I apparently suck forever at updating. Expect a better post soon, but in quick and dirty iPhone form:
- saw X-Men First Class and kind of loved it a whole lot, even though it sent my inner fangirl into waves of rage at the incorrect canon. May also have started writing Alex/Hank/Raven against my will.
- have been watching Game of Thrones (but am

It's pretty awesome. I did like the way the film represented Charles/Erik because I mean, as someone who's a huge fan of the comic book series, they've always been that gay for each other and I feel like the movie represented that pretty well lol. On the whole, I feel like it did a good job. It was weird that they put Alex Summers (who's Cyclops little brother) in and as a character who would be significantly older than Scott in the film canon and Mystique never grew up with Charles in the way that she did in the movie. Also, in terms of canon, Mystique and Azazel totally hook up and have awesome sex and an awesome baby and I was kind of hoping we'd at least get some interaction in the film (when we got zilch). The era was pretty awesomely set though and pretty unique, so that was cool.

Game of Thrones is so amazing I could cry. None of my friends have watched it either (bar my housemate who I forced into watching it lol), but it starts airing on TV here in July, so fingers crossed I'll be able to flail loudly and obnoxiously then.

It really bothers me when authors are so anti-fandom. Anne Rice is the same, and I've always hated that. I mean, if I was in that position, I always feel I'd be a lot more flattered? Idk. It also gets word of your book out there and shows that people are engaging not only with your writing but with the characters and the worlds you've created and I don't get why anyone would be against that. =/ Weirdness.
