Just to say:

Seeing as it's all over the anon meme and all over fandom_wank:

Yes, as was posted publically, I was a member of teh_commune. Yes, it was a private community. Yes, it consisted of like-minded people having a laugh. We didn't sit around and think of ways to oppress fandom. Neither did we think up characters of the week. (If we had, it would have been Nyssa every week just to keep nostalgia_lj happy.) We didn't really do anything but sit around and write Four/George Bush porn. Well, not porn exactly but there were tentacles involved.

And hey, as mireille719 already said: if this was a cabal of fandom BNFs - why the hell was I invited, huh?

And that's all I'm going to say about it. I've actually wasted my limited internet access reading through the wank rather than squeeing about yesterday, which was the best day that anyone has ever had, ever. More on that in a bit.

Tsk. Now I'm going to have to read fandom_wank to find out what this post means. That's my evening gone... [g]

[flickgc.livejournal.com]

Ooh! You have a Vox theme on your LJ! Now that's going to get confusing....

[flickgc.livejournal.com]

My evening is saved! That's a really crap wank. Bah. You probably *were* exchanging cooking tips on there.

Must Try Harder, Raven!

*blushes* Sorry, dear. Next time I'll plagiarise everyone I can think of and then demand my fangirls buy me an iPod.

I quite like the Vox layout! I like the clean lines of it.

And hey, while I'm here, how are the wedding plans going? I haven't been able to catch up on my flist properly since I got here.

[flickgc.livejournal.com]

That's more like it! And if you could just see about faking either a trip to hospital, expensive surgery for a beloved pet that you found in the street a week ago and so haven't mentioned before, or a small natural disaster, eh?

Not too bad ont he wedding planning front: just bitty stuff to do now, like the place cards. And I have THE FROCK! It's hanging up int he spare room and it is soooooooo fabulous!

In fact, 'scuse me while I go and stare at it for five minutes....

[foreverdirt.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Exactly my reaction.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad not everyone in the world knows about it. It certainly feels like it!

[emily-shore.livejournal.com]

People, as ever, are being ridiculous...

And not one mention of DocSoc! Hmm, I guess one secret cabal is still secret. ;)

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Sadly so. So secret that we advertise at the freshers' fair. *g*

[gamesiplay.livejournal.com]

God, you secretive polite Brits, WHY MUST YOU RUIN ALL THINGS? It was all sunshine and cornfields before you came!

Which is to say, if you're part of the BNF cabal, it can't be evil; and also, more importantly, yes, best day ever. It must happen again. Meredith suggested that one of us make it big and become rich, so that such visits can be commonplace.

My apartment is covered in confetti. We miss you.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

But but but we are all going to be POOR. Over-educated and still poor. And aha, yes, we ruin all things. But unlike you Yanks, we do not wish to take over the world through the medium of overpriced coffee.

I miss you both. I miss you a huge massive big enormous lot.

[chains-of-irony.livejournal.com]

Aw, poor Iona. Then again, you could always feel flattered about being a 'suspected BNF.' I would. I mean, not just a BNF but a suspected one.

Enjoy Indiana anyway, these people don't matter even one bit.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Thank you. This is my closest approach to BNFdom. I'm actually quite proud of this fact.

[that_mireille]

I think I'm going to start calling myself an "alleged BNF." You know, like they say on the news about people who haven't actually been convicted of things: "alleged terrorist," "alleged bank robber," etc. ;)

Also, am sad that Evil Mind Control plans did not succeed in making all fandom see that Mickey was in love with the tenth Doctor, because he so was, OMG that would have been Evil.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Mir, you big nasty BNF, you oppress me. I am oppressed in your presence. WOE PAIN ANGST, etc.

[that_mireille]

That's me. Evil. And oppressive. And something.

The last fic I wrote in this fandom was, like, Master/Nyssa. Which group am I oppressing? *g*

[jacinthsong.livejournal.com]

I swear if I hear the word 'oppress' used seriously about Doctor Who fandom again someone will get internet-stabbed. Honestly. Okay, I make no contribution and just lurk a bit reading fic, and cannot for the life of me fathom why a bunch of friends/associates making a private community to chat in (so, the same as a group IM chat, but archived and more visible for mice to find, then?) is such a sin, but nothing that revolves around an alien in a blue box is that serious.

Fandom is fucking funny (http://web.archive.org/web/20021207105556/http://rosiesamfrodo.com/~fiff/why.html). Man, I wish people remembered that more often.

Help! Help! I'm being opressed!

Ooo, there's wank all over my f-list today! I feel vaguely sad that I have no idea what it's all about. I shall now have to investigate...
