It has been brought to my attention -- the hideous and unspeakable realization has been forced upon me -- that [livejournal.com profile] shrift the Great and Glorious, Polyamorous Fannish Crackwhore Extraordinaire, Shrift the Mistress of the Snark, has ... not ... seen ... Invisible Man.

*boggles*

Which is to say, the woobiness of Eberts, the unparalleled insanity of Darien's hair and wardrobe, and the all-encompassing wonder that is BobbyHobbes! -- all these are unknown to her. As are likewise the snark, the banter, the heartwrenchingness of "Flowers for Hobbes," the . . . no, I can't go on. *chin quivering wildly*

And the reason given? is that, and I quote: "I feel bad asking anyone for it, since people have been incredibly generous to me already."

This from Shrift, who has done more ass-busting in the way of fannish infrastructure --the archives! the recs!--to say nothing of the fabulous stories! -- than have legions of us lesser fanpersons, laid end-to-end.

I say unto you, my sistern and brethren in fandom -- with one hand gripping the pulpit, and the other pointing skyward calling down the Wrath of the Fannish Gods -- I say unto you, This Shall Not Stand!!

Had I but any I-Man source at my disposal, I should have already rectified this gross transgression against the Rightness of Things. As I do not (having only seen the series by the grace of [livejournal.com profile] tzikeh upon whom all blessings flow), I shall ask -- nay, I demand -- that others in our congregation, those more blessed with the Having of Source, rectify this outrage! Shower upon our sister Shrift the benison of tapes, let the episodes flow down upon her like a mighty river, so that she who is worthiest among us may truly know the Glory that is BobbyHobbes! (and Darien also, of course, what with the biceps and the neck and all.)

Hallelujah and AMEN!

(And it is of course borne upon me that her demur might be in the cause of "Jeezus KEERIST please do not saddle me with yet ANOTHER fandom!" Which I wave aside as a piffling and transitory thing, my mind set always upon the higher cause of Fannish Righteousness [and not at all upon my own craving for I-Man fiction from Shrift, oh heavens no, not at all...])

Well, I've managed to download the second season through BitTorrent, and a couple bits of season 1, but then the torrents crapped out. Alas. But I could probably burn her at least the first couple of episodes and foist them on her at Vividcon...

You wouldn't exactly need to twist my arm, I'm just saying.

This seems an excellent occasion for me to reseed at http://canthlian.no-ip.org:6969/index.html, where many I-Man torrents continue to sputter to life when summoned.

Oh, god, yes, please? I've been desperately trying to get season 1 for ages and ages. There are a handful of us sitting at around 94%, and we keep swapping file bits, but none of us can ever finish! *cries*

Just FYI, I'm *trying* but nothing seems to be uploading even when there is someone trying to dl and I can see that the torrent tracker sees that I'm connected for upload. I'll keep it up as much as I can, but I'll also try to bring an extra set of disks to VVC just because clearly the world needs more I-Man.

Well, I appreciate it. Either it is working, and you can't see for some weird reason, or the stars are aligning just right, because I've gotten several of the downloads finished lately. Now I just have to find time to watch them.

I'll just be over here, dying with laughter.

(And not downloading. Not because I have any moral objection. The curse of dial-up!)

Hey, don't mock the fannish urge to pimp! Also, if you send me your address I'll see how much of season one I can fit onto this nice little disk here. (Of course, that might be enough warning for you not to send anything to anyone, right there.)

Oh, I wasn't mocking! I was laughing in delight at Kat's call to arms. I also was laughing because, when embarrassed, I must laugh or run away, and running away seemed rude at this juncture.

Also, if you send me your address I'll see how much of season one I can fit onto this nice little disk here.

Thanks! I probably should have a chat with [livejournal.com profile] tzikeh and see what's what before making you spring for international shipping.

If the torrents aren't workable, [livejournal.com profile] recycledmedia has source. ALL THE SOURCE. And a DVD recorder. No one is immune to the BOBBYHOBBES!

My supersekrit bootleg source has it, I think. If you are interested, I'll e-mail you her info.

No!

But just think of the joy she has still to come!
