I keep wanting to make a poll with questions like 'WHAT IS THE TRUE LIVEJOURNAL OTP? thebaconfat/squeemu, ladybella/tick_, jantalaimon/evil/draegonhawke, rionaleonhart/crack/dracothelizard, etc.' and 'WRITE A 250-CHARACTER REAL-PERSON FANFIC ABOUT SOMEONE ON YOUR FRIENDSLIST', but I fear that it would be far too creepy. Also, I don't want to give you frightening frightening people any excuse to send me into Silent Hill.

So, instead, I am going to wonder aloud why on Earth I haven't written a Top Gear/Silent Hill crossover involving Zombie Piers Morgan yet. I mean, honestly.

Actually, I have a question for you all. There are two 'fandom injokes' I know of in the Top Gear fandom: Zombie Piers Morgan, and the idea of Jonathan Ross writing terrible Top Gear fanfiction. These are recurring concepts in the fandom, despite the fact that they never appear in 'canon' (which is, of course, real life): Zombie Piers Morgan will pop up in fanfics and discussions; people will write hilariously dreadful fanfiction 'by' Jonathan Ross (in fact, he now has his own journal: wossy60).

Do any of your fandoms have injokes shared by the entire community? What are they? Do you know the origins?

I'd imagine that they might be more likely to develop in fairly smallish fandoms, but I could be wrong.

I DO NOT KNOW HOW I FORGOT ABOUT BONECRUSHER HATING EVERYTHING (http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=27810)! That was started by his movie toy bio stating he hates everything. It may have gotten a little out of hand.

There is also the Church of Waspinator (because Waspinator exploded for our sins. Repeatedly) and the Minicon that turns into a disco ball (Groovinator)! JaAM (http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/JaAm) is a good example. Lots (http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Fandom) of really odd things.


Final Fantasy XI's not quite as profound. We have lolbifrons (http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/bestiary.html?fmob=930) (after a monster with a funny name, and if there's anything else to it, I don't know it), loldrk and loldrg (the job classes Dark Knight and Dragoon, respectively. They have very hard times getting invited into parties - especially Dragoons. Dark Knights have an assortment of jokes about "emo kids" playing them)... Deodorizing! (There is a spell called "Deodorize" that prevents monsters from using scent to detect you. Almost nothing aggros to smell, though, so mostly the white mages just cast it on people to be silly/imply they stink.) Tarutaru panic-motions look like dancing and, yes, we did at least use to get things like this (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=82). Using auto-translate text to form sentences, even when not speaking to anyone who speaks a different language. Valkurm. Valkurm Dunes. "how i mine for fish?"

I will stop now before I hurt someone.
