The Project:
Space tourism is still a long ways off, but it’s not hard to imagine that someday, tourists will visit the natural geological landmarks of other worlds much like they tour the Grand Canyon, Mount Everest or Ayers Rock. Each of these great tourist destinations needs a classic retro travel poster to entice visitors. Until the day people settle off world and make their own destinations many of these may be the places that people will want to travel too. I hope that these posters can inspire people to think beyond our world to the limitless possibilities of the Universe.

Yesterday my “your friendly reminder” post about how Orson Scott Card Is A Homophobe Don’t Give Him Money got linked-all-over again and I got the same mixture of responses as last time:

So lately I was having those crazy Dark!Erebor AU plot-bunnies. Like, what if Thorin died in BoFA and Bilbo has instantly gone completely bonkers with grief, to the point that he actually summoned something REALLY BAD with his ring and force of will. Thorin is resurrected but it’s not a happy miracle but an act of Necromagic, so the dwarf king isn’t the same person he was before. Same goes for Bilbo who literally sold his soul to bring the dwarf from the dead and the price he must pay is to continue living as a vessel for the Dark Power he evoked. That evil thing is cunning to act discreet enough so nobody notices the difference at first. Thorin is crowned as a King of Erebor and though he manages to revive the kingdom to its former glory, his policy borders on cruel and downright despotic. And not one of his brutal decisions made without the knowledge and lead of the Halfling who follows Thorin like a vicious shadow and instigates him to rule with an iron fist and violently punish everyone who goes against his will.
I’d imagine Thorin chopping heads off while Bilbo, the sneaky fucker, cuts some bitches in dark corners when the insurgent dwarves keep attempting to kill them both or sabotage their ruling.
So, like, Erebor becomes a base of Mordor and biggest threat to whole Middlearth.
lol, i guess i’ll just take my pills and go to sleep K BYEI GASPED. This is scary and I kinda want this AU now. *hides face*
Unexpected!AU is unexpected — but entertaining, and with lovely art. :)
So I was in the National Portrait Gallery and…
Tell me you see it! Tell me you see it, too!
(Well, it amused me. But then again, I am easily amused.)
The portrait is of John Horne Tooke by Thomas Hardy.
John. Tooke. Took(e). Just sayin’.
:D
John H. Tooke??
Guys, someone at the National Portrait Gallery is trolling us.
HISTORY is trolling us, at the very least.
Holy shit I totally thought this was photoshopped until I read the captions.
Riverdance is hot.

Who knew Irish dancing could be so bad ass…?
Irish dancing was badass before this, thank you very much

Your fandom weather report for the day: The sky is not falling, but you’ll want an umbrella, because we’ve got a heavy shitstorm settling in for the duration.
Okay, so I woke up today to the news that Amazon is now launching Kindle Worlds. [ Press Release ] [ Kindle…
Read this! It’s a wonderful dissection of the whole Amazon thing, *especially* how Amazon is blatantly offering to screw over any authors that take them up on this.
Here is a question that has plagued me for some time and that you might be able to answer: I know that Spock/Kirk was the original pairing name and the origin of “slash” as a term, but is “Spirk” still relatively old as a name for the ship?…
Another thing that seems to affect usage of portmanteau ship names (e.g. “Spirk”) is internet location. I really haven’t seen it widely used on AO3, LiveJournal, Teaspoon, etc. (though that may also reflect the sub-areas of those sites where I usually hang out), and the impression I’ve always gotten is that it was mostly used by younger fans with many of the older fans considering it a silly teenager get-off-my-lawn-and-start-referring-to-ships-properly thing. I mostly ever saw it on LiveJournal in the Jack/Ianto - aka Janto - subfandom, which tended to skew pretty young in its demographics. Which all does support the idea that it’s a more recent phenomenon.
Also, as someone above mentions, when using the name1/name2 format, it’s standard to put the most dominant character’s name first — easier to do in that format than in the portmanteau version, where there might be issues of pronunciation/clunkiness that dictate which character’s name is first.
Me, I just use whatever naming format seems to be the socially accepted one for the company I’m in. *shrugs* For me, the ships are the important thing, not the naming conventions.
