It occurred to me while watching Buck Rogers on Tubi that I put Colonel Wilma Deering in my Top Ten Favorite Female Sci-Fi Characters list so I went to have a look at it. I apparently hadn't updated it since I first posted it in 2009. It felt woefully behind the times to me so I gave it a major overhaul. I didn't throw out all my old favorites ( Read more... )

Offer me a trope (freeform, or tvtropes terminology -- your call), and I'll rank it on a scale of "no/rather not/dunno/I guess/ sure/yes/fuck yes/oh God you don't even know," and possibly sprout a mini-rant along with it. In response, you're getting the same number of tropes from me, which you can either take as a prompt to ( Read more... )

There's a thought I've seen around on FaceBook and LiveJournal. Most recently I saw it in beeej's journal. It goes something like this...

"What if there's a parallel universe where--fictional characters are real, real people are fictional characters, and your favorite characters run blogs and write fanfic about you?"I asked her, "Is it bad that ( Read more... )

I wasn't raised by or with a classic "One franchise, and one franchise only" fanboy. Everyone in my family has their favorite science fiction franchise, but we all appreciate each one. The origin dates for Doctor Who, Star Trek, and Star Wars are...

(Classic) Star Trek, September 8, 1966

(Belated birthday wish and happy anniversary will follow in a separate post.)

I've updated My OTP List for Jack/Ianto.
I've updated my Fictional Honorable Mentions list for Stephen Hart.
I've updated one of my Oceans of Time Characters lists for Mel.

( Those Torchwood Boys )

The Methos/Jack drabble was a mistake -- a BIG mistake. I have a growing Methos/Jack story. It's got a working title "Flying the Roost" and a name for the ship the boys are flying around in, "The Condor." No, that isn't a variation of "The Falcon." It's what comes of Methos telling Jack Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid stories. *Facepalm.* ( Read more... )
