And the meta continues not to happen. Today's flavour: Batgirl

There I was, innocently answering a question for karabou, when I realised I was again thinking thoughts that deserved meta -- in this case, about 1988's Batgirl Special and its continued resonance in modern canon.

( Most everyone who's even glancingly familiar with current Gotham comics knows that Barbara Gordon is no longer Batgirl, was shot and paralyzed by the Joker, and now works with the cape crew from her wheelchair as Oracle... )

So, those are my thoughts, such as they are. Now I'm throwing this open: Tell me yours.

( also, my fandom wants to make a paedophile of me )

Tonight's new episode...

Did anybody else's head just explode?

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, or something...

The Jason ficathon deadline is coming up later this month, on 16 August -- Jason Todd's birthday. There was a Tim ficathon back on 19 July to celebrate Tim Drake's birthday.

Dick Grayson has had two different canonical birthdates, and neither of them are coming up next month. My birthday, however, is, and that's a good enough excuse, as far as I'm concerned.

So here's the formal announcement: Tuesday, 7 September 2004 will be the deadline for the Dick Fic-a-thon. (I say deadline, but it's really more a guideline; I'm no good at making deadlines myself. Any time between now and 7 October would do fine.) Stories of all lengths, ratings and pairings (including no pairing) are welcome, as are fanart and manips. Go crazy. Get creative.

Show the world how much you love Dick.

And if I wind up having a ton of fresh Dick goodness to enjoy on or around my birthday... well, bonus.
