I managed to download all of Misfits, which I've been watching on and off. It's ridiculous and low-budget and over the top and has some seriously dodgy moments, but I'm sort of loving it anyway. Nathan is ridiculously entertaining, and I find Kelly and Alisha kind of unexpectedly winning and adorable. I started watching because I started using ( Read more... )

This morning, I think I said the dumbest thing I've ever said ( Read more... )

STACEY! WHY ARE YOU NOT AWAKE? I REALIZE YOU HAVE A JOB BUT BEING AWAKE FOR ME TO FLAIL AT IS MORE IMPORTANT OKAY?

Geez. True Blood.

I've also watched the Burn Notice finale and other stuff, but I've been forgetting to talk about it.

13 - Do you prefer canon or fanon when you write? Has writing fanfic for a fandom changed the way you see some or even all of the original source material?Canon. While some fanon things DO seep in, I don't usually manage wild AU's very well, and have to sort of work around the canon to make things ( Read more... )

I am like a ball of rage tonight. WTF is WRONG with people? UGH. I hate everyone with a few notable exceptions. (Well, a lot of notable exceptions, since I don't actually hate anyone who would read this. Just OTHERS ( Read more... )

We're continually debating the logistics of the move, how we're doing it, where exactly we want ( Read more... )

It's really strange to have all this hurricane coverage and NOT have it be a threat for us in Florida. It always is! My thoughts with all of you in Irene's path though, I hope it has less of a hit than they're predicting, I know how nerve wracking waiting is. I hope everyone is all right.

I missed a day or two, so doing two questions today.

6 - When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?My slashy tendencies mean that the stories and relationships I'm most drawn to are usually men. But I ENJOY writing both, and in a lot of fandoms, my default character is a female first. (Faith in Buffyverse, River in Firefly, Carolyn in Vampire Diaries.) I've ( Read more... )

5 - If you have ever had a character try to push their way into a story, whether your "muse" or not, what did you do about it?I kind of accidentally combined day three and four. Duh me. So skipping to five ( Read more... )

Ooops, missed a day already.

3 - For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?I go through phases where I like certain characters and everything wants to come from their POV, and then suddenly switch. I also tend to get attached to the POV's of characters I've RPed. But the most enduring are ( Read more... )
