I am declaring today a skip day.

I'm knackered, I have no brain power at all and am planning to go to bed at the same time as my nine year old which is 7.30 which is in just under an hour and boy does that seem a long time to have to stay up.

I'll do an extra day on the end, 'k?

Dear flist: I have 6 hours of The Prisoner sitting on my DVR at home, along with however many other hours of TV I normally watch. I will not get to watch it until I get back, at which point I will have many other things I could spend my time on.

My question is, as someone who has never seen the original, is the remake worth it? It's got Ian McKellan, who almost makes it worth it in and of himself for me. However, I've been hearing not-so-good things about the remake, albeit from fans of the original, to the point where I'm not sure even Sir Ian will be able to save it. Should I bother trying, or just delete from the DVR unseen?

(Star Wars fandom, don't ever say I don't give you pressies.)

On the AO3, there now exist fandom titles for:

Star Wars (Comics)

Star Wars (Video Games)

For all of the book series' various eras, using http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_books as a reference:
- Star Wars: Sith Era - Various
- Star Wars: Rise of Empire Era - Various
- Star Wars: Rebellion Era - Various
- Star Wars: New Republic Era - Various
- Star Wars: New Jedi Order Era - Various
- Star Wars: Legacy Era - Various

For the films:

The synonym fandom titles for Star Wars Original Trilogy are currently:
# Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
# Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
# Star Wars: A New Hope
# SW:ANH
# ANH
# Star Wars Episode V: Empire Strikes Back
# Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
# A New Hope
# The Empire Strikes Back
# Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
# Return of the Jedi
# SW:RotJ
# RotJ
# SW:ESB
# SW:TESB
# ESB

I am currently looking at the 84 works that had been tagged by their authors into the Star Wars fandom to figure out if we can make Star Wars a synonym for Star Wars Original Trilogy temporarily, because currently there is only one work in any of the synonyms of Star Wars Original Trilogy, because that work was tagged into the Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi fandom initially by its author (full disclosure: that was me). All of the existing characters and pairings tags have now been untangled, and the fandom tag Star Wars is now a temporary synonym for Star Wars Original Trilogy.

As soon as we get metatagging capability, Star Wars will be a separate tag which encompasses all of the component Star Wars fandoms under its umbrella, so to speak... all of the movies and expanded universe tie-ins and books and videogames and tv shows and whateverthehellelse... and we'll all be able to breathe a little easier.

The synonym fandom titles for Star Wars Prequel Trilogy are currently:
# The Phantom Menace
# Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
# Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
# Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
# Star Wars (TPM)
# Star Wars Episode 3 - Revenge of the Sith
# Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
# Revenge of the Sith
# Star Wars: Attack of the Clones
# Attack of the Clones
# SW:AotC
# AotC
# SW:RotS
# RotS
# SW:TPM - Fandom (this is a slight glitch that we'll have to deal with tomorrow related to when the rake process rakes; there is also currently a freeform tag TPM which should ultimately possibly be a fandom tag synonym instead, but I'm not sure, since it's being used as a timeframe-type freeform, like pre-ANH or pre-TPM)
# Phantom Menace

I'm still wrangling character and pairing names, but I think we've got the fandom titles sorted out, and we're working on the character and pairing names for the movies which had already been uploaded into the AO3 are now wrangled. The Expanded Universe character and pairing details will come later. Thank you for your patience as the wranglers wrangulate.

1. Billiam told me that we're getting rid of our temp-who's-worked-for-us-for-over-a-year. This sucks. He's all trained in and only about 25% murder-worthy.

2. ( Next Iron Chef spoiler )

3. I'm being forced to spend Thanksgiving at my brother's. And my parents coerced the invitation out of my sister-in-law. Wow. This is going to be so. much. fun.

4. That blast from the past email that dropped into my inbox a couple weeks ago? SO glad I didn't answer it. Some people nevereverever change.

5. Also glad that Optional Details Are Optional.

Dear god but James is a bit vapid. And that Oz Clarke gives him a few looks. Not that I blame him.

But the faces... Lord the faces he pulls. I haven't stopped laughing all day what with the anon ship war hilarity, James dressed as "a rover customer", and James attempting to speak French...

And he's got a nice bottom hiding under those clothes.

And really, the current temporary AO3 glitch is not related to the Star Wars Holiday Special, I swear.

(Don't ask. Tag wrangler humor.)
