My Joss Whedon experience is spotty at best. I've watched most of Buffy Season 1, about two-thirds of Buffy seasons 2 and 3, Angel 1-3 and then three quarters of 5. The problem being, I now want to write a Buffy crossover that, for plot purposes, has to be set after Angel discovers the Shanshu thing. This puts it between Season 4 and Season 5 of ( Read more... )

The best part of Pride and Prejudice was the giggling around the cinema each time a male did something stupid. A very decent job of an adaptation, with some superior acting, though not exactly Oscar material on Keira's part.

In other news, I would like to take the opportunity to wish a very happy birthday to ithilwen. Have a good one and may Himring's ( Read more... )

Creative-wise, I'm building up momentum to get past another pivotal action scene in Flowers (NaNo), polishing up the Christmas origific, and hopelessly stuck on Ara's Lorenzo thingie. To unblock everything, I'm planning a meta essay tomorrow, but shhh.

In the meantime, not-so-wildlife on the Sopot beach:

I plot longer things, start to write them, but I do not finish them. I need to fix this stutter. I need a ( Read more... )

Dear Luke Skywalker, get out of my brain. I’m trying to write about the torrid affairs of your father, mother, mentor and assorted hangers-on, which will probably result in your not being born at all. Now is not the time to hang around and try to engage me in discussions on philosophy ( Read more... )

I've just gotten my hands on the first season of Clone Wars. Cartoon Network showed it dubbed here, and I just can't watch stuff I know in original dubbed, so I hadn't seen it before. This is less a review than a series of loose remarks and inspirations ( Read more... )

First of all, two points of interest. One: guede_mazaka wrote a bijou Sin City/Constantine crossover. Go and bother her to write some more. Two: temve, quite apart from being a very good writer, makes customized Qui-Gon figures that had me in stitches. Go and marvel.

But it’s not all fun and games in Beth’s head today...

Just a reminder, because some people friended me in recent days: you can still request a drabble. I want to build up a nice sheaf of requests so that I don't get stuck creatively at work :)

And in the same vein, the next round of The Pairing List That Ate Fandom is up; funnily enough, the last one went up a day after I took drabble requests a few ( Read more... )

I had a much better and fun idea for this, but I forgot Buffy was on today. Inca Mummy Girl won over PSP ( Read more... )

I just saw Batman Begins again, in IMAX no less. Mmm, Liam with crystal-clear surround sound <3
