Ooh Mr. Loki: A Fan Fiction! Spoilers: not actually a fanfic, just a parody of Kate Beaton's Mr. Darcy comic ( Read more... )

Something I have discovered about being polyfannish is that, when I am in the shower or on a bus or folding clothes or whatever it is that puts my brain on screensaver mode, I will start making up crossovers. I love clever crossovers, and clever fusions (and, I'll be honest here, I would be perfectly happy if every fandom ever had a His Dark ( Read more... )

Today my hair is doing hilarious flippy things! Hair, you are not Chloe Sullivan ( Read more... )

Now that I am doing an idle Lex-Luthor-bits-of-Smallville watch, and unsurprisingly shipping Clark/Lex like burning, I have had the same conversation with a handful of friends. It goes something like this:

ME. And I love Lex! Oh my god, I love Lex! But Clark is, uh ...
FRIEND. Boring?
ME. Yeah! And this is becoming a pattern. Like, okay, take ( Read more... )

Two pieces of related, absurd conversation:

Aria: OH MY GOD DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY WIPS I HAVE
Aria: IT IS FUCKING UNREAL
Amelia: HEE HEE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Aria: I have nefarious plots to make you watch bits of Highlander
Aria: PURELY SO THAT YOU WILL BE EXCITED ABOUT MY HIGHLANDER WIPS
Amelia: I would not be averse to this!
Amelia: I mean dude, ( Read more... )

i. Something I love about the slush pile is the names. Oh man, the names! They are fannish with weird regularity. Last week, I rejected queries by a Harris and a Rosenberg in succession. Today, I got to write a polite note to Mr. Scotty! I don't remember what his query was about, but I hope it was something like A Guide to Practical Engineering in ( Read more... )

A very important question: why did no one tell me that Dramatic License is the best Highlander episode ever?? EVER. So far I am eight minutes in, I have never seem Adrian Paul have such fun before, both Amanda and Duncan have dramatically read aloud from a romance novel, and I have already choked half to death on my own laughter about ten times ( Read more... )

Closing ye olde tabs, which means it is time for linkspam with commentary!

+ Series 6 Doctor Who to be split in two, which I'm sure everyone and their grandmother already knows. I am totally fine with a halfway cliffhanger, because it means More Plot, and, god help me, I actually trust Moffat with plot. (I should probably learn from the past, ( Read more... )

I think I have contracted some sort of disease of polyfannishness. I mean, I'm not actually complaining, but ... my usual fandom mode is total immersion. I am currently writing a ridiculously epic Highlander fic, simmering some due South, White Collar, Doctor Who, Dark is Rising, and possibly Avatar fics on the backburner, still meaning to go ( Read more... )

I'm not quite sure how this came about -- probably it came into my head from the combination of a discussion on rereading Harry Potter and something I saw in the Thirty Days of Fanfic meme that's going around -- but I have been thinking about Fandom Firsts. Okay, you've got a new fandom: what was the first fic you remember reading? Did it make any ( Read more... )
