I'm sensing a common feeling amongst what the hugo folk consider to be the 'new' face of the genre, and it's very penissy. --maevele
I'm having a craving for rice cakes.
Seriously, who craves rice cakes? It's like craving crunchy air. --teand
Somebody should tell Harlan Ellison that the enfant terrible shtick doesn't play well once you're seventy-odd.
And the "wild man" routine wears out, too, sometime after fifty and before sixty-five.
Unfortunately, it appears that he's temperamentally unsuited for the "elder statesman" role (since it requires the ability to at least fake good manners in public) and has opted instead to audition for the role of "embarrassing elderly relative we can't disown take anywhere without having him make a scene." --malkingrey
In this novel, the hero keeps talking about “marking” the heroine so everyone will know she belongs to him. This would be gross enough as is, but since the book involves wolf shapeshifters, I kept thinking he was planning to pee on her. --rachelmanija on Nalini Singh's Slave to Sensation
Lately, I seem to be unable to write anything that doesn't have to do with pie. ("Do you write humor? Action? Romance?" "Actually, I mainly write dessert.") --tallulah_rasa
There are those (*waves* *g*) who would undoubtedly argue that Skynet wasn't the bad guy and was more like a scared child. I agree, but have to point out it was a scared child with a direct line to the red button and an army of killer cyborgs. So. You know. Bad Skynet, BAD. Just you wait 'til your father gets home. --halcyon_shift
You know, when you really think about it, money is 90% a shared delusion. I just wish I could convince my credit card companies of this. --tafkarfanfic
Going into this vid, what I knew about T:SCC was that the dude from Heroes is John Connor, and Sarah Connor has sex with Glaubot, and John and Glaubot also have a thing going on, except possibly Glaubot is human except she's not, because she has a robot face. (SD helpfully clarified the human-robot face thing for me, after laughing.) On top of that, it's been easily a decade since I last saw T1 and T2, and I don't know that I've ever seen T3.
What I know about the Terminator franchise after this vid is that John and Sarah Connor are DOOMED (also doomed: the rest of us - see above re: oh noes, robots!), and no matter how many things change in their timelines, Sarah will always have sex with that one dude. --greensilver on Land
By golly, I might have cancer but at least I didn't catch a cold. --fan_eunice on avoiding con crud
