Hello, Yuletide writer! Thank you for doing this!
I will be thoroughly happy whichever fandom you choose to write. As for content, I'm fairly easy. Gen is fine, shipping is fine, any rating is fine. Heartache is fine, but in this particular context I'd probably like a happy(ish) ending. Plot is fine, sheer character stuff is also fine. I'm not ( Read more... )

 So now I've seen the second ep of Outlander, and I'm sticking with it for the time being. It's still so faithful to the book that it's almost superfluous, but at least they've cut down the narration with about 90%, and it's strangely fascinating to see characters come right off the page like that. I was really dubious of Sam whatshisname when I ( Read more... )

(Seems I'm finding my way back to this place... weird...)

I saw the pilot to Outlander, and I got to say, way too much voiceover. I'm dubious of "show, don't tell" when it comes to books, but it's definitely true in movies, and this was just tell, tell, tell, with the visuals being more pretty pictures to illustrate the words than anything else.

Anyway. For those of you who want to know what Diana Gabaldon was on about without reading her books, or those of you who have read her books and just want the condensed crack version, here's my condensed Outlander ( Read more... )

Beta request 1: I finished my "Outlander in 15 minutes" and sent it over to Rhi, who replied to say that it had been ten years since she read the book, and did all of that stuff really happen? (To which I say HELL YEAH. *G*) So, is there anyone else who has read it who'd care to beta read for me? Or for that matter, someone who hasn't read it who's ( Read more... )

My apartment is unusually full of new books read and unread, both bought ones and library ones. This is fun. Latest one I finished was Lord John and the Brotherhood and the Blade. Fun story, John lovely as always, the plot better and plottier than the Outlander series (yay!) though the characters somewhat flatter (nay!) - with exception for our ( Read more... )

I was going to write about the latest eps of Lost, since I've seen all of them except this very latest one by now. But I'm going to stick to some general gripes instead.

First: Anyone who says that ( cut for spoilers and threats of physical violence )
