Fannish Items of Interest

For those interested, you can watch footage of a flashmob in Bristol, where people pretended to be Jedis and fought with lightsabers for a while. If it were the Doctor Who fandom trying to do something like that, I’m not sure what everyone could do. Dress like the Daleks or various Doctors and companions, and stage a fake battle? Waving sonic screwdrivers at them? (Part of me wants to see that)

The Five Most Disturbing X-Men Love Affairs.

There’s a new promo pic for the next season of Doctor Who—and a new trailer should pop up this Saturday.

Thanks to Io9, I have now heard Doctor In Distress. Yes, some of the singing is bad--but it’s not quite as bad as some American Idol auditions I’ve seen. I spotted Anthony Ainley (almost didn’t, because of his lack of beard) in the music video—possibly Colin Baker. I don’t know enough about Classic Who to really recognize anyone else. I’m working on fixing that, though.

crazydiamondsue has compiled a massive list of Buffy meta. A few things I wrote actually ended up on it. I’m mildly horrified and wanting to hide, yet happy at the same time. Of mine, they’ve collected an essay on Tara and another for Willow for idol_reflection, and my Willow/Tara and Angel/Darla ship_manifesto essays. Pretty much all the images in the essays are broken these days, because they happened to be hosted on either Greatestjournal or another image host that vanished. If they were including Firefly, my Wash/Zoe essay would have been added, and an essay I wrote about Inara.
