==A Post So Inspiring, It Generated a Filk==
(ttto Leslie Fish's "Toast to Unknown Heroes") by Maureen O'Brien
: "One newcomer posts a challenge, and he hears a trumpet call:
: "Come share your work with all the world, oh, come and join us all!"
: But others hear derision that could make their visions stall:
: "The best that you have done, and do, is just a belly-crawl!"
: Honeyed words will catch more flies -- no surprise -- just be wise.
: Honey taste makes learning sweet -- dug-in feet cause defeat.
: Honey makes the medicine go down more pleasantly;
: Sour's killfiled presently -- Filter Thread -- Mark Thread Read.
: Some young and fledgling writer pokes her head out, posting loud:
: "My life and work's not worthless! This is my art, and I'm proud!"
: The newcomer hears stubbornness, and the mob act of a crowd.
: With equal stubbornness he posts...the rest, I'll kindly cloud.
: Honeyed words will catch more flies -- no surprise -- just be wise.
: Honey taste makes learning sweet -- dug-in feet cause defeat.
: Honey makes the medicine go down more pleasantly;
: Sour's killfiled presently -- Filter Thread -- Mark Thread Read.
: Oh, the real point is a point with which no one would disagree --
: That noone will turn pro merely by posts in this ng.
: All the rest is mess and haughtiness, off-topic as can be...
: Just let us write. What goal we cite's _our_ business, seems to me.
: Now this thread is at an end. No more. Send no more, friend.
: Now the New Year comes around. Joy abounds -- futures found --
: Now it's time to party like it is 1999!
: ('Cause it almost is....)
: Leave threads for champagne and wine -- Auld lang syne! Auld lang syne!"

The Oregon Dark Shadows Society

The Oregon Dark Shadows Society is a Dark Shadows fan club.
"In 1993, the club reported about a dozen members. It gathers monthly to screen recent video releases of Dark Shadows episodes, share fandom gossip, engage in dramatic readings, hold trivia contests, and plan for upcoming Dark Shadows events such as the annual Dark Shadows Festival. The group joined the effort that brought the SCI-FI Channel to the Portland area cable system in 1992. A Halloween party, participation in the fantasy/horror day at the local public library, and a summer picnic are special annual events. The club publishes a monthly newsletter, News & Notes. Many of the members of the disbanded Dark Shadows club in Seattle subsequently affiliated with the Oregon society." Dark Shadows at Answer.com

The Origin of Love

The Origin of Love is a Arthur/Eames novel-length fanfic by z0mbieshake.
==Author's Summary==
:An ex-marine and a sex hustler find each other one cold, dark night in New York drawn together by each other's fractured souls. It was their dream to be together and their destiny to be torn apart by every force in the world at every point of their lives. This is the origin of Eames and Arthur's forbidden romance. Crossover of Mysterious Skin (Arthur's origin), Warrior (Eames's origin), and TDKR based in the Inception universe. ArthurxEames is the main pairing with various combinations of their "counterparts".
==Overview==
Fic comes with the following additional tags:
:Origins, Torture, Psychological Torture, Angst, Heartbreak, Multiple Personalities, keeping the lovebirds apart, Crossover Pairings, Multiple Crossovers.
The author uses a very popular trope of using the actors' other work as Backstory for the characters. In this case Neil from Mysterious Skin (Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character) becomes Arthur while Tommy Conlon from Warrior (Tom Hardy's character) becomes Eames. Bane from Dark Knight Rises is also used.

The Original Family

The Original Family is a Vampire Diaries term referring to the family of Original Vampires, from which all vampires come from. Later in the show, the term has been shortened to The Originals. For a while that is what the fans were using when talking about the Original Family, but due to the fact that a spin-off of the same name was created, the term became misleading in conversations.
The notion of an original vampire was introduced in season two, with the introduction of Klaus Mikaelson.
Members of the Original Family cannot be killed with a simple wooden stake, they are stronger and faster and have the ability to compel vampires. To kill an Original Vampire, you need a special White Oak Stake; but you can incapacitate them by stabbing them through the heart with a magical silver dagger, dipped in the ashes of a White Oak.
If you kill an Original, his entire bloodline (all vampires created within that bloodline) dies with them. That fact has been used several times as an important plot point on The Vampire Diaries (with the death of Finn and Kol) and is a very important part of the main conflict on The Originals.
==Members of the Original Family==
* Mikael
* Esther
* Finn Mikaelson
* Elijah Mikaelson
* Klaus Mikaelson
* Rebekah Mikaelson
* Kol Mikaelson
Esther, despite the fact that she has never been a vampire, is considered a part of the Original Family. This is due to the fact that as a witch (In season 3 of Vampire Diaries, she was being referred to as The Original Witch), she turned her family into vampires.
Also members of the Mikaelson family, but not considered a part of The Original Family:
* Henrik Mikaelson
* Freya Mikaelson
* Hope Mikaelson
==The Original Family in Fandom==
The Original Family is almost always portrayed as close knit (with the exception of Mikael, who is always portrayed as the villain and as hated/feared by his children). Mikaelson siblings Elijah, Klaus, and Rebekah, due to their canonical oath of "Always and Forever" and usually the closest, with an immature and fun-loving Kol often added to the mix.
In fanfic, it is very rare to encounter works that focus on one of the members of The Mikaelson Family without as much as a mention of the others.
Mikaelsons are usually shows as wealthy and successful. A popular fanfic trope is to make them part of a criminal world.

The Other

In The Empire Strikes Back when Luke Skywalker discontinues his training and leaves Dagobah to confront Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi says to Yoda: "That boy is our last hope." Yoda responds, "No, there is another."
The answer was revealed in the next film in the series, The Return of the Jedi, which meant fans had to wait three years to learn the identity of "The Other." This gave them plenty of time for debate and speculation. 
It the end, this speculation was the fun part, as George Lucas pretty much brushed off the whole thing with a few lines of dialogue. 
==Fannish Speculation==
Who is The Other?
One fan commented: 
Anne Elizabeth Zeek wrote a much-commented on article in Jundland Wastes which investigates the subject: 
==Han Solo?==
==Leia Organa?==
==Yoda?==
 
==Lando?==
==Chewbacca?==
==Boba Fett?==
 
==One of the Droids?==
==A Yet-To-Be-Introduced Character?==
==Please, Let it Be a Woman==
Some fans simply wanted "The Other" to be a female.
==After The Reveal: Pretty Much a Let-Down==
The Other Yoda was referring to turned out to be Leia Organa.

The Other Side (Vampire Diaries)

The Other Side is a Vampire Diaries afterlife concept where supernatural creatures (vampires, werewolf, witches etc.) can "stick around" after their death in ghost form, unseen by the living.
Initially, The Other Side was a separate dimension (very much like Supernatural's Purgatory), where dead supernatural beings went to instead of heaven or hell. However, the concept later evolved into a ghost version of the real world (depicted on the show with different coloring on screen). People inhabiting The Other Side also have limited capability of communicating with the living. If they are very emotional in the moment, they can physically affect the real world.
Surprisingly, despite the fact that the show deals with ancestral magic and bringing people back from the dead, The Other Side as a concept is not as commonly referenced in The Originals and fans for whom The Originals is the primary fandom.
==The Other Side in Fandom==
* Due to his ability to see and interact with the dead, fanworks focusing on Jeremy Gilbert often have him interact with The Other Side
* Bonnie Bennett fics set during season 5 often play with her status as the Ancor to The Other Side
* Bringing someone back from The Other Side is a popular Fix-It trope
==Example Works==
* There's a ghost in my lungs (and it sighs in my sleep) by melancholicmermaid a Carenzo fic set during the time Enzo was on The Other Side.
