For your year-end fic writing plans.

Idiot Box: Mr P & I watched more Alphas and so far (only so far mind you) it is the most intelligent take on the superheroes problem I've seen yet. Recommended for people who liked the concept of Heroes and the X-Men but couldn't stop eye-rolling at the stupidity of those specific implementations. (I hear some of the X-Men movies have been good.

I really like the way you organize the drunken!Giles ficathon. Very low-key and low-pressure, and not too much work for you or anybody. If I ever host another ficathon, I want to model it on yours.

I have run a couple exchange/gift ficathons, and I reached a point where I was unwilling to deal with the pain of defaulters & making sure everybody got a fic written for their prompt that had some chance of making them happy. This way people get the fun of participating in a group activity without the misery and disappointment. It *does* lack deadline pressure, which some people find motivational, but I like the upsides. Less work for me, as you note!

*Raises hand* I, too, love the format of the drunken!Giles ficathon. Really looking forward to another much needed burst of sauced-up Giles fabulousness! ^_^

Giles needs two things: 1) to get drunk, and 2) to get laid while drunk. Of this I am certain.

[rebelxxwaltz]

All current fic daydreaming will obviously tend toward this.

I started watching Alphas because of the actor who plays Gary (he was on Bones). It does have a moment or two that fall flat, but over-all I enjoyed it and look forward to the second season.

Yay drunken!Giles. *raises a glass*

Gary is a fabulous character. We're not all that far into the season (4 eps, I think?) but he's already got complex motivations and has grown far more than I expected they'd let him grow.

Gary and Bill together are excellent. :D

We just this minute finished watching "Bill and Gary's Excellent Adventure." That's an awesome awesome pair of characters.

Woohoo! Drunken!Giles! :)

I shall be there. Yuletide or no Yuletide, December requires some Drunken Giles writing too.

Possibly not *quite* as many as last year. But I'm making no promises.
