Whaaaa?

I just read BuddyTV's interview with Sera Gamble (p. 2) in which she uses the terms squick and meta.  These are pretty much fandom only terms, right?  Or am I sadly mistaken?  Does this mean that Sera is a REAL LIVE fangirl?????  Am I the last one in the world to know this?  Inquiring minds want to know!

And yes, the interview is somewhat spoilery.

HEE. Of course Sera is a fangirl. Look at her eps! They all read like fanfic. That's why we love her so.:-)

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

LOL - that's a good point!

She gave us shirtless Sammy - twice. She's a total fangirl.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

YUM for shirtless Sammy! A thing of utter gorgeousness.

[irishka1205.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes!

Your icon is a work of art.

[irishka1205.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It never fails to make me laugh

I thought those were strictly fandom words, too. Or at the very least sci-fi genre words. So, she probably is a fangirl.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. I thought I might be even more hopelessly out of sync with the world than I feared, lol!

i heard that she hangs out at some of the boards and stuff .. i don't remember where i heard it so i can't prove it but i think she is a real live fangirl

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Yikes, hanging out at some of the boards as a writer must be scary. Not to mention traumatic!! lol

[parisindy.livejournal.com]

no kidding.. i think its why kripke gets so pissy about the fans sometimes

[counteragent.livejournal.com]

what a gorgeous banner!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I love it! It's by aesc.

[bloggingchick.livejournal.com]

I think she probably spends a little too much time at Television Without Pity. LOL Just my humble opinion.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

OMG - TWOP is merciless!! I think I'd shoot myself if I read some of that stuff about my work, lol!

I do know that Sera has published erotica, and I'm pretty sure she's the person who originally described SPN as the "epic Romance" of Sam and Dean. IN the old fashioned sense of "romance" being the thrilling adventures of brave knights and such.

But I'm a fangirl - it's my television-given right to misread and misconstrue.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

That description of romance, as being the adventure of the heart and mind as opposed to a cheesy bodice-ripper reminds me SO much of Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles. Those books spoiled me for all other published fiction. I'm pretty sure they would for you, too. They are incomparable. This review touches on its magnificence:

Six books in total, a hero who is the consummate Renaissance man - brilliant, athletic, artistic - but whose social skills cause everyone to either fall in love with him or try to kill him. Sometimes both.

Anyhoo. The first book is a difficult read. It took me 3 tries before I could do it, but they just keep getting better and better. Sigh. I really should shut up now.

meta doesn't seem TOO fandomy, but squick definitely is. Sera is totally a fangirl. I love her more and more each day. She gave us AHBL!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

AHBL was an excellent eppy, although it did traumatize me greatly. SAMMY!!!!!!

[bigmamag.livejournal.com]

Dude, your icon creeps me out for some reason. Creepy icon is creepy. 0_o

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

This icon has been known to creep people out, too.

[lunaste.livejournal.com]

I think I heard meta before, but those two words aren't really used much outside of fandom, I believe :)
I want to like Sera Gamble, really, but she's also had some serious missteps.

BUT THOSE EPISODE SUMMARIES SOUND FREAKING AWESOME
I, for one, am excited for episode fourteen with all the extreme gayness

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

I love Sera Gamble despite her missteps. &hearts Nekkid, crying Sammy FTW!!

LOL about ep 14. CAN'T FREAKING WAIT!!

[minniemax.livejournal.com]

Meta is commonly used at my office, too (programming), so I don't know about it, but I think Sera is a fangirl for sure *g*

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Yay for fangirls!!! We rock!

:-)

I'm not following the link because I'm avoiding spoilers but I have to say I do really enjoy it when the internets spills out into real life. Every now and then I'll catch someone using a word or phrase that I know is fandom related and I'll be all, a-hah! (only I won't actually say it out loud, otherwise they'd be onto me too). I reckon Sera squees with the best of 'em.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Haha! For sure!!! Squee-ers of the world, unite!!
