Pimp something.

Hell, pimp anything. Anything that you think needs more love or gets love but could always use a wee bit more.

TV shows, movies, books, comics, websites, LJ user, LJ communities, fanfic, writers, songs ... anything you want. (Just make sure you pimp it in such a way so people can get their grubby little paws on it. Tell where it can be seen, link to it, etc.)

Go on, you know you want to. ;)

As for what I'm pimping ...

1. The 4400 -- No, seriously. Why are so few people I know watching this? For crying out loud, this show makes me happy. It's got superpowered people and neat little romances and it's ten dozen kinds of awesome. It's on USA Network on Sunday nights at 9 and midnight, and the first season is also on DVD (for only sixteen bucks, depending on where you pick it up).

2. One Big Happy Pantheon -- It's a Dogma/Good Omens crossover. Did you hear that, people? Dogma and Good Omens, and it's a perfect blend of both of them.

3. Orville Redenbacher's Cinnabon popcorn -- Oh, don't make that face. I know it sounds ... well, questionable, but as long as you like both popcorn and Cinnabons, you will love this. Seriously.

4. Encyclopedia Titanica -- I've been all over this website lately for DMIDS, and damn. Honestly, the detail they've got on the sinking is so great.

5. Arrested Development -- This is the best comedy on TV, and I'm not just saying that because it's funny but because it's got one of the best senses of continuity on television right now. Stuff just comes out of left field in the storyline, and if you've been following it, it's hilarious. (Although you definitely don't have to be a rabid fan to get the jokes. They're good like that. :)) Those of you not watching ... *chases after you with clue-by-four* The premiere is Wednesday, September 14th, and the first season's already on DVD. WATCH, damn you! *goes back to chasing*

6. "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles -- See, what you do is you put it on your iTunes or Winamp or whatever, and then whenever it comes up, that's your computer telling you to WRITE, DAMN IT. (Well, that's what it means when my computer does it, anyway.)

I don't think that campfuckudie needs anymore pimping, but I will pimp it anyway for LO IT IS AWESOME. (And we need a River from Firefly like a really needy thing, and by "we" I mean "the mighty trio of me, myself, and I.")

So! Getting to the point of the pimp: campfuckudie is a crack-RP based around the assumption that your favorite child or teenaged character has been sent to the summer camp from HELL. If that isn't enough of a hook for you, here's another: members of the audience are invited. As an audience member, you can heckle a character, torment them, give bad advice, give *good* advice, and pretty much anything else short of actually changing in-camp events.

The population of campfuckudie is made up mostly of characters from anime and manga series, so people who aren't familiar with anything in that genre might have trouble getting into it at first. But that doesn't mean that no one you know is there - we have an Anakin Skywalker from the Star Wars prequels, Colin Creevey and Fred Weasley from Harry Potter, and Buffy Summers from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And hey, you never know - maybe one of the characters will inspire you to pick up a new fandom!
