OMG fucking Yuletide. Just be done already. I am trying to finish writing this damn thing and it. is. not. moving.

Annotated The Exhaustion of Dawn, my fic for NFE!

Originally, I thought I'd just do some reflective character-based 1000-word thing in about two hours, easy peasy. So what with the traveling to Canada and working like a one-armed paperhanger, I didn't even think about starting to write my NFE until about a week before deadline, whereupon I ( Read more... )

Thinking about a Narnia fic I might write (ought to write: I need to remember how to deal with aggravation through writing fic rather than pulling my hair out and plotting to stab people) involving Lucy stealing an ambulance in the middle of an air raid, so I'm showing a real lack of commitment to getting work done researching Blitz records. So far ( Read more... )

I made miso soup for hot brain food and since it’s instant it doesn’t taste as good, but I am shivering and feel drunk ( Read more... )

I downloaded the Richard Feynman lectures on physics from the Six Easy Pieces selections (and several others, it was a giant folder, I don't remember everything, if you want them I can upload) and was listening to the first one on atoms and their movement on the drive to and from work today (I've got an hour commute each way, I have to make it ( Read more... )

Because I was bored and not focusing on editing the True Blood article like I should have been today, I spammed andi_horton with crack!fic first lines that I'll never write.

• "The worst part about regeneration, the Doctor decided right then, was that if he did die while being passed out the large intestine of this Giant Venusian Mammoth, Donna would never, ( Read more... )

So as you know I have been working on this article for the forthcoming True Blood and Philosophy and it's all about modern feminisms in the context of the show. Since some of you expressed an interest in seeing what I came up with as a definition for third-wave feminism, seeing as how there is so much disagreement and vagueness in any popular or ( Read more... )

Snagged from shinyopals since it was, um, shiny.

Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. (Since I tend to bend rules to my whims and fancies it is actually a shortish passage instead of just a single sentence. Pfffbbbt.)
