I was wondering to myself, how is it that I can be a fan of some of Joss Whedon's things, while other stuff he does just makes me want to punch him in the face? (And no, not just the killing characters ( Read more... )

I've been doing some backreading in the motivator thread on TWoP and found all these posts going "In my fandom, the geeks look like this. We win." Well, I have waaaay too many fandoms for something like that, and so instead, I'm doing a geekery picspam of lots of cute geek characters. (I would say "hot" geek characters, except that two of them are ( Read more... )

This was actually a reply to a question angorian asked in comments to this post, but it became too insanely long, so now it's a post of its own ( Read more... )

I figured I'd do that five favourite fanfics of my own meme - I can never pass a chance to self-pimp a bit. It was incredibly hard; my first list had nineteen titles, and that was still smushing up those stories that are part of series'.

Okay, there is one plot element in Serenity that seems to have people in wildly different camps when it comes to what was actually told and why. I explored my own view in the fic I wrote, and I know plenty of people agree with me (I googled some keywords). But I've also seen comments that indicate that this view is completely foreign to some ( Read more... )

I feel I should be handing out cookies to every reviewer who doesn't liken Mal to Han Solo. Yes, there are similarities, but they're not big enough to excuse this hivemind reviewing. It's like the guests at the party in A Murder Is Announced, who each said the same two opening lines and each thought they were terribly original ( Read more... )

Have been reading Serenity reviews off Rotten Tomatoes, and this quote from the Hollywood Bitchslap review just so utterly nails my issues with Joss that I had to repost it here.
