You can tell the new British Leaders are super gay for each other because the press said so, and I believe everything I read. If by read you mean interpret pictures placed next to headlines.



Plus Clegg/Cameron sounds like a tag I might find on the internet, digging for new Real Politician Slash. They're not bad looking. Maybe I should do more research into this new fandom, see what I can dig up for fic ideas. Does it count as an entry for remix-redux if I base it all on newspaper articles? No?

Fine. I'll have to get a real journalist to enter with me. I can remix their article and they can remix my fic into an article. It'll be brilliant.

New fandom alert, everyone! Even though we're only three episodes into the HBO miniseries The Pacific, it's already got a kink meme, a friending meme, and a Fuck Yeah tumblr up and running, which clearly means it's arrived.

The Pacific follows in the grand tradition of war fandoms like Generation Kill, the equally excellent (EVEN THOUGH I CAN NEVER GET ANYONE TO WATCH IT WITH ME) Band of Brothers, and, even further back in the annals of fandom before HBO created decent original programming, Tour of Duty. (Anyone remember that one? No?)

Whether it's the epic historical sweep of the narrative or the tons of men being heroic with nary a vagina in sight, there's no denying these kinds of shows lend themselves well to smart, reliable, if smaller fandoms.

Are you watching? What do you think of The Pacific so far? Who's going to be the next Winters/Nixon or Brad/Nate?
