Spotlight on Fandoms: Wonderfalls

[fates_jaye]

Happy Sunday! I come bearing talk of snarky crack!

Wonderfalls was a show on Fox created by Bryan Fuller, Todd Holland and Tim Minear that ran for a whopping four episodes. Which were run kind of out of order. Oh, don't worry, I'll try to keep my "why Fox blows" rant short. Basically, it debuted in early 2004 after being pushed back from a fall premiere, and they not only ran it in the Friday night death slot that hasn't worked since X-Files, but they put it up against Joan of Arcadia, a similar show with better promotion. Ratings weren't great, so I think in about week three they decided to move it to Thursday to see if it helped, but didn't actually promote it, so the show got canceled due to low ratings.

The thing was, Wonderfalls was one of a series of shows that had Save Our Show campaigns running right about the time of the first episode/before it aired. So the fans knew it was coming, and said fans have also done pretty good with the DVD sales. I also know a lot of people who missed the show entirely and picked it up on DVD, and I really think everyone should, because the show's worth it. I may be biased, though, but I don't think so, and here's why.

Spotlight on Fandoms: The Mummy and The Mummy Returns

Woot! Time to explain my fandom's background. It's really pretty simple compared to some-- only two movies so far. But the third is in production! So this will be short but in-progress.

Questions? Comments? Anyone care for a mint?

The End of WeeTiny Weekend

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Folks, thank you for making this weekend a ton of fun. Personally, I think this even beat out the original WeeTiny Weekend in terms of awesomeness. Then again, I didn't have to send weetinies to time out this weekend while trying to figure out why my work computer hated me for nine hours on a Saturday, so I may be biased.

On Monday morning, all of the weetinies will return to their adult forms with full memories of what happened this weekend. Also, since there are a bunch of weetinies in the dorms still if you want them to go to sleep there, that's fine. By the power of Fandom magic, they'll wake up in their own beds, though.

Students, make sure your teachers never live this down. Adults, you'll get your revenge in time. And once again, thank you all. This was a blast.
