<Chris Demetral> about young people in la
<Chris Demetral> Thanks, Lisa :) I'm flattered.
<Gerty>
Chris, Autobio? *S*
<Meghan> sounds fun
<Chris Demetral>
gerty: some of it is based on me LOL
<Gerty> Chris, Does Jana get to
proofreed? *L*
<JJP> I wrote my first fanfic for SAJV and I think it
is turning out ok, people seem to like it
<Chris Demetral> gerty:
actually yes, she has helped me write some scenes
<JJP> I'm hoping
maybe that will lead me to other writing adventures
<Chris Demetral>
jjp: I have read some fan fic on the SAJV list
<Meghan> so Phileas
certainly likes to get in people's personal space! (Watching Southern
comfort right now)
<Chris Demetral> I like to read them
<susanmgarrett> JJP - Fanfic can be dangerously addictive. Trust
me.
<Gerty> Chris, that is incrediably cool. Any ideas about
getting it produced.
<Jackie> Chris, do you know what is happening
with the SAJV set in Montreal? Is it being used for anything at the
moment?
<JJP> oh I know it can! I've read fanfic for years, but
SAJV inspired me...which is very cool
<Meghan> so, my rommie wonders
how to get fanfic on the SAJV list
<Chris Demetral> Jackie: I know
they have rented it out in the past, but I don't know what they are doing
with it now. they still own it though
<Chris Demetral> and the sets
are still up
<Jackie> And the set itself is still intact?
<JJP> I'm almost afraid to ask chris...have you read night terrors?
<Meghan> as she is currently (right this minute) writing some
<Chris Demetral> gerty: I haven't finished it yet
<Armitage>
Provided you can get the characters to talk to you.... still trying to hear
from my Jules muse.....
<susanmgarrett> JJP - Good. That's what a show
is supposed to do - inspire the viewer to creativity. Interactive TV at its
finest.
<Chris Demetral> jjp: yes...I think so...I can't remember all
the names...it was good
<Gerty> Chris, Good luck with the script
<Chris Demetral> thank you gerty
<JJP> woohoo!!! he liked
it!
<Gerty> Most welcome
<Chris Demetral> I wish I could
read all the fan fic but I am banned from a list. :(
<JJP> you
have no idea how happy I am about that
<Gerty> Banned from a list?
<susanmgarrett> Armitage - The problem is not getting them to START,
it's getting them to STOP.
<Amee> maybe I'll make a fan fic page.
<Chris Demetral> yep. they didn't want actors :(
<Gerty>
Chris, that stinks
<Meghan> my roommie would post on it Amee
<JJP> why dont you check out the archive chris? it all goes there
eventually...
<StellaS> okay, I just got an official news thing
about the schedule change.
<Armitage> yeah, the AuroraVernealis....
<Gerty> Stella And?
<Amee> ok, I'll let you know Meg!
<Gerty> Arm *LOL*
<susanmgarrett> Stella -yes?
<Jackie> Is there any word about the Soundtrack to SAJV...I've been
searching but nothing so far
<Meghan> thanks
<Chris
Demetral> Where is the archive?
<Chris Demetral> Jackie: I have
heard nothing about a soundtrack
<Chris Demetral> don't know if they
will make one
<StellaS> It might be better placed now.. it's at.. let
me double check..
<Chris Demetral> it's a great idea though
<Jackie> What a pity...Nick Glennie-Smith's music is quite wonderful
<susanmgarrett> Chris - If anyone will, Crescendo will.
<Gerty> They should. The music is great.
<Meghan> i agree,
the music is great
<Mary> The music is great!
<Meghan>
Gerty, great minds thing alike
<susanmgarrett> the music is awesome,
in the true sense of the word.
<JJP>
http://www.cairdean.com/users/aurora
<Gerty> Meghan, Absolutely *L*
<Chris Demetral> You should email me that address
<JJP> is
the address for the Aurora Journals
<StellaS> Saturdays at ten -- good
No genre' competition.
<Chris Demetral> who belongs to auroravernealis
anyway?
<Meghan> and Mary too :)
<JJP> I do!
<susanmgarrett> That's not a bad spot.
<Bleufleur> me
<Chris Demetral> I'm sad I couldn't join.
<susanmgarrett>
*hand raised*
<Armitage> just a few people from the other lists
<Gerty> I hope the new time works well. *crossing fingers for SAJV*
<davodd> that fan fic site is linked on my webpage front page, chris
and Arinne
<JJP> why don't you come on with a nom de plume?
<Armitage> myself included
<susanmgarrett> Haven't posted
anything yet, as I'm trying to avoid writing fanfic for this show.
<Chris Demetral> I respect their opinion....but I still wish I could
have joined
<Kate> Chris, just sign on as someone else!
<Armitage> we won't tell the list mom if you don't
<Meghan>
he's just too ethical :)
<JJP> well lets face it chris...most of us
drool over your character
<Meghan> which is a good thing!
<Gerty> davodd, True. I'm just paranoid.
<Chris Demetral>
I'm flattered. :)
<Chris Demetral> thank you so much
<JJP>
your welcome
<susanmgarrett> Chris - They don't necessraily not want
YOU. It's just easier to do some of that stuff knowing that you're not going
to meet an actor at a convention and know he's read something you've
written.
<davodd> Sorry, Chris -- no drool here -- just envy
<Meghan> :)
<Chris Demetral> I feel like if they don't want
actors they must be ripping our acting to shreds.
<JJP> especially
if it is ahem...you know....
<Kate> A lot of the ROS folks read stuff
that was written about them
<Chris Demetral> :(
<susanmgarrett> davodd - and is HE relieved.
<Gerty> Some
drool but more for Michel
<Mary> On one of my other fandoms some of
the actors were there but we never believed it was them anyway
<StellaS> When I was at the ROS con, Mark and Kip Carpenter sat up all
night singing filk songs and reading fanzines.
<Chris Demetral> I
don't mind the fiction, it's interesting. Never had heard of the whole
culture before
<Chris Demetral> very creative though
<susanmgarrett> Chris - Oh no. It can just get . . . interesting.
Especially when someone on the cast makes it a point to meet you because
of something you've written.
<JJP> I think most actors tend not to
really communicate with the fans in this form and it sucks
<Chris
Demetral> good writing
<JJP> you're cool for doing this chris
<Chris Demetral> it's my pleasure and it's a lot of fun
<Kate> You ain't seen nothing yet... :)
<Chris Demetral> but
I wouldn't know who wrote what unless you told me :)
<JJP> hmm..not
all of us go by a nom de plume
<JJP> my first name is really JJ and my
last name begins with a P
<Chris Demetral> Any more JV questions?
<Mary> some folks do though some have more than one name
<Gerty> Hmmm... JV questions.... Hmmm...
<Gerty> Can you get
me a date with Michel? *L*
<susanmgarrett> Trust me, if they want to
find you, they'll find you.
<JJP> tell me chris...is JV going to get a
little less...optimistic as we go along?
<Bleufleur> I do
<btromp> you've done such a fine job of answering them all
<Chris Demetral> Give my regards to the list. :) they can come to
chats too.
<JJP> I've wanted to whack him one a few times (no offense)
<Meghan> my roommate wants to know what color Fogg's eyes are - any
help?
<Kate> It's getting late gang. Take care. Keep The Aurora
Flying!
<Mary> Have they shown the first ep that was the first ep yet?
<Chris Demetral> gerty: he's divorced and very single
<Jackie> You mentioned that Fran was cast first...did she have any
input as to who else was finally cast in the other roles?
<davodd>
JV q: What was the the best part of Montreal?
<susanmgarrett> Night
Kate. email me.
<Chris Demetral> meg: green
<Gerty> Chris,
Well that's a good sign... *L*
<Siobhan> night kate
<Chris
Demetral> jackie: no
<StellaS> How long did post production take?
We know the show broke a lot of technical ground?
<Chris Demetral>
dav: the people
<Chris Demetral> bye kate
<Meghan> thanks
<Bleufleur> I don't know if this was covered before I came on line,
but was there a shake-up of writers, etc., during production?
<Jackie> bye kate,a gain
<susanmgarrett> Chris is getting
tired - he's down to single syllable answers.
<Chris Demetral> stella:
quite a few months to get the effects down right
<aleana> goodnight
Kate, sweet dreams
<btromp> lol susan
<JJP> doh! now I have
to change that in my fanfic! thanks chris (i mean it in a good way)
<Chris Demetral> bleu: happened over christmas
<Chris
Demetral> susan: arinne is trying to keep up with the scrolling
<JJP> lol susan
<Chris Demetral> it's hard sometimes
<Kate> Susan... I don't have yoru email! mine is katemorn13@aol.com
<Meghan> just has to answer a lot of questions I think :)
<StellaS> Well, the time put into it shows.
<Bleufleur>
*What* happened/
<susanmgarrett> Go, arinne, go!!! God bless you!
<Jackie> Did any of the other actors have any input to casting at all?
<Chris Demetral> bleu: no prob. just a professional courtesy.
<Bleufleur> Good call
<susanmgarrett> Now THERE is someone I
would love to meet. One of the best Jack the Rippers of all time.
<Chris Demetral> jjp: a dream, I learned so much from him and jana
talked to him about making titanic
<davodd> show's on in 15
minutes
<StellaS> They guest actors for a show in its first season
were very impressive.
<Gerty> davodd, Yeah!
<Chris
Demetral> susan: I used to have nightmares after watching him do that
<susanmgarrett> Chris - LOL!
<Gerty> SAJV Promo on!
<Chris Demetral> he told me I saw it at too young an age
<susanmgarrett> The hand on the floor, in the middle of the room -
*shudder*
<Gerty> SIlly white suit again.
<JJP> my tv is in
the other room :(
<Chris Demetral> damn silly white suit!
<Armitage> *sets her tape for the ep*
<Chris Demetral> have
you noticed the editing on that? it sucks
<susanmgarrett> The
Vernsicle.
<JJP> the only movie that gave me nightmares was Event
Horizon *shudders*
<Gerty> Chris, *L* Atleast you didn't have to wear
it for the show
<Meghan> would anyone else make those promos if second
season is shown?
<Chris Demetral> they cut it as I begin saying the
line again
<Chris Demetral> meg: I bet so
<susanmgarrett>
LOL!
<btromp> it looks like you're about to say somethign at the end
<StellaS> yeah.. edit by WeedWhacker.
<susanmgarrett> Trust
SciFi.
<Siobhan> I noticed that.
<Amee> yea, that's some
interesting editing!
<Gerty> Stella *L*
<Chris Demetral>
jjp:I never saw it. Jana did
<JJP> chris, how much footage is cut for
the US audience?
<Meghan> that would be fun
<susanmgarrett>
Stella - LOL!
<Chris Demetral> bruce: I was
<StellaS> People
do better jobs on there MAC.
<Chris Demetral> jjp: 3 -5 minutes
<JJP> ugh
<Chris Demetral> the cut seems so obvious, I just
dont' understand it.
<JJP> I really really want to see those missing
minutes
<Chris Demetral> looks silly. I hate it.
<StellaS>
Anything the developes character is sliced.
<Siobhan> me too.
<Meghan> really missing those five minutes :(
<aleana>
*comforts Chris*
<JJP> I have been able to catch the cuts most of the
time
<btromp> so did you just say 'this is sci-fi[' until they got one
they liked?
<Gerty> It'll get better. First season is never great for
shows.
<susanmgarrett> Chris - It's not that bad. Most people won't
notice.
<JJP> and it drives me bonkers
<Chris Demetral>
bruce: basically yeah, that and about 10 other sentences
<susanmgarrett> Chris - They will be too charmed by your good looks
and your charm.
<StellaS> Too bad we can't post the scripts yet.
<davodd> cuts scenes appear in DVD -- usually
<susanmgarrett> Chris - And then they'll start to wonder about that
suit . . . .
<Chris Demetral> I look really stupid in the white
suit!
<Chris Demetral> even Jana hated it
<JJP> I hope it
comes out on DVD
<aleana> You don't look stupid, just different.
<Gerty> Chris, Now now now.. It's just a suit... *L*
<Chris
Demetral> my dog can't see it in color or she'd hate it too
<susanmgarrett> Chris - We will burn the suit in effigy.
<Meghan>
so Michael dislikes the pic and you dislike the suit. Any other complaints
by Frannie or Michel?
<Armitage> Might be better if they'd used a
different color background.....
<Chris Demetral> bye bleu :)
<susanmgarrett> I will personally write a story about the burning of
the suit.
<btromp> night bleu
