XF really is one of my main fandoms, seriously.

Okay well, new background - only not at all since it's the same. It's just that now it's covering the whole screen - well, mine at least. Thing is, so far I was still using my old resolution even with the bigger screen because... well, why not? But with the brand new posting interface? The page was stretched all over the place and I had to scroll side to side every two seconds and I just hate that, so it was high time I finally had a good resolution. Problem was, my background wasn't following so I had to have a bigger one and after a mail marathon with babycakesin, it's back in place - don't ask. It's a bit blurred but as Babycakes said 'No it's okay, it looks etheral and romantic' so there lol

New icon too - stacy_l was using it and I just had to have it too, so I tracked down its owner, namely awakencordy et voilà. Because I thought it was a shame I didn't have a single icon from what is, after all, one of my three main fandoms - and because slash considerations apart, Mulder is one of my favourite characters. I always admired his dedication and how he never was afraid of ridicule - he just brushed it off and kept going and going because he believed in what he did. And because I have a thing for smart people.

Since today I decided to stay home, I had myself a little geeky day. I coded the stories for sentinel_thurs's current challenge. Yes, you heard right - so far, all the stories written for Challenge #58 have been coded and sent to my beloved co-mod.

I also revisited the Mulder Torture Anonymous archive for a nice trip down memory lane, and read some of the stories again - so okay technically I have pretty much all of them on discs already, but it felt like old times when I'd just discovered the archive and didn't know where to begin. [/nostalgic] Though I'm lying because I started with A - alphabetical order can be nice when you have too many goodies to chose from lol This archive was the very first XF archive I found when I got into the fandom - pretty interesting archive for a newbie, don't you think? *eg*

After something old, something new. Thanks to babycakesin --yes, her again-- I discovered Weird Al Yankovic and boy his parodies crack me up! YouSendIt is your friend, that's all I have to say *g* Don't forget honey, if you have more, I'm here!

Finally --promise-- so did someone actually like the SV S4 premiere? Because my flist didn't seem exactly thrilled. I know I find this show boring so coming from me it wouldn't have meant a lot, but since my flist is usually in love with it, it surprised me. Also, I'm curious about the premiere --well, official premiere that is lol-- of Lost and CSI: NY - they were apparently as good as people hoped they would be.

Sometimes I wish there a Spoilers Central. A multi-fandom community where people would post all the spoilers you can dream of. I wouldn't have to hunt them down anymore, twould be sweet lol

EEEEEEE!!! Jumps up and down.
Love the Mulder icon.
I'm so shallow.
I don't even know what else you wrote...
le sigh.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I knew you would like it lol

Oh I know the feeling, sometimes an icon will definitely grab your attention and won't let you see anything else - they're such attention ho'!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I love that icon so much *happy sigh*

I really should have one too as I was an Xphile long before learning about online fandom. Mulder, how I love you! Everything you say about him is true.

Mulder Torture. *even happier sigh* That boy suffers so well.

Challenges will be going up soon, I've been busy the last two days finishing an anon story which is a secret but I doubt anyone from the fandom will read this. Well, maybe Josh because he's nosy like that *g*

So yes. Challenges will be uploaded and mine started now I have a sort of semi plate.

The SV people on my flist don't seem thrilled either. But there's another CSI? Man, where will it end?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

The girl has tons of wonderful icons and I even liked her het ones - which is saying something lol Seriously, I'm in love with her style, it's gorgeous. They're all shareable so if you comment on her LJ, I'm sure she'd let you use it too. Unless you want to create your own, of course. Actually, maybe I'll go back to her and request a M/Sk icon because I would love to have one of those *g*

Isn't it incredible how quickly we can update this archive when we decide to really work on it? But I'm happy because C#58 is ready --or will be since we may get new responses tonight-- on the same night that it'll close. A miracle!

Yeap, CSI: New-York, with Gary Sinise who I love, so I'm impatient to see the series grows *g*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

man, you *did* like that etheral thing, didn't you? *giggles*

Very, very nice icon *g*

I'll send you Weird Al songs about once a day - but I should warn you: I don't have that many of them :P

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I did, I did *chuckles*

It was love at first, no kidding. I'm glad it was shareable *g*

Greatness! And no worries, it's better than no WA songs at all *g*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

using a Methos icon? are you trying to kill me? I'm in a bad case of cold turkey over here! *licks Methos icon*

hum... I'm fine... let's pass the awkward moment here, la la la...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You make me want to watch my own tapes. I lent most of them to Sandra, but I still have one or two I think. And when will they release the DVDs in France, anyway? And huh I'm talking about S3 btw - which I'm not even sure exists yet btw.

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

Just one thing to beg: get.revelation6:8.before.October.7th. Please. I'm begging you! (this is my cursed episode that I don't have on tape - very, very important)

My thoughts exactly: when will they release the fucking DVDs?!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

That one, I still have. And don't worry, Sandra doesn't live too far, I would have gone there and rescued my tape anyway *g*

[estrella30.livejournal.com]

I've been hearing the same mixed things about SV myself. I don't watch it personally, but I've seen more negative comments than positive so far today.

I didn't watch CSI - NY (because I'm in the camp of, Dear lord, another CSI???) but I did watch Lost and liked it a lot. It was the first episode, so it was more backstory than action, but I think it should be excellent the longer it's on. (And I was actively looking for people to slash and I think I have a few, so yay! Gotta get those priorities straight *g*)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I just read one positive review - one. I'm curious about what they did in that premiere to disappoint so many die hard fans?

I'll check on CSI:NY as soon as I'll be able to --which isn't saying a lot atm lol-- because I really like Gary Sinise and since I like CSI --no the Miami though-- I'm hoping I'll find an interset in that new series. As for lost, hopefully in several hours, I'll be watching it *crosses fingers*

[wolfwoodglomper.livejournal.com]

Woohoo, Mulder icon! I didn't know you liked X-Files

[castalie.livejournal.com]

It's nice, isn't it? *g*

I was a huge fan of XF, didn't miss an episode - though okay I didn't watch the infamous Sans Mulder season. I plan on buying the box sets once I'll get the money. They haven't aired the show in around a year and a half so I can't watch it right now.

And XF is right next to TS and SG as fandom goes, though I don't mention it as near as much, I'll admit *g*

[wolfwoodglomper.livejournal.com]

Yay, I looooooooooove X-Files. I'm only on season 5; Netflix hasn't sent me season 6 yet. And I think I will watch the season sans Mulder, just 'cuz I want to get the whole story in. I really want to know what happens.

And Mulder and Scully are both YUMMY. Mmm. ^_^

[anglepoiselamp.livejournal.com]

Hee. One always learns something new about people. :D

*is a big ol' soppy X-phile*

*pets the pretty icon*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Hi there fellow X-phile *g*

That girl really has gorgeous icons *nodnod*

Sometimes I wish there a Spoilers Central. A multi-fandom community where people would post all the spoilers you can dream of. I wouldn't have to hunt them down anymore, twould be sweet lol


have you tried http://www.spoilerfix.com/ ?

or there is spoilerfix


and LOVE the mulder icon 8g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

*blink* I should have known such a community would exist lol

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know about it *g*

This icon is having one hell of a success.

[slb44.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmmm! Spoilers central, wouldn't that be lovely?

On the other hand if folks don't label thing properly imagine how much stuff you'd have to wade through in order to find what you were really looking for.

Still, cool idea. *ponders concept*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

A community exists in that spirit - spoilerfix. Though apparently the shows I was thinking about aren't represented this week/yet.

I can imagine the nightmare it would be if the comm rules weren't strictly followed though *shudder*

And hey, ponder away! *g*

[slb44.livejournal.com]

Must check out LJ community. *staggers away in trance like state* Thanks for the pointer. ;-)
