maxheadroom's Journal (original) (raw)

Yuletide!	[19 Oct 2009|12:30pm]
The 2009 yuletide challenge is about to get under way. For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, Yuletide is a Secret Santa exchange for fandoms which don't have much fanfic available (FAQ here). I would encourage anyone who might be interested in receiving/writing Max Headroom fic to check it out. Right now, we're in the nomination stages. MH has already been nominated, so you don't need to worry about getting in on that, but you might want to see if any other fandoms you're interested in have been nominated. (Yuletide requires people to sign up to receive and write several different fandoms, to make matching possible, so you can't pick just one.) Signups will start in, I believe, late October.

Max fic for the holidays?	[06 Nov 2008|01:40am]
[ **mood** | excited ] Hello all! I've been a quiet little lurker of late, but I wanted to alert my fellow fans of the Headroom to a couple of possibilities for fan fiction.First of all, The Yuletide 2008 Obscure Fandom Fanfic Exchange is open for participant signups until 9pm Eastern time on Monday, November 10th. Max did indeed make it onto the list of requested fandoms, so you can request a piece of fan fiction, offer to write some or both! Yuletide is great fun and a wonderful way to both give and get a little fannish present.Secondly, smallfandomfest has started accepting prompt submissions for their fourth small fandom ficathon, and will continue to do so until the 21st. A few MH prompts have already been submitted, but more would be wonderful! Prompts will be up for claiming on November 23rd. You can also sign up to pimp your favorite small fandom, and I don't believe anyone's written about the folks at Network 23 yet. The deadline for both fics and pimps is January 31st.Feel free to nudge me if you have any questions about either ficfest!

Max fanfic!	[31 Dec 2005|03:57pm]
[ mood | yay! ] Hi,I wanted to let you all know about the story that was written for me in this year's yuletide challenge:Title: The Beginning of EducationRating: G Summary: Edison tells a story. Edifying lessons are found. It's a story about one of Edison's earliest journalistic assignments, and the author (still unknown until tomorrow! *g*) does a great job getting the characters down, especially Edison and Max. I absolutely believe Edison would act (and react) the way he does here. The little details are also fabulous -- things like body language and background sights and sounds help the reader get immersed in the story, and I think they're really well done.So if you're looking for Max fanfic, go check it out!(I can't believe I still haven't gotten off my ass and made a Max icon...)

newbie ;]	[16 Sep 2004|12:18pm]
[ **mood** | amused ] hey everyone, I came across this community and had to join . I never thought in a million years i'd find people who like max headroom. Unfortuntly for me I was born in 88 and did not get to enjoy all those fabulous things that happend in the 80's. I hope it's ok that i am joining even though i'm 16. If I am to young, I understand if you must kick me out.

Wow	[30 Jan 2004|01:49am]
[ **mood** | amused ] I hope you all don't mind if I join you.I loved Max Headroom's appearances on Square-One as a kid in the 80s, and discovered the series in college. A friend had all the episodes on VHS, and we watched the tapes to death. I am currently without access, which saddens me, though I may risk finding an expensive VCD rip one of these days.My favorite episode has to be "The Academy" (Bryce was always my favorite character), though I enjoy every one of them. Other people have favorite episodes?

what i want to know is:	[21 Aug 2003|12:32pm]
[ **mood** | curious ] _This is Kim Slawson coming at you very much live and direct, and what I want to know is..._Does anyone know anything about the Max Talking Headroom Show?I'd ideally love to find someone who taped it way back when, as I never saw it. Growing up as a child in the 80's I never had access to cable TV, and i didn't even know what Showtime was back then. I did see all of the episodes of the American Max Headroom TV series on ABC when they aired; was overjoyed when Bravo, Sci-Fi, and then TechTV rebroadcast it recently; and have all 14 episodes plus the British pilot and a "Best of Max" compilation on VCD, thanks to a kind soul on usenet's alt.max-headroom. Now I just need to get my hands on the obscure talk-show predecessor to a short-lived cult 80's cyberpunk TV series that never itself made it to VHS, let alone DVD. Sounds easy, right? pffffft.

aaaaaaa blipverts!	[26 Mar 2003|05:37pm]
[ **mood** | thoughtful ] uh oh. a new study found that "viewers who fast forward through ads recall their content at similar rates as those watching at normal speeds."get out the tinfoil helmets, people, because before we know it, Network 23 and the Zik-Zak Corporation will be trying to make our heads explode with accelerated commercials.then again, maybe we just need some Accela to deal with the pace of modern life...(if anyone reads my personal journal, sorry for the crosspost)
