Because a beautiful angsty teenaged vampire boy in love with a sooper-speshul teenaged human girl is such an INCREDIBLY RARE THEME in recent YA anyway that she couldn't just write a proper "original" ripoff? Pffffffffffft.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. she probably could have found an actual publisher and everything! people are making bank on shitty teen vampire/werewolf rip-offs right now.

[violetisblue.livejournal.com]

"she probably could have found an actual publisher and everything!"

Just the other day someone on my flist was complaining about literally half the YA section at her local bookstore being teen vampires angsting about the senior prom, so, yeah. F for effort, lady, really.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

and come on... you know you want me to draw your protangonists... i'll even give you a discount because we're friends.

[violetisblue.livejournal.com]

Well, okay, but I'm holding out for a LOT of maggots.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

oh, i can do that.

[dancesontrains.livejournal.com]

Is this sequel about Laurie being badass in her new leather mask?

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

obviously it will be about rorschach's woobie manpain, and how he finally finds true love which fixes all of his mental and emotional problems.

[dancesontrains.livejournal.com]

This will sell millions and millions of copies! :D Alan Moore will be so happy.

ROFL--I got wind of this windbag today, and I feel like a Very Bad Person for hoping that she actually does get sued so that I can use this as an example in my fall class.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

i don't see how she won't be sued. so your class will be a success!

[fourzoas.livejournal.com]

Hurray! I'm glad I'll be able to make some sort of silk purse out of the sow's ear that is the Twilight series...

[elliptic-eye.livejournal.com]

I feel like a Slightly Bad Person for hoping that she gets sued just so that I can have a legitimate excuse to go buy some popcorn.

[fourzoas.livejournal.com]

Then we'll just have to be Somewhat Bad People together!

[nonelvis]

Now I wish I were actually working on a novel so that you could draw my characters.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

write me that river song/professor yana and i'll provide illustrations. especially if it's young!yana. oh yes.

[violetisblue.livejournal.com]

I had a John Smith/Professor Yana story in mind for some future date when the Booshfic isn't eating my brain, I bet I would have to pay you lots of money to agree to illustrate that. :-D

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

i'd go all holmes and say, "the work is its own reward! ...but i need an advance file of the fic." and then email you saying, "why is there not more porn?"

damn, do you think i could get more people to write the fics i want if i offered to illustrate them? because i would fucking do that. i need more drawing practise incentives anyway.

[elliptic-eye.livejournal.com]

Yes. It seemed to work for tardis_bigbang, which had a much higher completion rate than I would have expected.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

i was tempted to sign up for the artist section of that ficathon, but i really didn't want to end up getting assigned to a story that i didn't like. lame but true. :(

[elliptic-eye.livejournal.com]

Not lame, reasonable. I have no art skillz, but I'd imagine that if I got assigned to illustrate a fic that didn't do it for me, I'd feel all guilty and miserable for turning out… something that showed it didn't do it for me.

Plus the bit about having to read the fic, of course.

[nonelvis]

If you draw Derek Jacobi and Alex Kingston, does that mean we own them? I'll have to make up the spare bedroom, but I'm sure I can find room for them somewhere ...

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

If you draw Derek Jacobi and Alex Kingston, does that mean we own them?

if so then i already own (http://prof-pangaea.livejournal.com/135976.html#cutid1) jacobi's fine ass. or at least his face. excellent. *goes to fix up the futon*

[nonelvis]

Ooh, very nice drawing. Not that Jacobi isn't a handsome man now, but he really was awfully pretty when he was younger.

[kels.livejournal.com]

dude, you know that derek jacobi is MY man.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

come on, i'll let you visit.

[kels.livejournal.com]

MINE.

That's so sweet of you!

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

i know. it's really a gift from me to him. that i will profit from monetarily.

[scarletsherlock.livejournal.com]

This crazy is so entertaining on so many levels. I kind of want to get some popcorn and just sit at my computer to watch it unfold.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

i have this feeling that it will end fairly abruptly when the law gets involved, since the case os so cut-and-dried, but anything's possible. especially is smeyer does another authorial flounce of "how could my fans doooooooo this to me???? I'M NEVER WRITING ANY MORE TWILIGHT EVER! UM... AGAIN."

[arefadedaway.livejournal.com]

What kills me is that the first line in the description of Russet Moon is "After the twilight, a new moon is obscured by an eclipse." So immediately you can tell that this one is gonna be a MASTERPIECE!

anyway, i am off to create a tribute sequel to "watchmen", and then sell it for money. it's cool, alan moore and i are both mature adults.

Yay! Moore will love it, and you and he will become BFFs.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

just the title alone is... RUSSET MOON? who would think that was evocative of anything more mysterious than a baked potato?

Yay! Moore will love it, and you and he will become BFFs.

we will hold hands.

[wra1th22.livejournal.com]

i've often wondered what that batshit insane mountain hermit's hands are like. i think baby soft. he probably moisturizes.

[infiniteviking]

*wonders exactly how a new (and therefore dark) moon can be obscured by an eclipse*

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

There are few things on the interwebs I enjoy more than watching new batshittery explode on fandomwank. It's a gift that keeps on giving.

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

i do enjoy a bit of batshit from time to time. like a glass of fine cognac.

[watergal.livejournal.com]

Hey! Awesomecakes! Will your drawing come with a flounce and pouty lip? If so, where do I send the retainer?

Not that I have a novel (and it's breaking my heart), but I've got an artist, and that's a start! Baby you can draw my art!... < /Beatles>

[elliptic-eye.livejournal.com]

That one made my day, yeah.

Oh, oh! Could you draw the characters from some of my fanfic? No, not the original ones, but I'm thinking that if drawing = copyright, then if I have somebody re-draw them, then I'll have a copyright claim on my own, special version. Right? Right?

[infiniteviking]

That is clearly entirely logical! XD

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

"No no no, you own the copyright on 'the Doctor', and I own it on 'the DOCtor', get it? She owns 'the Dococktor' but that one's not as classy."

[infiniteviking]

Oh hai, I'm totes available to return the favor! \o/ ..You know, that might be fun, actually.

*falls over laughing*

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

oh dude there are ETAs i must read them!

[prof-pangaea.livejournal.com]

oh aaaaaand doctor who fandom really needs more and better fanart. maybe we should scheme like schemers and do something about it?

[infiniteviking]

Hmmmmmmmmm, true, true. *puts on schemey hat with surreptitious feather*

'suppers?
