Its a fact. X-Men 3 is going to be a bad movie. *tear*

just kinda got home from work. We close at midnight now!!! wooo! best idea ever!! uhh..no. an extra hour to sit around and twiddle our thumbs. Or listen to Loveline! :) :) well, i didn't miss Bravery on Loveline. but wasn't that big of a deal...since the guests on that show don't ever really do much but mumble a couple things every once in a while.

Rant: Fanfiction: Slashy

I was asked an interesting question today.

Why do so many people want to see Green Day have sex with each other? Or something very similar to that. In other words...why do so many people write slash fanfiction where bands/people/movie stars have sex with each other. Good question. I really tried to come up with a good answer. Its hard to say. Other then I guess a basic fantasy kinda porn thing. because I love Metallica but none of them are very attractive but still something draws me to those guys and I've written some stuff with them. and I've always been a fan of Green Day. Loved them for their music. Just recently started reading and writing fanfiction with them. Why? I don't know. They aren't the most attractive men in the world either. And why take real people and put them unrealistic or just fantasized scenerios? Is it another step in idolization? Is using real people just an easy way to picture written stories? I can't quite explain why these certain "celebrities" draw my attention or why I move past the line of just loving their music and putting them in a fanfic. Its a strange line that gets crossed. Is it too far into "obsession" or is it just another way to express ones self? ehhh.

and another question. Is it an unhealthy line to cross? Or is fanfiction a perfectly legitimate way to excercise creativity or just have some fun? or is it sick and invading into these people's personal space by putting them fictionally in these circumstances.

I don't know. I like fanfiction. I'm a fan. but its a hard question to answer without sounding strange or insane.

/end rant>

I just lost the memory of everything else that's happened today now. so I'll stop. Oh! Katie! thanks for letting me know the time. :) and I don't know how to change the number of ring on the phone.

Reasons to feel happier about X3 (sum real sum not):

- the guy who wrote it also wrote Fantastic Four and Mr. and Mrs. Smith <---winner!

- " "Bryan Singer and Brett Ratner are in that age range who grew up on comics," Ratner said, referring to himself in the third person. "

- "He also said you can expect his X-Men to have an enhanced sense of humor." from le director #3

- "So will Gambit make it to the film? "He is not a major character in the film," says Simon." uh-oh minor gambit action? (simon is the writer by the way)

- "He also confirmed what Tom Rothman told us a few minutes before, that the Dark Phoenix does have a big part in the movie but that there is also a secondary plot that is as thematically rich as any of the past films."

- "So has Brett Ratner's attachment to X3 made much of a difference with the script on hand? Not much according to the writer, Brett has some ideas but is sticking closely to the screenplay. Considering that it starts shooting in a few weeks there isn't many re-writes that could be done anyway."

- oh and not X-Men related but the next comic movie fox is doing after this is Silver Surfer. :)

i hope you learned sumthing from my boredom that i felt like sharing with you. oh and i got all this from or linked from : http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=7715
i thought you'd be interested even if the movie is guna suck...

There are a lot of answers/theories to the reasoning as to why slash and fanfiction are so alluring. I think that fanfiction of books/movies/series is a wonderful way for fans to further their love of the storylines/arcs/development of their characters. But when it comes to REAL PERSON slash (or het), I think the pull comes from the idea that the story is never done. Series end, limits can be met. But with the lives of actual individuals there's a lot of wiggle room (and honestly, Green Day gives me an almost daily excuse to slash the hell out of them). Also, celebrities are living something of a "fantasy" life, which means that some of the extraordinary scenarios seem possible, which is also attractive.

As for it being right, that's a question I ask myself every day. I think that as long as you never take it seriously (because these boys are about as straight as it gets, Billie's bisexuality aside ('cause, HELLO ELEVEN YEARS of MARRIAGE) they will never hook up with each other) and always keep reality separate from fantasy, you're okay. It's a hard line to walk, but that doesn't mean you have to stop writing.

And I'll stop being all long-winded and silly. :D

Please write more Billie/Mike OMG.

thanks. :)

haha. Thank you so much. you put it very well. I was asked the question out of the blue and couldn't come up with an explanation that really defended the writing of fanfiction very well. it was a piss poor argument I made. lol.

I've always looked at it as a way to just kinda have some fun. work on your writing while having some real fun with characters or people that have a story to work with already. and so long as at the end of the day I can realize what I wrote is not true then its alright. haha.

and more billie/mike, I'm definitely working on it. ;)

You know, it's terribly hard for me to be eloquent or even, you know, coherent when someone in the RL brings up my fic, or the act of fanfiction itself if they're not a fellow ficcer (and that's a fucking lot of "f's"). So don't worry. My usual response is, "I don't have to fucking explain myself to you," 'cause I don't.

I think you're being responsible. Honestly, every day I think that maybe I should stop slashing REAL people, but I can't bring myself to stop. It's like, every time I hear a GD song, or watch how close Mike and Tre always stand when there are cameras around, I think to myself "there's a story behind that," and BAM! there we are. Usually I throw the porn in because I'm a perv, which is why I suck at the actual NC17 bits. Sex is usually an afterthought for my writing, which I'm trying to work on.

Think of it this way--what if you found out one of your best friends was writing stories about you having sex with someone you both knew? And don't laugh it off, what if they DID. Does it really matter? No, not really. Still, that doesn't mean that if I ever met Billie or Tre I'd be all, "Dude, I so wrote this fic about you having really hot sex with your bassist," because it IS weird to most people. But fuck other people--do what you want, 'cause you're not hurting anyone.

*throws soapbox in the garbage*

*drools at the idea of billie/mike fic*

I should have just used the "I don't have to fucking explain myself to you,". that's a good one. :)

I kinda have that same thing. I usually only write like "relationships" in my fic and I'll have the entire thing mapped out and written. but at some point in the fic there may be some kind of sexual encounter and I'll stop in thought and my thumbs will tap my keyboard. I'll tell myself "They need sex here or plot makes no sense! Write!" hehe.

You know. you make total sense. Until one of my fics jumps out of the computer and stabs an innocent reader, I'll keep doing what I want. hehe.

*high-fives* Awesome.

And honestly, fic w/o sex is sometimes the best kind. People come to expect sex from fanfiction, as if it's a requirement or something, which I find limiting. However, every story is a love story, yadda yadda, so why not throw in some kinky bondage? :P

lots of info

number 1 told you gambit would be there in some form. thank you katie you rock!!! number 2 i had no idea my question had such effect on you its was just a random thought and 3 i understand what you and rainjewel were talking about (especially about continuation of stories i completely understand that) and agree with most but why do the fics all have to be homosexual or even sexual at all. why cant it just a cool story or idea like i saw one that told a theory on how the cd got "stolen". im not questioning it or saying its wrong i just really want some insight so i understand it better. just to reiterate gambit and katie both rule :)

if they put him in more then a tiny cameo they're probably going to ruin the character. blah! Fuck x-men 3!!!

I just thought it was a decent question. and one that I wasn't happy with the answer I had. I don't have much more of an answer now either...but you know. whatevs. haha.

well, not all the stories are sexual. some are just random little stories for fun. humorous or because the writer thought it was an interesting story. there are plenty of these stories that are great.

I just think a good chunk have sexual tones because well...people are pervy. :) and people find them attractive or what not. some stories are just glorified porn. heh. so you know...if you don't want that...have to weed those out. I like a good mixture of both in my fanfic diet.

you know. whatevs. read at your own risk. but i take no responsibility. if you don't want sex or man/man action then a lot of my fiction will not be for you. I'm pervy, k? my x-men stuff is really the only stuff that isn't at all slash and some of that still has major sexy action. aWWW! I just thought of my favorite story I wrote that I don't have. :( :( no sexy in that one. i need to find it! you're bringing up harsh memories! haha.

but if you read any of my stuff and its not your cup of tea and you mention it...I'll slap ya. I don't wanna be hassled. I write it and that's that. seriously.

I meant all that in a half ass jokey tone. you seemed to take offense.

I know I got that sg-1 fic on my other journal. but its not finished. its just a segment. but its kinda crap and disjointed and dumb. It was the first thing I wrote that wasn't associated with school in over a year. so i want to pretty much rewrite the entire thing. :(

i want to get all my x-men stuff. cause those are pretty good. and most of them are awesome with like plots and stuff! :) :) :) I was just like warning you...cause a couple of my things have a lot of sex...I guess. cause one it makes it interesting. and two...for some reason i made a plot that required the characters get it on!

goddamn! livejournal is not agreeing with my computer right now. gahgagah! sorry.

you happened to come in during the only time we had any phone calls and people walking in. and three stupid drivers clogging up the whole place for no reason. two of them were off the clock. one had been for about half an hour. gah! those guys annoy me.

you might be 6-11. damaris is in at one...and having you two there all day like that is kinda pointless. i have the original schedule and there have been changes.
