the_dala at 09:27am on 05/12/2006I have a general fandom-related question and a fandom-adjacent question.
1. What is the exact definition of "scenery-chewing"? I've always assumed that it means over-acting or hamming it up; is that basically it? (And if so, where does it come from? The literal meaning of it doesn't make sense to me.)
2. I know what it means to be jossed. Basically everything I've ever written was jossed by DMC. But does anyone know what, specifically, in the Jossverse led to the germination of this term? I always thought it came from Joss's willingness/tendency to kill off main characters unexpectedly; Is it as old as Jenny Calender's death (that's who immediately comes to mind when I think of Joss unexpectedly killing off a main character)?
