  • JUMP WISH-LIST Rules/Notes: Settings
    JUMP WISH-LIST Rules/Notes: ● This list is solely for settings that don’t have jumps made yet. ● No jumps you want to see redone, I’m not going to go down this path. If there is any such setting mentioned on list, then as soon as it is pointed out to me, I’ll remove it. ● Settings already claimed will be either removed from list or have claim noted. I’ll accept info about claims only from the jump-maker who claimed it. ● I hope to maintain this list in such way that /tg/, SB and QQ communities can all check it out. If you don’t like something on it, just ignore it. After all, if jump is being made doesn’t mean you have to use it. Furthermore, we all have different tastes, be mindful of that. ● Fanfics will be listed separately. Some people like the idea of such jumps, some don’t. I might end up removing this section altogether just because it is so difficult to decide if certain fanfic would be acceptable for being turned into jump or not. ● Settings will be listed alphabetically within a genre, by their official name. Any other names will be included after that one. Please include genre and medium with any suggestions (e.g. KultHorror - Tabletop RPG; The Culture - Science Fiction - Novel) ● Rule of thumb – recommend settings that you would want to visit in order to interact with characters and storylines, not in order to get specific perks/powers/items. Settings: 0-9 ● 100, The (SF - TV Series) ● 300 (movies) ● 3x3 Eyes (manga) ● 7th Heaven (TV series) ● 9 (movie) ● 100 Bullets (vertigo) ● 11eyes (VN/anime) ● 2 Broke Girls (TV Series)

  • Libertycon 24
    LibertyCon 24 July 15-17, 2011 Chattanooga, TN LibertyCon Rules ATTENDEES 17 YEARS OLD AND UNDER: All convention attendees who are 17 years of age or younger must be accompanied by a LEGAL GUARD- IAN. A Legal Guardian is a person 21 years of age or older who will take financial and legal responsibility for the minor and will sign for each minor person for which he/she is responsible. A parent or Legal Guardian must accompany children under 7 years of age at all times. BADGES: Badges must be worn in plain sight above the waist at all times. BATHING: Remember, “If in doubt, take a bath!” Your fellow attendees will appreciate your courteous actions. DRINKING AGE: To get a drinking badge you must produce a VALID military ID or Drivers License with your picture on it to prove that you are at least 21 years of age. Minors caught drinking at LibertyCon will be hung, drawn, quartered, and thrown out of the convention. Also, WE WILL CONTACT YOUR PARENTS AND YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RETURN TO FUTURE LIBERTYCONS! EJECTION FROM THE CONVENTION: If you are ejected from LibertyCon because of violation of the convention rules or Tennessee State Law, your attendance fees will not be refunded. LOST BADGE POLICY: If you lose your badge at the convention, you will have to purchase another one at the full admission price of $50. We are sorry to take this rough stance, but incidents with people (Not Fans) purchasing a replacement badge to give/sell to a friend at a reduced price only increases the cost of the convention for real fans and this is the only way we can curb it.

    Geek Media and Identity Honors Thesis in Sociocultural Anthropology April 2010 Rachel Yung 1 Thanks to: Professor Matthew Hull, who has provided invaluable advice throughout the writing of this thesis; Professor Erik Mueggler, who has been a constant source of support and encouragement; Deborah Jones, who has been both prompt and patient; my parents, who have gone above and beyond the call of parental duty; and Pavel Borisov, who put up with me whenever I started panicking and introduced me to the magic of 4chan. 2 Index Introduction Demographic Background Chapter 1: Method Media Analysis and Geek Ethnography Choosing Geek Media Chapter 2: Heroes The Good Guy The Bad (but not really) Guy The Nice Guy Chapter 3: Villains The Bully The Collective The Inhuman Chapter 4: Women The Professional The 'Professional' The Girlfriend The Ideal The Woman Warrior Chapter 5: Key Concepts Technology Data 3 Ethics Conformity Chapter 6: Case Study Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog Conclusion: The Future of Geek Media Works Cited Bibliography Appendix A: Glossary Appendix B: Timeline Appendix C: Sample Interview 4 Introduction “It's like being addicted to something that doesn't really exist, because the world that exists is insufficiently interesting” (Personal interview, December 18, 2009). In many ways, I have been researching for this thesis since I was thirteen. I first discovered the internet and literary fandom in 2002 when my parents refused to allow me to read a book about wizards, in large part due to their concern about my avid interest in fantasy and science fiction; in a fit of adolescent pique, I joined a fan forum for Diane Duane's So You Want to Be a Wizard series.
