  • Were you a Firefly fan when the show actually aired? Were you still in the fandom when Serenity came out? If so, I need to pick your brain, fairly briefly, about fan reactions to Wash's death, because I need to know sorta what went on in the fandom as support or a counterpoint to an abstract I'm working up. Comment below if I can bug you on this. Thanks. Okay, I think I'm covered, but if you volunteered I may be PM'ing you at a later date.

  • Are you going to be at Dragon*Con? Do you still need to get a copy of The Book of Harry Potter Trifles, Trivias and Particularities? If so, let me know. $12 each, payable there or via Paypal before the con. I will inscribe it awesomely, of course. I will not have extra copies with me, so if you want one, you need to let me know. YAY.

  • These photos are perhaps more of my ordinary life than I typically let people see, in that I am not at my best, even remotely. However:





  • I feel pretty awful today in terms of period/headache/cramps/pain.

  • Work.

    That suit is stellar.

    You can pick my brain. :) Watched the show and saw the movie on DVD as soon as it came out.

    Ooooh, you're so gorgeous/handsome!

    I love that tie and the head band, pearls and shoes are too good.

    Will not be at Dragon*Con much to my disappointment.

    I find it vaguely unfair that you look better in a suit than I do. Then again, you look better in a dress than I would as well so I guess I shouldn't be too upset. ;-)

    I was a Firefly fan back in the day and was still in the fandom when Serenity was shown. Pick away.

    Both elegant and rakish. No sign of foundation garment photo fail, either.

    Yes to the first two questions. It's safe to say that Wash's death -- as well as the overall craptastic movie surrounding it -- is the reason I'm a Firefly fan, but not a Serenity one.

    My initial thoughts are here.

    Yes to the first two -- and I am a fan of the film as well as the series.

    early fan, and still such.

    I'd love the book, but will not be at Dragon*Con. :(

    I've just plagued many many people, but maybe have a follow-up question for you depending on what they tell me. Thank you for volunteering.

    Meanwhile, remind me re: book next time we're likely to run into each other, as that actually manages to happen from time to time!

    Y'know, if you could date yourself...you'd be a gorgeous couple! LOL. I love both looks, for entirely different reasons.

    From: [identity profile] 51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com
    Me too!

    I sort of want to see a photoshopped picture of both looks together. That would be an awesome journal header! :D

    Duality and stuff. Plus, it would just be kind of awesome.

    I'm in. In fact, I was part of a private Buffy-centered (later Whedon-centered) board at this date. I let the kids stay up for the midnight fan-only premiere screening; they considered this an enormous treat.

    Dude, I loved Serenity. Also watched the show when it first aired and liked it, and have the DVDs. We went to see Serenity the day after I got back from Katrina work and I managed to stay awake for the whole thing (this was a big accomplishment as I basically slept for four straight days). Although I was not one whit involved w/ an online fandom for it, so maybe I don't fit.

    I like both the dress and the suit! Awesomesauce!

    my god. both of those looks are amazing on you!!!!!!!

    I will be at D*C (most likely in one of too many costume) - I hope I run into you - would it be creepy or stalkery to see if I can swing by your panel on HP?

    Date: 2009-08-24 03:37 pm (UTC)
    From: [identity profile] rm.livejournal.com
    Not at all. I love to see folks and could use all the support I can get for my HP thing, as academic presentation = scaaaaaaaaaaaaary. Also, that panel is one of the few where (I think, I won't be sure until the pocket program comes out) that I don't immediately have to run to the other side of the con right after to do something else. And thank you!

    I was heavily involved in the fic-writing side of Firefly fandom from January 2003 onward, and have... not exactly glowing thigns to say about "Serenity" (I saw both a preview screening, and saw it in theatres several times and he movie signalled the end of my Firefly fan-writing).

    Since you mentioned Dragon*Con, would it be ok if I introduced myself after one of your panels? I don't remember which it was now, but there was at least one I hope to attend.

    Date: 2009-08-24 03:39 pm (UTC)
    From: [identity profile] rm.livejournal.com
    Absolutely! I'll be posting my final schedule when it comes out on Wednesday, and I'll also note which ones I have time before or after, as I'm scheduled very tightly in a few places.

    Both the suit and dress are fabulous, but really, it has a lot to do with the person wearing them both.

    As far as Firefly, I'm an original fan - feel free to pick my brains (I think I have enough left), if you need more info.

    Oh man, that moment in Serenity. Now if we want to talk about a show's creator being cruel and screwing with his fans, Wash dying could be construed as that.

    Dress looks amazing on you, suit looks incredible. Total elegance in either guise.

    From: [identity profile] thaddeusfavour.livejournal.com
    I love both looks! Dress = awesome, Suit = fantastic! I may lean slightly in favor of the suit, but then I've never been much for dresses myself. :P

    I'm hoping to see you at Dragon*Con. And everyone else too, if we can manage it.

    Date: 2009-08-24 04:09 pm (UTC)
    From: [identity profile] rm.livejournal.com
    I am more partial to the suit too. I feel a bit like I'm in drag in dresses, but that's okay! It's fun to dance in though, very Ginger Rogers.

    And yes, Dragon*Con. There will totally be meetings of our Torchwood peoples.

    I love both the dress and the suit. You look smashing!

    re: Firefly - alas, was not a fan until *after* Serenity was released and thus knew about Wash's death before I gave a crap about it...

    I am loving that dress. Are you wearing a headband? That's fricking adorable.

    Date: 2009-08-24 04:25 pm (UTC)
    From: [identity profile] rm.livejournal.com
    A pearl headband, because I had to do something to soften up my hair that's too soft right now anyway.
