5 Things That Happen When You’re Not Watching A Show
There are a few things people take for granted when you come out to them as a sci-fi/fantasy geek. Some of it is just good ol’ prejudice (eg., about the state of your sex life), but some of it can be outright annoying. Because, if you didn’t get it so far, there is stuff you…

The Fanlarp (Full Moon Special #6)
Happy Full Moon! And it’s a thirteenth. And Friday, to add to that – plenty of scary fun to be had in the Moonlight… or anywhere else, for that matter. They say the next Friday Thirteenth Full Moon will be in 2049! So you better take good care to honour this one. Let me add…

Five Simple Signs the Ship Sails for You
I have to admit – I wrote this post for the co-alpha. Because…. well, yeah. I don’t consider myself a shipper – and still I bother her with regular random rants about my favorite – albeit rare – tv show ships. So here’s to all of us “non-shippers” – even we get to sail across the vast…

Lorediving for Larpers
I’m a huge learning geek – especially when the knowledge is “how-to” or, khm, theoretical. Nah, I’ll just say it – I love learning about things I might want to know something about in the future. No matter when the future comes. So diving into a familiar setting’s lore is more like a challenge than a…

8 Smoaky Ways to Kick Ass Without Having to Kick Any Asses
I’m sure the title kinda explains itself – but if not, enjoy this magnificent picture of Felicity Smoak, one of my currently favourite female characters in all of geeky tv. The list was directly inspired by Arrow 2×14 Time of Death – in which Felicity had to learn some of the lessons on her own skin. Disclaimer: Anything…

The Alderaan Glitch (Larp in a Familiar Setting Part #2)
Remember the Star Wars larp I went to last weekend? As it turns out, I was right to have my doubts – but for totally different reasons. The thing is – people are passionate beings (hurray!). And familiar settings are a thing of passion. Which, in the end, means the same for fandoms as for…

The Wolf on Fanfiction
Note: Pic (featured) by trancer21. Pic (above) by phoenixdown. It’s multifandom. Of sorts. Geekery (lovely word, just trying it out), at lest where I’m from, often includes some form of derivative work made by fans of a certain universe (or fandom, to be politically correct). Some larps (like, say, these) can also be seen as a…

What is the Color of Bacta, Again? (Larp in a Familiar Setting Part #1)
Disclaimer: I claim no connection or ownership of any sort on any name you recognize. I’m just a simple geek, trying to make my way in the larpverse. Photos by A. S., map by Zeph. I’m in the middle of getting ready for a larp set in a rather familiar setting – Star Wars, to…

Lack a Reason to Quit a Tv Show?
Here’s just a couple I’ve come by. Lack of characters. The one thing a show cannot live without. If there’s no one to care for – and even agent Ward was not hopeless – why bother watching at all? Lack of script. I admit, this has more to do with crime shows than with regular…

Hooked On The Hood in 5 Easy Steps
Please note: Teeny tiny spoilers for Arrow (through 2×13) available throughout the article. Also, I claim no ownership on any of the photos and/or names mentioned. Linking fest mostly delivers YouTube and IMDB entries. Arrow has been one of the biggest surprises tv has offered me in the past year or two, and I can’t…
