Mid-Atlantic Area Peeps + Repo! musings

[transemacabre]

As some of you may or may not know, I will be back in MD early next month for Americorps. I would love to get together with anyone in that area and hang. Also, if you're interested miss_bushido and I are planning a Repo!party and going all Rocky Horror with it -- costumes, blue glosticks for zydrate, singing along with the songs, etc. Anyone interested is invited to contact me through AIM.

In other news, I'm sort of dreading the release of the Repo! DVD and the inevitable onslaught of GR/Mary Sue fic. Also, I have a terrible feeling the 14-year-old fanbrats are gonna hate Shilo's guts. "OMFG GR held her hand Shilo is a SLUT and deserves to be GANGRAPED and DISEMBOWELED."

I'm not really that worried about a ton of GR/Mary Sue fic, because if it hasn't happened by now, it's probably not really ever going to happen (aside from say, on FF.net).

I think the limited release and underground status protected Repo! to an extent, since to have seen the movie you almost certainly had to actively search it out. The DVD's gonna open the fandom up to a much wider audience, for good and bad.
