I really miss fandom.  I just haven't been able to get into a fandom, and therefore the fic world, since Heroes collapsed for me.  I haven't even logged in at Archive Of Our Own in months.  But tonight I decided to go over there just for the heck of it.  I discovered that the five fics I've copied over there have several dozen hits each, which make ( Read more... )

The Good Day Meme

Every day for 30 days, people should post one thing about their day that was good. No bad things should be mentioned in the vicinity of the meme. Even if your day was rubbish and all you've got is "I saw a pretty flower on my way home," then you still post about it in all of its pretty flower glory and forget the rest.

OK, I have ( Read more... )

Titles for fanfic that I would read, based solely on the title:

• How Luke Skywalker Got His Groove Back
  
• Mohinder's Angels
  
• The Day Captain Jack Harkness Didn't Think About Sex At All (And Not Because He Was Dead Again)
  
• Veronica Mars Winchester
  
• Abbott and Costello Meet Sylar

My husband just made me realize that there is Wesley/The Traveler slash fic out there.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I have been so disconnected from anything on TV or in fandom lately.  I just can't care about any shows - even getting my Moonlight DVDs didn't excite me.

Then I saw the Torchwood trailer.

Ah, Torchwood.  How I've missed you.  I'm just going to close my eyes and think of Owen.  And compose a long letter to BBC America demanding a fucking definite air ( Read more... )

So this morning, Boyfriend and I were loading up the defective TV stand into my car so that we can return it after work tonight. And I had noticed earlier that there was a dark SUV that had crawled down the street, stopped in the street, and then parked in front of the rental duplex next door. (One tends to be sensitive to these sorts of things ( Read more... )

I am excited because I just got my name in News of the Weird for the second time as a NewsRanger, helping to bring local weirdness to the world's attention. Yeaaa! (In my mind, I'm saying that in a Dave Lister kind of voice. You know that episode of Red Dwarf where he takes the Cosmopolitan quiz and his result is that he's a "sexy beast"? It's that ( Read more... )

Okay. I was trying to take a hiatus from being online from last night till tomorrow because I just plain have too much going on in real life and needed to concentrate on it.  (BTW, I went out with the guy I met online for a second time last night, and it went quite well.)  But then I got this idea in my head. And, as ideas will, it has spent all ( Read more... )

I was spending my day being disgusted with the BBC, for having the nerve to threaten to sue fans who knit cuddly versions of Doctor Who monsters.  But then I see this headline on the BBC World News website:

I do not freaking believe this.  I have not been this pissed at an officiating team since the days of Don Koharski.  This is just utter utter crap.  So, apparently the Avs can blatantly slash people and blatantly leave their feet to slam them into the boards right in front of the linesmen, and totally get away with it, but when Marian Gaborik ( Read more... )
