I think the best thing "Once Upon a Time" did, was to create terrifying, manipulative, and ultimately, sympathetic Evil Queen. The next best thing was to create a anti-heroine who wouldn't fall short of that. And wasn't perfect.

I do things slowly. Very slowly. Though I joined AO3 for the 2009 Yuletide, I didn't bother uploading older stories to it until... well, now. Same with Dreamwidth. There wasn't any grand reason; I was just very, very apathetic.

But finally, finally, I'm starting to cross-post. I feel like setting off fireworks.

So. Uh. Yeah! I'm still me at ( Read more... )

I feel like I've been outside of fandom for so long, I'm not even sure how to be in fandom now. Seriously. In between the time I slowed down on writing and fandom (excepting, somewhat, my Doctor Who period) and now, I've approached my tenth year (!) on LJ, Dreamwidth is the new place to be, and I haven't written anything NOT for a charity auction, ( Read more... )

Is anyone participating in help_haiti? I'm offering a fic here and I'd like to see if someone on my flist has also participated so I can seek you all out. Have made a donation to Doctors Without Borders, but I feel relatively useless so after a bit of thought, I'm participating. Hopefully, it'll help out in a tiny way ( Read more... )

The midnight premiere was a lot of fun, though I mostly abstained from the activities going around me. (WHEN DID FANS GET THIS YOUNG? I feel old.) There were some interesting costumes; there were two girls dressed in nothing but pillowcases, a guy in Ron's dreadful dress robes from the fifth mobie (a rather brilliant job, actually), and even a gal ( Read more... )

I am surprisingly both hysterically excited and rather apathetic about the sixth movie. But I have my midnight tickets. I'm dragging someone along ( Read more... )

Being in-between fandoms is kind of boring.

I've been reading a lot of X-men movieverse fiction lately, especially Logan/Rogue (which is, in itself, kind of odd since I've been a fan of Rogue/Gambit since forever) and a lot of it is really well-written. Unfortunately, due to the years post X1, a lot of the links I'm hitting are dead or gone. But ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I had my nieces beg me to take them to the weekend premiere of "Twilight". These are the nieces who are often too cool to go out with me. (I guess I've been relegated to Crazy Aunt status, while my sister wins the coveted 'Cool Aunt' status ( Read more... )

I'm just the teensiest bit nervous. I don't do well under time constraints (as many of you had firsthand experience with) but I've wanted to participate in Yuletide for the past five years. I kept putting it off because college was going on and then I was in Japan for three years (which sucked me dry in terms of creative output). But I think ( ( Read more... )

Having bought a permanent account, I'm pretty annoyed that LJ's on the road of ruin in regards to fandom. I'm essentially here for fandom; I post very little about my real life. Or rather, I post very few substantial things. I have a private, handwritten journal for that and it serves me fine. LJ is, mostly, fandom for me ( Read more... )
