Lots of earnest celebrities want you to vote, please! Harrison Ford and Neil Patrick Harris and Marshall Erickson Jason Segel and Jennifer Aniston and lots of other people, including Orlando Bloom, even though he's British and therefore I have no idea what he's doing here, other than looking all pretty and earnest.

So. It appears that I'm posting fic. Shocking, I know.

About five months ago, I did the fic I'd never write meme, and aiseiri_47 suggested (among other things) Sirius/Lily. And contrary to appearance, I did not forget about the meme - I was just slow. I'm not even sure that it counts as a proper Sirius/Lily fic anymore, though you can read and decide for ( Read more... )

Poll For any of you who have not heard of it, Yuletide is an obscure fandom Christmas fic exchange. These fandoms can be books, comics, tv, movies, mythology, historical, you name it.

I've been (sort of) inadvertently teasing blackclaude for a while now with the promise to post about my new source of fannish squee. And now I am delivering ( Read more... )

This might very well be my favorite meme ever. It took me longer than ( Read more... )

I don't want to continue on in last night's angsty vein, but I have nothing cheerful to say. Therefore, go forth and meme.

But first: there was a metafandom post about titles, and it got me thinking, because I do love good titles. So ( Read more... )

Today was miserable in so many ways that I don't even want to think about it. Then this happened:

Last night I was talking to blackclaude about the title of my story the yellow road lies sleeping. Which is in itself a long story. I wanted to check a line, but being lazy, I didn't feel like hunting down the link, so instead I just googled "yellow road lies ( Read more... )
