Yep, in this case its the Fark effect. But that's what I was thinking of.

Searching Wiki for "Fark effect" came up blank. Silly search engine...

Same as the /. effect only caused by Fark, duh. [Razz]

Ok, I posted as the antagonist. Tell me why I'm wrong so other folks will know how much you love Hiatus. [Big Grin]

I think I just named a character. Er. I hope that's okay.

I'm looking forward to tons of fan fiction and art, lots of arguing over episodes, and I see no reason why any of it should be consistent at all.

Call it collaborative reminiscing.

A Bridges after my own heart. [Laugh]

I would only add that I think more is being gained than is being lost in this shift. If you accept that all media productions follow Sturgeon's Law... more is better.

I'm working on my fanfiction right now: Bella, the ship's doctor, mourning the death of Samar after his battle with Cygnus Alpha (I always thought they had a thing for each other). Spoilers for episode six.

They all blew up cause they got stuck in a bad section of EVE online and there's no money to build more. Wait soon there will be enough money in the pot to build more and then people will get sick of them again??

Actually she didn't do anything. That's the beauty of it.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I do have (just enough of) a sense of realism left (after the therapy), and realize the studios (hardly ever) change their minds. But it sure is cool to discover all you fellow Hiatians and reminisce like this.

Ahhh, Papa Moose, now we know. Hiatus contains the infamous line never found in any other film.

Brilliant, BannaOj. It must have been in the episode "Deja VuVu."

Indeed.

But I did just link the beloved campaign from another site, so I'm good for something.

Are you going to add that image to the Wikipedia article?

The Wikipedia article is already up for deletion. [Smile]

Don't worry, after we become a bonafide phenomenon we'll put it back...

I love the way they think it's a hoax, but they're not quite sure.

holy bleep! "Hiatus" exists? Or did someone here put it up? Either way Kevin Smith has the right sort of sense of humor for this.

I'm not entirely sure what they thought was the hoax though. Did they think that there was a real show Hiatus that I was claiming wasn't real or did I just not describe it as non-existent enough times?

Nothing I said in the original article was false.

Depends on how you define "a small but dedicated fan base." I think that has yet to be exhibited; one week is nowhere near sufficient to establish dedication.

Don't get me wrong; I'm enjoying the Hiatus thing hugely, and may have some filk to contribute in the near future. Still, there's no way it fits Wikipedia's mandate at this point. Maybe someday, once it catches on.
