Fannish Items of Interest

Books-a-Million is following the lead of Barnes and Noble, and removing graphic novels from the shelves. Since they’re the only bookstore (no comic stores, aside from the short-lived one in a tattoo parlor, I do believe—and an old one that smells of smoke, mildew, and pot on all their merchandise) around here, I’m understandably not pleased. If I have to get something that they no longer carry, I’ll go to Amazon.

Syfy has renewed Haven for a third season.

Ringer gets a full season order. whedonesque discusses it here.

New posters for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

New York Comic Con preview for Saturday’s activities.

Complex has their list of The 50 Scariest TV Shows Of All Time. Buffy, Dark Shadows, Eerie Indiana, and Are You Afraid of the Dark are a few of the ones that made the list. Some I disagree with, some I’ve never heard of—like Dead At 21—but it’s interesting.

In other news, from now on when I go outside I’ll probably have to remember to change into long pants and long sleeves or a jacket, even if it’s warm. I’m a mosquito magnet, no matter what I try. Two days ago, I went to check Toby, and came back with two or three mosquito bites. I’m fine. Elsewhere—either this county or barely one over, however, same time I was out, a guy was mowing. Also bitten by a mosquito. Suddenly developed a fever, and a few other problems. End of the day, he’s dead of West Nile Virus. His is a rare case, since the cases that went around in 2009 didn't kill anyone. Still, I'm not taking any chances.

Game: X-Project
Genre: X-Men Movieverse on LJ
Newly Available Characters: Rose Red, Anole, Ricochet, Surge, Leech, Sunpyre, Dust, Wither, Radius

Want to play a superhero and have grand adventures? Or perhaps you prefer a school-based game with all the drama involved in growing up and learning your place in the world? CSI-type private investigations? Dark and gritty spy games? Romance and relationships? X-Project has it all!

Brief Description of your game: X-Project is an X-Men movieverse RPG on Livejournal. Set after X2, we've been running since May 2003 and use a combination of in-character journals and email/IM logs. There's a number of settings for a range of play, whatever your preference, and while we accept new characters we strongly encourage people to adopt one of our orphans.

Link to Game Information/Application: Applications can be found here. Please read the previous history of the character before applying. A test log with the mods will usually be required, and we'll ask prospective players to communicate with players in the cases of significant relationships with a played character (eg: If you want to app Jeanne-Marie Beaubier, you'll be asked to ping Jean-Paul's player, to ensure continuity). See the FAQ on Applications for details.
