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!

Okay, so you all know I'm not good with this stuff, but here goes my FB take.

Kara FB status:

"On the banks of the river Styx, I cry for my lost love. He who commands my soul, Takes me to heights unknown. Ah Fates! What tangled webs you weave."

Comments:

Kat: Wow. Who knew god was so frakkin' romantic. What gives Starbuck? Couldn't get the CAG to finally frak you?

Hot Dog: I don't get it.

Kat: @Hot Dog - of course you don't.

Racetrack: OMG Starbuck. That's so beautiful. Crashdown should take notes.

Crashdown: Roger that Meg.

Tyrol: @Racetrack, @Crashdown, @Hot Dog - aren't you all supposed to be on maintenance right now? These ships don't fix themselves you know.

Cally: Lighten up Chief. Starbuck's quoting poetry. Too good to pass up.

Tigh: Everyone stop frakking around on here and get back to your posts. For frak's sake.

Apollo: @Starbuck - My office. RFN.

Adama: People! We all have a civilization to save, a home to find and Cylons to blow out of the sky. Get the frak back to work! So say we all.

Laura: Bill. My office. RFN.

Helo: Anyone seen Hera?

Starbuck: @Kat - what's the matter Kitty Kat? You scared you gonna lose that bet?

@Helo - for frak's sake. Get a leash for that kid.

@Laura - TMI
