I wrote two things for Yuletide.

The Spoiler and the Bat-Girl versus the Mechanical Menaces - Batgirl (DC Comics) - Steph/Cass, G. 1,180 words. An entry from Steph's diary in a steampunk AU. Our heroine is joined by a dashing and mysterious figure while fighting a troop of evil clockwork men. Full of Florid Victoriana. (The recipient mentioned ( Read more... )

General info: Hello, and thank you for offering to write me a fic! I like Yuletide to make me happy. One of my prompts contains some inherent angst, but I generally just request that you write something you enjoy, that is fun and hopefully cheerful at the end to read. A couple of my main squicks/triggers to avoid, please, include killing off my ( Read more... )

This Saturday, May 5, is Free Comic Book Day. Everyone should attend and get some comics for me, since I have to miss it and two different people's birthday parties to do filming for the 48 Hour Film Project (yay!). Which means that info about our screening will be coming up shortly.

Also this month I've been reccing Smallville fic in crack_van. SV used to ( Read more... )

So my birthday weekend consisted of less fun and productivity than I had wanted and instead way more of being sick and sitting around feeling grumpy and icky. :/

I started reading it last week and I am really liking it so far! I like the writing, the art, the characters, the little meta jokes, the demographics, the premise, the interrelationships, pretty much everything. I also like that it is clearly set in the Marvel universe but is fairly standalone, as I do not know much about the Marvel universe yet ( ( Read more... )

So, remember this post about how sansets and I were worried that we'd had a fanboy conversation? Yeah, after that we went on at one point to have a long discussion about how it is not actually at all intellectual to discuss who would win in a fight, and also boring besides, and can never be conclusively proved ( Read more... )

1. For Yuletide I wrote How Horses Came To The Desert, worksafe gen about Diana Wynne Jones' Tough Guide To Fantasyland. I received The Things We Say Are True by be_themoon which is Gwen/Penny from Sky High and is awesome, and an anonymous femslash ficlet based on the song Boys Boys Boys by Lady Gaga. I always get better than I give for Yuletide ( Read more... )

The news is that I have rejoined the staff of sv_ledger. I felt like I should be doing SOMETHING to contribute to fandom somehow, since I haven't been posting fic, and plus I missed working with the other editors, who are all aces. So I'm on-duty for that right now and getting back into the link-gathering swing of things ( Read more... )

1. The Washington Post had an article this morning about the backlog in the copyright office (apparently their new faster system for registering stuff is actually slower) and it was incredibly frustrating, talking about how people were "waiting sixteen months to get their copyrights" and saying things like "you don't need a copyright to publish or ( Read more... )
