Just a quick note to let everyone know - I love spoilers. Truly, I do. But every single year, I have read the reviews of others, and have wondered what book I'm reading when I finally get my hands on it. When there were spoilers released for Dead in the Family, one of the reviewers said that there was something going on that was out of character ( Read more... )

Before I go any further, you just have to look at this wonderful rage comic made by Finite Anarchy from how to write a Smarter Sookie post. It is the most awesome comic ever. I love it. :D Go and roar at her that you love it too, like I did. :D Then roar FINITE ANARCHY in her face to make her feel like a proper fanfic Sookie, whence Eric just had ( Read more... )

Yes, that's a deliberate pun on Romeo. And no, I don't think he should die. This post is about the sentiment that Bill must die, or must be punished. I've done a post on why I don't think Bill would be happy with Sookie, but none on what I think of Bill from Sookie's viewpoint - why I am not for Bill as HEA, yet not on board with Bill dying.

As always, I've been making pictures. Usually it's because I don't want to rant about something, or because I have something short to say. I got pissed off with being accused of censoring people, so I made this lovely little picture. Of course, I'm thinking I should just agree that anything less than enthusiastic support is censorship - because ( Read more... )

So, back to regular postings. As you can see, I've done the tags down the side of the page. I've tried to keep them relatively uniform and also funny, so they have something a little extra. So for example if you want to look at where I dealt with the short story "Gift Wrap" this is the tag you click: gift wrap or dick ina box If you want to see ( Read more... )

Well, one positive thing I can say about the current rise of rape-as-romances is that while I'm busier in my life, I have more time to write my journal. There's just only so many times I can read about Sookie getting beatings, being degraded, or Eric enjoying having sex with a crying or unwilling Sookie before I start to skim over that shit.  If ( Read more... )

I didn't start this one out of a desperate need to get it out of my head (the usual thing) but rather as answer to a couple of enquiries and to show just how shaky speculation can be. This is why you don't trust speculation - not a hundred percent. But once I got the last piece of speculation out of my head, this alternative popped up. And then I ( Read more... )

Well, I've done a post on Bill-as-Eric, but I haven't done a post on Quinn-as-Eric. He's relatively popular too, so it's only fair, with all the suitor confusion. There's very little Quinn fic in the Fanfic.net fandom - but no one needs it when you can make Quinn into Eric. Mostly Quinn as a character called Quinn is wholly dismissed or used as a ( Read more... )

This week on True Blood - Who the fuck is running Fangtasia? Is Chow sitting in Eric's throne and mixing the drinks? And Arlene's got problems more than Mikey because apparently all her kids are happy to sit outside the house and watch her and Terry burn to death. But it was the idea of the vampires as priests that really got me going. I mean, ( Read more... )

This post is born of a comment by duckbutt60 on another post, all about why it was that Eric didn't just admit his feelings. Why he keeps asking Sookie, and then all of a sudden comes out with it in Dead in the Family. It's one of the things I think that shows how wrong fanfic can get it when they make Eric the talking love interest. Mainly because ( Read more... )
