Chatter Post

Cabin Pressure Chatter Post One


Please see the most recent MOD NOTE and ADDENDUM


(updated 5 July)


Good evening ladies and gentlemen (and good day to you too, inhabitants of the other side of the world). As always - this isn't a captain speaking but I come bearing news nonetheless.

It has been brought to my attention today(/night) by our good friend OxfordTweed, that a Chatter Post might work quite well for our fandom.

I'm inclined to agree with him.


As such, here you have a brand-spanking-new post to chatter, Brit-pick, ask questions, debate, gossip, gush and generally indulge in any fannish activity that does not fall under the category of posting or filling prompts. I hope you all enjoy it

The usual guidelines apply, but mostly:

-  Please be respectful to one another.

-  Don't bash other (non)anon's comments/questions/ideas/etc.

-  Have fun

Now go forth, chat amongst yourselves and enjoy. I am of course on stand, so if any problems arise, feel free to drop me a line.

And if you stumble across any plot bunnies here, please just drop them off home at the Prompt-Post, the rest of the herd will be overjoyed to meet them.


Or as they say in Limerick

It's been brought to my attention we are needing
A place for discussion, not reading
I hope this post will do
I'll leave the rest to you
And Beware of the plot bunnies breeding

Sorry if the poem is rubbish - I literally haven't written one since grade five.


REALLY IMPORTANT ADDENDUM



According to numerous Child Safety laws it is illegal to provide pornographic material to minors. Seeing that the majority of the stuff we have here is rather adult in nature, this Meme is consequently an 18+ zone. Failing to comply to this rule could result in the Meme getting shut down. So if you're here and you're under 18 please back button now.

Please do not post anything regarding minors in a sexual situation. It really doesn't matter how tasteful or crass it is, there are laws that classify that sort of thing as child pornography and as such, I'm afraid we're going to have to go with the attitude that safe is better than sorry.

It really is VERY important that these rules are upheld as the consequences are severe.

Other than that - go crazy guys. Any problems please just message me and I'll try my best to work it out.

Isn't it 'six of one, half dozen of the other?'

Yes, obvious typo is obvious, and corrected while you were typing this. :p

I dunno. Seems obvious, but after I saw someone say the other day that the Edwardian era was in the middle ages, it's easy to think that people believe anything they type. *headdesk*

It would take a special person indeed to think that 72 is the same thing as 12.

I could see someone confusing terminology and thinking that the Edwardian era refers to the period under one of the medieval King Edwards, but if the person knows anything that happened during the actual Edwardian Era and still places it in the middle ages... I got nothin'.

Oh, it was a lengthy conversation with either a successful troll or a complete idiot.

They also kept saying that vegetarians didn't exist until a few decades ago.


Damnit, the internet has made me all jaded and cynical. D:

Have you ever noticed how often "successful troll" is actually synonymous with "complete idiot"? It's either extreme method acting or you just have to be an idiot in the first place to devout that much energy to trolling. (So even if he really did know that Jains have been vegetarian forever, he's still a complete idiot.)

I have to agree with this assessment. Only an idiot would think these things to begin with.

By 12 I mean 6.

Dammit.

(I'm on my fourth day of insomnia here. I'm afraid to even look over what I've written today; I'm sure it's a minefield of typos.)

I think that deserves an Internet, right there. Just on principle.

How would you like yours delivered?

On the rocks with a shot of vodka, please.
