I now have my intoabar assignment. And, I must say, when I opened up the e-mail and found out what I'd be writing, I let out this sound -- a sort of a choking laugh, I think -- that was so loud it startled the cats.

Fun meme-y thing seen somewhere on my flist:

Go look at your blog/journal. Find the last Fandom-related thing you posted. The characters in that post are now your team-mates in the Zombie Apocalypse. How fucked are you?Well, I didn't actually mention any characters in my last post on the "30 days of fic" meme, so I guess that takes me back to the ( Read more... )

Oh, man. I just re-re-watched the Pretender Christmas episode for the rebuilding_sl27 rewatch. (Which more of you really should participate in, by the way, because a) it is lots of fun, and b) my comments are very lonely.) Somehow, I never, never get tired of that freaky, twisted, yet still earnestly Christmassy episode ( Read more... )

Lo, the great Pretender re-watch is now underway at rebuilding_sl27, with spoiler and non-spoiler discussion posts to accommodate everybody. I'm not going to get the chance to rewatch the pilot, myself, until later tonight or tomorrow, but I'm looking forward to it, and I hope there'll be some good participation so we can get some fun discussion going ( Read more... )
