I've been thinking about subtext. I've been thinking about how on Sunday, "Sleeping Warrior," a.k.a. Mulan/Aurora, almost did or almost did not happen on Once Upon a Time and it depends on whom you ask. Was Mulan about to drop a love confession? Was it to Aurora regarding Aurora? Or was it to Aurora regarding Philip? I don't know because I don't ( Read more... )

This fucking brilliant frame narrative: "A Lexicon for the Sunday Morning Sleeper" by Vivian Darkbloom (Xena; Uber; second story in the "Variations on a Theme of Codependency Series"). I don't think you need knowledge of Xena or the other parts to enjoy this story ( Read more... )

First, I want to apologize if I haven't gotten around to responding to any comments left in the past few days.

Comments: Because I wrote it to procrastinate from my gothic paper. The natural connection is ghosts. Post-Friend in Need--SPOILERS for Series Finale. This idea has been really bothering me and I'm not sure it's out of my system with this, so I may end up expanding on the idea if I ever get around to ( Read more... )

It's essay-/midterm-writing time, so naturally I have been procrastinating very badly. Actually, I've been procrastinating the past few weeks by watching Xena: Warrior Princess. XWP's six-year run ended in 2000 and I remembered catching episodes on the WB when I was younger (this is taking me back to memories of PA now, too). I wasn't old enough to ( Read more... )
