Why are they called memes, btw?

Gacked from penknife and fannish5:

What 5 pieces of advice would you give to characters in your fandom(s)?

1. Bring grenades
2. Keep your dungeon/brig/small holding compartment off the cargo bay oiled and ready
3. Tell your friends and/or co-workers where you're going. You don't have to be as specific as "out to be kidnapped by hillfolk," or "indirectly on my way to Azkaban," but consider leaving a note with the general locale and the reason for your outing
4. Never throw away a uniform once used to break into an enemy facility.
5. Stay away from Faith. If that doesn't work, bring a video camera.

1. Is a very key piece of advice.
4. Hell yeah. If nothing else, it comes in handy for that uniform fetish that some members of your new crew might have.

and by "crew"...

You really mean "fans," right? :-)

I rather happily think that Joss put that in there because he knows his audience, and said audience would proclaim indignation at the changed origin-story, but then furiously write uniform-fanfic.

Are you saying that Joss wants us to write uniform-fetish fic? ;D huh. Well, far be it from me to ignore this.

Oh, he _does_

I can tell. In fact, I'm going to go write some right now.

It may be slightly thin on plot. I hope no one minds too badly. :-)
