oh, shows
*waves hi at newcomers*
People, this week was awesome. Not personally, but fannishly.
Exhibit A: I finished my remix fic and pinch hit and while I have a few issues with both, they are done and not completely shit.
Exhibit B: Community was back, baby! I mean, it has been airing regularly, but it was back to form. Funny, meta and character driven. Plus, Annie's boobs.
Exhibit C: One of my very favorite shows came back on the air, delightfully and true to form. And I'm not talking about Doctor Who. (Okay, I am, but I am also talking about the also very very wonderful Treme.)
People, why are you not talking about this? There was Annie looking so delightfully joyful and happy that I, no joke, started to sing along with my TV. There was hot Khandi and oh, that little boy and his trumpet.
Treme is all about the atmosphere. But of the new developments, here are my thoughts:
John Seda (aka the developer who slasa danced) seems a bit too smooth so far. Almost oily. But I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt. One of the things the show really needs is an antagonist, and I hope that is where they are going with him.
The only part I actually disliked was Sophie's YouTube video. I mean, I appreciated the callback to Creighton in the series premiere (Oh, Creighton) but the delivery and execution were clunky in the extreme.
Also, shirtless PJ Ransome.
Exhibit D: Now I am actually talking about Doctor Who. And what I have to say is: OH MY SHOW YOU ARE BACK AND I LOVE YOU AND PONDS AND RIVER AND ELEVENTY AND EVERYTHING AND CREEPY ALIENS AND TARDIS AND HATS AND LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. I'm not going to talk about the plot yet, mostly because I want to see the rest of the two-parter. (Preferably now, please, Moffat. *grabby hands*)
Exhibit E: I have been all writerly. I get this way around fic exchanges. Something switches on and I end up wanting to write more and more and then I get tired of it and don't write for months. However! This time I am afflicted with a certain awfulness: too many WiPs. (And yet, I started two new ones today, oh, brain.)
Therefore I am making a list of fics I actually want need to finish to force myself to concentrate on them:

Therefore I am making a list of fics I actually want need to finish to force myself to concentrate on them:
- River&Donna, telepathy fic (Doctor Who) - a fill for the female character trope fest that is almost done.
- Rory relationship drabble (Doctor Who) - I was thinking thoughts and am writing them. Novel, I know.
- Veronica Mars / The Good Wife thing (self explanatory) - another fill for the trope fest that I have snippets for but needs a fuckton of work to make it have, idek, logic?
- robot!mark (TSN) - this had been languishing unattended on the kinkmeme for weeks. i need to just put a few hours in and get some more words out.
- Pineapple Bodywash (Old Spice Man / Psych) - this has been half written for almost a year now.
