What my Flist can Do For Me

[bantha_fodder]

Some Things (Not A Rant):


1. When I first stumbled onto the internets, lo some ten years ago, I found a picture of Beaker (the Muppet) as the main image in "The Scream." You know the painting I'm talking about. Now, I can no longer find this picture, and I can't find the copy I printed out. Internets, FIND ME THIS PICTURE.
   
   
2. I was watching this awesome, stubborn, ice skating display this morning, and the following things occured because of it: I was late for archery; I was enthusiastic about archery; I thought, damn, I wish I knew how to iceskate, and I was sad because I've not watched any of the Olympics this time. So YOU, dear internets, should feel free to give me links to your favourite moments (so far) from these Olympics. And also, someone tell me how I can get something that is streaming (ie, Zhang and Zhang), and have it downloadable onto my computer.
   
   
3. I will do the fake titles meme, on the understanding that they might possibly become real fic one day. So, give me the title of a fic I never wrote, and I shall tell you how it goes. Fandom, pairing etc non-compulsory but preferred.
   
   
4. And FINALLY. Fandom, you cheer me so, with your anonymous "constructive criticism" memes, so I am going to open up a criticism meme right now. Comment here with your name if you would like concrit, and I (or other people, if they would like to participate), will give you constructive criticism WITHOUT USING THE ANONYMOUS FUNCTION. Do you know how successful this will be? Not successful at all, because fandom likes bitching behind their computers. OH LOOK THIS BECAME ANOTHER RANT.

I would love to see that picture of Beaker, as well.

Comment here with your name if you would like concrit

I volunteer! I've really appreciated the concrit you've given me in the past, so. All my fic is indexed here.

3. The Peculiar and Implausible Encounter of Misses Cho Chang, Professional Ex-Girlfriend, and Susan Pevensie, Spinster For Life

4. I would like nonymous concrit. My fic tag is here and my longer fics are separated out here.

3. Ahaha, now how the tables are turned.

"The Sunday After", Karl/Miranda. Feed ME, yo. *G*
(Or maybe "Really Rather Not", Narnia, Susan-fic.)

4. *waves both hands* Dude, who doesn't want concrit? No, seriously. *perplexed*

Ooh, that one was easy. I just went to Yahoo and searched in images for "beaker scream". Dunno if this is the one you have in mind, but here you go:

oh god, the Zhang and Zhang thing just...TEARS!

I uploaded the Beaker scream to my server, as the link above didn't allow remote linking:

http://youshouldbethere.net/images/beaker_scream.gif

and I will ask my techie friend about how to save streaming video to the hd, but as a stopgap measure, if you are interested in looking at this website:http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/

also, the imaginary fic about Cho Chang, professional Ex Girlfriend and Susan Pevensie, Spinster Extraordinaire, really must come into being.

I just read The Last Battle for the first time, and OMG. HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT?

Fake title: From innocent admiration to overwhelming passion to tormenting heartache to bitter jealousy. (because I dig long, over-done titles)

Fandom: SVU. Pairing: Elliot/Olivia (who else?)

Fake Title (taken from things I see around me):Plus Kittens and Cats, fandom Firefly pairing Gen

3. "Days of Wine and Roses".
4. DO ME! OMG DO ME! Rough-and-still-unfinished website's fiction section here.

3. Hardwire. BSG

4. omg pick me. That's the one thing I hate about LJ- it's pretty much impossible to get decent criticism anywheres.

ps: can I link this post for the concrit meme thing?
