Come to the SV social
"I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party. The party with the...with the pants. The party with pants."
"Brick, are you saying there's a party in your pants and I'm invited?" (Anchorman)
No, actually the party is in the comments of this entry! Come and join the fun and meet new people in SV fandom. I would especially like to encourage you quiet folks lurking in the back--even those of you without livejournals of your own--to drop by and introduce yourselves. We're all a pretty friendly bunch here, and we like to make new friends. Fandom is more fun when you get involved and meet people, so why don't you stop by and say hi?
Here's a little mini-questionnaire, almost completely stolen from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

1. Tell us something about yourself: I only figured out what I wanted to do with my life shortly after my 24th birthday. You may now draw the obvious conclusions about my capacity for intelligent self-awareness.
2. Likes: Smallville. In general. (Yes, this includes Lana.) Other shows I love are House, Battlestar Galactica, Profit, and countless others listed in my userinfo.
3. Dislikes: okay, I know I said I like SV "in general", but I could really do with a *skosh* more, you know, *logic*. In general. Other dislikes include alarm clocks, pickled beets and my current job.
4. What got you interested in Smallville? I read a newspaper article about the SV cast at the WB upfronts waaaaay back before the first season began airing, and the idea of a young Superman series intrigued me. It didn't start airing on a broadcast Canadian channel until about a month after it started airing in the States, though, so I spoiled myself at TWoP and became even *more* intrigued. By the time I actually got to see the Pilot, my fannish love was pretty much inevitable.
5. What are your favorite SV episodes? 'Hourglass', 'Tempest', 'Lineage', 'Rosetta', 'Extinction', 'Shattered', 'Truth', 'Memoria', 'Transference', 'Spell' (hush, you), 'Mortal', 'Splinter', 'Lexmas', Reckoning'.
6. What SV fanfic do you reread most often? Actually, I reread meta more than fic these days.
7. Random facts: I'm one of the few, the proud, the Writers of SV Gen! And...gen for a lot of other shows, too. (For varying values of "gen".) I am very pleased at this *three page* proof of SV fandom's continued life and kicking-ness. I am Canadian. I like Terry Pratchett, and wish you all a Glorious 25th of May.

So, have you read any good meta lately?
no subject
Meta, meta, meta...well, on an ep-by-ep basis, you,
Basically, trawling SV fans' memories for meta is never a bad idea. LJ enables the devouring of brains in much more civilised ways than the zombie option. *g*
(Past meta-if-you-squint-through-the-tears-of-laughter I will never ever stop loving:

I love your reviews, too, btw--especially your analysis of all things Luthor.

Ah, logic! That ever-elusive element in the SV plots... when introducing friends to SV, I frequently have to pause the show while they rant and remind them 'do not apply logic to this show!' to which they frequently retort, 'I know... I know... you told me upfront, BUT arrghh!!!' Then I usually put on my zen face and pray a Clexy scene is coming up to keep them hooked.
At meta *rereader*? Wow! I OD'd on meta when I entered the fandom (late)--there was some brilliant stuff written early on.

the kind of meta it tends to attract requires the meta-er to extrapolate and compare, and when you've got smart people filling in those kinds of blanks... *g*
Absolutely!

Taken on a purely visual level, SV's almost *freakishly* deep; I think it's one of the few shows in which you can turn off the sound and get a lush, engaging story. (Also: PRETTY.)
no subject
And yes, PRETTY! If I was a vidder, I'd be in heaven. *g*

Muahahahahahahaaaaa!!! Ahem. *g*

Hee. And yes, Smallville with more logic would be good. So that things were explained and plots were thoroughly thought out and such.
no subject
I think part of the problem stems from all those tie-ins the show had in the first couple of seasons: between the Ledger/Torch websites and the comic book, and how they could cobble together some "closure" through the articles and storylines in those formats, the writers didn't *have to* end each episode with every plot thread tied up satisfactorily. I think they got used to that, and got lazy, and now...here we are.
Of course, a larger part of the problem is the fact that, apparently, every single SV writer flunked Higher Reasoning. I guess they're just lucky they've got such a *very* pretty cast. :)
