Also you should read Grossman's book The Magicians because it's freaking awesome and has this gorgeous atmosphere. But the article is a great look at fanfic - for a general audience ( Read more... )

Oh flist, oh flist, oh flist.

That is simply not allowed to be the last show EVER of Friday Night Lights.

But if it is?  I can kinda deal with it.

So there was a nail in my car's tire.  Did I mention that yesterday?  Yeah.  Nail.  Whee.  And it's on the corner of the tire that's "not supposed to be patched."  *headdesk*  Please, please, please don't make me buy a new tire!  At least not until February.  *crosses fingers*
