Well, at least it’s not on Amazon

Matt Ruff, a juror for the James Tiptree, Jr. Award, recently posted the long list of nominees for the award. On the list is a Harry Potter/CSI fanfic, Emily Brunson’s Arcana. And the cherry on this sundae? It’s Snape/Stokes MPREG. The story didn’t win, or even make the shortlist, but naturally, chaos insues.

Author Elizabeth Bear comments and the posts turns into yet another debate on fanfic legitimacy – and again. More takes from Cathexy, Coffeeandink, and Ruff himself.

Anyone not want in on this thing?

Temuera Morrison will be among the stars at Disney’s Star Wars Weekends. He hasn’t been contacted for the TV series but – of course – talks about it anyway:

“If there’s anything there, it would be great of the adventures of Jango,” Morrison enthused. “We better put that in George’s mind. A weekly series about Jango Fett getting out there in the universe trying to make a living looking for some bounty — being the Clint Eastwood of space.”

And the HD geeks cried out in terror…

Apparently the OOT DVDs won’t be anamorphic-enhanced, whatever that means. The Digital Bits thinks this is bad news for the sales figures. I think that most folks have to plug “anamorphic enhancement” into Google just to figure out what the hell they’re talking about, so I wouldn’t be too worried. I don’t think anyone’s expecting the things to be as pimped and pampered as the 2004 releases. That’s not the point.

Speaking of the DVDs, T’bone has a varied assortment of half-baked theories and AICN weighs in.
