QAFCAPS.COM NEEDS OUR HELP, PEEPS! (also posted here)

Our amelialourdes, Keeper of the QaF Screencaps (qafcaps) and Protector of A+ QaF Fic (queereyes), is hoping we can help donate a little something to help keep the sites running. WON'T YOU THINK OF THE ALL THOSE CAPS AND WONDERFUL FIC ARCHIVE THAT MAKE THE QAF FANDOM A BETTER PLACE. And let me add that I absolutely 100% trust Aimee and her assurance that every penny will be tallied and applied to only the QaF sites. You can donate and not worry that your money will never be heard from again, that the sites will vanish, or that she'll suddenly be making posts about her omg brand new laptop, heh. Please help! ♥

01. I started a TSN rec list last night, because, srsly, good god, this fandom. No, really, this fandom. So fucking good. But then I got guilt, cos, ugh, I need to finish that H50 rec list I started months ago first aldfjas. Oh, fandoms. I love when you are fabulous. Even if that means I need 72 hours in a day to keep up.

02. Andrew could maybe possibly end up working with CPine. CUE MY BRAIN EXPLODING FROM THE COMBINED HOTNESS. (Andrew looks half-asleep in the pic they used aldfkja. I swear, that boy is too pretty to be this unphotogenic.) Hmn, and if that doesn't work out, Andrew and JT being BFF wouldn't hurt my feelings. And think how giddy Timbalone will be to finally have all of Andrew's attention in interviews, heh. OH AND AND AND: The original story - focusing on teen biker gang member Kaneda and his friend Tetsuo - was set in post-nuclear war Tokyo in 2019 while the new movie is expected to take place in New York. That's right, Andrew could be filming in New Fucking York, aka Jesseland! ♥

02a. Why do my OTPs always live on opposite coasts? THEIR LOVES ARE SO COASTALLY CHALLENGED. :'(

03. Time to vote for the MTV Movie Awards! Well, the noms portion, anyway. Although I really don't know how I'm supposed to choose between JGL and THard for Most Bad-Ass. SOPHIE'S CHOICE GEEZ.

BEST MOVIE <--- TSN, wooot!
BEST MALE PERFORMANCE <--- Jesse! ♥
BEST MALE BREAKOUT STAR <--- Andrew! ♥
BEST LINE FROM A MOVIE <--- Jess ("...woulda invented FB.") / Andrew&JT ("...billion dollars.") / Armie ("...two of me.") <--- another hard one, ugh.

And then I voted all over the damn place for Emma Stone. That girl, I swear. She owneth me. ♥

04. OMG GUESS WHAT. I have Tennis Channel now! Not sure when that happened, but I was flipping around last week and boom, there it was. So I got to watch Fedal at Indian Wells, omg. I'd never seen them do a doubles match! I was practically bouncing on the couch the whole time like, well, a tennis ball. Then they both lost at the end of the whole tourny, sadface. BUT HEY I HAVE TENNIS CHANNEL NOW.

05. LJ spoketh in between making inane Frank and Meme updates: We're still working on the issue that's causing some notifications to get caught in spam filters. We've made considerable progress, but AOL still has a significant number of backed-up notifications. They're stored and will be delivered as soon as we can resolve the underlying issue. --here

Guess who my ISP is. :| So, yeah. Not ignoring you, flist. ♥

06. On a funner note, FEDERBBS! :D :D :D

Or HERE

LIKE BRIAN WITH JUSTIN'S COCK IN HIS ASS, I FEEL THE LOVE, FANDOM, I FEEL THE LOVE. It took TWO POSTS this year for all the messages. 821 Valentine's Day messages for 269 different people. Oh, fandom. Even our V-Day messages end up in 69. ♥

And, omg, darling youbetterwiseup, candy hearts! I love, I love! And really want to lick-nibble you and the screen alkdfa. And Anonymous with a gorgeous rose! That's you, Gale, isn't it? I knew you didn't really mean that restraining order. :X

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Oh, flist, I love you muchly. So, I'm sending you a little something. This is five years of Justin teaching Brian how to say "I love you".

1. Go here!

2.

3. Read my super sekrit personalized message: "I LOVE YOU, FLIST!"

Um. Yeah, sorry about the whole self-serve aspect here adkfllkj. I tried sending it to myself so I'd have the direct link for y'all, but Hallmark keeps timing out on me. You'd think it was a busy day for them or something aldfj.

Oh! I had a couple ask and last year's Queer As Valentine's Day icons are here. ;)

LIKE JUSTIN WITH BRIAN'S COCK IN HIS ASS, I FEEL THE LOVE, FANDOM, I FEEL THE LOVE.

P.S. Will catch up on comments/flist ASAP. :X

Remember when Emmett threw that goodbye party for Michael? Everyone in flannel, a moose in the room, pine scent air spray lingering in the air. Well, QaF is Michael and I'm Debbie. So brace yourself. I'm gonna hug you, QaF. And I'm not letting go.

Seriously, you'd think only having six hours of sleep in the last 65 hours would work in my favor, at least give me a pleasantly numb buzz to work with. (Blogathon ROCKED!! I won a fic by burnitbackwards alfkjasldj!!!!) But I'm an emotional mess. Had breakfast with the mom (when I was still in the Only Two Hours range of sleep) and she kept peering at me over her menu before finally laughing. "Oh, Ree. Are you on drugs?"

Drug intervention over IHOP pancakes alkdjalf.

Everything else I had planned to say today about our gay show keeps dissolving into "a;kdjfaljsd" and about fifteen lines of :(( and suspiciously sounds like a Budweiser "I love you, man!" commercial. But that's actually okay. Because Gio's grab your heart by the balls icon tribute really sums up everything I'm feeling perfectly. Go, look. My wife is genius.

Want to really start crying? Play Save the Last Dance on your computer while you watch all the icons.

Add to that the fact that I have to be out of town this week -- starting tonight, well, of course -- with minimal internet (if any) and Ree has to put her head down on her desk for awhile. But an upside? I still have 512 and soon 513 to look forward to when I get back. I've been known to get 20 different icons out of one photo. And dammit, I can make two episodes last three weeks. Maybe even longer.

So, group hug! With no letting go.

Distract me plz. Am downloading 512 today and have a big ole fat elephant of sad sitting on my chest. Because there's only one more -- ONE MORE -- ep of my gay show after this and yada yada angstcakes life over. What matters here is I'm sad like whoa. And if you were to say that my watching Justin and His Backpack of Doom (tm) walk away in this brill icon for the last forty minutes wasn't helping matters any, you'd be oh so right alkdj.

But-but! Look at eet!

THE LITTLE GAY HAND WAVE KILLS ME, FLIST, THE HAND WAVE. :((

So, to avoid thinking about the end, let's talk about the beginning! Tell me how you came to be smoking the crack that is QaF.

Watched from the beginning? Got kidnapped by friends who demanded you watch all of season one in a weekend and then held season two hostage? Loved the UK version and wanted to see how much US TV would fuck it up? Saw a diseased ball being auctioned off on e-Bay and just had to see what the fuss was about?

Tell me! In great detail if you want, or just a few lines. I have a v. Brian attitude about that: Can be 1 inch or 10 inches long, I'm still interested in your goods.

This is my pain management, yo.

( here's my story, of two very lovely gayboys...Collapse )

OMG ONE RULE: NO SPOILERS FOR 512/513 ALLOWED

ETA: Electricity and phone service has been on and off around here since right after I posted (of course), but tonight I gathered my chocolate milk and Pepperidge Farm cookies and have been reading all (!!!!!) of your responses. Totally been laughing and sighing sadly and nodding along and generally just wallowing in the stories, friendship and comfort food. Thank you, everyone. Group hug to the right, orgy to the left. :X
