So I did as I threatened and wrote up a commentary for this story I wrote, which may be entirely narcissistic and self-indulgent but you know, whatever! Here's the first half of the fic with bonus commentary. I might do the next half later.

Obviously, don't read this if you haven't read the original story.

PART ONE

( Welcome to Merton, new exchange students! )

1. So, we had an election! Another one, I mean. Unfortunately the dude I didn't want to get elected got elected, instead of the awesome progressive dude (yeah, they're all dudes) who said stuff about how he supported equal rights for LGBT people, women and racial minorities and also spoke out against the Internal Security Act. Well I guess that's ( Read more... )

I'll be honest: those pictures of Andrew & Emma out on a date at Nobu (Tumblr link, cos I'm lazy) make me so uncomfortable not just for the way they look really sad but also the way Emma's walking behind him all the time. I mean, I realise that they're looking as awkward as they do at least partially because they are getting their picture taken by ( Read more... )

So I'm writing an AU where Andrew Garfield attends Oxford and Jesse Eisenberg is an exchange student there. This is... an outtake of that universe, if you will. It was a cool writing exercise to do! But really I wanted an excuse to write "lesbian bros in love".

… aka, the once in a blue moon fannish post.

So I always thought bandom had ruined me forever for fpf - you know, the fanfiction involving actual fictional people instead of real people and their quasi-fictional media constructs - but yesterday I read this TSN story and its commentary, and what do you know, actual stirring interest in a fictional ( Read more... )

I am back in the UK! Back in my regular room, and one hundred percent unpacked for once. This is a Rare Feeling. I even have all my postcards and photos up on my notice board, and have gone grocery shopping. I have - get this - decanted my (uncooked) pasta and rice into separate tupperware containers. This is an indication of how organised I intend ( Read more... )

So through sheer - well, not sheer boredom, sheer, uh, excess of HOLIDAY I have been reading some TSN RPF lately, including the epic and gorgeous carry it in my heart, and already I am like. Guys. Guys. Andrew Garfield is so lovely, and Jesse Eisenberg so... Jesse, and I don't exactly see myself getting invested in this fandom (that's what they ( Read more... )
