I'm going to talk about Leverage for a little while, since I can't sleep and people are only upsetting me. It may be obvious that Leverage is currently the show of my heart (if not you may not have been paying attention). I finished watching S2 last week and the end wrecked me. I'm glad I don't have to wait as long as everyone else did for the ( Read more... )

The top part of this post has sort of spiralled into an unpacking your privilege post. The bottom part remains about

This is not necessarily something I'm expecting a lot of take-up for, but if anyone is in the mood to beta some mostly Kirk/Spock (reboot) in the next few days, do let me know.

My English teacher at the time was a fan, and it's still sometimes his voice I hear reading ( Read more... )

Okay, so I hate punctuation right now. Not in an E E Cummings sense, but in a rules-problems sense. I'm editing for AO3 and I'm starting with 'None So Blind' as it's one of the ones that people following old links tended to read from Geocities. It's so far back in my fannish history that it uses single quotation marks for dialogue. I'm fixing that ( Read more... )

Sekrit message for smilebackwards: remember when you came to visit and gave me song suggestions for this fic which will not write itself? If you remember any of them could you leave me some names? Because it is stalled like a stalled thing until I know what the songs are.

If anyone else would like to suggest songs for Ryan to be singing in this AU, that would ( Read more... )

So. Now that I have an AO3 account (thank you
