I ended up reading another book by Chris Bohjalian: Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands. It's his most recent novel, the one that first piqued my interest when I heard an interview with him talking about it. ( v. mild spoilers, trigger warnings, and my reaction )

sabaceanbabe recently made this post with a list of what she viewed as her best works in fic-writing. It was interesting, the trends I spotted in her favorite stories that match trends in mine as well, such as lots of minor characters getting major roles in fic. That and not usually writing fandom's preferred pairing, whatever pair that may be. I was ( Read more... )

At some point one of you linked to the Lizzie Bennet diaries, and suddenly I've watched thirty-five episodes?! *shakes fist* Okay, granted, one episode is between two to four minutes in length, but still. (Short explanation: modern adaptation of Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice, featuring a video blogger by the name of... well, you can ( Read more... )

Sort of catching up on TV. Ish.

I've pre-ordered the blu-ray discs of Person of Interest. This means I need to buy a blu-ray player now. Heh. The series is available Sept. 4; I didn't pay extra for fast shipping, so it will take a few days for them to arrive.

Someday I'll write up my thoughts on how John Reese is not an alpha male (although he is a creepy stalker), but today isn't that day. Instead, here's a ramble about POV characters while I'm watching TV. ( ramble Doctor Who ramble Person of Interest ramble Battlestar Galactica ramble )

I watched the pilot episode for Missing online. ( not very spoilery, but cutting anyway )

Pulled weeds for a while. Scrubbed wallpaper glue and smoothing plaster from approximately 8 square feet of wall. Decided to work on kiss and not make up fic, which is suddenly evolving into "Let me explore all the motivations and questions and plot-holes that the show never addresses" fic. Why you gotta do this to me, brain?!

Hey look, Leslie ( Read more... )

This is one of those things that's probably way more amusing to write than to read. :) Thanks for the prompt, Liz!
