I'm sure you've seen links to this all over your flist already, but: help_haiti is a fandom auction set up to help support Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake. Basically, people bid to have writers produce fic, or people to make jewelry or any other number of things. The winning bidder shows proof of donation, and gets a wonderful whatever in return.

In my case, I'm offering some fan art. My thread for bids is HERE, should anyone be interested. Five bucks seems to be the general low starting bid, so that's where mine is starting.

So, you probably heard about the Dalek in the Pond.

Now, somebody on LJ has created a whole community for fic based on how it ended up there. How awesome is that?

I've been getting into Psych, and poking around in the fandom a bit. And I'm totally into a particular ship, so I'd been watching a couple YouTube videos of said ship (Shawn/Lassiter aw yeah) when I find video by a real life friend of mine that I've known for years. Then, In looking at some of the other videos, I saw comments by her, including a link to Shawn/Lassiter fanfic she wrote! I knew she was a fan of the show, but I didn't know she did that sort of stuff, so I thought, AWESOME, I shall tell her I am into the fandom. I'd love to have someone in real life I can share fandomey things with. Then this happened:

Dibmonkey (9:09:07 PM): god help me, I am getting into Psych fandom.
Frank2Did5It (9:09:27 PM): o_o
Frank2Did5It (9:09:29 PM): xD
Frank2Did5It (9:09:37 PM): Welcome to my world.
Dibmonkey (9:09:46 PM): lolz
Dibmonkey (9:11:04 PM): i've been watching episodes online. got through season one and working on two now.
Frank2Did5It (9:11:12 PM): Cool.
Frank2Did5It (9:11:16 PM): Season 3 starts soon.
Dibmonkey (9:13:25 PM): yeah. Was reminded that you were a fan when I saw a comment you made on a YouTube video i was watching.
Frank2Did5It (9:13:33 PM): Lawl, really?
Dibmonkey (9:14:04 PM): yes. twas an odd real life meets internets moment.
Frank2Did5It (9:16:07 PM): Heh, neat.
Dibmonkey (9:19:33 PM): haha, so if I dig around, am I going to find embarassing fic you've written? (eh, not that i'd dig around)
Frank2Did5It (9:19:59 PM): I don't think so.
Frank2Did5It (9:20:14 PM): Mostly because I haven't written any fics for Psych.


But you have! You have written smushy, muture-readers-only Shassie fic!

LIAR. LIAR. Pants on FIRE.

The poem I wrote for class today:
____________________

Oh my god.
OH. MY. GOD.
My childhood is ruined
FOREVER.
I have just found
something so
horribibble, so
intrinsically wrong
that it brings a new
and terrible realism
to rule thirty-four.

(#34: "If it exists
there is porn of it.
No exceptions.")

The now ex-friend who
sent the link to the story
must have been half-mad,
high, or sleep deprived.
For who in their right mind
would actually search
for

TETRIS PORN?

I have seen horrible things
in my internets, read questionable
tales wherein the characters
in no way resemble their
original canon characteristics,
hurriedly clicked away from photos
of Snape and Harry dueling boners,
Doctor Who doing who knows what,
...and you probably don't want to know
about Jabba the Hut.

But THIS. This abomination
is beyond comprehension.
Who WROTE this?
What drove them to write about
anthropomorphized L-shaped
Tetris blocks in bondage gear?

I don't think that Joseph Conrad
had Tetris porn in mind
when he wrote:
"The horror! The horror!"
but damn, that's how I feel.

________

The fanfic that inspired this is HERE, if you feel like traumatizing yourself.

Why do you sometimes add exclamation points into the middle of completely!random phrases?

Example: OMG this is so Doctor!love hehe.

It seems to denote excitement of some sort, but why not put the exclamation point at the end where it's supposed to go?
