no_takebacksSo, 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!

Date: 2010-06-02 05:23 pm (UTC)I think Lee would definitely be online for research and keeping up on all the world news. On the other hand I think he would also use it for connecting with people...I could see him on Facebook and secretly addicted to playing Bejeweled Blitz or something. He would have IM that he and Kara would use to stay connected when apart....Kara would totally try and sex him up via IM and he would be completely embarrassed but really kind of like it. LOL
Kara would love to stir it up online and find fandom hilarious. She would read fic and critique it in a most hilarious fashion. She would have twitter to equally harass all her friends and post pics of Lee that she takes when he's not paying attention.
IDK. My brain is so cracky. It would be funny if they both joined a dating website and got matched. Can you imagine the emails or pictures they would swap? Somewhere there is a crack!fic waiting to be written about this.

Date: 2010-06-02 06:00 pm (UTC)Can you imagine? Lee'd be sitting in a meeting with all the heavies and Kara would send him IM's ...
K:"Hey Flyboy ..."
L: "Busy"
K: "K. Just wanna let you know ran out of undies today - borrowed yours."
Lee blushes, coughs and shifts in his seat to hide his sudden erection ...

... you know, stuff like that. I'm sure y'all can do way better than this! Can't wait for some cool fic to come out of this one.
