End-of-year link cleanout: fail_fandomanon threads
Describe your fic, I’ll give it a title from the Communist Manifesto: "Broke: taking your fic titles from songs and poems / Woke: taking your fic titles from surprisingly poetic radical literature"
Arbitrary Genre Restrictions: "Horror can't be set in space or underwater! Romcoms cannot contain bicycles! Please make up some more ludicrous rules, nonnies."
"Pretty low-stakes, but I learned about The Beatles before I learned about, you know, actual beetles, and I was convinced my science book had spelled beetle wrong." Funny misconceptions you had as a kid.
"The first few times, my reaction was definitely "hive of scum and villainy which I also can't work out how to read!". But eventually I got curious enough to come back and figure out what was really going on here. " First impressions of meme.
"Times you watched something and your dumb child brain invented something wildly different than what was on screen."
"In this threadlet may you tasty in your own language write, but then everything word for word in the English relanguaged. Use especially many idioms and saywises and speakwords and local expressions."
And again: "You-all know the ditty: speak your mumslang, use chunky many idioms and saywises, translate it literally to the English (you may it even on wordpartlevel enlanguage), and send it to meme." [This turned into a recurring thread, so I haven't saved all the links, but hit up dememe for more.]
"Best Wifi Names: Fannish or just generally funny names you've noticed when looking for Wifi"
"Change one letter in the name your canon, then describe the resulting canon. Nonnies guess which canon you mean. So for example, 'spy movie series starring a toad' - Answer: James Pond (James Bond)"
