You know, I usually think I sound too serious, or obsessed, or explain things too much or not enough, or sound too 'artsy' or faux!thinky without meaning to, whatever.

So of course when I make a really silly/casual post about wanting to write 'King Dork' slash, THE WRITER HIMSELF has to see and POST ON HIS BLOG ABOUT IT to the consternation and superior bemusement of his readers, like 'ewww, slash' and 'oh, it's one of -those- people' & 'wtf is that person saying??' type reactions. :/

Actually, my first response was all 'lakflkajdfklsvdjhOMGWTFWOW' (laughing my ass off), but it's also kind of... scary, y'know. It made me realize just -how- much we're living in our own tiny bubble which people really -wouldn't- get, much as I like to blithely pretend otherwise, because people don't -suck-, do they? Like, they don't suck enough to constantly dismiss things they don't understand, do they?? Oh wait. :/

It's also REALLY weird and freaky to know a 'real writer' could read this-- hell, -JKR- could be reading us without any of us the wiser!! The whole thing just made me realize I respect & admire the author of a book I like... FROM A DISTANCE. I definitely want my space, man. And also, anti-slash oh-I'm-so-superior people deserve to have dirty raunchy RPS written about them till they faint from shock :P
~~

EDIT - Holy crap, they don't make H/D vids like they used to o_0 Omg... just, watched the recent fluffy H/D vid of DOOM~! My EYES, my eyes!!1 Or should I say, the MANIPS, the manips!! :(( Watched the whole thing 'cause I saw someone say it made them remember why they shipped H/D. Made -me- remember why I avoid most fic like the plague, personally :P Of course, nothing can match the GENIUS of 'The Way Things Are' vid for pure unfiltered H/D spirit, not even [livejournal.com profile] silviakundera's vids. ♥♥♥. FOR SERIOUS!

...I actually found [livejournal.com profile] layha's classic 'The Way Things Are' & 'Through With You' here, if you scroll down. Man. Her website's gone & she's left fandom, but the BEAT GOES ON. ♥

It's sort of freaky!
...I dunno, would you want the main actor guy from SGA seeing your lj?? I know it's a freaky question, but like... okay, my answer is -NO- ^^;;;;

Being me, I've thought about that (of course :)) - and thought that having icons of your face all over LJ would be weird enough. And I always go for ironic distance (even if people laugh about it) and at least JF couldn't be upset about content, but I feel protective of him anyway, so that's another pair of shoes to whoever that King Dork Dr. Frank is :) but yeah, it is scary enough for me to know that people who don't like me and never talk with me read me and talk about me, so I really can understand you!

WHATTTTTTTT(stutter)TTTTTT.

That is beyond awkward. Oh man. XD

But if I ever get around to writing my crazy ideas down, I would model myself after [livejournal.com profile] blackholly and all her easy going, accessible, internet in-jokey glory.

On the one hand, I'm like, HOW IN THE FLIPPING HELL DID HE FIND IT, but my guess is it's either in google (barely a day passed, so unlikely), or he was surfing ljseek for himself-- and look, here it is (http://www.ljseek.com/dork-king-frank_s4.html), second place!-- sigh. :/

Sometimes the author is -too- internet savvy, if anything ^^;;
Though I can't imagine being made uncomfortable by a cool person finding me :P But then, people still intimidate me with too much attention no matter who they are, ahahah.

The guy must google for himself 10 times a day.

I know exactly what you mean about our bubble. It extends beyond stuff like slash, though, into fannish behaviour as a whole... I keep trying to explain to members of my family what Lumos is and the appeal of it, and they totally don't get it. They think I want to go to the slot machines. Whoever that Sam person is doesn't get that the context of your post was not exactly included.

Also, since you're talking about H/D vids, I have to just say, NOTHING CAN EVER BE AS GOOD AS "SHE BANGS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is hands-down one of the best fanvids I've ever seen. I say that as a vidder.

I WAS TOTALLY THINKING THAT.

Wow, I thought it wasn't that weird to go to cons!! Man! I thought 'normal' people knew that sci-fi/fantasy fans go to cons-- it's like... uh, one of our better-known weird ritual-type things?? I was actually happy when I went to a con 'cause it gave some degree of normalcy or 'respectability' to my obsession, which just shows yet again how warped my view is, ahahah :)) -.-


AND OMG OMG I FORGOT ABOUT 'SHE BANGS', THOUGH I DON'T KNOW HOW I COULD :( :( I FORGOT WHO MADE IT, ALSO, BUT I REMEMBER THE GENIUS :( :( NOW I WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN & I DON'T HAVE IT ON THIS LAPTOP!! :(( But! You have to admit Layha's vid is like 1000x better than that other thing recently making the rounts :> :> can you sent it to me?? *bats eyes*

Google -and- ljseek ><;;;
...and he posts pics of random people reading his book in public on his blog.... I don't know whether he stalks them, tells people to mail him those things & what, ahahah. -.-

They just don't get that it's an unofficial con for the FANDOM; ie, my aunt was joking and was all, "Is Harry Potter going to be there? ;)" and my grandma was like, "JKR is going to be there, right?" I was all, "WTF NO, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT IDEA?" It's really hard for people who aren't fannish to understand concepts that are like fandom and slashers.

Sure I can send it to you! Is .wmv good?

Man I am too hesitant to watch most HP vids.

Well, it's a sense it's odd that we -don't- have official cons with Dan Radcliffe on them & stuff. I mean, Star Trek people come even to little dinky cons, y'know. JKR doesn't love us, 'tis true :( Though yeah... um, I wouldn't relish explaining fandom itself to my grandma. First of all I'd have to explain fanfiction, and then they'd just ask me wide-eyed if I couldn't just stop now & write original fic, 'cause they -know- how good I am, etcect ^^;;;

But yes, um, .wmv is totally good! That's what Layha's vids are in, which you should watch if you haven't! They're classic, totally up there, though I agree about most HP vids being made my total fangirl amateurs. There just isn't a vid culture in HP the way there is in TV-based fandoms, where there are reviews and whole rec websites and things. But um, I know Layha & Silvia & you, so I have my (old-school, haha) sources :> Plus most of the vids people make seem to be R/Hr & H/G, and the idea of the movies spliced into romantic OBHWF songs...... *shudder*

And btw, um, continuing my role as your sometime crack provider... [livejournal.com profile] rubymoth's crack!porn is totally up your alley if you hadn't heard of her yet, or at least the Calanthe valley :> :> Mostly I'd say Lubricity (http://www.catthause.com/rubymoth/lubricity.html) and Star Crossed Seekers (http://www.catthause.com/rubymoth/starcrossed.html), which are both post-OoTP AUs, & I guess The Unauthorized Biography of Harry Potter (http://www.catthause.com/rubymoth/biography.html) is also good for the crack!fluffy porn angle... even if it's post-Hogwarts so I'm a little meh. Cute + smutty though with somewhat of a Harry-cockslut!Draco :))

I've had "Through With You" for ages! But I'm afraid nothing can compare with "She Bangs" for me anymore. It's just one of those things that spoils the rest of something for you... I uploaded it here (http://pincushionheart.net/xo/Bunniqula%20-%20She%20Bangs.wmv).

Well, there's lots of sci-fi/fantasy cons where a lot of the "lesser" actors in the HP movies attend. I'm not surprised DanRad doesn't go to cons, because can you imagine the crowdedness and the fan craziness?

THANKS FOR THE HOOK-UP!

AhAHAHAHA THAT VID <3<3<3<3 Total cracklove-- especially love the references to lacy things & underwear. :D :D You know, this is like the vid equivalent of one of your fics if one might say 'Through With You' is the vid equivalent of one of mine :)) Though I actually aspire to The Way Things Are, that's more Rach's fics :)) Anyway, er, THANK YOU THAT WAS AWESOME :D :D

...'tis true his parents are probably (rightly) afraid several fangirls would gang up & drag him off somewhere to make him shag pretty plond boys... *___*
