I don't know about anyone else, but when I'm working on a fic, it tends to live in an open document down on my taskbar. The consequence of this is - especially with short fic or my ever-growing list of WIPs- a tendency to use that open document as a notepad, so there are  a ton of smaller fics and half-finished fics that list side by side with ( Read more... )

So my sister has been watching Angel recently, and it's not entirely my thing, but never in my life have I so much wanted to make an icon than when I saw this get up:

Trying to stifle laughter is hard...darn library. But in any case, I felt the need to share this comic: http://english.bouletcorp.com/2012/02/01/darkness/

About a guy sharing an apartment with the platonic ideal of the hot dark angsty character-type. Go read!

Oh my god. Rory and Amy and the Doctor are just so damn adorable I don't think I can take it. (This has really nothing to do with the most recent episode itself, it's just my general reaction any time they're on my TV).  Especially Rory.  It's his face. He does a kicked puppy look that's just impossible not to go "awww" at ( Read more... )

I'm not going to end up with a fangirl crush on Misha Collins. I'm not. I'm not. I got through my teens without going gooey over any celebrity/actor, i'm not going to start now. No. I just refuse. No matter how many adorably dorky photos he posts of himself hugging an elvis statue. No. No. No.

I'm really starting to hate that man. I'm trying to ( Read more... )

It's a very random topic, but I ended up thinking a little about fic summaries- namely, what catches my attention, and what automatically makes me skip it. And I'm not talking details here, like "oh, it's an xyz-fic, I hate those". Nah, I'm specifically of how they're formulated ( Read more... )

I was reflecting on the few bits of fic I've written, and I've realized something about how disproportionately I dole out  pain and suffering. Apropos of nothing, and I'm not sure what it says about me, if anything.

It's a very small sample, but this is what I've got (and some of these may never leave my hard drive):

Or, more accurately 'haunting reflections on past and present with photoshop'. Check sergey_larenkov out if you've got a minute. It's very cool. They're photos of  modern-day city scenes freely blended with their WWII counterparts.

Ooh, this made monday better:

I don't even know how I stumbled across this, but check this out. I only vaguely know who this actress is, but damn, I like her, just from this alone. At comic-con, she was asked if she'd ever consider taking on 'lighter' (I'm guessing that actually means "more feminine") roles.

Let's just say she had a strong opinion on that one, and wasn't afraid ( Read more... )
