Hi lovelies. ♥

I've just been reading my flist and everyone seems so stressed and worried (and with many good reasons). I don't have any helpful meta re: LJ legal and harmful activity, nor do I have any solutions yet for avoiding spoilers. Alas. But! I shall not be dissuaded from my course of action!

I want to inject at least a bit of levity into your flist this evening, and so here I begin. shocolate reminded me months ago that I hadn't mentioned this idea again since I first posted it over two years ago, so I thought now would be a good time as any.

Ladies and gentleman of my flist, in your visits with both the public and other fen over the next few days, you may wish to find out of the young vixen next to you wearing the 'I can has internets?' t-shirt or the man over there that you swear just said the word 'Snarry' is also a slasher.

Perhaps you've been in a situation like this. Yes? Perhaps you've wished for a way to ascertain with 100% accuracy if this person is a slasher? And yet you've not had a strategy for doing so?

Well, fear not, dear reader! Here is a solution to your problem: A slasher seekrit code word! You are thinking: Yes! You are thinking: Genius! You are thinking: Oh, but double crap, what word could this be??

I tell you, that word is fiddlesticks!

It is clever! It is rare! It has double entendres! It can fit into a conversation easily, but not be confused with something more common like "take out the trash" or seem as out of place as something like "poignant rutabega"!

So, fear not, dear fandomer, you too can navigate the world knowing that slashers will find each other...

For a further explanation and the origination of this, see the original post from 30 October 2004 here. ♥

Okay. I hope I managed at least a few smiles with this. *much love*

So, lilybits has heard all this, so bits, just skip it.

( something about school that you can, in good conscience, skip...Collapse )


Also, I spent a large bit of the day with darkasphodel on Saturday. It was lovely. :D She listened to the above story. Poor lady. We also talked slash and bought matching UNDIES and tried on Glitter Perfume and I bought some thongs. And a GROVER tshirt! :D

aaaaaand, guess what else we got? We got hats with the slasher code word on them. :D Wanna see?

( fiddlesticks!!!Collapse )

In other news, we went out to dinner tonight to a lovely fondue restaurant and I wore one of my new thongs. Yeah, they're my first pairs. They're kind of fun, actually. I kept giggling during dinner. I felt so naughty somehow.

Why, though? They're underwear. *shakes head* Clearly, I am nuts.

So, how are you all?

There is something so incredibly squeeful about sitting in public talking slash. Just so you know, darkasphodel lives only 40 minutes away from me!! We met today and had lunch and squeed (and, yes, I had only *one* margarita) and then went to Borders and sat on the floor and looked at the Harry masturbation scene from GoF and then played a fun game where we opened up one of the HP books randomly and looked for a line that could be dirty.

And, on the escalator down, I was *sure* the woman riding the 'up' escalator was a slasher.

Which brings me to a point I've been meaning to discuss with the fandom. Are y'all ready? Okay, get comfortable...

There needs to be a secret code word that all slashers know.
