Let's talk about food. What do you think Adam and Sauli ate in Bora Bora? Oysters? Do they have those in Bora Bora? ETA: seems like I am not the only one curious about availability. :D |

Sure! Count me in!!!!  Okay, who has the biggest TV? I'd love to host, and I'm near an airport, but I only have a little house and tiny TV's ... :( But I'll fly or drive anywhere, if we can find a good place to do it ... :D |

I would love to get together with all of you who appreciate our love for Adam. I know it would be a blast. I'm so far away here in Wisconsin and don't really like flying. But for Adam, who knows and of course to meet all of you would be extra special!  |

Sticking my head in briefly to put in my 0.02 about fanfic I've dipped my toes into various fanfic fandoms over the years. Everything from Star Trek to Pride and Prejudice to Lord of the Rings (although the first time I checked out a LOTR link someone sent me my husband looked over my shoulder and guffawed: "Elf Porn!! You're reading Elf Porn!!" Some is sexy. Some is not. Some is FANTASTIC writing. Some is shlock. Some is indeed about relationships (including some that is utterly squicky in nature). Some merely expand the orginal plot to places and character experiences that the original author never thought...and occasionally the results have been beautifully stunning. Whole series of actual in-print books (Star Trek, Dr. Who) in stores are essentially fanfic. What I'm trying to say is that the term 'FanFic" encompasses a HUGE genre of types and experiences. That a percentage of it may make a person unfamiliar to the term uncomfortable is understandable, but don't "throw the baby out with the bathwater". A lot of it is tremendously good. Fanfic is about STORIES. Yep, some contain sex (for some reason people *do* like writing about that.  ), but that's not the sole reason it exists. A lot of time, its just people who love to write and get feedback on their writing. Personally, I have no problem with mentioning Adam fanfic here. It most definitively exists. HOWEVER, I would recommend that peeps consider that certain fanfic stories that are sexual in nature will categorically *not* be pleasurable reading to all, and therefore specific recommendations (links only, please) should be either be PMed or at least headed with a SCROLL IF NOT INTERESTED alert. Everything you say here is absolutely right on. I wouldn't categorize the fic because there is such a variety of it in terms of styles, plots, themes, quality etc. I will say the best ones do for me exactly what any good writing or literature does for me-- transports and delights and makes me feel involved with the story and characters. Good writing is good writing. I want to third all this. I will say that the very first fanfic I encountered was horribly written sqicky porn. I ran away from that as fast as I could. Then, I saw some fic recommendations and tried it again. There are writers and stories I like and I won't say anything anymore. |

Oysters? Do they have those in Bora Bora? Champagne and oysters. And sea foam and ice-cream. Coconuts and mangoes and papayas. All eaten in bed. I totally ship this menu Double emphasis on the mangoes (Seinfeld anyone?) but it has long been one of my more romantic foods because the flavor and texture are so perfect, they're decadent. Also lobster eaten with the fingers – also very sensual ... perhaps strawberries and chocolate as well.  BRB, ordering me an insta-boyfriend and booking a flight ... |

I'd like to make a clarification about the fan fic discussion. I don't think anyone was trying to push anyone else into reading or approving of fan fic. I know all I was trying to do is clear up a lot of the misrepresentations of terminology and confusion about the genre. Whether someone wants to read fan fic in general or slash or real people fic is a very personal decision but some of what was being posted here indicated a total misunderstanding of both the terms and the medium. Many posters were making judgements based on totally erroneous information and a misunderstanding of the true meanings of the terms. Just because there exist BSC fans who take shipping seriously does not mean that the term itself implies belief in the reality. Just as we don't want our fandom as a whole defined by the BSC fans, fan fic writers and readers do not want their community defined by crazy tinhatters and conspiracy theorists. Also the fan fic sites are for the most part very precise about having stories contain proper warnings and summaries so that you can choose not to read fics that are not in your comfort zone. The problems crop up when people who are ignorant of the rules of fan fic posting do not follow the conventions. One poster mentioned a specific fic in order to make a point and I asked for a link to it which I admit I should have just asked via pm, but the majority of the discussion has been an attempt to educate about what shipping is and what fan fic is so that those of you who have not been exposed to it get the correct definitions for the terminology. Yes and I appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share your info. I do think no one, with one exception, went into any kind of detail on actual fic content. The discussion was interesting and I thank you I also wanted to add that I thought the discussion was informative. I also want to thank the members of the board for letting this discussion come to closure in a positve way. It would have been un-comfortable to just leave it hanging. Yesterday, a board member asked a question. Several board members answered the question and attempted to remove some misconceptions. Now many are more informed. We now that any specific recommendations on that topic should be in the reference thread along with recommendations on books, music, etc. Freedom of expression rules (Well, as long as the topic is about Adam) |
