Truth to tell

Which of the following is a lie about my fannish life?

1) My first fanfic was converting a "Valley of the Dinosaurs" comic to a script form on my mother's typewriter at the age of 8.

This is true. I was typing it on purple paper no less.

2) My first television memories are watching "Lost in Space" and "Star Trek."

Also True. I was under 5, and i recall watching "By Any Other Name."

3) I've had gen, het and slash fic published in zines in the last year. All Star Wars.

True. I turned up in a number of zines, including Imperium (het, Han/Leia, although the kiss is Han/Luke), I Don't Care What You Smell (gen, Luke-focus), Sanctuary Moon (Han/Luke), Bystander (Qui/Obi) and Constricted By Plot (Han/Luke/Jacen).


4) The first fanzine I ever owned was Elusive Lover: Alternate Visions

False. (sorry jkb) It was the first I ever purchased for myself. But I had a copy of Baselines, which was StarBase Kansas City's fanzine. I read it to tatters.

5) I can recite (along with the tape) all of "A Wind to Shake the Stars" and "Points of Origin" from the ANH radio play. Doing the voices no less.

You betcha.

(no subject)

I should say something intelligent, timely and political.

OTOH, I'm still stuck in 1989 Russia, and two old captains, Alexei Vostrikov and Mikhail Polenin going out for a drink after visiting the cemetary and seeing all their boys, both the live and dead ones. They're maudlin drunks, and woke me several times last night as well as bugging me today.

IOW K-19: The Widowmaker didn't suck as badly as I expected it to. The end is beautiful. The middle is a bit soggy. And the beginning is slow. The visuals were well done, esp. the gorgeous, eerie and deadly Chrenkov radiation in the reactor. (It does look just like that IRL) The accents were just another movie device, and (I suspect)the effort of maintaining the accent kept Ford from his usual mumbling. And they both look great as old men. (Neeson bears an odd resemblence to a fuller-faced Leonard Nimoy. I suspect it's the glasses)

25 more minutes. then i can go home and sleep

Notes: inspired by the lovely cemetery scene at the end of K-19: The Widowmaker when Alexei Vostrikov (Harrison Ford) and Mikhail Polenin (Liam Neeson) meet for the first time in 28 years.
