Meme stolen from bookelfe, because I think it's hilarious!

Give me a character's name and I will tell you three reasons why it would be terrible to try to date them, have sex with them, or be in a long-term relationship with them.

For an extra challenge, pick characters you know I'm really fond of. Anyone can tell you reasons not to date Cthulhu, after all ( Read more... )

A while ago I said that if anyone wrote a fic where Yōko Nakajima, Queen of Kei, goes to visit her dearest friend Rakushun in En (forgetting to arrange for proper accommodation, leading to her having to stay with him, and subsequently talking about life and politics while cuddling), I would love them forever. It looks like bookelfe  is the unfortunate ( Read more... )

Every time I get into something new lately it seems that I find myself in the very sad situation where almost nobody I know likes it and there is no fandom (or it's terrible or too small) and so I think to myself, Izzy, why don't you write a post recommending it to your friends. I rarely do that because I'm really lazy and usually by the time I ( Read more... )

* All the people I ship romantically with this character
* My non-romantic OTP for this character (BFFs, mentors, etc)
* My unpopular opinion about this ( Read more... )

What? Don't look at me like that. I spent a night and a day angsting about proper titles and what if SOMEONE SEES IT and really, it's not that silly a picture, why should have it get a silly name, but alas, it's the only thing I could think of, and being that it was its working title since January, I figure, whatever. Also several people failed to ( Read more... )

Comment and I'll tell you something I like about you :)

The people over at qldfloodauction (and the folks on fandom_flood_ap) have been organising an auction to raise money to help all the people and animals affected by the recent floods in Australia. They are much like help_haiti and help_pakistan, where people offer their fannish goods and services in exchange for money which is donated to a number of charities. A brilliant idea, really. I participated ( Read more... )
