An actual fandom post for the first time in forever. Blame Rob Thomas. I can't remember how to do cuts - read at your peril there are some slight spoilers for the VM movie
( Read more... )
Hey hon! I like that the movie is bringing some people back to LJ, even for a little while.
The Amazon deal is actually shitty - I don't know any VM fics that could be there without real editing (save maybe some fluffy stuff from sarah_p) because it has to be PG-13 and meet a whole bunch of other criteria that are appealing to no one I know.
How are you? The first thing I did after watching the movie was rush to log into LJ and couldn't remember my password!
I did look at the list of rules and regs for Amazon and it is a little crazy - only through college, no sex, little violence. How does anything get accepted?
Well, I don't think the idea for VM fic is to ask for the people we know (or knew) who wrote stuff that would be submitted but for younger fans who might want to see their name in print that way. I'm sure there's stuff making its way through, but those wouldn't be stories I'd want to read.
Aww, our viewing party sounds awesome! Can I just say how shocked I was that Logan was in the Navy? Was I supposed to know it before he showed up in the airport, because I was looking at him wondering WTF was going on. But, yes, always wear that. Jdoh got skinny, though, huh? And Mac's hair was awesome. Nice resurrection after dying in the basement of that hospital in Seattle, huh? J got me the book that just came out for my birthday. I haven't cracked it yet -- makes me a little nervous, to tell the truth -- but I know I will eventually. Another movie? Maybe. I'm just glad that this one was not a giant disaster. It's so hard to have something compare to memories, you know? And yes, VM fandom as an entry into fandom in general? *raises hand* So sad to know that the recaps (even the recaplets were often enjoyable) will disappear. Nice to see you log on again for a visit!!
I have no idea why he showed up in dress whites, but he did look snappy. Incredibly thin, but snappy. I think Mac had an awesome resurrection and looked amazing!
I have the book on reserve at the library and hope to get it next month. It is nice to know that if there aren't more movies, then at least there will be more stories.
And I totally get about comparing to memories, which I think is why I was so pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did.
You are the only one I ever comment on any longer and I have been so far behind on those I forgot my password! Jesh, real life is a killer to fandom!
Oh Maria, I love this post so much (almost as much as the fact that you've time to actually write and post it). Veronica Mars was such a big part of our lives, wasn't it (though I can barely remember). Has it really been a decade since we first met online? I never thought our friendship would move offline and would endure beyond TV, fandoms, LJ, etc. If nothing else, thanks for VM for that

I'm glad you liked my post. it felt self indulgent, but I kind of had to do it because VM fandom was such a huge part of my life and the movie brought that all back for me

With recent rumors of a LiveJournal purge of old journals I'm looking to move All Fall Down over to AO3. We can post as a joint author fic or I can post chapters with credit in author's notes. Please let me know how much you'd like to be involved with the process. Also, if you've kept in touch with some of the authors, please let them know my plans.
