yes, virginia, there is still joy in mudville

Huge thanks to everyone who was nice about my freak out Wednesday night-Thursday morning, especially dreamerren, locumtenens, honestys_easy, lillijulianne, heidi8 and ali_wildgoose for talking me down in chat (yes, that post was after the talking down) and locumtenens and lillijulianne for their posts, and everyone who commented for being awesome.

Did you know, by the way, that there's a wank going on in Taylor Hicks fandom? Did you know that there even was a Taylor Hicks fandom?

So what am I happy about?

1. The British TV that bhanesidhe has been hooking me up with—more on that later.
   
2. I'm not that woman in the center of the SPN wank who, blah blah I hate slash blah blah whatever, but also whined about how she wasn't getting any comments on the latest chapter of her story, when she had 23 reviews.
   
3. fandomsecrets, to which I am completely addicted. I made my first comment to a post there today, and I feel like I've lost some kind of virginity.
   
4. According to Best Week Ever, the Television Academy has announced a new Emmy category, Outstanding Host for a Reality-Competition Program. Good luck Seacrest!
   
5. Tonight I sat out on my stoop while the sun set, talking to ziggy1278 on the phone while he shopped, and my cat watched me through the window. Pretty excellent evening, I must say.

AHAHAHAHAHAH no, I did not. That was a good laugh, I mean, the concept of a Taylor Hicks fandom :P If ever an American Idol winner was overhyped? Yeah.

I didn't realize there were so many of them or that they were all fighting with each other. I thought all those Taylor fans were like, middle aged men who liked bar bands and didn't buy records.

*huggles*

(And the Taylor Hicks wank...LMAO. It still amuses me to think that he must want to throw the radio at the tv anytime a Daughtry video comes on. That is totally me being snarky...I apologize)

[jlh.livejournal.com]

snark away, man. And I bet he does.

Didn't know ANYONE liked taylor.

Well, at least, not fannish online types who get wanky.

I wish that slash link was still there, as who were people slashing him with?

I'm clicking for Taylor Hicks wank so fast my laptop spun around.....did you get my post with the awesome animation cowboyhd made?!? :O

ETA ohhhhh the slash entry got deleted?!? Who was the pairing?!? Damn it! I recognize ALL the names involved in this wank, which is extra amusing. I was totally a TMSer when I was a Taylor fan, heh. My one and only foray into hetfic was in Taylor fandom, actually. :x

oh, lord, they're wanking over slash? like, someone slashed him and they're all incensed?

i can't say i ever wanted to slash taylor, but nothing annoys me more than the horror over such "defamation." pitiful.

[jlh.livejournal.com]

No, they were wanking over some picture of him on a beach with some chick, whatever, and the slash was just a sideshow. LAME

I know, I want to know that slash pairing too! I don't remember any Taylor slash on idolslash except one very strange story where Ryan invited him over to his house, sucked his cock and sent him on his way, and Taylor had this odd feeling that he'd been used and discarded even though he was the one that got off. There was ChAce, and the RadKar stuff, but no Taylor. Well, except there were a few odd stories of Taylor and Bucky and Chris and Ace I think?

Also, I want to know what het pairing you were writing!

[hearthisvoice.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha...it was an "original character" i.e. Mary Sue-ish? Yeah. Don't judge me. :P

I never finished it, but it had some nice imagery...basically it was Taylor and wife/live-in girlfriend I can't remember, but they were kind of swingers and would have had lots of sex with other hot people, including men/Taylor.

And there *was* Taylor/Elliot. It didn't appeal to me, but it was definitely out there in a decent amount.

Which reminds me, you can keep that Disc of "Black Books" since I got the other one clean and working! (yay!) Some series I keep extra copies of just for such occasions ^_^

That, and I've finished watching/burning your DVD's. See, I marathon on ALL levels!

[jlh.livejournal.com]

You DO! yay!

And thank you! You so awesome, lady!
