RD X Updates

The official site has two interesting updates this week - the chance to win tickets for the last two recordings: http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/news/2012/01/13/win-audience-tickets

And a new teaser video: http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/news/2012/01/13/more-new-photos-and-video-too

Spoilers (of the permitted kind) are trickling through about tonight's recording: Steven Wickham (Lister's GELF bride) was in it in some capacity - he Tweeted this himself. Andrew Ellard wrote something about the ending not being shown to the audience as it hadn't been filmed?!

Last but not least, this community has been mentioned on Twitter! In a discussion with Andrew about the need for a new, more independent fan site, TOS Administrator Seb Patrick Tweeted this: "I think the most active creative output seems to come from the slash fiction LJ community!". :)

I am in the rare position of knowing most of SPN canon without being a fan of it. My sister, whom I have lived with for the past year, watches it and for some inexplicable reason, won't do so anymore unless I'm at home to watch with her. So yeah, I've seen those episodes; since I'm not a fan, I was able to watch them pretty cheerfully, LOL. I would describe my sister's reaction as horrifically amused; she doesn't want them making fun of the fans, but she's glad with them poking fun at themselves as much as they want. (For the record, I thought the meta ep of them playing themselves playing actors was funny. There was no nod to fans except for Misha tweeting everyone, and the numerous pokes at the Jared character's supposedly lavish and self-absorbed lifestyle was hilarious. Especially the alpaca thing.)

Odd that your sister will only watch with you there. I prefer watching alone, because while I like to make comments to the screen, I don't like it when other people do haha!

If Misha tweeted as often as he did in that episode, we would have been pleased. As it is, he lavishes us with two posts a month if we're lucky. He's an evil bastard, but we love him. :D

Eh, I can give or take the SPN fandom; I'll still watch an episode here and there, but I'm not devoted and rabid like I had been the first 3 seasons. Thankfully, I'm not rabid about RD. Maybe a seasoned fan? I'm only a bit fangirly now because I never had anyone to talk to about my love of it until I found you guys. So, thanks for that :)
