I thought it would be a good idea to start with a "Best QC Cosplay" poll. I'm just going from the ones that I've seen, so if there's one I've forgotten or missed, feel free to post (because, of course, this is the Internet, where the law of the land is "pics or it didn't happen").

The dark blue one in panel 5 is a buttplug.

Also one of them is a tentacle.

Well, of course. Danielle also knows about that secret Jamie/Hazel slashfic that Jeph has on his computer.

And I nominate your post as the Post of the Year.

Haha, that was my first thought as well. On the other hand, how many guest comics have made their take on QC one that Jeph would never do? I think that's what makes them fun and interesting. I suppose I wouldn't have expected anything else from the famed GWS writer.

One could argue that it's semi-canon.

The dead rising from the grave, human sacrifice, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria.

(In all earnesty, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Marigold does not canonically fantasize about tucking a miniature Hannelore into her lady-bits.)

EDIT: Gyaaah! Did not know about that Easter Egg. Guess I shouldn't post for a while...

We don't know that Marigold doesn't own a plethora of sex toys. I mean, she has been single for a looooong time, and apparently likes....alternative porn.

Just sayin.

Tova · « **Reply #16 on:** 24 Jul 2011, 23:55 »

You can argue that Hanners does own such a suit (seems likely!), that she does own a plethora of sex toys (quite possible!), and even that she fantasizes about pretty much whomever you desire (lalalalalaaa!). You may even be able to justify it.

That doesn't make it canon.

Maybe it makes it semi-canon, if semi-canon means "hey, I can believe that." Which would imply that "semi-canon" is in the eye of the beholder, and hence - arguably

- not all that useful a term.

And I don't choose to regard it as semi-canon (except maybe for the space suit bit).

westrim · « **Reply #17 on:** 25 Jul 2011, 00:04 »

Semi canon means that it's appeared in a forum (read: the daily comic update) which the author has control and approval over (read: chose put on the same plane as their own works). The definition varies of course, but that's roughly what applies here. I am adding myself to the list of those bemused by a comic teasing a ship declared off limits by the author.

Also, was one of those toys a dolphin?

Eye also spye a spring, a kittie, and a lady bug (heh, not a lady anymore.)

Tova · « **Reply #18 on:** 25 Jul 2011, 00:19 »

You mean that whatever I say here is semi-canon? Awesome!

edit: ok ok fine I am joking, I understand what you mean.

Still... if a guest comic strip is just 'semi-canon' by default, then saying something is semi-canon isn't really saying much except that it appeared as a strip.

Well, it's saying that the author, the One True Generator of Canon, looked it over and waved it on. Without that wave it's not canon, and if he says "this is part of the story" then it's canon even if not technically made by him. I recall that this happened with Harry Potter, with Rowling approving of some fanfiction that filled in gaps she didn't write about.

But don't take my word for it. It can depend on what the author thinks, what the audience will accept, and generally canon has more than just on/off/middle degrees.

Yes, all of that we can agree on.

The significance of 'semi-canon' is still pretty vague in my mind. The author waved it on, yes. And ...? He thought it was hilarious? It was pretty funny, I agree.

But hey, semi-canon. OK I believe you.

DSL · « **Reply #23 on:** 25 Jul 2011, 04:29 »

Well, Jeph's "waved on" plenty of guest strip stuff we know has been contradicted by later storyline, so why not accept the guest strips as a form of fanfic and enjoy them on their other merits?

Or consider them Star Trek novels (characterization and backstory all over the map) instead of Star Wars novels (under such tight approval by Lucas that, if you see it between book covers, it's canon)?

Well, anyway: Corsetto QC! This reader is happy. Also: Forest o'Dildoes and related items is funny. Also also: Worry Hat ought to be standard equipment on a hazmat suit. Also also also: Don't know Corsetto and wouldn't know her if she walked up and kicked me in the knee, but I can imagine her giggling madly as she lettered the words "space rubber."

Less apt comparison than most think. Two of the Voyager books were actually considered canon at the time though their status now is questionable. Additionally, since Roddenberry died there's been no singular arbiter of canonicity for Trek. [/randomnerdtangent]

Eh, you'd be surprised what sex toy forms there are. I don't know whether I am allowed to post pictures here* (I assume not), but just one word: hand grenade.

Actually, I never got around to finding out whether words with a space inbetween count as one word or two.

*To clarify, those would be pictures of the toys only, in spoiler tags.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan · « **Reply #28 on:** 25 Jul 2011, 08:00 »

I'm sure Danielle meant the tentacle one to reference Marigold's literary interests, but there's a WoW tie in as well: Vanquished Clutches of Yogg-Saron "Calls forth a Vanquished Tentacle of Yogg-Saron to serv[ic]e you."

She had no idea what would be in the "embarassing drawer", and in that apprehensive mood, donned the worry hat in order to deal with whatever she found there.

And the rubber suit is cold.

OK, after this last guest strip, which was funny (as was Pintsize threatening humanity with death by boners boners boobs), I believe that "shipping" and portmanteaus should be absolutely permitted. If Jeph can handle Hanners face being inserted into Marigold, then he can handle people saying they should hook up. Just saying.

Theres a major difference between a guest strip making fun of the non-existent relationship and random people going "X and Y should totally become fuck bunnies!" in an all too serious manner. Which one do you think Jeph prefers?
