Oz frenzy again...

[castalie]

The "Oz" fandom is definitely welcoming! My new listsibs are just so nice, and helpful and enthusiastic... I already got several offers to get some episodes, on tapes or CDs. How nice is that, I'm asking you *g* I won't forget the very first offer though. I'm always baffled by other people's generosity toward virtual strangers *g*

I also was given the URL of a site where I found transcripts, and I have now in my possession the whole show minus four episodes. I mean, how cool is that? Granted, it's not the real thing, but transcripts are a step closer to the stories, the characters, in some way a step closer to the the spirit of the show, know what I mean? My imagination is working like crazy with each new line I'm reading, this is *brilliant*!

And speaking of what is said in "Oz", how can I resist a show where I can find a combination of dialogs like this :

(From "The Tip")

Robson: Hey, c'mon, wake up. Get up for a second.
Beecher: No.
Robson: C'mon.
Beecher: Fuck you.
Robson: Suck my cock. C'mon, man, suck my cock. C'mon, suck my cock, prag.
Beecher: Fuck you. (Robson hits him.) All right, all right.
Robson: Get up. Let's go. C'mon, let's go.
Beecher, OK, ok.
Robson: C'mon, bitch

With soliloquy like this (it's Hill speaking, in "Losing your Appeal)

Boy meets girl. Boy gets laid. What makes us want to fuck somebody? Is it the color of their eyes, the shape of their legs, the spike of their heels? Or is what the poets tell us, that there's something deeper. A shared loss, a longing to find someone who knows the depth of our sadness. Some people search their whole lives for that someone. Some find them, some don't. Some fool themselves into believing they're in love. And in Oz, most times, the illusion is better than the reality.

Nice, uh? I'm still making my way through the transcripts, I downloaded them all this afternoon, and I started reading them, but some things, you have to savour *g*

*amused* okay, so apparently you just discovered how to make text scroll on your entries and you decided to test it whenever you can lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

YES, exactly! lol But this time, there was a new parameter... the text was red! lol

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

could you make it glitter? Please?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Glitter... now she wants the thing to glitter!

You greedy girl! And never forget, all that glitters isn't gay! This has nothing to do with anything? And it's not even the real saying? Yeah, your point being?

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

*pouts* I didn't want to make it gay-glitter, I wanted to make it cute-glitter! Geez, you people - you see evil when there's nothing bad! Glitter is cute - glitter is good - glitter is your friend! Please make it glitter!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

OMG, it's over- I won't ever be able to hear the word 'glitter' without thinking slash! My mind is totally perverted *pauses* I know, we all knew that, tell me something new, well, bite me!

Actually *blink* 'glitter' makes me think of 'lube'. What the hell is that?!

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

*blinks* glitter makes you think of lube? Just how perverted are *you*?! I meant star shining kind of thing and you bring out KY!!! Geez, you damn smut slash writers are just awful persons *stick tongues out*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I don't generally post to the TS list, but welcome! It's good to have another familiar voice in the group. :) Also, I have a copy of the book "Behind these walls" by Augustus Hill, that doesn't have a lot of extra info but does have some kick-ass photos. If you want it, just let me know!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the welcome *g* It's right that it's nice to have some familiar voices in the group. It's funny actually since I already knew three people before even joining the group... usually, it's the opposite, I meet people *after* joining. I like it this way, btw lol

Thanks for the offer, as well. I'll keep it mind *g*

Tell me, dear, is either of the characters you're quoting the guy played by Christopher Meloni? If so, which one?

*prepares to visualize the prison-pretties*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Christopher Meloni wasn't either of the characters that I quoted, but it was an exception cos usually I'm always talking about Beecher/Keller, and then he's definitely mentioned *eg*

Meloni plays Christopher (Chris) Keller, Tobias' lover (played by Lee Tergesen). And they're one of the best --if not *the* best, IMHO-- canon m/m couples ever! *worhips at B/K altar*

[creedcascade.livejournal.com]

Oz was my first fandom to read slash in. *sigh* Fond memories. Beecher and Keller where just so fucked up it was wonderful and canon. Although most of the fiction out there tends to AU. Not that is bad, but people like to ignore how it all ended.

Welcome and enjoy!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Wow, you started with one hell of a fandom, then!

Yeah, most of the fics tend to be AU, it's funny when you think of it. My favorites definitely is when they're set in prison, but I'll take Toby and Chris any other way too lol

Thanks for the welcome *g*
