than the virtual cookie at making me laugh. Thanks. I'm going to just have to go off and watch some DW #4 to cheer myself up even more.

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

Well, and it's so obvious really, that what this person is really saying is thus: a) they won't be friends with meeeee! and b) nobody comments on my fic as much as they do on theirs! *sniff*

As others have pointed out, personally? I'm in fandom to have fun. If we were to do all that she proposes to help the supposed little people in fandom, it wouldn't be fun anymore, it'd be work. And so much with the no on that.

Also, there's a rather interesting digression on just what the hell she means by "economy fandom," but that's another issue. Check your email, if you haven't already.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I like to keep people guessing! Keep them on their toes! Am I sane? Is it all an act? Will I have the 24th *and* 25th nervous breakdown today? Who the hell knows! Not me, that's for sure.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

So that's how you tell them apart? Okay. But don't you have to be a BNF to know these secret details?

You do not. It's not as extreme as the Masons. Or so I'm told. Although I have heard tale of candles and sheep.

*snickers*

Four's good for what ails you! [insert Doctor joke]

Pretty much, yeah. And this song and dance is as old as fandom...

Well, yeah! And like some other people have pointed out in that post, there's probably a reason they're a BNF. Sure, you'll always run across the BNF where you're always asking yourself, "Why? Dear God, WHY do people like her/him?" But with some, they're that way because they do put out stuff people enjoy. With SG-1 fandom I was aware of BNFs because I read a *lot* of fic. With DW fandom - not a clue. I could have BNFs on my flist and not know it! OMG. *retroactively fangirls*

Also, there's a rather interesting digression on just what the hell she means by "economy fandom," but that's another issue. Check your email, if you haven't already.

That was BRILLIANT.

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

Oh, the thing that amuses me the most aside from that thing I showed you? The newbs wandering in and posting things like, "I hate to bother you, but what's a BNF, anyway." *giggles and pets their sweet heads* Oh, you don't know now, but you will learn, oh yes you will.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Awwww! That's so cute!

[katesutton.livejournal.com]

Why do people take fandom so seriously? It's supposed to be fun, right? All this 'get off your behind and out of your comfort zone and be the RIGHT KIND OF FAN!' stuff boggles my mind. Who knew it was such a job.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I know! I think I may start demanding pay and benefits.

[miladyhawke.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure what you're talking about with the hamster, but I did recently find a D/R/J fic where Jack's consciousness finds its way into a guinea pig's body, and, well, you can probably guess where this is going :-P

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

O.
M.
G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[calyx.livejournal.com]

Omg. I think I just about choked on my ice cream. I think you should find that fic and post the link. mrv3000 will be unable to stop herself from clicking the link and think of the fun we'll have then!

[miladyhawke.livejournal.com]

Okay!
