JONATHAN: We're risking everything so that Charles Atlas can get a date? He's going to end up getting us thrown into jail. Or worse. (urgently) Maybe you and I should think about-

ANDREW: Warren's the boss. He's Picard, you're Deanna Troi. Get used to the feeling, Betazoid.

snickfic: Oasis: Liam and Noel Gallagher, text "Some Might Say" (Oasis)

an Oasis anniversary post

In late 2019, I:
- Watched Todd in the Shadows's video on Be Here Now
- Fell in love with "D'You Know What I Mean," opening track of Be Here Now, and listened to it about fifty times via the Youtube music video (you know the one, with the actualfax helicopters)
- Found Cerberusia's Yuletide prompt for Oasis omegaverse
- Listened to their first two albums. I liked the second album a little better, and on the second or third loop of it playing on Youtube in the background (because I hadn't even subscribed to Tidal yet), I went hey, this song's neat, I wonder what it's called? Friends, it was Wonderwall.
- Watched Supersonic, their two-hour documentary/extremely high-end marketing film.
- Watched a bunch of archive interviews on Youtube, read a bunch more. Fell alllllll the way down the rabbit hole. Collected all the links in a giant word doc that I maintain to this day and which formed the basis of the primer I posted a few months later.
- Wrote 5k of Oasis omegaverse porn. (Got an approving comment on it from one of the OG omegaverse writers!!)

Six years!! I can't believe all that's happened since. 2019 was the absolute nadir of their relationship, and now they hug on stage every night while grinning at each other like soppy adoring idiots. (You see what I mean.) I've written almost 120k of fic and stuck around more or less continuously for longer than I've been in any other fandom. I've seen Liam solo three times, Noel once, and Oasis twice. These gigs have taken me to London, Manchester, and Dublin (twice), after only having been to Europe once before, and have led me to meeting up with a bunch of friends while overseas, some for the first time IRL.

Meanwhile the world in general and I personally have gone through a lot of shit that continues unabated. It's been a very long six years.

The weather here has turned wet and cold, just as it was when I first listened to What's the Story Morning Glory on repeat in 2019. I put the album on in car this weekend, and the big wailing guitars and Liam's voice, helped along by the same grim autumn weather in which I first heard these songs, took me straight back to that original thrill of discovery.

We take our joy where we find it. I have found a lot of mine the past few years in this band and especially these two guys.

SPIKE: Singing my song now, are you? You should pay me royalties for that one, or at least get your own tune.

snickfic: (Yuletide)
snickfic ([personal profile] snickfic) wrote2025-10-25 09:16 am

fannish stuff

+ Random icon generator knows what it's about!!

+ For Yuletide I got brave and offered a canon I've been wanting to write for a while, as well as a variety of other goodies. A lot of things I haven't offered before. Shaking things up! However, some of the noms I was especially excited about in the tagset didn't get requested, whomp whomp.

+ I knew not many people saw Red Sonja, but I didn't realize it was a "0 Yuletide offers and the only request is mine" number of people. :(

+ I got an extension on the bulk of my FIAB assignment and swapped part of the remaining for a pinch hit, and they're both due next weekend. I'm over halfway to the minimum on the longer fic (but probably not halfway through the story lolsob) and have a start on the shorter fic. Point being: this weekend I have got to make some words. Overall I have about 5500 words towards my 10k goal, which feels... not terrible, all things considered.

+ Today I'm driving up to the city to see Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein! Exciting!! Del Toro should always be seen on the big screen, and also I'm very into Jacob Elordi and cannot wait to see what del Toro does with him as the sympathetic monster. I wish Netflix was giving it a wider release. There are only two theaters in my entire region showing it. >:(

+ After a month's break, Oasis are in the middle of their very short leg in Asia. They continue to be having a grand old time, it seems. Some evidence:
- Walk-on in Tokyo. So much to say that they're still saying it while literally walking on stage with their hands joined!
- Has anyone ever been as obsessed with their sibling's ass as Liam is with Noel's?
- And he thinks we all should be obsessed with it too! Especially notable because, like, it's barely there. A nearly non-existent ass. Noel Gallagher must sit on SOMETHING but...

Database maintenance

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

Welcome to harlow and goodbye to thenewbuzwuzz!

Posted by sd_herald

Thank you to @Harlow who has volunteered for Herald editor duties. Check out their small-batch hand-crafted Buffyverse newsletter every Sunday! They have already posted twice!


And a special thank you to departing former chief editor @thenewbuzwuzz!! They joined the Herald as an editor in 2017, and took over the chief editor position (from Tuesday editor rahirah) in 2021.
They need to take a break for real life fun and a new full time job. They've been especially helpful in streamlining the Herald process, like the Pinboard. Have a most excellent newslettering retirement @thenewbuzwuzz!


This means we now have an editor for every day of the week, yay! We’re no longer in urgent need of new editors.


If you are interested in joining the crew that puts out one of the longest running (since 2004) fandom newsletters, reach out. We can always use a backup editor or more tumblr rebloggers.


Our contact info is available in the tumblr sidebar and LiveJournal/Dreamwidth profile as always. You can also comment on this post. Cheers!
