I make fun of badfic here a lot, FG fans, and don't worry, there's a delicious post coming up soon, but there are other things that make me de-friend journals, skip over fic, and generally run in the opposite direction to get away from someone on Livejournal or Dreamwidth. You know what I'm talking about. Those people who don't seem to understand the basics of interacting online, or that they extend to formatting.

( Like people who don't use cut tags, or bother to learn how. )

With internet etiquette my rule of thumb is if someone else posted this, would I want to read it? If the answer is no, then I erase everything.

Don't be a dick: make it easy on people to read and find your stuff.

PS: Please use lube in your story. Please. No lube = deal breaker.

Tell us your Livejournal/Dreamwidth pet peeves! There are so many, and I know we've missed load of them.

Rest assured, Fangasmic fans, that someone here at FG has been working hard on making an epic post about how amazing the new BBC series Sherlock is. That's not what this post is about, though. No, while she's been slaving away over a hot laptop the rest of us have been obsessively watching, reading, and scanning the internet for new Sherlock fannish contributions and loving every second of it.

Sorry, maybe every other second of it, because there's a fair amount of WTFery in any given fandom, and while Sherlock is young it's certainly not immune.

( Shut up, you know you love this kind of shadenfreude. )

There you go, fandom. Terrible things for your Wednesday night / Thursday morning. I'm sure you really love me right now.

ETA 1: Two seconds after I made this post someone else posted fic about Lestrade in an abusive gay relationship and Sherlock and John save him by making their thing a threesome with him. Thanks, Sherlock kink meme.

ETA 2: WHY. These are Benedict's actual shoes that he actually owns. They are so sparkly even Zachary Quinto might worry about wearing them. Meanwhile here, wearing offscreen chucks or something similar he looks not only human, but attractive and not crazy. Just sayin'.

Okay, own up. Which one of you is this?

Leave it to SyFy (Seriously, does anyone else think their new name looks like either an erectile dysfunction medicine or space herpes?) to come up with what could be the made-for-tv movie of the year. Not since Thoughtcrimes have we been so excited for a TV movie. Don't believe me? Here, check out this absolutely amazing(ly bad) trailer:

Is it so bad it's good or so bad it's just bad? It's hard for me to be objective. On the one hand, it can walk on it's tentacles and kill some bikini-clad ladies to death. On the other--

No wait. It can kill bikini-clad ladies to death. Sometimes when they are bungee-jumping. I think we have a winner. Also, Sharktopus. Seriously.

Remember how horrified we were to discover that for some reason they were making another season of Eureka? Even though Nathan wouldn't be in it? Sadly, the first episode of the new season has aired, and even sadder, I was elected to recap this thing. So here we go, spoilers ahoy, readers. I can't promise this will hurt you more than it hurt me.

( Fargo/SARAH is... THE TERMINATOR. Also this recap is NC17 and NSFW. )

There you have it, people. 19 steps to writing a terrible episode of Eureka, as if most episodes weren't already terrible.

Believe me, I've been trying.

So, like most people who watch a lot of Cold Case Files and Forensic Files and just like Files, I've been anxiously awaiting the return of Bones, on April 1.

Which is why I was giddy as a school girl upon getting linked to some clips from the episode, "The Bones on the Blue Line". And then I spent the next few moments going "double u tee eff".

( Today's cut brought to you by someone who googles twice, links once. )
