OMG I love the Internets

[jedishampoo]

The stuff that lingers on the Internet long after you think you and yours have deleted them...

Please be warned ahead of time that there are some links to some safe AND non-work-safe, NC-17 pics and words below the cut:



1) Back in the day, in 1999 when fanfiction.net had like 40 Star Wars stories, my best-guy-friend Arco wrote what are still probably the grossest and most shocking Star Wars stories ever. (This is when I was writing PG-rated Obi-Wan het.) His stories were so messed up that I had trouble reading some of them (and still do). I think he had like several hundred either hating or loving reviews on his first evil masterpiece, “Psychotic Jedi F**kfest.” But ya had to admire his creativity and use of decent grammar and spelling. (BTW, he also wrote some other good stuff which is still on fernwithy’s Star Wars page and in the TFN archive. At some point I will update my own webpage with some things as well.)

He removed these stories from the web long ago. But apparently they are still cached and being read today! hungrysarlacc, who posts some pretty hysterical lines from Star Wars badfics, featured PJF a week or so ago: Quotes from “bad” Star Wars fanfiction (it’s the one at the top).

2) Arco himself pointed me toward someone who has apparently created fan-art based on the story: NON Work-Safe Picture. The legacy. Sigh.

3) I discovered that a four-year-old picture of me from WorldCon 2001 is on the internet, on Hotornot.com. Here’s me tan and 10 lbs. thinner. (How the heck do I get that off of there?)

4) And a Google search revealed that when I first started posting fanfiction, I put my real name on there. Why, oh why?



So the Internet isn’t as fleeting as one might think. Help!

PS: My new Icon! Quote from Eddie Izzard! Sorta!

How on earth did they get hold of that picture? That's kind of creepy!

(I rated you "Hot"!)

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Oh, I think I know who did it. The problem now is getting it off. When the heck did that go up? :)

Thx for the rating, tho!

[rosiewook.livejournal.com]

I totally put you as hot. An 8.8 is most impressive!

I gave you a 10 also. And I explored the site some. And this is what I found.

To remove your picture, the site says:

"Yes, once you are logged in, you can take yourself out of the photo rating pool by going to the "My Rating" section. There will be an option there to take yourself out of rating. You can take yourself out of the meeting site by going to the "Edit Profile" section. There will be an option there to take yourself out of Meet Me. If you don't see this option, your picture was not approved and is not currently being shown in the Meet Me section.

To remove your photo from the system, click on the "Change/remove photo" link, and then click the button under your photo. If the picture does not appear to go away, hit refresh/reload on your browser."

Of course, since you didn't place it there, you probably can't remove it. I wonder if someone put it there instead of a picture of themselves.

But what I really want to know is, how did you find it there?

OMG, you have no idea how long I've been looking for quotes from Psychotic Jedi F***fest!!! I used "Speederbike I am!" as a sig line on almost every Star Wars board I posted on (including the now defunct Episode3.net, which I was a mod on, heh! Naughty mod! ;-))! Now, to rate you, hehe >;-)

Peace, Ghani

[ghanistarkiller.livejournal.com]

You're only an 8.8?! Huh, you deserve more! ;-) OMG, that illustration!!! I know what my new wallpaper is! Must send it to everyone who has ever asked me what my sig line meant...

Peace, Ghani

LOL! He is so famous! He says he still gets fanmail now and then, for stories that were deleted. Weird. I believe he has acolytes. More than I ever made with my own fanfiction. ;)

I was debating a "Speederbike" icon myself! But I did make an icon from this story he wrote for me once:
Link = http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=8290242&start=8309471

(Someone had taken one of my character names and created Fanon around it, so he wrote an An-Paj story on TFN. Hopefully the wank factor has died down by now, three years later. I really liked the story.)

I laughed till I cried when I saw the fanart. Glad I could reconnect you with the past! :) Yup, you would be the one to read the naughty stories, you!

Thanks, ma'am! (Saw your JC pictures, hair very cute!)

Yeah, makes me want to lose 10 lbs and get a tan again. But I'm too afeared of sunbathing in Nevada.

And I have Qui-Gon hanging out of my backpack! :)

Oh, a friend sent me the link. I'm sure the putting up involved some friends from IUPUI or Indianapolis and/or alcohol in some way, but I really don't remember. The trouble will be finding whatever and whoever's e-mail was used to do it, four/five years ago. It's sort of embarrassing. Actually a lot embarrassing. ;) I don't mind having pictures on my own website. But on a ratings website? ::blushes::

Thanks for the info, though. Maybe if I don't figure it out I'll just write them and say, please?

(The weird thing is, I've had two people write me recently who apparently met me at that Worldcon, saying, do you remember me? Uh, No. They weren't scary e-mails, and I haven't heard back. Jedishampoo was my "badge" name at most cons I've been to.)

But really, I've only now realized how staying the Internet is and how careful you should be. Nothing you take off really stays off.

Bwahahah, he's a phenomenon! I sent the link to my best friend, may_child, who had first introduced me to the now famous line, and I have to concur with her response: "Well, at least the fic's title gives no illusions as to its content. ;-)" Bwahahaha!

I was debating a "Speederbike" icon myself! But I did make an icon from this story he wrote for me once

OMG, that is too funny! The icon made me LMAO! *g*

(Someone had taken one of my character names and created Fanon around it, so he wrote an An-Paj story on TFN. Hopefully the wank factor has died down by now, three years later. I really liked the story.)

Bwahaha, wow! Created some controversy, didn' it?! LOL!

I laughed till I cried when I saw the fanart. Glad I could reconnect you with the past! :) Yup, you would be the one to read the naughty stories, you!

Who, me? 0;-) Heeheehee! Well, you know what my desktop wallpaper is now! (My sister almost snorted a beverage out of her nose when she saw it because I've only ever told her of the fabled fanfic and I think she didn't really believe I wasn't just making it up!)

Peace, Ghani

Wow! Was that ChiCon or the one after? I think I remember you telling me about the PJF story.

You look good now, too, btw. I'd give you a 10 at either point.

I have a little something I picked up at GenCon for you. Could you please email me your current snail address?

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Just to remind you-- you are a sweetheart! ;)

(That pic was Philly 2001 I believe...)

You'll always be teh Ten (10)

K,

You're a 10 in my book though you will forever own me at mortal combat on.

P.S I was going through old email and found a link you sent me figure I would poke around see what was happening.
