So I want to read fic about Brendon watching Storage Wars and realizing that the locker that is being emptied out and judged as worthless is actually Ryan's.

Very interesting research by Sudhir Venkatesh on How Tech Tools Transformed New York's Sex Trade
and useful data on writing hookerfic.

This just means one thing: SPACE AU! (in color)

All bandom.

I mailed off my submission to the bandom_hc challenge and awaiting instructions for posting, I am working on another H/C story which may make the 30 Sept deadline, and I've signed up for harlequin_bands

I am also listening nonstop to FOB because it's the only thing that will stop the narrative in my head right now. Pete Wentz, who knew?

Because I have discovered bandom, I have signed up for the bandom_hc  challenge. But I think I've left off working on my story for too long that my redline edits have grown into their superpower. Must find a way to defeat them before real life catches up with me on Monday.

Meanwhile, I've gotten four drabbles up, two each for War and Peace. (I cheated a little with the second set: the first one, War, had 99 words, so I paid the ( Read more... )

I want Peter to be a magician. And Jason to be his sparkly assistant.

Except that I don't have an act for them yet. It has to be something appropriate to their relationship.

Could anybody please point me to books that detail magic acts please? More of what goes on stage, deconstructing the illusion kind of thing. I would watch Prestige again, but ( Read more... )

I signed up with the smallfandomfest  challenge with a "Matt, my fault" fic. I have until 31 July to write it up.

1. Glee

From cathama:

" I just wanted to note that thanks to FOX releasing this preview months before the show actually debuts, and the massive amounts of glee it has provoked (will that joke get old?), there is a very real possibility that the Glee Pilot may become the first ever episode of a TV show to have every single frame turned into an icon."

I suppose I should be glad for the editwank. It got me looking up William Empson's Seven Types of Ambiguity

1. "A detail is effective in several ways at once;
2. "Two or more alternative meanings are fully resolved into one;
3. "Two apparently unconnected meanings are given simultaneously;
4. "Alternative meanings combine to make clear a complicated state of mind ( Read more... )
