Hi all,

Because my body of work is getting a little, uh, unwieldy, and it's getting more and more difficult to navigate using my website (which doesn't split stories up by pairing, rating or length) I've created fic_by_nos, a fannish journal where I'll be posting and archiving my stories, recs, meta and podfic from now on.

Please feel free to friend fic_by_nos if ( Read more... )

I'll do this review in two parts - a spoiler-free version for people who don't want to know about plot points or specific scenes from the film, and a more in-depth analysis and discussion of specific directorial/screenplay choices. So pick your poison.

( I'm skeered! I don't wanna know any spoilers! )

I've been participating in china_shop's awesome Fandom Appreciation Challenge (you can tap that action over at china_shop's journal, or in some of the recent ds_recsredux posts). Today's task is to send feedback to a reccer or a challenge mod, praise a community organizer, or pimp a newsletter. So here goes!

( China and Sage: where would we be without them? )

arrow00 tagged me in slidellra's C6D tag game, and I wasn't sure what to offer. Fic? Maybe. Recs? Yes! So I decided to do both. I'll start with the recs and post the story separately.

Because I am experiencing a bit of a mini-Wilbyssiance (Duck/Dan! Buddy! Emily! Nova Scotia!) and belmanoir asked for some Wilby recs, I thought I'd oblige.

( Everything will be wonderful )

Uck, I think I caught a bug or something, because I am one sick Nos tonight. I couldn't even drag myself to yoga, which is the stuff of epic tragedy. No extra-bendiness for me! I sat at home and ate a veggie sandwich and watched The West Wing with my cat ("Women of Qumar" = weak, right? It's not just me? Sorkin doesn't do feminism well at all). I' ( Read more... )

Well, meresy caught the 10:30am bus home this morning, bringing our midweek fangirl sojourn to a close. I was really sad to see her go: we had lots of fun and meresy is a lively discussion partner who is kind enough to put up with my lapses into long-winded, pedantic discussions about fandom, Canadian nationalism and the cultural arts. She was a lovely ( Read more... )

I kinda flaked out on china_shop's Above Ground Swimming Pools Wrap Party. I had promised to write RPS and ask tons of questions and I feel terrible (sorry China!), but I forsook the party in order to write some rentboy AU, and folks ( Read more... )
