Seriously, I had this phase ages ago. At the end of Season 4 of "NCIS", I believe. When I accepted that sometimes, a slash pairing has become unhealthy enough that one has to stop reading it in order to get off the ship before one's upset stomach becomes the norm instead of the exception ( Read more... )

Where's the line between genuine fusion and outright plagiarism?

Somewhere else than the AO3 Abuse Team estimates it to be, says my gut feeling.

Anyway, judge for yourselves:

The Hobbit/Vorkosigan Saga fusion. The work the fusion is supposedly based on.

No, it's not the same, word for word (although there are identical passages). But it's the ( Read more... )

Good Lord, this whole episode was like one bad acid trip, much along the lines of that horrible episode with aliens in "Miami Vice". I think I lost at least 15 IQ points between the first mention of the "shadow monster" and Hotch's Oh So Horrible Mindrape Experience. Gah. As for his most terrible fear, I'd have expected a flashback to Hotch's time ( Read more... )

I hate bad ref'ing. Plus all the consequences that follow - both on the teams' and on the referees' sides ( Read more... )

So, Sport 1 has bought the rights to transmit the IIHF World Hockey Championship on German TV. Unfortunately, though, they only air 1-2 games a day - mostly featuring German-speaking teams -, and so I'm dependent on watching streams of the games I'm actually interested in. (The less said about the 10:0 loss of Germany to Canada, the better, ouch ( Read more... )

I'm trying to come up with a curse strong enough for this, and I'm coming up empty.

Because when you're trying to hit the puck, you always grab your stick like you're preparing to chop wood with an axe, and you then bring it down two-handed, with all your might, and on a broad angle... on the back of an opposing player's leg, of course. Totally ( Read more... )

... it's the same thing again.

So, now I know what everyone does during the off-season. *eg*

I live on the third floor, and the windows open up onto the roof. Which happens to be not flat, incidentially. Where the heck do three grasshoppers in a week come from? I'd get all kinds of winged insects sneaking into my room, seriously. But grashoppers?! Have they all been, what, hopping through my tilted windows?
