leaving on a jet van

[somedaybitch]

1. transpo to Montana arrives in about 2 hours...if they're black or gray vans with no windows, it's been nice knowing ya'll but Section's finally caught up with me.

i leave you with this amusing bit from a Rusty Davies interview with Metro UK; he's got the right of it. [profanity edited back in because that just drives me batshit]

Do you have a disparaging view of online fandom?

I’m suspicious of any focus group. If the BBC said, ‘we’ve done a focus group of 200 people from Ipswich and asked their opinions’, I’d say: ‘F[uck] off, Ipswich.’ It’s no way to work properly. It’s the same as an online forum, it’s like a focus group. If you worked in advertising and used that as a way of doing your research, your boss would sack you because it’s not representative of the general public. It seems that they’re becoming more powerful, particularly in American sci-fi shows, who seem to imagine those groups are the general public. They are all people of a similar background, similar philosophy and similar take on Dr Who – that’s fandom.

give that man a cigar.

2. the full interview with Rusty is ici.

3. themonkeycabal has posted fic. it's Torchwood/Farscape, Captain Jack Harkness and Commander John Crichton. Hello, Major Tom II is poignant and sweet, funny, no small amount of snarky, and loaded to the gills with simmering testosterone. i have much love. go. shoo.

4. if i can remember how, i'll mobile post from Montana. maybe. :::tries to remember if Section has a substation in Bozeman. starts getting nervous:::
