You know those moments when you realize you're living in the future? Like when you suddenly just think "I have entire libraries worth of books at my fingertips and I'm publishing messages to people all over the world while I'm sitting in my bedroom!"

So I had one of those, but it involved fandom and literature. This is going somewhere, and connects ( Read more... )

Okay, so I admit that I'm really bad at finishing memes, but I love this one too much not to post it:

(Stolen from miss_slipslop)
Pick a character I've written/am likely to know about and I will give and explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing/imagining that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them.

And if I ( Read more... )

I think I ship Kristy/Sunny. (Okay, so there is a very short list of people I don't ship Kristy with. Why am I like this? I don't know.)

Anyway, the problem is that I don't feel the need to write Kristy/Sunny fic (at least not right anyway,) because I have it.

It's called RENT. Joanne/Marueen is my Kristy/Sunny fanfic.
Eta: Sunny is totally bi by the ( Read more... )

So, I'm back at work (and by work I mean writing. The things I get paid to do don't count.) There will be new Life in Stoneybrook this weekend!

In the mean time, I look back with this meme from miss_slipslop.

( Review and Resolutions under the cut. )

So, I'm taking the weekend off from my usual Life in Stoneybrook updates. There's this little holiday things going on.

Also, I got bit by another rabid plot bunny, but this one is really causing me problems. For one thing, it's huge. For another, I have no idea if anyone wants to read it. And for a third, the opening part of it is possibly the most ( Read more... )

Favorite couple not in canon: Well, I have a few, but have I mentioned my OTP? I'll have to go with Kristy and Mary Anne (though Kristy and Cary Retlin is deffinitly second.)

However, I have some thoughts on Kristy and Mary Anne, so if you're not afraid of tl;dr, you can read them below the cut.

( In which I go on for several paragraphs about psychology and limit my squeeing to one paragraph, I promise. )

9. Favorite minor character: I said before that it's Charlie, and I do like Charlie a lot, but lately I've been falling in love with Cary Retlin. I have a fatal weakness for witty intelligent male characters. And can I say, I love his bedroom? If there was a day for "Which BSC characters bedroom do you want," my answer would be Cary's hands down.

I know I posted this yesterday, but California Diaries was giving me flashbacks to My So-Called Life. So much so that today I googled My So-Called life, because I haven't actually watched it since it was on TV. Turns out, hulu has all the episodes, so I re-watched the pilot.

Seriously. Seriously. If you like California Diaries and never watched My ( Read more... )

4th prompt: Least favorite regular book

Kristy in Charge. Oh god, this book. Teachers of Tomorrow. Spaz girl. There are only two things I like about this book. One is, more Cary Retlin. The other is that someday, when I have children and am trying to convince them to home school, I will read them this book as the best anti-school propaganda ever ( Read more... )

Prompt the second: Least favorite sitter

Another easy one. I dislike Dawn Schafer. A lot. As I said in my bsc_stamped application, it's for entirely personal reasons. She came between my OTP, and the preteen in me will never forgive her.

Because of that, I tended to avoid the Dawn books. And since I was out growing the BSC when California Diaries came out, I ( Read more... )
