1. I have much, much love for love_jackianto and me_maneuver, who have created a whole host of very beautiful covers for my stories. I'll be posting links soon (damn Netfirms! I curse you and your unreliable upload system!) but for now...yes, lots of love for these very talented ladies.

2. I said yesterday that I was enjoying Gabaldon's Dragonfly In Amber much more than ( Read more... )

I was a bit bored and sleepy last night, and so I actually watched network television for a full hour. I know! Shocking! But man, am I ever glad I did. Otherwise I would have missed the lametastic glory that was New Amsterdam. ( My god. Guys. This show is awesomely bad! )

Well, I just watched a really fucking terrible episode of House. The humour/snark on that show cuts both ways - sometimes what comes out of House's mouth surprises a laugh out of me, and sometimes I like it because it's provocative and funny and makes me reconsider some of my own assumptions/prejudices. But tonight's episode was insulting; it wasn' ( Read more... )

I do count The Sweet Hereafter as one of my very favorite films, if only because it is ( Read more... )

I recently obtained the first five episodes of the very-Canadian tv show Slings and Arrows through various and assorted underhanded means, and I must tell you all right now: go and watch this series. Download it, buy the DVDs, whatever you need to do, because that show? Is quite the shit. It's hilarious and witty and entertaining and it doesn't ( Read more... )

I just read jebbypal's short complaint about the repetative nature of network forensic/procedural dramas and, because I'm trying to update more even if I can't come up with anything insightful or brilliant or, let's face it, interesting, here's my reply to what Jebby said (sorry Jebby!).

I watch procedural crime shows religiously. I'm all about Without a ( Read more... )

brooklinegirl has an interesting post over here about fandom and sexuality. She brings up a lot of points that really struck home with me, and I think it's fascinating how the complex issues of gender and the sexual orientation of fanfic authors get worked out in various fandoms. Judging from both my own experience and having read anecdotes from others, I've ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm new to the "due South" fandom. And so far, it's been great. The fic is mostly top-notch, nearly every pairing (hell, every character) has at least five or six great stories that give them their due, and the fans themselves are terrific. Because I'm all new and dewy-eyed and still caught up in Season 1/Season 2, I went searching for some ( Read more... )
