You guys, I really really really want to write in this universe.  Like, you have no idea.  But I was looking at our last brainstorming post, and you know what I noticed a distinct lack of?

COOL.  SUPERHUMAN.  NAMES.

I know, I know, I suck at naming things too, but this has to be done.  I tried to write a scene, and I didn't get very far at all ( Read more... )

So so! I am pretty sure I have told a few of you crazy kids about the superhero AU, but FOR THE UNINFORMED: the_binksdance and I had a discussion in which somehow we talked about how awesome it would be if she was a superhero and I was a supervillain and we were madly in love despite our drastically different paths in life and we had an epically tragic Romeo-and ( Read more... )

Well, I couldn't fall back asleep, so instead of doing something productive (but really who wants to do P-Sets at 3 in the morning anyway) I got thinking about one of zarla's recent posts. Particularly, the one about pairing characters with Pokemon. Of course, being me, I started wondering what Pokemon Snape might have. What? This shouldn't be suprising ( Read more... )

So! I have a question for you, cats and kittens, and it revolves around this: do you have to be in a specific type of mood to enjoy a specific type of fanfic/music/TV/what-have-you ( Read more... )

THIS ONE. RIGHT HERE. I know, it's about Harry and Draco, but it's gen, so no fears. And it's very intriguing, in my opinion. What do you guys think about this alternate characterization? Does it work? Is it totally implausible? Do you suddenly really, really like non-pigfarts Draco Malfoy? Discuss.

Before I face several hours of what will no doubt be a staggeringly boring Christmas party, here is a discussion post for you all ( Read more... )

I thought perhaps the Shoebox fans over here could help me out. In the first chapter, Moony is in Latvia. That much I know. And one quote from Sirius that kind of explains a tiny bit: "Stupid research, stupid Ministry, stupid everything, COME BACK OUR MOONY WE ARE DEVASTATED WITHOUT YOU but I hope the clinic is good and you are doing well ( Read more... )

I have an interesting question for you, my friends, inspired by somewhat recent events: what does it take to make you cry about a fandom?

I ask because I never used to cry at movies or TV shows or anything of the like, but in the past year or so it seems I've inherited the crying gene from my mom, because I cry at things... kind of a lot. SO NOW I ( Read more... )

Okay, so I've already run this idea by Olivia, when I first came up with it at a ridiculously late hour of the night this weekend.  But it seems to still be a good one now that I'm thinking correctly, so I'm going to propose it to the rest of my awesome NaNo peeps ( Read more... )

MAN GUYS I DON'T KNOW WHY I KEEP BEING REMINDED OF ALL THESE OLD THINGS :B

Anyways, a considerable time ago I had a brief discussion with my mom about Twilight and then, long story short, I ran onto El Jay and typed up a shipping manifesto. BUT A NUMBER OF YOU WEREN'T THERE FOR THAT, so I'd like to ask you: what are your thoughts on shipping? On ( Read more... )
