DPP: Mix Masala

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

Hello Shipper Nation!! My name is Reshma a.k.a rdave1 . A shout-out to jeebs83 for hosting such a fun-filled week! I know I have big shoes to fill and I hope you all like what I have planned for the week!!

To start the week off I thought we’d do a mix masala style, a little bit everything thrown together.

So, yesterday jeebs83 posted that she opened up tumblr account for pilot love. What I want to know is how many online accounts, communities, photobucket type accounts have to set up because of pilots??

Also, since the conception of DPP and before, we always get great recommendation from other shippers on fics of all kinds. What makes the fics so memorable? Is it because they are well written? Is it a certain scene or a particular dialogue that makes it memorable in your head for so long? Do you have favorite quotes from fanfiction?

And lastly, we have some great writers in our nation who can come up with some great things in matter of minutes. We’ve done various types of round-robins. I would like to combine a few of those styles and do one. sci_fi_shipper did six word ficlet during her DPP and jeebs83 did a gif round-robin last week. Let’s combine the two, someone post a pic and then the same person or someone else come up with a six word s to go with it. The challenge is that next six words has be a continuation of the previous six words, you can add pics to go with every entry if you like. I figured a pic for every entry and continuation may be hard but hey we’ve got tons of great artist and that’s what photoshop is for right?:)

So let’s begin the party!!!! Have fun!!!

**On a side note, this week is Military Appreciation Week! Please give thanks to any service personnel that you know whether they be military, police, firefighter and such.

Sorry, you know I can get wordy and confusing.

Couple of things:
1) what did you join, online accounts and such since your introduction to BSG and pilots?
2)About our lovely fics. What makes them memorable? Favorite quotes or scenes or dialogues that just makes the story stick out in your head?
3)Round robin with a gif and six world ficlet. Use a gif with six words or less and the next person continues the story with a gif (if possible) and six words or less.

I hope that helps! I've been busy trying recruite a co-worker into fandom. I think it's working. She is watching the mini as we speak.:)

Hmm...
1) Joined LJ because I had to keep abridging my provocative chapters to fit the "rated M" confines of fanfiction.net... though that was the first site I began to follow, and the main one I write for.
2) I think the best fics tend to have characters who really act like our well-known, and beloved characters. I hate when Kara has been rehabbed and Lee is sedate. I personally like her destructive tendancies and Lee's awful temper... I think that fanfic writers should be challenged to write with the existing personalities in mind, and STILL make it work.
3) I'm still not entirely sure what's going on with this post. (Only been on LJ for three days.)
But I'm a quick learner... Be patient! K :>)

Well, welcome to LJ.

Fanfiction was also the first place I started with fandom but it wasn't BSG. When I got into BSG, I needed more, weekly discussions on episodes and such.

I agree. The characterizations can't change too much in a fic. Yes, you need some room for interpretation but not so much that you don't recognize the characters at all.

Are you the author of Officers' Club on ff.net?

The only other part of this post was a six word ficlet with a pic. I think there is a thread above. Kind of like round-robin with a pic and continuing the fic with only six words or less. I hope that explains it!

Yes - that's me. I'll see if I can get back to the round-robin though I'm editing a couple chapters right now. (I am updating nightly... a bit fanatical, but that's me).

No worries!! That's good that you update nightly, your readers must love that.:)
