The legs of spring scissored open
If you write (have written) in one (or more!) of these fandoms*, Remix needs you!

New SPN tonight! I didn't get nearly as much writing done during the hiatus as I'd have liked, but since that seems to be the case for me all the time with writing now, I guess I'm just going to have to deal with it. I need to carve out more time for that, but it's hard when there's so much other stuff that needs doing. I just have so many wsip and ideas I want to write! Wah! My life, so hard!
***
So last night in my BSG rewatch, I made it through the Pegasus arc, and that's where things start to go really wrong with season 2. Lee's metaphorical lake of manpain will never stop being hilarious and annoying.**
Also, the first indications of Lee/Dee show up, and ugh, I like Dee and well, up until then, I'd liked Lee, but talk about poor writing choices. Ugh. The whole quadrangle thing of s3 was just gross. I also watched Scar, mostly for the awesome Kara/Kat business, and the Kara-Helo BFF scenes (♥), and the ending where Kara recites the names of the dead pilots always makes me tear up, but man, this is also where they start hammering the Kara/Anders, and I like Anders (way more than I like Lee, to be honest), but that was also not handled very well. (Otoh, I have to give Lee props for being dead on balls accurate about Kara - it's not the dead guys she can't handle; also, for all that I don't actually ship them, that scene is hot.) (I think part of the issue with Lee/Dee isn't just Kara and later, the icky adultery; it's because I really loved Billy and felt like he totally got shafted for no discernible reason except that the actor was leaving the show. Billy! ♥)
I also really like the Kara/Cain interaction, even if the whole evil lesbian thing pisses me off. Michelle Forbes is awesome! And as always, I ♥ Starbuck.
The back half of s2 is really kind of meh, with the exception of Downloaded, which is awesome.

It will be April soon (!!), which means National Poetry month, which means I post a poem every day. To get you used to that, have a poem:
VI (Something Long Forgotten)
Something long forgotten comes into her.
Some days she thinks the afterbirth still drags
behind her, her breasts hard with milk. She clears
a place, setting stones for a garden. Now
all that was buried comes back. Earth bursting
with memory. And each flower drawing her face
inside its face. The legs of spring scissored
open. And the heaving. When it gets so bad
she wants to die, she tries to remember.
To get past the nostalgia for submission,
past surrender, law, altar, the rape
of the divine. Spring scissors inside her.
The marching, the soldiers, children with guns,
something long forgotten comes into her.

** Dear Lee,
When the world has ended in a nuclear holocaust and you are on the run from a genocidal enemy who would like to wipe the remnants of your species off the face of the universe, your moral crises are of no more consequence or weight than anyone else's, just because you are the admiral's son. I understand your life sucks hard, but so does everyone else's in the fleet. IJS.
yours, with a stiff upper lip,
me
