1. Think of up to 20 ships you support.
2. List them using descriptions of the characters involved rather than their names.
3. Have your f-list guess as many of the ships as they can.
4. Fandom hints will be given if asked in the comments.

a.) loud, acts ditzy, eats hamburgers constantly/hair-trigger temper, can't hold his liquor, tea- ( Read more... )

Name a character from one of my fandoms and I will reply saying:

• How I FEEEEEL about this character
• All the people I ship romantically with this character
• My non-romantic OTP for this character
• My unpopular opinion about this character
• One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

... to pimp a new fic fest! There's an upcoming OFC fic fest being run by arabwel. Scheduling, as I understand it, is still vague - after NaNoWriMo, though. (No, I'm not doing that, I have enough fics to write.)

But, as someone with quite a few OCs to my name, and also someone who is sick of the term Mary Sue being lobbed at every OFC (and some canon women ( Read more... )

So, here is my much-delayed second essay/meta discussing fanfiction in general. I do want to add a disclaimer; none of these are supposed to be guidelines, per se, since I wouldn't want to tell someone how to write their fics. It's just what I've found to be true for me, and also hopefully to start discussion in the comments about what other people ( Read more... )

So, I've been rather absent on LJ and Twitter lately, I do apologize. I've been drifting around the Internet but not being very sociable, that's very hermit-like of me. I should be on Twitter more, we shall see how it goes.

Give me a fandom and I will tell you:

+ Favorite female and male character
+ Favorite scene
+ Favorite ship
+ Unpopular opinion

Any fandoms in my tags are fair game. :)

I went to an advance screening of the new Hugh Jackman movie, Real Steel, tonight. It was pretty good, feel-good movie mixed in with an action flick vibe. And a little bit of a sports-movie feel. I'm afraid to say anything else because they actually searched us to prevent anyone recording it and I don't want Disney hunting me down over spoilers. ( Read more... )

So, this was probably not my brightest idea, but I signed up for h/c bingo. Not my brightest move because I've got things to write already, but... I figured, why not?

Some of these are going to be tricky. We'll see how I do.

So, I picked this blog post up from _profiterole_'s LJ, and... Well, it doesn't surprise me, really. Now, I'm not going to say that every agent will reject a YA book for having a gay character or a poly character in it - the writers themselves acknowledge that.

But the fact that it could be one of the reasons and in some cases is? Yeah, that gets to me. YA books ( Read more... )

So, following on from my rather bleak Writer's Block post - which I'm still half-thinking maybe I had no right to do - here's something considerably more cheerful and returning to the usual fandom fare around here.

One of my newly-discovered favorite authors (anyone who likes Supernatural and Good Omens, I have a fic rec for you unless you're ( Read more... )
