Sunnydale Conspiracy Icons

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

I've made a user icon for sdaleconspiracy, hopefully others will make more. Not sure how to make them available to everyone, I think it's something you have to sort out for yourself in your settings but I'm not 100% sure since I've never managed a community before.

We have five more free user icon slots, if anyone feels like making more please do!

Reminds me to ask if anyone wants to become another community manager (or whatever it's called) - preferably someone who knows how these things work!

SQUEEE!

I’m totally over the moon, guys! I just heard back from Dr. Gil Grissom, our country’s preeminent forensic entomologist. Here’s his letter:

Dear Ms. Elementalv:

I received your letter of the 20th, as well as your letters of the 18th, 17th, 14th, 13th and the two you wrote on the 12th. Please let me assure you that there is no such insect as the “she-mantis” you described to me. Even if there were, it’s doubtful that she would restrict herself to virgin males, even in this day and age of disease.

At this time, I must respectfully request that you stop writing to me. If you don’t, I will be forced to obtain a restraining order.

Gil Grissom
Supervisor, Crime Scene Investigation

Did you see that? Proof positive that the she-mantis exists. I mean, sure, he had to *claim* that she doesn’t, but that’s just because he works so near Area 51 that all his communications are monitored. All you have to do is read between the lines to see confirmation.

Wilkins Photo - an update

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Yesterday while discussing the Wilkins assassination I posted a picture I'd found that showed someone who looked a little like Mayor Wilkins at a historically important event. On taking a closer look I've reluctantly come to the conclusion that it's a fake; the lighting doesn't look quite right, and I've found what appears to be the original picture on line.

The "Wilkins Photo" - The original

The interesting thing about this is that I found the fake while looking at various Sunnydale conspiracy web sites yesterday, but it has vanished today. I'm not 100% sure where I found it, and although I've gone back to every site in my browser history it isn't there. It's fortunate that I copied it, added the circle, and posted it to my own archive, rather than simply linking to it - but the down-side of that is that I'm now not sure where it came from.

This suggests two possibilities
1: Someone is having a little joke.
2: Someone is attempting to discredit this community.

I think that we're all familiar with similar examples of fakery - the classic but now discredited "Dragon attacking Los Angeles" photo comes to mind - and I think that for our own protection we ought to start keeping tabs on them. I'd suggest posting any others you find as comments to this post, or as new posts. But please use livejournal cuts or links as above, not everyone has (or trusts) a fast internet connection.
