So, yeah, Avengers Assemble. It blew my mind twice a minute for the duration and then... well. What do fangirls do upon having their minds blown? They start fangirling, that's what. Fanfic. And fanart. And stuff. But just a question for those on my flist who might know more about the whole Marvel universe than I do (I didn't read Marvel comics when ( Read more... )

The nerd fest is still rockin' my socks. I'm having a spiffing good time, even though all I do is really feeding Sheldon (the fish, part of my decorations) and hanging by my computer. Oh, and earlier today I went swimming with the other nerds. Haven't gotten to know anyone new, but do I really care? Not much. This is a lot of fun all by its ( Read more... )

The wonderful soul_bonnie is to thank for this: I started a community for fanfic writers with writer's block. There was already a writer's block comm here, but it was dead serious and very inactive. So here you go:

There had been some fooling around with pictures of red pandas accompanied by a short story text, you know how it is with fanpeople. This red ( Read more... )

My friend is writing her degree in literature about fanfiction! I know a few people have done it before, but not here in Norway, so, yeah. I think it's awesome! Anywho, she needs a few preliminary polls answered, and I hope as many as possible will take the time to help her!

She's made a community (with anonymity guaranteed) here. I'm to give you ( Read more... )

Reader, writer or just plain fangirl: I need your assistance. If you link other fanficers here, or just discuss the matter with them, I'd be extremely grateful. I need as much input as I can get, for purely selfish reasons ( Read more... )

It's snowing. I mean, really snowing. As if we didn't have enough snow; what with about three feet of the stuff lying around on every flat surface and making one's back ache when one has to shovel it off to some other flat surface! Gah. I mean, I like winter as much as the next idiot, but this is insane. It's -20 degrees C here at night; that's -4 ( Read more... )
