Everyone Wants to Rule the World

So I've recently realized that when I read a Cowbop Bebop fic of the Faye/Spike inclination, I tend to review the same fics that a certain collection of other people tend to review. authenticpoppy. red-tenko. Lady Razorsharp. SpecterQueen. Bob5. Brigidforest. Kajouka. Moonwhisper. Neko-chan4. sidewalk serfer girl. And most of the people on [livejournal.com profile] fayeandspike. I tend to read a fic if I've seen these names in the reviews, and I tend to read the reviews these people leave. And I read their fic too.

Now, for some reason this struck me with a funny idea tonight. We should make a club. A cabal!

Or... better yet... a Syndicate! We could be the F/S reviewing Syndicate of ff.net! We could have a silly melodramatic name, too, like... the Striped Cat Syndicate.

We could go around and collectively praise or murder a fic by the power of mass reviews from fellow authors! We could raise up those little-known authors with jewels written but no reviews, and we could utterly crush the sucky cliche badfics!

But then, I was never fond of cliques.

::sigh:: And really, my plans of world domination never turn out well anyway.

G'night peoples.

I think Cabal's are better than Syndicates. People form Syndicates to play the lottery, no one forms Cabal's except for sisnster (And ergo exciting) purposes!

That's true... Cambridge Dictionaries Online defines a cabal as "a small group of people who plan secretly to take action, especially political action"... it sounds exciting. But then again in CBverse (which I swear is exactly like Fireflyverse), the Syndicates are the big crime lords and they're part of canon, so it would have that cool in-joke factor. As would the name "Striped Cat."

yeah...maybe I'll join... remember, beware of greeks bearing gifts! Just when you least suspect it...

have you ever read the CB fic "Father's Day"? It's not shippy, and it's very good. Pretty original, too.
