Oh hey, let's see if I can remember how to do this update thing.

- You know you spend too much time on Tumblr when you try to reblog an LJ post. *facepalm* (The post in question was this, the first xkcd comic to make me laugh out loud in ages

I think tumblr's taken over. There's just so much instant gratification!

LORD, GAME OF THRONES. It is completely eating my brain. I adore it, and the books are just as excellent (minus all the pretty, obvs). Like you said, there's a real element of danger and surprise to it that's pretty unique, and all of the characters, both on screen and on paper, are just so vivid and complex and interesting.

Pretty Little Liars! And Glee! YOUR POST HAS ALL OF MY FAVORITE THINGS, BASICALLY. For what it's worth, I'd love to see you post some Glee-fic, because it's super awesome to see some of my favorite Skins authors popping over to Glee (which, for all its faults, has a pretty damn awesome fandom).

Yeah, I now refresh Tumblr as often as I used to refresh LJ. It's sad, because I feel like I never actually talk to anyone any more!

I haven't read the books and can't decide if I want to or not - I probably won't, just because I'm lazy and also I like being surprised as I watch. But yeah, all the characters are amazing, even the ones I hate.

I might try and post some Glee fic, then! Honestly it can't be any worse than some of the truly terrible fic I've seen in this fandom.

Yeah, reading the books does take away from the suspense, though I'm also glad to be able to continue with the story without having to wait for next season! The show follows the books really, really closely, though, so you're not missing much of the action!

Lord, there is some seriously bad fic mixed in with the really good stuff, though I'm sure whatever you've got going is golden.

The Glee Project reality show is just so very very terrible. But I watched anyway, because everything about it is just so familiar. There's a Santana wannabe though that is making me rage hardcore. Girl needs to go, or get put in her place, because she was completely pissing me off the entire episode. They're having cast members sort of 'coach' every week, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Heather gives a dance boot camp or something lol

I haven't watched it yet (too tired last night) but I'm not surprised that it's terrible! I'm hoping at least one person is a halfway decent actor so we don't have to endure someone of Charice calibre stinking up our screens for seven whole episodes.

That glee reality show sounds a combination of all my best dreams and worst nightmares. I hope it is HIDEOUS, and includes lots of cameos from the cast who have to pretend the entire thing isn't hideous, and fail totally, before casting someone decent. The end.

Tumblr has eaten me too, I think. There are just so many sparkly things to look at. I'm gradually being sucked into the black hole that is the glee fandom as well, and am pottering around attempting to write again. I can't really tell if I have a good grip on character voices though, and taking the plunge is hard. YOUR PAIN, I FEEL IT :/

This was mainly a comment to use my new icon. *shrugs* Hope you're good :)

[botherd]

Quinn icon! I approve! I really ought to get more Glee icons but I'm super lazy and not even on LJ that much anyway.

I have the same problem with writing Glee fic - I'm just not sure that I have the characters' voices down. Usually I can hear the actors speaking in my head when I write dialogue but I haven't got that for Glee yet, or at least not for all of them. Santana in particular is difficult for me, which sucks because she's my favourite.
