proggrrlBig Showbiz is paying a tiny moment of attention to the fanvid contest on SciFi's website. Hmmmph.
As usual, even here they get it wrong, referring to it as "fanfic" - and to all interested parties as "fanboys." Frakking whatever.
Did like this though:
In the sticky wetware dream of sci-fi fandom, nothing, not even a miniskirted "Star Trek" ensign, is more provocative than "Battlestar Galactica." Or, as the fans are apt to call it, "BstarG." Or, as it's known in my household, "Humans in bed with robots." Yes, that really happens. A lot. Threesomes even.
[...snip]
Overall, the results are mixed, but with the contest the Sci-Fi Channel does well by its fans. Fanfic samizdat will always exist regardless of officially sanctioned media. You can't beat them. Join them.
Also loved that he called it SAMIZDAT. Great. (Look it up for chrissakes.)
Now if TPTB would just really, really embrace the fanvidders and let them post vids ripping ACTUAL SHOW CONTENT (acting/dialogue/etc) and deal with reality, life would be good.
Give them time, brothers and sisters, give them time. *g*
Meanwhile, I guess it's WAAAAAY too advanced and All Fanboish for THR to understand where "B*G" came from...if you don't know, take a look at this. Then, for fun, go here too. Gods I adore Callis & Helfer!!!!!
