It's been forever!
Or at least a really long time since I updated here.
There hasn't been a lot going on beyond fannish love, and there have been so many other things to do (RL is being very, very RL-ish) that updating here has slowed down.
So a short list of numbered points.
1. I watched all of Merlin. I am madly in love with Anthony Stewart Head as Uther. I am not so much slashing Merlin and Arthur - in that I really don't see myself writing them, though I've read a bit. My ships are apparently Uther/Morgana (because omg, hit all my kinks at once except the slash one) and Uther/Gaius and, er, Uther/Arthur . I'm also fond of Uther/Merlin and Gwen/Morgana but a lot of my fondness is more going awww about what's onscreen - that's how I am with Merlin/Arthur too, really.
2. I will be catching up on everything I need to do (owed beta read, fixing up a meme back a ways so new people can guess the unguessed, closing out the "OTPs" meme) as soon as I can. Apologies for how long it's been, but this week looks good for things happening.
3. I'm going to see Cliff Richard in February. I adore him. So this is all for the good.
4. Weirdly, I have somehow or other fallen insanely in love with an RPS fandom. No, that's not the weird part. The weird part is that I have not seen the source of the RPS fandom (it's Star Trek Reboot). I know (oh how I know) it's not necessary to see the source or even listen to the music for music-based RPS, but it feels weird somehow (and yes, there is a DVD purchase in my future, of course, plus the novelisation is waiting for me to pick it up). But there's so much lovely fic and I do at least know most of the actors from something - Karl Urban (LOTR and Xena), Zachary Quinto (Heroes), John Cho (was in an episode of The Magnificent Seven and one of House, plus other things I have apparently seen), I actually did buy a movie Chris Pine was in for research (plus, I actually wanted to see it before I had an interest in Chris - Just My Luck with Lindsay Lohan - I actually like her acting), Leonard Nimoy (er, well, do I need to say where I know him from?), Ben Cross (who there should be fic about, dammit!), Chris Hemsworth (Home & Away, oh my faily but lovely show, how you reward your long term fans), Zoe Saldana (Pirates Of The Caribbean), Simon Pegg (Spaced and Doctor Who), Jennifer Morrison (House) and all the rest I haven't mentioned. But I'm writing madly in this fandom, and loving it! I ship everyone/everyone as usual and wish the women who weren't Zoe (who I do like) would get a bit more action in the RPF.
5. It's nearly my birthday - well, in a couple weeks. I'll be forty. I'm okay with that.
6. I have apparently acquired an RPF OTP. An actual OTP. A "I don't want to know about them with anyone else except under very specific circumstances". A DOOMED OTP. Well, actually, an Already Tragic OTP is probably more like it. Who? See icon. Yes. I am Officially OTP about James Dean and Sal Mineo (very specific circumstances - I don't want them with anyone else as long as both are alive but I can accept Sal with someone else after Jimmy's death). I blame the Peter Lawford hosted documentary on my Rebel Without A Cause DVD where Sal says he can still feel Jimmy around sometimes. It's just... so epic. And doomed. And James and Sal.
