In other news:  Gay outrage over penguin sex test.

"Gay rights activists have protested at a north German zoo's plans to test the sexual orientation of six male penguins which have displayed homosexual traits.

Bremerhaven's Zoo am Meer said it would introduce four extra female penguins from Sweden to the group to see if the males really were gay.

But zoo director Heike Kueck said "gay groups worldwide have been cursing us since that announcement".

The zoo says it just wants to encourage the rare Humboldt penguins to breed.

The males have been observed trying to mate with each other and trying to hatch offspring out of stones.

"We don't know whether the three male pairs are really homosexual or whether they have just bonded because of a shortage of females," said Mrs Kueck, quoted by Germany's Der Spiegel news magazine.

Gay groups insisted that penguins had a right to form couples without human interference, she said.

"Nobody here wants to forcibly separate homosexual couples," she said.

Only one baby Humboldt penguin has been born at the zoo, which has six males and four females, Der Spiegel reports."

Um. They're threatened with extinction. Though the idea of the two males trying to hatch a stone is rather cute surely it's better to see if they actually will breed?

Jack/Daniel never goes out of fashion (at least not in my book!)

I obviously read that post you made about it but I think it must have been in the period at the end of Jan where I wasn't about very much and only did flying f-list checks.

Hmmm... HP fandom. There's probably some about but really the only ones I've seen are icon sized ones. But generally I don't venture out into the wilds of HP fandom. I stay in the safe little Maurauders corner so I can't speak for the rest of it. I think it's more about the fanart really and of course there's a lot less stock footage than there is for a TV show.

I remember those Stargate ones that you linked to a while back and they were absolutely gorgeous. I seem to remember there being Highlander ones there too.

So yeah, not sure what all that rambling up there is about.

I have just found a few manip comms: lost_manips, sv_manipsnip (woah - some pretty explicit manips there!), photo_manip - not fandom.

The Smallville one looks like it's got a good system going. The best way to prove it's a manip is to show the original pics it came from. I could give a theme or something. I like it. And good definition of manip in the Lost one. I like the format of posting there, too. Muchos gracias for the linkage.

I want to include fanart, I think, to allow for fandoms that don't have vast amounts of caps, like HP, LOTR and even LOTRPS (lord save my soul).

Jack and Daniel 4 evah, yo! :)
