la ship meme, part the second

neotama asked for my (comics) Flash ships, but I have only one (WALLY/LINDA FOREVER, OK?). So we're going with DCAU instead.

My M/F OTP: Bruce/Selina. Of course they're my DC ship to end all ships, in every universe and medium. There are Batfamily fans who don't love Batman, but I really, really do, and I love Catwoman... just a little bit more. Batman the Animated Series and their relationship on the show are the bedrock of how I see them, and how I ship them. Bruce/Selina, you guys. Do I need words!?

My M/M OTP: ... I guess you can see my guilty pleasure ship for this. I don't have many m/m ships in DCAU.

My F/F OTP: Kara/Courtney. Yes, based on one episode of JLU - I ship it like burning. This would be it. Maybe this counts as a crack OTP, but they're adorable. (PS. "Supergirl can melt you with her eyes!")

Also, Helena/every woman in the DCAU. Sorry Vic, you've got to share. Ok wait, DCAU Helena/Babs, y/y?

My OT3: Shayera/Mari/John. I think a good 75% of all love triangles would be best solved in a threesome, and this one, maybe most of all. Why should Shayera and Mari fight over John, when they'd work so well together, all three of them. And you know... it would totally be hot.

My endgame OTP: Diana/Barda. Based mostly on the absurdly titled Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. They're simply the best of the best, and like... nice too. I have this fantasy of their doing the whole domestic thing, interrupted only by international super-crises and matters of state.

My original OTP: Bruce/Selina, obvs.

My crack OTP: It's DCAU. So many crackships. Wally/Tala. Wally/Giganta. Harley/Dick. Krypto/my heart.

My guilty pleasure OTP: Bruce/Wally. Yeah, um. Bruce totally likes Wally, like, a lot. And there's some really hot fic. *ducks*

My anti-OTP: Clark/Bruce. *hiss spit yowl, various angry cat noises* Better as friends. This ship makes no sense to me, and breaks up two ships I've loved since childhood.

question about Colleen and Misty

There are a couple of occasions I can think of where Misty says something like, "I love that crazy white girl." (I think in the Fraction run, and somewhere else). But Colleen is of course biracial and was raised in Japan - so what's up with the erasure? As if Danny Rand isn't problematic enough...

And on a related note - how is Colleen not getting more attention from writers? idgi

inception beta?

Sorry for being spammy this week, but--anyone up for betaing a short Inception story with some supernatural and horror elements? I'm not yet finished the first draft, but I'd love to get someone to read over what I've got so far...

change in LJ comm maintainership

In case you haven't seen the latest News Post, here's the relevant part:

Community owners
In order to improve community management, LiveJournal is introducing the role of 'owner' for communities. The owner of a community is the only maintainer who will have the authority to remove other maintainers, rename the community, or delete the community. Over the next few days, community owners will be determined. In most cases, the user who created the community will be the community owner. For communities created after today, the user who creates the community will automatically be the owner of the community. For communities created prior to today, the community owner will be determined as follows:

* For communities with a single maintainer, that maintainer will be automatically selected as the owner.
* If the community has multiple maintainers, the user who created the community will be made the owner, assuming the user is still a maintainer and has been active on LiveJournal within the last three months.
* If the community has multiple maintainers and the user who created the community is no longer a maintainer, then the current maintainer who has been a maintainer the longest will be the owner (if that can be determined and the user has been active on LiveJournal in the last three months).
* If the system is unable to determine who has been a maintainer the longest, an election poll will be created. The current maintainers will be emailed a poll link so they can choose the community owner. Only the maintainers who have been active on LiveJournal within the last three months will be eligible to be made owner. Once all maintainers have voted in the poll, the maintainer with the most votes will be made the owner. If three weeks pass and not all maintainers have voted, the maintainer with the most votes at that time will be made the owner. If there's a tie at the end of three weeks, the poll will remain open until one maintainer has a majority.

Please note that the ability to add and remove community maintainers was disabled yesterday in preparation for this new management role. For all communities, once an owner is determined automatically or selected through a poll, the maintainer list will be unlocked again.

Definitely useful for some of the wankier comms. And something to keep an eye on, for those of you who are listed as maintainers of comms that you no longer participate in.


Oh, also LJ now has games. lolol
