I've had such a headache trying to get these pictures off my phone. The photobucket app + site makes me want to shoot myself. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I've also saved a bunch of pics and forgotten to write who took them, sooo. Sorry if you see yours without credit. Stating here: I didn't take all of these! I just wanted some that I was also in to post.

I haven't even posted about ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=92.1) farscape_land yet, whoa.
So, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) maverick0324, virkatjol and myself have opened up a Farscape landcomm. The first phase starts July 1, but we wanted to make sure we opened plenty early to get people signed up and pimp it out. Because I think we were all kind of afraid that no one would end up actually wanting to play. But I am THRILLED with the turnout so far. We have almost 40 people. We only opened up two teams to start off with, but if we get 10 more we'll might go ahead and open up a third team before we even start the first phase, which I never thought we'd do so early on.
So, lemme pimp this real quick:

Why I love Ben Browder (emphasis mine):
CinemaSpy: So would you do another sci-fi show after this, or say, "OK, I've done two of them..."?
Ben Browder: Do I have a mortgage? You're damn right I'd do another sci-fi. I could be completely practical about it. Would I do another sci-fi show? Why would I not? Look, if was trying to justify my existence as an actor saying, "I'm a serious actor now," it...I take my work seriously. I take my job seriously. If other people don't, how am I going to convince them? I'll work on a show that has street cred. I'll get on an HBO show where people have to take their clothes off and say "Fuck" every other word and then they'll take me seriously as an actor? "If you show your ass and say 'Fuck', then you're a serious actor." Or am I mistaken? I love the stuff on HBO, don't get me wrong. I'm watching John Adams right now and I think it's fantastic. And they do some quality television. But there's quality television in all sorts of places. And there is this tendency to equate dark with good quality. That's in the drama world.
CinemaSpy: I guess I was trying to be nice.
Ben Browder: You were trying to say you should do something other than science fiction.
CinemaSpy: No, I was trying to say are you worried about getting typecast, but I didn't want to say that.
(...)
CinemaSpy: I guess what I was driving at, and I hear this time and time again, there is a perception in Hollywood... I talked to a cinematographer from The Golden Compass last week and he said he had a hell of a time getting that gig because it was like, "Well, you've done this kind of thing and you've done that kind of thing. You're a sci-fi guy, you're not a fantasy guy." There's that mindset.
Ben Browder: This is bullshit. This is like when people say, "No. No we don't want you, we want someone else." The answer is, "No." But now they've got to have a reason why they said, "No." Robert Downey Jr. Iron Man. Is he now a sci-fi actor or is he an action hero actor? I mean no because you're going to say he's done all this other stuff. It really is just that's what I've done that I've been noticed in to this point. I'm lucky that I've been noticed at all. There's a lot of actors that will never even get the chances that I've had, and certainly won't have the fun that I've had doing what I've done. I'm a very lucky individual and I'm in no way thinking, 'Boy, I need to do something other than sci-fi.' I'm sure that as a business decision maybe someone would think that. But from where I sit, if they came to me tomorrow and offered me the next Alien... I said, "This is the next Alien movie," or, "This is going to be the next Blade Runner. I can't do it. It's sci-fi." Are you crazy? You know, if Ridley Scott came to you and said, "I know you don't want to do sci-fi, but I've got this thing..." you realize you would do it in a heartbeat.
I clipped out some bits so it wouldn't be tl;dr but you can read the whole article here... it's brilliant.

Once again, a joint effort by me and Mav, and this time most of the pictures came from her. You can tell by how much more awesome they are than the ones in my previous post.

Oh, Ben. Way to ship both Cam/Vala and Claudia/yourself in the same statement. This is why you're my favorite.
"... I used do that on the set of Stargate all the time, any time he had a scene with Claudia ... I'd daydream... I'm Michael Shanks, I'm gonna be in that scene... and the scene will be different. I had - I had this ongoing argument with the producers on Stargate about the Vala and Daniel relationship. Probably not the one you think. I said, well first I said, look, if he's not interested Mitchell definitely is, and then I said he can't keep saying no to this girl, because... he's not supposed to be gay! [something about him being a straight guy]. How is he saying no to Vala? I mean, they came up with every justification possible but I would watch the scene and Daniel would walk in and see Vala there in some little slinky red outfit and... he would say no?!? I just couldn't wrap my head about it.
I actually had a similar argument with the Farscape producers when they said 'well, I don't think that Crichton and Aeryn would get together'. I walk in on Claudia in the first season... they ain't no way... he's a guy, she's a girl. That's what you get. When you put the leads together it's disaster, it's the end of the series. No, it's not! Put them together, take them apart, put 'em together...
But the Stargate guys weren't having it. He's a military man - so what? You think the guys on shore leave are saying no?"

I'm rewatching Farscape now seriously for the first time since I watched Stargate last year. I remembering why I really love Farscape and realizing that I really don't love Stargate. I like Stargate, sometimes, and I love Stargate fic because fic can fix everything that's wrong with a show but I really wish there weren't so much about Stargate that I feel needs fixing.
Farscape, on the other hand, gives me everything I want. There are no "Whoa, did that really happen?!" moments watching Stargate. A character can have a life-changing emotional/traumatic experience one episode and by the next is perfectly recovered and it's never mentioned again. Relationships are only potential, something the show hints at but doesn't commit too because, oh my god, they might have to do some character development if they did that!
Whereas Farscape is all about these people and their lives and how they change. It's character development done perfectly and expertly. All of these people are flawed. They're not heroes, they're not even nice some of the time. There are no reset buttons in their lives. If someone dies, they die. If they make the wrong decision, they live with it.
And now with the help of maverick0324, this post has been officially declared a Farscape love meme. Complete with shiny graphic:

I'm going to steal this off of lilferret.
For the first 15 commenters (limit 1 per customer, cheeky little monkies) leaving me a starting sentence, I will write you a fic. If you'd like you can also provide me the pairing you'd like.
To try and make sure that I actually get these written, I am going to limit this to LOTRIPS, SG-1, Farscape, and SG-1 RPS. (Special exceptions might be made if you have a request you know I've written before, but I reserve the right to say no if the muses aren't working.)
