I know I've made vague references to it on and off, mostly on Twitter, but I feel like I should record here for posterity: drmoonpants got to see O'Death last Thursday night.

They were playing at a little venue called Kung Fu Necktie, which is literally smaller than our apartment, and by the end we were both sweaty and smushed up against the sound booth at ( Read more... )

Last night, after drmoonpants and I sat raininariver down and showed her the first episode of Sherlock (our second, third, and first viewings, respectively), we were talking about fandom and fan responses, and I finally verbalized something I've had rattling around in my brain about how what I love and what I write/read fic for often do not overlap.
