I wasn't sure whether I'd ever give the fourth series of Glee a try. I couldn't muster up any enthusiasm for watching it; I just felt apathetic towards Glee as a whole. All my emotional investment had drained away.

Or so I thought, because today I watched 'The New Rachel' and realised I'd forgotten about the one Glee relationship that I'm still ( Read more... )

I sort of want to write Dangan Ronpa fanfiction, set during chapter two, in which everyone takes [name redacted]'s very sensible suggestion of sharing their biggest secrets right then and there, and they all bond and it's heartwarming and extremely unconducive to murder.

Back in 2010, I attempted a self-imposed challenge: alphabet ficsnippets ( A to M, M to Z). The idea was that the first snippet concerned one character whose name began with A and one whose name began with B, the second a B and a C, the third a C and a D and so on.

Regarding The Mentalist: I had no idea how much I 'shipped Cho/Summer until the end of 'At First Blush'. TURNS OUT I 'SHIP CHO/SUMMER QUITE A LOTI like Summer! I think she could be Santana Lopez's cousin; they have very similar faces, expressions and attitudes. After her first episode, I actually tried to find out whether Summer was played by Naya ( Read more... )

I have a spare ticket for Would I Lie to You? tomorrow (Friday 16th March). Would anyone like it? If you are over sixteen and can make it to Uxbridge tube station by 5.45ish tomorrow afternoon, you are qualified. The recording itself starts at seven o'clock and will probably be finished around ten. Claimed ( Read more... )

'Michael': a Glee tribute episode I actually liked? This is unheard of!

At some point, Santana appears to have become my absolute favourite Glee character. I could never have anticipated this back in the first series! Also, I'm oddly delighted by what a cartoon villain Sebastian is.

BUT THIS ISN'T AN ENTRY ABOUT GLEE; THIS IS AN ENTRY ABOUT THE ( Read more... )

Oh, my goodness, browntroutblues recorded a podfic of Behind the Curtain, my Glee Kurt/Blaine horror fic! And the recording is perfect. I'm absolutely thrilled. If you like the fic, please do listen and then tell her how great she is. (She is really great!)

In other news, I finished Portal 2 today, and I don't think the ending could have been any more ( Read more... )

Anne McCaffrey may have said some weird things in interviews, and her books may have included some weird implications (we have very different ideas about how much sexual assault a hero can commit before he starts to look rather less heroic), but she was the first woman to win a Hugo or a Nebula or to get a science-fiction book onto the New York ( Read more... )

Regarding the most recent Glee episode, 'Pot o' Gold':
