woodfaceI went to the con in Ghent today. It was fun. Lots of geeks around, some in way cool costumes. I just put on my Star Trek science officer shirt and got in cheaper. Mwah. I bought 2 patches for BSG. One with the logo on and one with the viper. Now I just need to find a jacket to actually stick them on.
Corin Nemec is hot. Dude, did not expect this but I'm in complete lust. No, I didn't pay and go up to eitehr him and Don Davis. It's that whole actor/character thing, I suppose. He was still way cute with his ballcap and damn, but the guy has a nice body. Q&A was kinda interesting if not too short.
Okay, I just had a look at my friendlist and WTF? Real people fanfic/ship? No, just no. No frakking way even. It's just... wrong. And it squicks me. As if Kara/Lee isn't bad enough on itself. JB is married, KS has a boyfriend. That's just... I love you guys, but no frakking way.

And I just have to say -- cons in Ghent? There's just something surreal about that.

No, in fact, it IS totally weird.

Date: 2005-10-15 05:17 pm (UTC)I knew my comment about Ghent would sound weird. I've only been there as a tourist, so I think of it as very medieval and picturesque sort of place, and not the typical venue for a scifi con. (But I have very limited recall of how big a city it is.)
Brussels is different. And on the flip side, Bruges would have been even more surreal.

Date: 2005-10-15 05:34 pm (UTC)Being fans of actors themselves is totally okay.
But seriously... people write real people fanfic? I'd almost ask for a link, if it wasn't such a frightening concept.

Date: 2005-10-15 05:35 pm (UTC)It's out there. I never read it, though. I wouldn't be able to find it either.

Date: 2005-10-15 05:57 pm (UTC)Yeah, that's the sort of weirdness where I go "Uh, yeah, but would real people fic just be, you know... glorified tabloid writing?"
no subject
Date: 2005-10-15 05:59 pm (UTC)I agree with you on the real person squick thing. That seems way too personal to be talking (and shipping) about JB and KS, or any of the other actors/actresses. It seems like that is crossing into Jaka territory.

Date: 2005-10-15 06:03 pm (UTC)I understand too how 'knowing' actors can mess with the characters they portray. If some guy is a jerk in real life, I don't want to know about it because then it takes away from the character.

Date: 2005-10-15 07:02 pm (UTC)I will defend myself by saying this is the first time I've ever thought of writting RPF. And to me, Katee and Jamie aren't really real people - they're sort of like characters. I would never pretend to think they'd ever act like I would write them, it's just fun.
And yes, I think it's weird and no real defense.
