FH Meta Wiki: An Update

[angelo_wings]

When it was first announced a little over a month ago, the FH Meta Wiki on Wikia had two articles. Thanks to some seriously kick-ass people hunting down old meta archives, cross-checking sources, and uploading like mad fiends, the wiki currently stands at 381 424.

Most of those articles are just the bare-bones essentials, but a growing number have details. The wiki's now full enough that I think we can officially call it open for business -- please head there for any and all meta needs you might have.

We still need your help!

Meta Titles That Are Still Unidentified

COMICS
Anthrax Cat
Current Incarnation
Jonathan - Black Horse
Marvels - Incredible
Rage - Independent

MOVIES
Going-to-bed-now Camp
Harboring Ill Intentions
Ran With Zombies
The Red House
The Unsinned

UNKNOWN
DuJour
Just Us
Lot 09
Magic Month
Teal Deer
The Walls

If you can identify any of these, please comment below!


Questions

1) The Snorgs: is this meta for The Snorks, The Smurfs, or something else entirely?

2) Angelica Demenses is listed as an (FH-created) author of romance novels. Are there names for any of her books?

3) Is "Touched by a Crazy Person" meta for "Touched by an Angel", and if so, does it just take the show premise 180 degrees? If not, what's it about?

4) One of the listings from Jakey's old meta list was:

Fruit Sundae (substitute for pretty much any gay movie)

What should we do with this?



Help is appreciated! Comments and questions can go here, too! Go go gadget meta!

I Can Name That Tu---, Er, Identify That Meta!

You get a gold star! And cookies!

Anthrax Cat is from Transmetropolitan. It's kind of Tom and Jerry, but on crack. and anthrax.

Jonathan is probably the one from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I think Rage is from Queer as Folk US, but I'm not sure.

DuJour is the boyband in Josie and the Pussycats who have the smash hit backdoor lover.

The Walls could be the Doors.

(hi!)

Re: I Can Name That Tu---, Er, Identify That Meta!

[angelo_wings]

(HI!!! ♥)

Oooh, okay. What little I can find on Wiki seems to think Anthrax Cat is a cartoon show, not a comic. Is that right, or is it both?

Is there a Jonathan comic in the Buffy series? Or is that from the episode where he was the COOLEST PERSON EVER?

Am in the process of adding the rest. THANK YOU! Gold stars and cookies!

Magic Month is Witch Week by Diana Wynne Jones.
Going to Bed Now Camp is probably the horror movie (series) Sleepaway Camp.
Marvels - Incredible is I think X-Men: Unlimited

Re: I Can Name That Tu---, Er, Identify That Meta!

[angelo_wings]

Added! As for Marvels - Incredible, this is what I found, as a quote from Jakey:

Marvels from, uh, Marvel-verse. Although they're more like Based on Real Life there.

Does that help at all?

Re: I Can Name That Tu---, Er, Identify That Meta!

Ran With Zombies

...Dances With Wolves? IDEK?

Re: I Can Name That Tu---, Er, Identify That Meta!

[angelo_wings]

That's ... as good a guess as I've heard for it. I think I'm gonna add that. Merci!

Re: I Can Name That Tu---, Er, Identify That Meta!

[angelo_wings]

Okay, turns out that can't work. The reference I found:

It was a genre that quickly found its stylistic footing, to the point where studios would just give their directors a title to work off, and see what they got. That's how we got 'Ran with Zombies', for example.

(In a discussion about the horror genre, this was.)

So now I'm trying to think of horror movies that fit that pattern and not coming up with anything.

Gold stars and cookies for you, too!

Re: I Have Answers to Those Questions!

DuJour is the boy band in Josie & The Pussycats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josie_and_the_Pussycats_%28film%29) -- is that what the listing might refer to?

I found two Demesnes book titles on a quick search of my email:

• Crown Diamond (http://community.livejournal.com/fh_trips/44812.html?thread=13094156)
  
• Storms of Silver (http://swerval-zero.livejournal.com/22482.html?thread=333522#t333522).

I suspect we came up with a lot more, though. I can't remember which one had the ninja-pirate romance.

(And this time I did not screw up your OCD, la!)

Re: I Have Answers to Those Questions!

[notmyownage]

You beat me to DuJour. I don't know what else that could be referring to -- and you know someone had to have ended up rocking out to "Backdoor Lover".

The band was Teal Dear (yeah, we thought we were funny). I don't know if that would count as meta, since it was a band created in game with no particular reference to another band.

Re: I Have Answers to Those Questions!

[angelo_wings]

Oooh, I bet it is! We don't have a listing for fictional music groups yet. I'll get on that.

Thank you! Gold stars and cookies all around! :)

Re: I Have Answers to Those Questions!

[glacial_queen]

Harboring Ill Intentions MIGHT be Cruel Intentions? I dunno.

But Fire Opals is by Desmesnes.

It had a threesome.

Re: I Have Answers to Those Questions!

[angelo_wings]

Oooooh. Fire Opals added, and I think you're right on Cruel Intentions, so I'm going to add that, too. Thank you!

Re: I Have Answers to Those Questions!

[thatsamilkshake]

Angelica Desmesnes!

I Have More Meta To Contribute!

[angelo_wings]

Look, we have a pile of gold stars and cookies back here. We're not going to run out.

Re: I Have More Meta To Contribute!

[weetuskenraider]

Going off of the fictional bands thing above, mind if I contribute a few things here?

Fictional Musical Acts
Griffin Silver (Bowie-esque rock star from Strangers in Paradise canon, per SiP discovered by David Bowie himself)
Tommy Gnosis (gender-bendy rock star from Hedwig and the Angry Inch, huge international star who actually stole all his music from . . .)
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (titular band from the above, featuring disgruntled Eastern European band members Jacek, Schlatko, Krzysztof, and Skzsp, backup vocalist Yitzhak, and lead singer Hedwig Schmidt)

Kira Ford (Ranger teammate/friend of Conner McKnight, a pop-oriented singer-songwriter. Sort of like Avril Lavigne but less annoying)
Kylee Styles (also from Power Rangers Dino Thunder canon, a big Britney Spears-type pop star and former friend of Kira Ford's, but much more high profile)

Fictional Actors
Frankie Chang (from Power Rangers Time Force, the PRverse's equivalent of Jackie Chan)

Re: I Have More Meta To Contribute!

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Mentioned in game and part of Zero's Hopeless Savages canon! Her first band was Dusted Bunnies and it's how Peter knew about her and fanboy'd her when they first met. *g*

I Have Comments or Questions About Something Not Covered Above!

[angelo_wings]

Seriously. We bought extra just for this occasion.

Re: I Have Comments or Questions About Something Not Covered Above!

[glacial_queen]

Do you want titles of more fake books? Karla's brought a bunch from Kaeleer that I reference.

Re: I Have Comments or Questions About Something Not Covered Above!

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Does anybody remember the full names of the leads on The Z-Cases (http://fhmeta.wikia.com/wiki/Z-Cases)? I have "Wolf" for Fox Mulder but I know fake-Scully got a name too.

OOC

[angelo_wings]

Woo, meta! ♥

Re: OOC

[glacial_queen]

Props here to not_a_parakeet for filling in a bunch of these for me today!

Re: OOC

[nothornlessrose.livejournal.com]

I should be writing or sleeping instead of trying to make of list of which of these things to introduce my innocent and naive witch to. :D

Re: OOC

[dontvotemeout]

I just wanted to say I looooooooove you for the meta wiki, and not just because I'm running a movie class this semester. :D :D :D
