You know you're too involved in fan fiction when...

Yesterday The Lost Boys was on the Scifi Channel, and one of the first things that popped into my head was 'oh, you could so write a slash story about David and Michael'.

I loved that movie when it came out, and I'm not usually one for the scary. But there was enough humour in the thing to make the icky bits bearable. And the icky bits were relatively few and far between. The movie tagline was 'Sleep all day, party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire.' I had the poster in my dorm room. I also had the soundtrack album. It was rockin'.

I need to get it on DVD so I can watch it again without things bleeped out and stuff. It was amusing how dated the hair styles were. 1987 and big hair and mullets were all the rage, even for vampires.

Now Jamie Gertz, who was the Mysterious Girl, plays a mother on a mediocre sitcom. The guy who played Max is now Rory Gilmore's granddad, and David, the uber cool vampire now plays a CIA agent. Marco, one of the vampires went on to be Bill S. Preston Esquire, and then faded from sight. Jason Patrick - he did a few things, including the Speed 2 thing, but that's it, I think.

There must be Lost Boy icons somewhere. *wanders off to look*

How cool would this be

My boss just asked me if I knew anything about blogs. After I stopped laughing, I said, yeah, I have one, and he said he heard they were a good marketing tool. Then he asked me how I got people to read what I wrote, and what do you do if you don't have anything to say, and I gave him what answers I could, and now he wants me to look into it.

It would be seriously cool to be able to update a blog and get paid for it, wouldn't it?

So, I'm wondering if there are more commercially-orientated blog spaces on the net, or if I could just set up some kind of LJ for the company.
