October 5
Welcome to Day 4, where once again we are thoroughly J-J-Jaded. (She's got her mama's style but she's yesterday's child to me...) Today's fivers are "Out of Gas" and "Shindig." (Note 1: I forgot to mention yesterday that Jade has dedicated her "Jaynestown" fiver to the memory of Kerry "Lux Lucre" Pearson, a Firefly filker of note. This will be reflected on the fiver page when I implement the next version of the PHP code.) (Note 2: Be sure to check out the Season 1 page before the end of this event. At that point I'll have to come up with real blurbs.)

Heh, no wonder Mal doesn't want to ever leave Serenity. He knows that it would come looking for him... :shock:
Kudos, Jade! I think the fiver of "Shindig" has to be my favourite so far.

I liked the way you played with the scenes in Out of Gas, Jade. Especially when the characters would talk about upcoming scenes and whatnot. Btw, UST = Unrequited Sexual Tension?

Derek- I think it's unresolved sexual tension.

Yep. By definition, tension is two-sided.

Yes, well, 'shippy acronyms are not something I'm familiar with, and it took me long enough to get to U____ Sexual Tension. Maybe Zeke can update the Abbreviations page.

Whoa. Nobody was dissing you, Derek, we were just answering your question.
The Abbreviations page is certainly in need of an update, but I don't really like most 'shipper terms enough to put them there. In fact, that's true of fandom terms in general. The day I put "OTP" on there is the day I need to be deposed. [EDIT: Oo, I have a better example. "Fen." That thing will never, never appear on my site.]

No dis was inferred. Sorry if my tone came across wrong.
And is it pathetic that I have no clue what OTP or Fen are? Or is that a good thing?

OTP is One True Pairing, but I only know that because I had to look it up recently.
A quick googling reveals that fen is the plural of fan, but I really struggle to see what is wrong with "fans".

"Fans" isn't pretentious enough.
And just to be totally clear: Quote:

Also, "fen" was used as some sort of contract of "dolphin crewmen", possibly a feminine form, in David Brin's second Uplift trilogy (which I should go add to the Recommended Reading thread).

Yet if it was, say, "fanii", you'd be all over it.

No I wouldn't. I don't even use "fora" for this place.

Which is a shame, as all "forums" are automatically improved in awesomeness and pretentiousness by being known as "fora"!

Well....how about the plural of "forum" being "fenums", and the plural of "fan" being "forans"?
:mrgreen:

Considering the computer code involved, maybe the plural of forum could be "fortrans"? Or would those only be the very secure ones?

Heavens knows. I'm still trying to think of a good COBOL pun for Battlestar Galactica. Not for any particular reason, you understand.

Umm........something like "It is written that any return to COBOL will require blood, sweat toil and tears"?
That way you can work in Churchill too
