13) Do you prefer canon or fanon when you write? Has writing fanfic for a fandom changed the way you see some or even all of the original source material?I prefer to base things on canon, certainly. And I don't generally wilfully ignore it unless it's done something to especially piss me off, so much that I have to ignore that part in order to ( Read more... )

I'm going to talk about Leverage for a little while, since I can't sleep and people are only upsetting me. It may be obvious that Leverage is currently the show of my heart (if not you may not have been paying attention). I finished watching S2 last week and the end wrecked me. I'm glad I don't have to wait as long as everyone else did for the ( Read more... )

Outside world fail: Homophobia and racism on rise in Northern Ireland, survey shows - no, not surprising per se. If you've seen NI news lately, not surprising at all. In the past fortnight, we've had Romanian families forced to leave NI for Romania after racist assaults, the church which gave these families temporary shelter being stoned, and a ( Read more... )

*g* So, okay, I've ordered Psych S2, though I also streamed episode 1 (the one with the take on American Idol), I had Starbucks after work, and bought myself another film in HMV's sale. I have not, as yet, written anything. I did go to see Twilight

I think this was probably from scrollgirl at one point. But I'm watching Studio 60 right now, and while there are many things I love about the show, its treatment of its women is so far from one of them. Not its women characters, but what the show does to them. So I thought I'd try and finish this post. I guess it may kind of be a ' fuck you, she's awesome' ( Read more... )

Firstly, you guys, it freaks me out when I am the first one on my flist to link to stuff:
Dollhouse trailerFrom upfronts, so a little rough-cutty, but still much with the awesomeness. And the Eliza kicking ass, and Tahmoh Penikett being all lawman. My current problem is, none of the media previews I've read actually sound like what Joss says the ( Read more... )

This is why I am so frequently confused by feedback or lack thereof. This is much better than this, no? I'm not complaining, God no - the one with the squee is the one I was less sure about, with the animated het-porn, but it's weird.

Also strange but cool, people seem to have quite liked the Torchwood apocalyptic gen, which is nice. I liked that ( Read more... )

First off, rec: Maps of Other Places by raedbard - Who makes my 10,000 words seem rather piddling, and my Big Themes TM even more so :) A long and slow build-up, and inevitable break-down of a relationship dealing with more than one taboo. Professor Ziegler, German emigre, and his relationship with undergrad Sam Seaborn. It hurts, but in all the good ways ( Read more... )
