First order and a half of business: for a class I am now keeping a Tumblr of illustrations that inspire me, fifteen a week, and after that requirement is fulfilled I plan to rename and go on using it recreationally. So it's here, if any of y'all want to follow, and I will follow you back later on when I'm no longer being graded on it ( Read more... )

Back in October 2009 I wrote mayhap a NYR fic about a pairing; it happened to be Hilary Thorpe/Viscount St. George, I wrote it because otherwise I would've gotten banned from Yuletide, and it was the first fic I had posted in two and a half years. Having written that much, I kind of looked at the pairing and went "Hey, it would be fun to give these two a ( Read more... )

Okay, so I just finished reading writingispurdy's The Magic of Deduction, which is John/Sherlock Hogwarts AU with liberal and excellent use of characters from the TV show and the books and generally just completely lovely. It makes me want to go write things RIGHT NOW but I have a dentist appointment that I need to leave for in half an hour and I haven't ( Read more... )

The person who prompted that fic apologized-- and pretty classily, too. The person who wrote it is, I suspect, beyond hope.

But look, guys. This is also a world that contains cream cheese and extra-crunchy peanut butter and bagels to toast and spread these things onto. And Castle. And Star Trek. And nicely shoveled sidewalks to lug my laundry ( Read more... )

I think I wrote something along these lines in a comment somewhere last summer, but I guess I better post about it again, because people: still assholes, film at eleven.

Cut for discussion of the Holocaust, and of how not to respond to people you've triggered, and general tl;dr. Same warnings apply to the link above.

( Now say you happen to be really fond of the movie Inception, and for some Godforsaken reason you choose to express this fondness by changing the main character to a concentration camp guard named Kolben. )

Hello, Internet! Many trivial and exciting things have happened to me since I got back to Bethlehem. I worked 22 hours! I bought a really cute new cosmetics case! I watched season 1 of DS9 and am just starting the last season of TNG! I saw two people from my high school class who didn't recognize me, and one who was really happy to see me and I am ( Read more... )

LONDON IS AWESOME and I suck because I am taking no pictures! Sometimes I draw things, and those will be up on Wordpress when I get home, but basically I am tremendously happy and never remember to post to LJ about it and probably never will. Sorry.

Meanwhile, in more normal-type news, catwalksalone is doing an It's Okay To Say I Love You fest, about how it is ( Read more... )

That Holocaust AU fic is back up. I have better things to do than go shout at people some more, and also that would be incredibly unproductive for everyone, because apparently enough of fandom already thinks that Jewish people are lurking all around them JUST WAITING TO BE OFFENDED AND DOGPILE THEM. But she erased all the comments saying anything ( Read more... )

I survived my dentist appointment with relative ease! Yay ( Read more... )

You will all be pleased, or horrified, or something, to know that I have requested a schmoop_bingo card. I am going to try really hard not to fill the whole thing up with Hilary/St. George-- which I have written a whole lot of in the last several months, even though not much of it has actually been posted so far-- but I promise nothing ( Read more... )
