Sorkin steals a line in his commencement address [14 May 2012|05:05pm]

segsig
The line he stole was from either Leo or Pres. Bartlet, so I guess it's okay. http://centralnewyork.broadwayworld.com/article/Aaron-Sorkin-Speaks-at-Syracuse-Universitys-158th-Commencement-Speech-Transcript-20120514

there is also a new *3rd* trailer for the newsroom.

and, last bit of news Brad's pilot didn't get picked up.

TWW fic at AO3 [03 May 2012|07:32am]

jaekayelle
Hi there! I've been a lurker here for a long time, and a West Wing fanfic writer from waaaay back in the heydays of the fandom at yahoogroups. Most of my fic is Sam and Josh-centric and slash, but I love all of the characters and they all tend to play fairly major roles in many of the stories.

I put a couple of my stories up at Archive of Our Own a while ago and recently started uploading more. There are still a lot to put up there so, if you're at all interested, please check back at my works page for updates. There are also some of my stories in other fandoms with more going up over the next, oh, twenty years. *g* I wrote a lot of fic!

I'm not one to beg for feedback but if you feel like telling me what you liked about a fic, please do leave a comment. Watching the hits counters go up is fun, but that doesn't tell us if anyone is actually reading the work. The only payment fanfic writers get is reading what people think of our efforts and no writer can be productive in a vacuum. :-)

Thanks!

anti-John Wells icon [02 May 2012|01:01pm]

Does anyone know where I could find that "Hey look, it's John Wells!" icon/gif where Toby is shooting a rifle? I'm writing a paper on collaborativity in fandom and I thought it would make a nice visual. :)

Thank you!

I've heard people say that at one point you see Donna's birthday written on Josh's board... Does anyone happen to know which episode that was or around which date? 

Thanks!

Title: No One Will Hit You (And You'll Never Learn)

Summary: Leo and Jed are both the children of cowards. Bartlet's relationship with Leo, his father and Mrs. Landingham. Set pre-series and during Two Cathedrals.

Disclaimer: Not mine. No infringement intended.
Notes: Unbetaed, so any mistakes are my own. This is my first West Wing fic, so any and all comments will cherished. 4,239 words.

Jed doesn’t remember much about meeting Mrs. Landingham, just a snapshot-memory of the usual Sunday crowd of teachers and boarders milling around the grey stone archways and the entrance to the chapel, the sky pale blue above.


Read the rest at my journal.

Scoring and Snuffy [07 Sep 2011|12:15am]

omniguy
Hi Everyone,

I'm sure this question has been asked before so my apologies for repeating but Google has failed me in trying to find an answer.

With the exception of the two tracks ("West Wing Suite" and "West Wing Main Title") which can be purchased on the album "Music by... W.G. Snuffy Walden", does anyone know where one can buy or acquire the other incidental and score music used throughout the series.

I'm guessing it must exist in some form somewhere but I've had zero luck finding out where.

Cheers!

Question and, well, it's kinda funny. [02 Aug 2011|10:49am]

ahsatanllesob
So, I have a stupid question. I know I just watched it the other day, but I can't remember which episode in which the senior staff is playing poker and the president asks them to name the punctuation marks. I heard this song the other day at work and it made me think of it...

"I love you, period.
Do you love me, question mark.
Please, please exclamation point.
I wanna hold you in parenthesis."

Stupid song to be sure, but it reminded me of Toby listing all the punctuation marks. Too funny.

I'm new to the community, although I've been in the wwficfind group for a while now. I realized I didn't have a West Wing group for non-fic-finding purposes. I have the beginning of a fic, and although I read fic, I haven't written too many, and I've never written a West Wing fic.

Would anybody be willing to read what I have so far and maybe help me figure out where the *heck* this story is going? And how long it would have to be to get there? And how in the world to get into Danny's head so I can write his voice decently? I love the guy, I really do, he's just...hard to pin down for me.

Requirements:

- You must be a Toby fan. I need help muddling through the whole leaking/prosecution/losing every friend he made during his time in the WW/being pardoned thing...I understand *why* he did it, I'm pretty sure. I'm just struggling to work through all of the logistics and how they affected Toby and what kind of man he is by the end of it all.

- You must be at least okay with CJ/Toby. That's the main pairing in my story.

- No CJ/Danny OTPers, but no Danny haters either, please. I'd definitely prefer somebody who appreciates Danny for the awesome guy he is, but understands why he and CJ could never survive as a couple.

- Must be Sam/Ainsley tolerant. Since a lot of the story is taking place out in California (CJ and Danny start out there), I'd like to rope Sam/Ainsley into the mix, too. I know that they went back to D.C. and all, but the ties to California would be to strong to ignore.

I'm iffy on allowing the twins to exist. I'm sorry, but I just...kind of hate Andi something fierce, and don't want to deal with her being *in* my story. Unless I can have her go completely evil!Andi lol. And I don't think that's fair to her.

Bartlet-Young wedding! [12 Jun 2011|04:52pm]

[ mood | amused ]

Hey all! Something great is happening on Twitter right now - it's the Bartlet-Young wedding! A bunch of fake Twitter accounts, representing various fictional characters from The West Wing are tweeting using the hashtag #BartletYoung2011, as if an actual wedding in NH is occurring. It's great! Nice to know the fandom is still alive! Lots of West Wing fans are tweeting too, and the hashtag was trending in Washington, D.C. at one point.

If you're not on Twitter, you can still read the real-time tweets here (refresh to get new tweets): http://twitter.com/#!/search/%23BartletYoung2011

There are also a number of Twitter lists that have been created to follow all the accounts of fictional West Wing characters. If you go to the profile page of any Twitter account (e.g. @PresBartlet), look under "lists."

Enjoy!

My Biggest Smiles of The West Wing Season 7 [20 Apr 2011|08:50pm]

sunclouds33
Over on a BtVS message board, a poster wrote his "favorite parts" from every episode. These aren't usually the "biggest" or the most "famous" scenes but instead a way of celebrating the small moments that don't get appreciated enough. I did that a little bit for Buffy but I wanted to also do that as a way of celebrating my all-time favorite show which is "this here show". I'll go backwards from Tomorrow to the Pilot, one season per post.

Hi everyone! I don't usually post on here, I hope this is OK :)

A couple of my girlfriends and I are going to one of Rob Lowe's book tour events next month. He recently joked about changing his twitter handle to @seabornin2012 and I took that, ran with it, and designed these shirts for us to wear, in order to be as obviously fangirly as humanly possible without anyone having to, like, rush the stage (I'm still not convinced that isn't going to happen anyway ;)). Anyway, I'm not making any money from them, but I figured I'd share in case anyone else found them as amusing as we do!

(I also shared the link on twitter, which prompted amongst other things a message from @donnatella_moss pointing out it should be 2014... ETA: and because I always cave when fictional characters tell me things (and are backed up by real people ;)), I added a 2014 option.)
