(Writercon post coming soon, really.)

Till then: you guys! The Mutant Problem: A Photographic Essay by Peter Parker by xenokattz. In The New York Times. The thumbnails are a tad slow to load, but so worth it. Is it meta? fic? art? meta-comic? meta-minority? I don't even know.

But it blew my mind.

It's nice to remember how fucking creative fandom can be. I LOVE IT.

Isn't it just? That ate up my entire morning, but it was so so worth it.

LOL. Also, can I say, Ellen Page as Kitty Pryde: MADE OF WIN.

This was made for you, wasn't it? It's just amazing!

MICHAELA CONLIN :D

And yeah, it was off my prompt for the marvel_crossing fest, but I didn't expect quite this scale of awesome! It's like seventeen christmases came all at once. This is why fandom is a power for good.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Exactly! It's like... social commentary, amazing art, and just... the power of interstitial collage. I will look at this on days when fandom is full of fail.

She was Kitty in the movies, wasn't she?

I <3 Ellen Page so much. This thingy? So cool. And how did they get all the NYT page stuff going on there? I thought I was on the real site.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Oh man, you're right. I tend to, uh, block out that third movie. Anyway, I ♥ her.

I had a moment of... wait, how did they get this on the NYT site too! Among other things, it fans web design too! *is in awe*

WOW.

Thanks for passing the link along!

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it!

This is brilliant! I'm printing out the whole thing, just in case it disappears due to copyright issues. The tone in the profiles is perfect for the Times, not to mention the design.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the tonal quality is superb.

[fmanalyst.livejournal.com]

It reads exactly like the profiles that appear in the Times, and I love the headlines listed under "Past coverage."

[elainasaunt.livejournal.com]

God, I hope it doesn't disappear. This is just amazing. The details! And I haven't even started to read it yet. Thanks so much for passing along.

I know! Also, it let me find out about Soorya; I'd no idea that the x-men had a muslim superhero with them now.

[laughingacademy.livejournal.com]

Ooh, thank you so much for reccing that!

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

NP. I just loved it.

Geekdom just became the dominant culture.
