Fandom Cake 2010...
Nov. 18th, 2010 09:50 pm Following on from last year's quite remarkable Bug!Slug birthday cake, this year's entrant sets new standards for what you can achieve with a packet of multi-coloured icing (that's frosting to you Yanks!) and a whole lot of patience.
I'm not sure exactly how detailed the photo is, but Cat even managed to sculpt hot dog chunks to put in amongst the macaroni... What she didn't realise (largely because "everything I know about your fandom comes from being your beta!") is that mac 'n' cheese has never actually been in the show, but somehow frequently manages to work its way into my fics. But that just made me love it even more.
So, basically, if you get the joke, thanks for reading ;-)

Date: 2010-11-19 09:15 pm (UTC)Watched half of the Rizzoli & Isles pilot btw. I like it! It's like all the Scully characteristics shoved into two people. But then again I dig Castle, so I'm already hopeless. ;-)
Hee, welcome to the dark side *g* The pilot is probably the best for all-round plotting, it pretty much goes to shit from there (although the lovely ladies remain fabulous fun.) Maura is a mix of Temperance Brennan and a bit of Scully all rolled into one. Jane is, well, just Jane I guess. She's kinda my favourite, she's so butch she's just awesome, which is even funnier given the actress' political proclivities...

Oh please don't tell me she's a Republican???

Date: 2010-11-20 10:03 am (UTC)LOL, you actually managed one more season than I did. I only made it through the first two but I know that Maura and Brennan are certainly on the same wave-length. As for her ears, I've never really been troubled by them but her fringe in this latest season is horrible! (and as you know, it's all about the hair *g*)
Oh please don't tell me she's a Republican???
Put it this way, her and Sarah Palin are probably very good mates.

Are there any place on LJ where people discuss that show then?

Not really. There's a main lj for fic and snips of news and stuff but no real discussion. The funniest posts are the subtext reviews for the eps (cos, seriously, no fucker is watching this for the plot!) http://www.afterellen.com/TV/recaps/rizzoli-and-isles-subtext-recap-four (just poke around on the site and you should find the rest - I blame Dorothy Snarker for getting me into this...)

To name just a couple - there are about 215797346974397697 posted when a new ep airs :-)

Date: 2010-11-26 08:55 am (UTC)I've watched 2 eps sofar. It's cracky, and the acting seems a bit forced in places, so I'm waiting to watch a few more eps to decide whether it's a keeper or a loser.
Thanks for the links. I'll check them out.
