Most of you, like me, is in the midst of a Jessica Jones binge watch on Netflix. I personally love this series because it really speaks to me. Sloppy, badass female anti-superhero character for the win! Also, David Tennant as a villain is life. Check out these great fanart I yanked from Tumblr this week… there is a LOT of purple.
It’s late but the Lady Geeks finally chat about their experience at Comikaze Expo 2015 which includes, Carrie Fisher, glitter, Tommy Wiseau and Manu Bennett (so manly…). We also gifted Fortune Cookie with a brand new Spider News. Fanfic Theater: Indiana Jones x Captain America.

Ah, yes, here we are. Thanksgiving is over. Some of you are probably a lot like me and is just spending this Friday doing some lazy window shopping online. Ladies, there are now too many adorable “geek” things for us to buy for ourselves and our equally dorky friends. Can you believe it? It wasn’t so long ago we’d had to scrape the Hot Topic stores to find anything to represent our pop-culture tastes. Here are my personal picks for this year in case you still need a little help narrowing down what to buy!
We’ve spotlighted RedBubble.com before because they are pretty awesome. Currently, they are having their Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales and they kindly shared their discount codes with us. For Black Friday, use BF20 and on Cyber Monday use CM20 to get 20% off your purchases!
Today, Facebook reminded me that I wrote this blog post for Thanksgiving in 2011. We’ve done a lot of different things and met a lot of people since four years ago even though it feels like all that time just breezed by. Our staff members have changed as well with new people coming in and some moving on to other things. We’ve gone to a lot of events and helped out so many of our peers and supported tons of projects.
As for me, I haven’t changed much… I am still neurotic and running this blog has given me a lot of anxiety and frustration. I still get discouraged and I still want to quit half the time. Again, despite my tendency to run circles into my own awkward insanity, I am going to take a deep breathe and recognize all the things and people that I am truly grateful for.
For those of you within the geek community who continue to be true to yourselves and continue to be kind, I am grateful. To all my friends who continue to work hard for Defective Geeks— Giselle, Valerie, Michelle, Yume and Alex— you ladies are my constant source of happy-nerding and friendship. To all our supporting Lady Geeks— Sabina, Adri, Julia, Stephanie and Christy— thank you for contributing when you can. To our currently quiet co-founder, Nancy, we still love you!
Welcome to another chapter of Awesome Fanfic Monday!
As you all know I love my crossovers and I love my parodies. Naturally when I find a fanfic that is both a crossover AND a parody, well, I am just tickled. This fanfic is a personal favorite of mine that I reread every once in a while because it is just delightful. The author combines one of the most well received movies of all time, Titanic, with one of the most infamous and criticized pieces of celluloid ever, Batman and Robin. What do these two movies make when combined? Absolute gold.
I don’t know who made this, but it’s amazing.

I’m sure you all can believe it, but there are already tons of Star Wars: The Force Awakens fan art that exist on the internet. Without knowing much about the movie still—besides that it will be super awesome, of course— fans have already shown their enthusiasm in so many ways. Isn’t it cool we live in the digital world where we can see, watch and listen to other people in fandom freak out over a movie that isn’t even out yet?
The torture– THE FUN– continues as we finish our commentary on The Room, by the mad genius, Tommy Wiseau. Find out how our journey ends. What a story, Mark.
