Yep, still alive - though not in fandom terms. A month ago I deleted my fannish Twitter and Tumblr accounts, and yeah, I was "done with everything" before and always came back. This time, though, I haven't really regretted pressing the button once. I still have a handful of contacts I treasure, but aside from them I spend my time writing like a ( Read more... )

Hi. I'm Sammy. Some (few) of you may know me from back in the day when I dabbled in male/male fandoms and I was kinda hopelessly crushing on the Sentinel boys and Benton Fraser and RayK.

So if the people who agreed on that particular hashtag to trend tonight actually go through with it, god help me, I will personally send a message to everyone you target with this bullshit, apologize and make it VERY ( Read more... )

I keep forgetting who first uttered that brilliant line about Operation BBC, but as I was looking up just what exactly a marathon means for my weekly pep talk, I stumbled across this site that gave incredible advice on how to train for one. And to my great surprise, not just the individual tips for endurance could almost all directly be translated ( Read more... )

Gentlefolks, we are all upset about Cote leaving, I know that. For some of us, the show is completely sullied now (thankfully, I'm not one of those, at least not when it comes to the old episodes), and some of us feel the need to rant and scream and stomp their feet ( Read more... )

Gentle folks, please, please consider donating a few minutes of your time. And please consider doing so FAST, because the fan greetings I'm asking for are needed by Wednesday at the latest!A very nice French lady named Alissia contacted me via Facebook and asked me for help. She is, in this case, working for M6, the same channel who airs NCIS in ( Read more... )
