Twelve episodes down, one to go. SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND is almost done for the year, and it's *amazing* to think that I am seriously looking forward to the season finale of this bizarre TV show. I started watching it because Maurissa Tancharoen was plugging it on Twitter, which *she* was doing because she and the hubby had just gotten hired to ( Read more... )

hey, remember back in the NSFW SPARTACUS primer, when I said that my bet was on Crixus to become the fan-favorite character on the show?

The two shows I am actually into at the moment are SPARTACUS and I DREAM OF JEANNIE.

Now you know the depths of my shame.

Tonight, I will beta test the SPARTACUS drinking game. I thought about this *very hard,* people. For *more than five minutes ( Read more... )

Today on the internet I was retweeted by two SPARTACUS actresses and had a brief exchange with the interim host of THIS WEEK. Not bad for a guy with 62 Twitter followers, a third of them spam. Tomorrow, back to obscurity ( Read more... )

It's funny, but my SPARTACUS office AU, which I wrote pretty deliberately as badfic, reminds me just how much I really dislike fanfic AUs. Part of this is because it turned out worse than I intended, looking at it, but part of it has to do with the nature of fanfic AUs in general ( Read more... )
