the beautiful side of fandom
1. 2010 Big Bang fic author and artist reveal - this post is flocked, but for those you don't know about it, you might want to join and take a look. there are pairings for everyone. over 300 fics to be posted, all involving Jared or Jensen, Sam or Dean.
2. Dean/Castiel Secret Angels III fic exchange author reveal - wow, it's been a long ride. 100 fics already posted. i'll be reposting mine here later today. i'm not 100% pleased by my entries, but i'm glad i participated. i'm not anti-challenge like i used to be.
3. surprise fanart in the middle of the night!!! yay, time zones! to be posted eventually.
I will be thinking of all of these when paranoia keeps me up half the night. Why am I paranoid? Reality isn't ever what I think it is, and that is pretty normal. Fandom scares me sometimes too. I'm pretty grateful that I've had some fantastic con experiences, been able to post the fics I truly wanted to post, and shared pictures and supported artists and fans I've wanted to support. I'm most grateful for the friends. I honestly don't have the patience or stomach to handle wank or anon memes. Literally, I feel ill. Or could that be the lack of food, water, nicotine, and sleep + PMS this whole week? Where is that eraser for my brain? Has someone invented that yet? Speaking of paranoia...
PBS Frontline is the only TV journalism worth watching anymore. This weekend I've watched reports on vaccines, for-profit colleges, the practice of 'boy play' in Afghanistan, and health care. It manages to blow my mind at least once every episode. Life-changing a good deal of the time, and an excellent example of fantastic journalism, and journalists willing to risk their lives over and over again for a story. And all are available for free online.
