The challenge of NaBloPoMo for me is making only one post a day.

[emmagrant01]

1. I don't think I have to restrict it though, right? I think it means at least one post a day. I've seen some people saying that they're struggling to find something to post about, but I seem not to have a problem with that. :-P

2. So, WTF Faith Hill? From the CMAs last night:

Watch on YouTube

Her publicist has apparently said she didn't know she was on camera and that she was joking. Don't those two things seem contradictory? Hmmm...

3. Have you ever Mary-Sued yourself into a fandom dream? I dreamed I was in a Buffy episode last night. I was totally a Mary Sue, too -- helping Buffy kick ass, giving Willow tips on magic, making out with Spike... I was a little mortified when I woke up. But I have to admit I liked it. ;-)

I love the way she lifts up her arms thinking that they said her name, and then she realises that they didn't. Hahahahahaha. :D

And sure she knew she was on camera. Don't they usually do that at award shows? :)

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I know -- how could she not know? It's not like she doesn't know how these things work. How could you miss the big honkin' camera in front of you, waiting to catch your reaction? It's just... weird.

I've got this little running fantasy of an entire third season of Supernatural where I'm the new female co-lead that doesn't suck. Of course, she also has super powers, but hey, it's my dream, yeah?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. :-)

I think that's where fanfic comes from, on some level. At least, mine started with daydreaming as a kid, and often included Mary-Sueing myself into a story.

[lauramcewan.livejournal.com]

I half wonder if it wasn't meant as a kid to Carrie, if they'd been giving each other a fun hard time about being up for the same award. I guess I like the benefit of the doubt. XD

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I hope so. I don't know much about Faith Hill, but I'd never heard she was a diva or anything. Still, it's hard to believe she'd do that on camera. Stars usually go out of their way to look gracious in public.

2 - Oh Faith. Woopsie! That's bad form. *snickers* Well, at least we finally got to see an honest reaction to hearing that you've lost. I didn't watch last night, was she already back stage?

3 - Yes! Though I'm not going to admit how cheesy I am.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I have dreams like that more often than I'd like to admit. but you know? I love them! They're fun. ;-)

[juushika.livejournal.com]

Maybe Mary Sueing is like masturbation. There's nothing shameful about doing it in private—but you really shouldn't do it in public.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

LOL, true! It's definitely a very personal thing, I think. Especially if you're older than 15...

I had a dream the other night that I was best buds with Dan Savage and I went to Seattle to visit him, but he was being boring and doing nothing but working so Terry (his husband) took me to a concert, but of course I don't know what Terry looks like so my brain decided that he looked like...Austin Scarlett. O__O

(I recently found out what he looks like, so hopefully this won't happen to me again)

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I love those dreams. :-)

[madlori.livejournal.com]

I know. I have a total non-sexual crush on Dan Savage and want to be his best friend anyway, so it was a complete Mary Sue fantasy...except with real people.

[gryfindormia.livejournal.com]

Faith Hill, le fuck? Entitlement bitch much?

I've Mary-Sued myself into tonz!1 of dreams before, I'm not ashamed to say I love it. Granted, I'd never transcribe the experience, it'd sound like some gawdawful ffn shit, but as far as solely personal enjoyment is concerned, it's a blast. My favorites are where I get to be the Hermione doppelganger in Slytherin and help Draco sneak out some of Snape's reserves, heh.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think that's it -- transcribing it into a fic would make for a pretty awful story. Besides, who would want to read about my Mary Sue fantasy? ;-)

[gryfindormia.livejournal.com]

Besides, who would want to read about my Mary Sue fantasy?

If it involved midgets and table tops I might be interested. ;)

3) OMG you're Jonathan! :)

I heard about #2 on the radio this morning. Yeah, so not faking. There goes her Ms. Perfect Country image.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

OMG you're Jonathan!

LOL! And now I'm wondering if there's some good super!Jonathan/Spike fic out there...

[hominysnark.livejournal.com]

From what I've heard about Faith Hill, I'm going with the joking thing--I think it might have been a play on the Kanye West diva show from a week or so ago.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I hope it was a joke. Otherwise, yikes. :-P

Heehee

[kagyakusha.livejournal.com]

That is one funny clip.

And it's ok to Mary-Sue yourself for Spike. Provided you don't actually write it down and subject anyone else to it. ^^ (mentioning it in passing in your lj does not count as subjecting others) Who hasn't had that fantasy?

Re: Heehee

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Hee! That's what fantasies are for, right? ;-)

[jgracio.livejournal.com]

Personally either Faith Hill was joking or she's more real than everybody else in these things...

"Oh, I'm real happy that other person won and not me, seriously, would I lie to you?"

Yeah, right. :D

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I hope she was joking. :-P

[dramedy.livejournal.com]

I had a Mary Sue dream, with David Tennant...hee hee..yeah. Those are awesome.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_theduchess/]

I've SO had Mary Sue dreams. Actually, SHH don't tell, but way back when I first got into fanfiction- this was MIDDLE SCHOOL- I even wrote Mary Sue fic. Its like my skeleton in the closet.

[ms-mindfunk.livejournal.com]

If she didn't know she was on camera, why did she run off camera so fast after making an ass out of herself?

I don't think I ever told you that I love Buffy too, btw. I started watching when my middle one was in preschool, when F/X started showing 2 reruns every morning back to back. He used to call it "The Fighting Show". :D

[dreambastion.livejournal.com]

I have Mary Sue dreams all the time... lol They are almost a guilty pleasure :)

Re: Faith...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I cant believe she got caught. Thats great!
