As part of GISHWHES we have to make up a meaning for the hastag #IDGHP.
Could you please use #IDGHP on twitter andnd mention MC Hammer or Happy Pants? We are making it stand for "I Don't Get Happy Pants". ;)
Or just retweet me. https://twitter.com/starrylizards/status/497187640815255553

Thank you!

So, I will be a bit quiet this week as my team takes on GISHWHES.
I'm preparing to host a water fight full of people wearing business suits and make a giant nest among other crazy things.

There's a few things you can all do to help my marvellous team. I'll post about another thing later, but in the meantime if you'd all please follow this very fake Orlando Jones twitter account, we'd be stoked. Tell your friends and family. Pimp it out! We need 400 followers to get the points. (Challenge is to create a fake Orlando Jones account and get 400 followers.)

I have this weird idea in my brain that Dominion is an AU spin off of Supernatural and I'd love someone to sort of write an AU of both worlds that makes them fit together perfectly.

An AU idea - spoilers if you consider stuff you learn in the opening scenes of Dominon's first episode as spoilers. )

Anyway, it's probably batty, but it keeps making me smile thinking about it as I watch Dominion. So I thought I'd share and maybe spread the bug.

Also, what do you all think of Dominion? It's interesting, but the acting is a bit hit and miss... and the accents. So many of the actors seem to be pretending to be American and not managing to be convincing... WAIT, I just looked it up. Filmed in Cape Town, South Africa! Now I get it! Most of them probably ARE faking their American accents. Heee! And they've all chosen different American accents too. It cracks me up! Throws me out of the show somewhat, but cracks me up big time, so I kinda love it!
Is it sad that I am seriously excited that Minion Rush is getting a Jelly Lab level?

It's times like these I take a step back and really look at my smart phone and wonder if it truly makes my life better. And laugh hysterically.

I'm generally not gonna freak out about spoilers when I accidentally read them, but I also don't go looking for them. I find I enjoy shows better when I don't know what's coming and I'm all excited and not sure what to expect.

Sooo could you all try your hardest to indicate if their are spoilers in stuff you're linking to and (if you're really feeling helpful) indicate also whether said spoilers are really big or just "hey Dean's a demon and Sam is sad"-sized? It's your journal, but I'd really appreciate it. I feel like I have already watched enough this evening just in three interviews (that didn't mention spoilers in the entries that embedded them) that I have a pretty good idea of what is happening in the first half of season 10 of SPN. *sad face* My bad for being curious, I guess, but spoiler warnings would be grand as they were all linked here on LJ.

That goes for most shows I watch. Thanks bunches guys! As I said, I'm not angry, but I may avoid a lot of entries right now as spoilers seem rife. Sorry if I miss anything important from you. Feel free to poke me.

...

In annoying real life news, I'm home after a weekend of gastro that I will never speak of again. Any speaking of it would be too much information. Being able to type and read my f-list without my head exploding from the OMG!bright!screen is amaze-balls right now! *hugs computer* Hello world!

These word count trackers are awesome!
There's SPN ones or just fun designs with pirates and stuff. An excel spreadsheet where you can keep track of your word counts. Very handy! :D
Sorry to keep repeating this, but GISHWHES just extended time for sign ups. So if you'd like to join our team, lemme know.

We still have plenty of space (6 spots open) & we plan to have a lot of fun!

Poke me if you'd like to join us! We'd love to have you. ;)

I'd like to buy a small camera. My smart phone is a bit hit and miss with photos and video and that is all I have at the moment.

Basically I'd like something small and reliable and easy to use. Not rocket science. Something I can stick in my pocket or handbag would be ideal. But ones I've had in the post have created fairly grainy photos and video.

Has anyone seen any good reviews or has there been a Choice survey of small cameras recently or do you have one (recently purchased) that is working well?

I won't lie, I want it before GISHWHES begins!

Any help appreciated.
Xx

Hey guys!

There's one more day to sign up to GISHWHES. If you're still looking for a team, feel free to join us. Team name: yeahwooyeah.

Our team is looking to have fun and if we get lots of points then that's a bonus. :)

Currently we have 9 team members (fandom and non-fandom peeps) and a Facebook group for organising. There should also be a Google spread sheet to come as at least one member doesn't have facebook.

Yeah woo yeah! Can't wait!
Go to gishwhes.com to join.

Wow! has anyone looked at the #AskSupernatural tag on Twitter? It's all vent, vent, Cas/Dean vent, vent... rinse & repeat. The some idiots who can't type actual sentences so I don't know what they're even asking. Ugh Twitter. I would not like to be the poor intern who has to go through those. They will need alcohol. Much alcohol.

Maybe we should try to flood it with some less vent-y, but useful questions. I totally will when/if I think of any... Nup, nothing is coming except the Impala floodlight question. I'll pop that up anyway.


Today I found a S5 Supernatural Guidebook thingy in a $2 bin! It's the season I'm watching and it has nice glossy pictures of the boys in suits. $2 well-spent.

The SPN rewatch continues - S5

How did I forget about Changing Channels? The ball-crunching Japanese show, the sun glasses at night, Dr Sexy, the Sam!pala! LOL! Love it!

I watched The Real Ghostbusters tonight. I was hoping my reaction would be less squicky this time, but I still had to fast forward a little of it or hide behind the couch. Once the real ghosts appeared I was okay though. Just, I can't stand Becky and them the facts, people! Whereas the earlier fan, with the tattoo on her bottom. She was more fun, less squick.

And next up, I know is Abandon All Hope and I'm going to put that off for a little while, because I can't go to bed on that much angst. *lip wibble* Next time.

Teen Wolf - S4
Psst. I have a secret. I actually don't mind Malia. *hears the sound of people de-friending*
I know why you all hate her and it makes sense and I understand. However, I feel like they are trying to make her like a coyote with a survival-of-the-fittest mentality and maybe it isn't working perfectly, but I think she'll get there as a character. I have always respected that Teen Wolf has such fabulously strong/independent female lead characters and I'm more than willing to give Malia the benefit of the doubt. There, I've said it.

Constantine
Did anyone watch the first episode? What'd you all think? I loved the movie and this looks like another interesting take on the graphic novels. More British. And I must say, there appears to be a lot of crossover potential here. A lot!

I've watched a few other things lately, but nothing that's really caught my fancy. Have you guys discovered any new shows that must be watched? Lemme know, please. ;)
Calling all fandom! To celebrate the SPN Fandom Day of Love, we are hosting a FANDOM LOVE MEME!


[source]


Think about what makes your Supernatural heart tick, and put those reasons out in the open. Let loose, express your love and your glee and your secret SPN-related delights. This means both canon and fandom.

Read more... )

Spread the love, peace out, and pluck those heartstrings! (Click on the link to head to the party. :P) ♥

To my SPN friends new and old: I love that I've jumped back into this fandom I haven't been a real part of since Season 4 or 5 and I've been welcomed back with open arms! <3

Thanks all of you for that. I really do appreciate it. I'm so looking forward to GISHWHES and I'm writing fic again and emoting over things again and (well I'm still re-watching to remember all that's happened since I was last fannish, but as I catch up) just thanks for letting me into your world without prejudice. You're all awesome! :D

A list of SPN episodes and the places the characters visit in each episode (as in where they are in America) for Season 1 though 3.

Does such a thing exist? Supernatural Wiki is a bit of a mystery to me, I'm sure I found something like this on there once, but now... not so much.

Are they any good?

I never really thought to pick one up before, but since I'm doing a rewatch, I was thinking I could read them as I rewatch. I read all the XFiles novels back in the day and the Primeval novels were action-packed. But I never read fan fiction for those shows.

So now that my Kindle is finally working again, is it worth buying any of them, or would I be better off just downloading more fanfic off A03? Are some much better than others? Do they really fit into canon? If they're even half decent I'll likely give them a go.

Thoughts welcome from anyone who has read them and has any opinion on them. No spoilers though, please. :D

On Amazon.com - Apprently there is now an Amazon.com.au. SHIT!

Quote from Amazon )

Now I haven't purchased anything from Amazon.de, but can they really do that? I mean this is stuff people have PAID for. This is where hard copy is so much better. They can't revoke your access to a paperback, just because they want more money.

I bet these ebooks are at least twice the price too. F-ing Australia Tax -- the term we use to describe the fact that all electronic goods, though purchased form the same site on the net as Americans use, will cost us up to 10x (I kid you not) more than if we had an American IP address. *GAH!*

THE DAYS:
1. Something old
2. Something new - talk about a new fanwork of yours!
3. Something you made for someone else
4. Something you made just for yourself
5. Something for a large fandom/pairing/character
6. Something for a small fandom/pairing/character
7. Something you're just really proud of

Something for a large fandom/pairing/character. Um, all the SPN or SGA stuff ever. Ha! Also Sherlock is pretty large as a fandom, right.

So how about:
The time I went a bit bonkers and decided to rap about another fan's artwork. <--- I really did. It's a thing. :P

And then she made it into a vid, but I'm not sure if it's available any more. Anyway, it was fun! So, not sure this is actually a recommendation, but it is different, so I'll go with that.

And thus ends my out-of-order self-promotion meme that took way longer than a week for me to post. I stuck with audio-visual stuff, but feel free to check out my fic too, just follow the links in the sidebar. (How's that for self promotion?) ;)

6. Something for a small fandom/pairing/character
7. Something you're just really proud of

So, everything I have is pretty old and I was having trouble deciding what to post, but this is one of my favourites (I'm allowed to have faves of my own stuff, right?) from when I was in the Stargate Atlantis fandom. It was posted back in 2006, when LJ first brought in the ability to embed Youtube videos and it gave me this whackadoodle idea to write a commentary for the episode Sateda from the Wraith perspective. Hunting is a sport after all and Ronon was the one that got away. Warnings for bad puns in the advertisements.

Sateda - A different kind of Commentary <--- Please click to check it out. Kinda hard to repost.

Characters: Wraith Commentators et al.
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Rating: PG, crack!fic and vids
Spoilers: Totally spoils Sateda (3x4)
Summary: Well, it’s a sunny day here on Sateda, and we’re reporting to you live from the Hive ship orbiting the planet. Conditions here are absolutely perfect for the hunt today.
Holy crap, I'm writing again! O_O

Title: Howl at that moon.
Author: Starrylizard
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating/genre: gen, PG, episode tag
Word count: 293
Notes: Takes place directly after the S9 finale (so spoilers for that). Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] yasminke for the quick beta. :D
Summary: Dean reaches for the new power inside him.



“Dean?” it whimpers. )
