No, I am not pissed off. It's just a related icon.

I'm trying to read Anne Bishop's latest Black Jewels book, Twilight's Dawn. It's been hard going. I made a little progress yesterday and today. I have heard spoilers (though apparently not all of them), and it has made me very, very reluctant to finish the book.

We just finished watching Mobile Suit Gundam Wing on Sunday night, and watched Endless Waltz last night. I'm still a litle stunned. I think of my usual habit of trying to devour anime that I can find online in just a few days, and I think as much as I wanted to do that, it was a really good idea we took a few weeks to watch this. That was mostly ( Read more... )

You know, people write anonymous letters to fan fiction writers on those wank communities, but this is so endemic to what I've tried to read lately that it doesn't need to be anonymous. No single writer could possibly feel singled out, because I can't think of a single fic I've read that doesn't have at least one of these errors in it ( Read more... )

I am fairly easy to please in most ways. Getting a story all my own would just make me ridiculously happy. The only way I'm picky is that I tend to find a trend of "same old same old" in my chosen teeny fandoms. I hope that doesn't throw you off too much.

Damn, I have the ear.

So, I'm speed watching Shattered Angels on Hulu (because it's going to expire in the next 2 days). The main character has this annoying habit of voicing her inner thoughts as letters to a prince she dreams about. The letters are very schoolgirlish, and I kept visualizing Anna Rochefort from Le Chevalier D'Eon. Anna spent most ( Read more... )

Something in my head just shattered into happy little pieces today. I had heard vagueness about competing Yamato projects being in the works, but what I heard didn't come close to preparing me for what I discovered today. Thank you, TV Tropes.

Umm, a little backstory...

My mail lady brought me both Galaxy Railways and Deceiver at once. Now I have to choose!

Or a batch of cookies, but no, the cookies would show up stale or be murdered by the Post Awful. And I can't really afford to send a fruit basket now. It's sad that I can't. The B! is working again. I only check around every six months or so and totally missed this one. He's in A Little Night Music on Broadway. How cool is that?

And Michael Maguire ( Read more... )

I know the world is a different place than it was when George RR Martin was a comic fan and budding writer, but the fact that he started publishing in fanzines first just gives me heart. I don't know why. And the record of different things he's worked on. When people first started talking about A Song of Ice and Fire around me. I kept running the ( Read more... )
