How are we all today? I find myself, right now, still in my pyjamas, although I should be at uni working on my thesis. I'm telling myself that I'll go in one day weekend to make up for it, and that I'll let myself stay home today to work on writing.

• Speaking of this weekend though -- there's a rally on Saturday in support of marriage equality ( Read more... )

• OMG! You guys, lionessvalenti wrote me an awesome belated birthday fic! :D We Are More than This Hotel Room -- White Collar, Peter/El/Neal, NC-17, 3,100 words. It's beautifully written and it's romantic and hot -- but it's also realistic and doesn't shy away from dealing with the way that poly relationships are perceived and the ways that Peter, El, and Neal ( Read more... )

Thanks to lionessvalenti for reading this through for me.

Also, many of the thoughts here came out of discussions with everyone who attended the re-watch. I don't usually remember the specific details of who said what, but I wouldn't have been able to write this without those discussions.

I've watched the UK version of Queer as Folk over the last couple of days. Absolutely loved it. There is so much I could say about the way that this show contextualises RTD's work on Doctor Who and Torchwood, but that would take way too long (and probably lots of other people have already said it) so I'll keep my comments... brief-ish ( Read more... )

I am usually the person defending Russell T Davies. I don't let myself get too bothered by his "go watch Supernatural" comments, or his references to fandom as "a few people typing away on the internet". I recognise that, as a writer, he cannot please everybody, and that if he made doing what fans wanted his driving force in his writing, he would ( Read more... )

This post contains spoilers for both Children of Earth and filming reports for the Doctor Who finale. The Doctor Who stuff isn't until near the end, and I'm including a spoiler space in there, so if you just want to read the CoE stuff, then you can (though you might want to be careful if you look at the comments).
