DPP: Pilots online

[coffeesuperhero.livejournal.com]

So, I have a confession. I spend a lot of time on the internet. I know, I know, it's a shocker. But seriously. I have a Twitter, an LJ, a Dreamwidth, a Myspace, a Facebook, eighty-million email accounts and screenames, and now everyone is joining Tumblr (Tumblring?), and I'm soon to cave.

This has me thinking. If our pilots could spend time surfing the web, what would they do? Would they be in fandoms? Would Kara be writing fic that would make a sailor blush? Would Lee send daily email forwards to his co-workers with all the LOLCAT macros he thought were hilarious? If they had Twitter handles, what would they be? @starbuck? @apollo? @karathraceismoreawesomethanyou? Would @arrowofapollo make an appearance? ;)

This is partly a silly!fun question, but it could also be a serious!fun question. You could speculate about what fandom might look like in the BSG 'verse, discuss the nature of online relationships and our pilots might behave in that kind of community, write twitter!fic, write blog entries for our pilots, Kara's list of prompts for a fic battle, post Kara's most recent Facebook status updates, et cetera. The possibilities are as wide as the internet and your imaginations! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Here's a silly snippet to get you started:

Hey flist, today really sucks. My girlfriend is off on a covert mission and can't sign into G-chat, and I'm stuck in a Raptor with this jackass from Pegasus. I really hate this keyboard. It's too small. I don't know how you people with Netbooks do it. At least I have the internet. Anything interesting going on out there? Seriously, guys. There's nothing new on the warcollegecomm, I've read through all the recipes on Smitten Kitchen, and all the Fandom!Secrets from today are about Supernatural. I don't even watch that show!

(Just, you know, don't send me any links to Kara's latest, ah, fic projects. I know what she's writing, okay? It's ALL NSFW. I have enough problems with this idiot co-worker already.)

Help!

Kara is absolutely and unquestionably a fan of first-person shooter games. As long as they're somewhat realistic. I could actually picture her doing critiques for first-person shooter games:

The game play is smooth, and the graphics are pretty, but that's the extent of the good that can be said for this game. The game presents us with extremely contrived scenarios, and the controls have frak-all to do with anything you might see in the real world. If you're playing for eye-candy, then by all means, enjoy the feast. But if you're looking for a game with substance, something that will get your blood pumping and your heart rate up, keep looking. -3 stars.

Lee, I think would be more of an e-mail/cause-related internet user. Yes, for work, but he'd also use it for research (especially of legal topics, but anything he was interested in), and I expect he'd do a lot of online organizing for whatever (aside from Kara) he's feeling passionate about at any given moment.

I love Kara's review. So her!

I can picture Lee pulling research for Kara's pet projects and trying to get her to read them and she'd be like "just summarize them for me flyboy." *g*

This. He would totally be using it to remind people about their civic duties and do human rights watch and organize community service. Like he'd be hosting parties for myBO and shit.
