I love Forever (the series with Ioan Gruffudd). While Sherlock isn't on, there has been a hole in my little fannish heart that hasn't been suitably filled by Elementary, Agents of Shield or Castle. That hole has now been filled. If I hadn't been abandoned by my muses, this series would probably make them prick up their ears. Maybe it will call them ( Read more... )

Other things first... I found another writing meme and at lease some of it is very true about my writing.

I have long had a hate/hate relationship with ff.net, dating right back to its early days in the late 90s. To me it was always a bastion of intolerance, full of totally batshit insane people being downright nasty about anything that didn't pander to their opinions ('you're a crossover writer? fuck that shit!') and criticism that was everything BUT ( Read more... )

I did get to Trekology with idontlikegravy and Garrett was just as wonderful as I thought he would be. He'd read my post on facebook mentioning that I'd been trying 13 years to meet him and actually asked me why I'd not managed to get to the Manchester con in April 2000 - I told him an edited version of the pint of water/convention ban story ( Read more... )

I didn't manage to finish my fic for the Crossover Big Bang deadline, which, as work has been a bit crap recently and I've not been feeling my best, doesn't really surprise me. I'm not going to give up on the fic though, I'm determined to finish it this year and then post it bit by bit if no other suitable Big Bangs rear their heads in the not too ( Read more... )

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Don't listen to all the people who tell you there are too many special effects and big explosions for it to be proper Trek. It is proper Trek, with bells on. I loved it, and would like to see it again. This icon seems even more appropriate after this film...

Oh and I got an absolutely fantastic birthday pressie.

So... today is the 25th May which makes it Towel Day, the one day of the year when you really have no excuse for not knowing where your towel is! Take your towel to work, use it as a bag, hide behind it... you can use a towel for all sorts of things. My lilac towel is going with me to see Star Trek I have been threatening to make my friend all ( Read more... )
