Mmm, summer treat.

Anyone want to read a screenplay of a movie that was never made?

Of course you do. Why? Because the screenplay was written by Neil Gaiman and is for the book Good Omens which if you haven't read it already, I insist you go out and buy it.

Some kind people have kindly scanned in the entire screenplay, along with Neil Gaiman's foreword and discussion of it. There are multiple posts of the scans, all neatly gathered together and ordered at nifeandaccurate.

And if you're not into GO? Bad, bad you. But I expect that you might like to check out the MsScribe wank, which is an absolutely enthralling tale of what's possibly one of the biggest fandom fake-outs in history. If it's true, then someone managed to fool pretty much all of the HP fandom for years. If not, then some charity is going to receive $1,000 courtesy of the girl who is posting the saga chapter by chapter. Either way, it's a good waste of four-five hours, longer if you discuss it with friends.

My recommendation? Find a friend on IM. Give them the link. Read together. Chat together. Be extremely OMGWTFBBQ?! together. Because dude, regardless of what she actually did, it's kinda freaky-cool to think that anyone is capable of pulling off a hoax like that and avoiding getting outed for so long. It's also scary, though -- was the last troll you ran into one of your friends?And I want the author to be MsScribe, just for the irony value.

Edit: Okay, and if you're not clued in about GO or HP in which case I wonder what rock you're living under there's always fake comic covers. Click. Even if you don't give a damn about comics, these actually make a really important feminist point about the sexualization and depiction of women in media, especially the All Star Batman & Robin. Warning for er, clothed man bits, which make them not necessarily worksafe but certainly rather amusing.

Since you're linking amusing things, might I suggest Superdickery.com?

...

It's about Superman. Quite witty. Now what were you thinking? XD

I heart Superdickery. XD But, unfortunately, since I already knew what it was, you couldn't catch me out with it :P

*shall link to it in her next public post*

I don't have the time so I haven't read the whole of the msscribe story, but you know what would be really funny? If you were msscribe :p

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

That would be way, way too amusing. XD

[harmonybunny114.livejournal.com]

NO IT WOULD NOT! I'm still scarred from the diabolique fiasco! SCARRED!!!

The other being that you play too many games and I take things too personally? :p

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

You need to KH? What's that? XD And yes, GO ROCKS!
