October 5
Welcome to Day 4, where once again we are thoroughly J-J-Jaded. (She's got her mama's style but she's yesterday's child to me...) Today's fivers are "Out of Gas" and "Shindig." (Note 1: I forgot to mention yesterday that Jade has dedicated her "Jaynestown" fiver to the memory of Kerry "Lux Lucre" Pearson, a Firefly filker of note. This will be reflected on the fiver page when I implement the next version of the PHP code.) (Note 2: Be sure to check out the Season 1 page before the end of this event. At that point I'll have to come up with real blurbs.) |
Wooo! :D
Great fivers and excellent job on the new subsite! :D |
Heh, no wonder Mal doesn't want to ever leave Serenity. He knows that it would come looking for him... :shock:
Kudos, Jade! I think the fiver of "Shindig" has to be my favourite so far. |

I liked the way you played with the scenes in Out of Gas, Jade. Especially when the characters would talk about upcoming scenes and whatnot. Btw, UST = Unrequited Sexual Tension? |

Derek- I think it's unresolved sexual tension.
|
Yep. By definition, tension is two-sided.
|
Yes, well, 'shippy acronyms are not something I'm familiar with, and it took me long enough to get to U____ Sexual Tension. Maybe Zeke can update the Abbreviations page.
|
Whoa. Nobody was dissing you, Derek, we were just answering your question.
The Abbreviations page is certainly in need of an update, but I don't really like most 'shipper terms enough to put them there. In fact, that's true of fandom terms in general. The day I put "OTP" on there is the day I need to be deposed. [EDIT: Oo, I have a better example. "Fen." That thing will never, never appear on my site.] |
No dis was inferred. Sorry if my tone came across wrong.
And is it pathetic that I have no clue what OTP or Fen are? Or is that a good thing? |
OTP is One True Pairing, but I only know that because I had to look it up recently.
A quick googling reveals that fen is the plural of fan, but I really struggle to see what is wrong with "fans". |
"Fans" isn't pretentious enough.
And just to be totally clear: Quote:

Also, "fen" was used as some sort of contract of "dolphin crewmen", possibly a feminine form, in David Brin's second Uplift trilogy (which I should go add to the Recommended Reading thread). |
Yet if it was, say, "fanii", you'd be all over it.
|
No I wouldn't. I don't even use "fora" for this place.
|
Which is a shame, as all "forums" are automatically improved in awesomeness and pretentiousness by being known as "fora"!
|
Well....how about the plural of "forum" being "fenums", and the plural of "fan" being "forans"?
:mrgreen: |
Considering the computer code involved, maybe the plural of forum could be "fortrans"? Or would those only be the very secure ones?
|
Heavens knows. I'm still trying to think of a good COBOL pun for Battlestar Galactica. Not for any particular reason, you understand.
|
Umm........something like "It is written that any return to COBOL will require blood, sweat toil and tears"?
That way you can work in Churchill too :D |
