Fans of Buffy and of Mark Watches/Mark Reads take note! Mark Watches Buffy starts Monday! Woo!If you're not familiar with Mark's work, he is made of pure awesome, rainbows, joy and fandom. He has taken it upon himself to get caught up on, and write detailed, thoughtful, often funny reviews of all the pop culture he missed out on in his youth, one ( Read more... )

OK, so it's come to my attention that there are people in the fandom who have NOT seen this video. This is a tragedy and possibly a crime. So if you have not heard the "Sirius Black" rap (parody of "Baby Got Back") by Tony Goldmark, or seen the video which uses clips from Prisoner of Azkaban to illustrate it in a totally GENIUS manner, you need to ( Read more... )

A Conspiracy of Cartographers, Year One is now edited and available in .pdf format for those of you with e-readers. You can download it (as well as most of my other stories) from the Table of Contents on my web page. I didn't make a lot of changes. I caught a few typos and Americanisms, as well as tightening up some of the sentence structure, and ( Read more... )

Look, I know this fic is really long, but it is SO DAMN GOOD (also hot). Ya'll need to go read it as soon as possible. And it's not even from my team ( Read more... )

So here's the thing. I haven't read canon since the release of Deathly Hallows three years ago. I don't know if it's because of the plot and character elements in that book that bothered me, but somehow, I figured I remembered the details of the books well enough to write fanfic, so there was no need to go back and immerse myself in the series ( Read more... )

Y'all are probably way ahead of me, but if you haven't already, you should check out the wonderful blog Mark Reads Harry Potter over on Buzznet. I started reading Mark back when he was doing chapter-a-day reviews of the Twilight series after someone told him he had no right to ciritcise it without having read it. His reviews were hilarious, and ( Read more... )

I'm currently watching the 1973 version of The Three Musketeers (which is brilliant, by the way), and the Marauders are having an argument in my head about which of the characters from the movie each of them is. Peter is D'Artagnan for sure, and Remus is probably Athos, but James and Sirius can't decide which of them is Porthos and which is Aramis ( Read more... )

Last night I was researching names for a character, and I think I have almost settled on the name "Sebastian" for the saint of the same name, since there's some vaguely appropriate symbolism there. As I was reading through the Wikipedia article on the saint, I came across this note:

In 1976, the British director Derek Jarman made a film, ( Read more... )

There's a movie that I saw when I was a kid that no one else seems to have seen, and I would really love it if someone could tell me the title and prove I'm not insane. I've asked everywhere else over the years, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask here as well, since there's about 200 people reading this who are from all over the world, and many ( Read more... )
