Hello and thank you, Yuletide writer! You are guaranteed an enthusiastic audience for your story, I can tell you ( Read more... )

I got serious swag this year for Yuletide! If you watch The Americans--my favorite new show in 2013 by far--you'll love this fic. It's long and it's juicy and it's Philip-centric, and Phil's probably my favorite.

I recommend it to everyone highly! And when you're done, check out the other Americans fic because it's an embarassment of riches!

Wow, it's scary how long it's been since I've updated. You get out of the habit and drift away.

I also just got back from Sirens which I urge anybody who's interested in fantasy, and particularly women writing fantasy, should check out. The theme for next year is HAUNTINGS which is going to have been excited until next October ( Read more... )

The concept, I mean. According to Joseph Campbell's The Power of Myth there are these stages the hero passes through as part of that big uber-story where the hero has a thousand faces (and one of them is Luke Skywalker).

I was thinking about this concept this week because I finally saw The Hobbit and really enjoyed it. I've been resenting the fact ( Read more... )

Happy new year! I am even going to make two posts today, which has sadly become really unusual. Yuletide was great fun this year again. I've managed to do a treat as well as a story in the past, but this year I only did my story. It was really fun to write, mostly because the fandom was Quiz Show. That gave me an excuse to rewatch it over and over ( Read more... )

Happy Yuletide!

Hey! So the amazing pts had an idea a while back. The idea was:

It occurred to us one bourbon-seasoned afternoon in March that Kissing and Adventure make really excellent partners-you know, in stories. And we thought to ourselves how grand it would be to assemble an anthology of fiction dedicated to making that case.
And lo, this idea became a reality ( Read more... )

It's been way too long since I updated this lj! I have been reading and commenting. This is my favorite time of year when all the great things happen: Fall, Sirens, Halloween and now Yuletide. This letter is for you, my assigned author. ( Here are my requests! )

So Season 5 of Mad Men is over which means I have a little bit of my life back where I'm not constantly obsessing, but there's still a lot to chew over. Especially with my boy, Campbell. Because I've read so many reviews that either ignored his story as concluded in the finale or dismissed it as confusing and meaningless. Which I do not get. Maybe ( Read more... )

Can't believe how long it's been since I updated. I've been distracted by a lot of non-fandom things still going on, and spending a lot of time babbling about Mad Men on TWOP-no, not bashing Megan or JP’s teeth! There were times I was overdosing on her a bit and I don't think JP is that strong of an actress, especially relative to the rest of the ( Read more... )
