Science fiction con this weekend. On Friday I was all bummed and scorned because of the day's fan fiction panel discussion that I was participating? The organizers had failed to get a director for the panel, and apparently had also failed to tell us participants about it, so it was either stand there like morons or just run the show by myself, interviewing the others. I sounded like I was on speed. Winging it is not my style.

The Saturday, however, went fine. I listened some excellent numbers, shopped (I hadn't known that Lois McMaster Bujold is now published to Finnish, yay!) and did my own program, again about fan fiction, with sua_lay and other friends. This time we were prepared. Especially our presentation "Ten years of Slash" was liked.

Still purging my FOB fic folder...

Fic: Fetish Model AU
Author: Emmuzka
Genre and pairing: FOB, Pete/Patrick
Raiting: PG
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: Not true in any way.
Summary: Fetishes are seldom your run of the mill, catering-for-everyone generic stuff, no. Everyone has their specific tastes. It's not only about boots, or lolita dresses. Maybe it's blondes wearing lolita dresses, or blond underweight girls wearing the dresses, or blond boys, or black-haired, tattooed boys wearing girls' dresses and sucking thumb. According to Pete, everyone has something that is absolutely perfect for them. If they don't, they just haven't found it yet.

A minute ago linzeestyle made me realize that as a fandom, American Idol S8 will be a summer fling. Summer will turn to fall, people will start their own solo careers, and AI Season 9 will take the place where the canon should be. Granted, popslash continued *years* without actual canon, but I highly doubt pairings like Kradam lasting that long.

Doesn't stop me from loving this any less. As a matter of fact, AI 8 is another perfect example of fans mixing effortlessly fan fiction-fangirling and "regular" fangirling. I think that started with bandom? There is no more (except when there is) different, "real life" fans with their different, separate forums and communities, but it's all mixed up now.

Anyhow. I love this guy, and when/if the fandom fades, I will continue to love him, because they guy just shines. And, you know. Just look as him:

Had a nice night with tvillingar and sua_lay, although I was tired as hell at the beginning and therefore acted bitchy. So sorry about that!

Our pajama party consisted mainly of shoveling rabid plot bunnies out of the way. Our most important discussions handled the subjects like what kind of porn the Idols would have in their laptops (Kris would have hotel-grade vanilla, Adam would have loving vanilla twink sex sprinkled with 70s German leather porn, Anoop would have frat-boy squick kink porn for out-grossing contests, Allison would have no porn because her mom would find out, and Lil would have no porn because her husband would be enough to satisfy her, thank you very much.)

Also in bunnies: Old romanian curses, Deliverance-banjos, YouTube, yappy dogs and what would it take for one to sacrifice himself for another.

Good times. Let's do it again in a week, in the largest science fiction convention in Finland.

So, it was glambert_fic that has all its comments screened, not kradam_ai.

A moment ago I commented to this probably unauthorized try-out to fish from Isolde13's pool:

To who Adam explains this? If Adam addresses straight the reader, that is an interesting, if not a highly old fashioned writing method.

Personally, I'm not receiving the emotional impact from this what should be required concerning this being a slave fic. If we take this tidbit as a part of Isolde's continuum (Did you ask her permission, by the way?), Adam appears strong and unbreakable, when in reality, he is already flawed underneath his shell. Maybe you could have explored more in this text that the strong-thing Adam explains to the reader is actually only his outer shell.

Opinions? Is my comment against the community's rule about being courteous? Because if my comment won't be unscreened, I'm done with this community.

Huh. I noticed that I still have fics left unpublished from my anon_lovefest spree in the winter. Here is one.

Fic: Untitled / Foster child!Patrick
Author: Emmuzka
Genre and pairing: FOB, Pete/Patrick
Raiting: R
Warnings: AU, dub-con issues
Disclaimer: Not true in any way.
Summary: "Okay, Pete." His mom sounds now falsely calm, like there might be other people in the same room. Or maybe its for Pete's sake. "What did you do, Pete?"

( Foster child!Patrick )

My love-hate relationship with kradam_ai continues: What were the odds that a discussion opening about how most of the Kradam fics are kept in this self-imposed strict, non-varying genre, was actually about a reader asking people to cater her own kink needs?

Um, hello? You can't come in to complain that the fics are boring if you are not ready to do something about it yourself. Write, or make up a challenge, inspire a kink discussion, something, but please don't go there asking after your particular wishes without even bothering to comment back to your comments. It's not your personal story-finders.

Title: Visit
Author: Emmuzka
Pairing: Adam/Kris
Rating: PG
Warning: References to off-screen nonconsensual sex.
Summary: Adam was now steadily picking his nail polish off, his signature stress effect. “Until five months ago, I was happily Single, no kids!" That came out a bit hysterically.
Notes: Betaed by lovely sua_lay, who had the guts to ridicule the first version of this fic.

kradam_ai has turned on moderation on all comments. Without explanation or informing the community members about it. EDIT: They did not turn on moderation, but some posters turned it on themselves. Without informing about it in their entries, of course...

With the community quality like this (and that was a moderated post!), I think that it is time to leave, end my self-set obligation to link all new fics to Delicious, and just start reading yeats' AI recs. Or something. I might be too emotionally attached to do that yet, but I'm getting close.

Okay, I need a some kind of handbook on search engine optimizing, mainly Google optimizing, with hands-on examples. A Google optimizing for Dummies -kind of deal.

Suggestions? Availability and price are not an issue in this case.

Kris Allen birthday video project, that ontd_ai put together (credits at the end):



I'm there like for a half a second, my word is "no", so I'm not lingering there :)

Spent the weekend with sua_lay making our Finncon performances and watching American Idol. Developed about a million fic bunnies, including wishes and yappy little dogs.

Anyway. We had this running joke that I would be getting a Danny Gokey tattoo (!!) so of cource i had to draw it. I was supposed to add "Okey Dokey Gokey" in it but I forgot. But it's super crappy even without, so mission accoplished. ;) Here it is, be prepared!

A possible dystopic LJ future: In the future Germany it might be that a singe anonymous person's decision to censor one LJ entry could block the entire LJ from use in the country.

Adding that there is now a court example in Finland according to which the Finnish censorship decision can not be appealed, this is very very worrying.

twindouble could you explore the German articles for me? I would like to add something about this in the future section of my "Ten years of slash" presentation in Finncon.

( This is what Helsingin Sanomat, Finland's leading newspaper, writes about the censorship decision (In Finnish) )

Homina! (Click for a gif) He manages, in pretty much the same time, to adjust his hips (guh!) and be afraid of the snake (squee!) You can see the videos here. And how hilarious is that that CNN is covering this?

On the other things... I think that it is my destiny to be eventually banned from kradam_ai for not being in the same wagon with everyone else, but what the fuck?

Fan fiction community is not a fucking writing class! It's not a spelling contest where everyone will get a golden star for participating! (On her behalf I can say that the author is actually fourteen.)

Fannish squee ahead! Beware!

Got a link to This American Idol fic site and registered to read. The whole place felt pretty odd to me. Took me about five minutes to notice that hey, all the fic was het! No wonder then ;)

I have almost completely abandoned ohnotheydidnt in favor of ontd_ai. ONTD is about snark and hatin'. ontd_ai is about snark and lovin'. I'm tired of hating, I want giddy love all the time, thanks.

During the last few weeks, there has been many friend-listers writing how they were actually loving this Adam Lambert-stuff. Welcome to the bandwagon! Here, have some fic. (Also, working on two of my own at the moment.)

Guess who wrote her first fan letter ever? Guess two times to who? :D

Ended up with a more-or-less deep conversation with a kind-of-a-relative. The kind-of-a-relative was really interested about the relationship between fan fiction on person's fantasies, and wether or not fan fiction fantasies worked as a substitute to a life that the fan fic-user couldn't or wouldn't live in real life. Oh, and she also wanted links to my works. Which I provided. *crosses fingers*.

Here, have a picture:

Went to see Anastacia's concert last night. A friend had received free tickets in a 24 hour notice, and or course I was in, no matter that I didn't have a clue of her new album or anything. The show was nice, although their decision to show her music videos during wardrobe quick changes was strange. The audience was like, uh, who's singing?

The arena was nowhere even near full, but she still delivered with grace. Also, one of the back up dancer routines was a "bath scene", meaning a gorgeous man with nothing but wet underwear on, performing something that looked like a cross between olympic-level gymnastics and pole dancing.

All and all nice, especially when we ditched the warm-up singer and drank lots of dry cider instead. I got a chance to explain the deeper meanings of fan fiction in connection to fantasies to the friend :) Musically, the most intriguing song however was this strange disco version of "Whole Lotta Love" that they played in speakers before the concert. Anyone has it? Care to share?
