Don't ask me why, but I have been reading Fifty Shades of Grey, and GOOD GOD IS THIS BOOK TERRIBLE. Seriously, just badly written, awful characters, terrible implications. I'm in the middle of chapter 8, but I had to stop and take a break and read something GOOD again, so I read
honorh's commentary on her excellent fic,
Out of Joint. (Firefly/Doctor Who crossover. Read it if you know both fandoms and haven't yet, for everyone is perfect and it is amazing.)
My favorite line from this book so far: I am in awe and slightly daunted by this underwear.
My new favorite idiom: I very rarely throw my toys out of the pram.
(It's a very realistic one for a 21-year-old American college student, of course.)
Why is my TWS so strong. Why.
Sylvia and I have been playing a really random game, wherein we're trying to determine who can come up with more 'celebrity' (for a pretty generous definition of celebrity, lol) crushes within certain age groups. She's kicking my ass in the under 30 group, unsurprisingly, 17 to 4. We're pretty close in 30 to 40; she's ahead by five, 34 to 29. I am, naturally, considerably ahead in the over 40 category, 10 to 34.
We are so very strange sometimes.
In other news, have a meme:
Pick a character that I have written, or that you know I have substantial headcanon about, and ask any five questions about him/her. Be sure to specify whether you would like responses to be OOC (responding as the writer) or IC (responding as the character).
Fandom or original, go wild.
