The idea was housemate, Mr. Daroga's, and he did the artwork. The article is written as if The Wire is a ( Read more... )

alizarin_nyc linked to this article from the Onion on the price of being a fan. The premise for this satire is very simple, and yet hilariously clever. I just loved reading it so much.

faithwood has an excellent post about feedback and comments in fandom. This has been linked around, but it's something I feel like lots of people should think about. It probably can ( Read more... )

So this post isn't from my list. Because my_daroga told me about this, and I had to Google.

Hi from Texas! There are a million things to say, but I have a million things going on, so I say the most important.

-I rec When All The Years Fill In, Harry/Ginny, by seraphcelene. Yes, your resident Harry/Draco shipper is reccing Harry/Ginny. This is a very short piece, about why Harry/Ginny don't work. Even though I don't ship Harry/Ginny, and in fact ( Read more... )

So in the post where I showed scenes from the new love of my life, North and South, I showed Margaret Hale in a cabbage dress and Mr. Thornton's sister in a peacock dress. aoifene remarked as to how it made her imagine Narcissa Malfoy with a peacock dress. And then madness happenedAlso, I don't have anything to do at work ( Read more... )

C. So the comm for learning a word a day is a go! It's called daily_words. It will start either tomorrow or the day after. If someone would like to make an icon with the words, "daily_words" on it, then I'd use that for posting on the comm so when you were scrolling through your flist, you'd always immediately recognize it (*looks innocently at late_heartIf you join ( Read more... )

I still have much to say. My tongue still feels all tied.

If you have not, I highly recommend that you read this letter to LJ. If you are interested in the questions being asked there, I highly recommend that you sign.

I don't really care what their answers are, because I'm leaving regardless (but I did sign out of morbid curiosity).

For info about the latest LJ/6A fuck up, liz_marcs is, as ever, an excellent resource: here.

For guides on saving your journals and other journaling resources, kangeiko has a great list of links: here.

Lastly, I urge you to join fandom_flies. It's about discussing fandom's options for leaving LJ. I was so ready to leave when the first strike out happened. I'm even more ( Read more... )

femmenerd yelled at us. At us, guys.

Anywho, she's talking about smut. Yes, textual porn, ladies, the kind that makes you squirm in your chair. And she wants to know which fics go straight to your libido, or someone's libido, because anonymous commenting is on. Not the thinky fics, folks, unless the thinky does it for you too, or there's thinky and ( Read more... )

A long time ago, I offered to take requests for dvd commentaries. (You can still ask, if you like. I'll do 'em for chapters of WIPs, too.) semby requested I do Down There In The Reeperbahn, a historical Fanged Four (actually Three) fic I did some time ago.

As with the commentary I did for the first part of Bodiless Within The Bodies, this is really ( Read more... )
