Technically I'm still on vacation.  I have internet for the day, though.  Time enough for a brief jolt of fannishness.

1.  I just found "Wolfman" fic which is actually good.  The only other stories I've seen are rubbish on ff.net where Mary Sue Talbot inherits the estate after the events of the 2010 movie.  Comparisons are odorous; this is a fine ( Read more... )

You know the author who did that Yuletide fic for "Arsenic and Old Lace" that I liked so much?  Well, here's another one by the same person.

Indiana Jones and the Chinatown Ghosts.

Indy in New York after WWII.  This was written in 2006, so it's not compliant with the fourth movie, but it does a lot with various characters from the earlier trilogy ( Read more... )

I watched Sweeney Todd again tonight.  I loved it.  This is going to be a fun fandom, for as long as it lasts.  I take pride in saying that I was a ST fan at the age of thirteen.  Yeah, I got old skool credentials.  I can greet the fourteen-year-old first-time fans with a merry and slightly smug smile.  Welcome to the pie shop, girls.

A trifle late here, I know, but I've been away at a re-enactment.  (It was wonderful.  Proper post on that to follow later.)

First off, a PSA: if anybody on my f'list is moving to a different journal service, for fandom, plain blogging, or whatever, please comment here and let me know where you'll be.  I plan to stay right here for the meantime, ( Read more... )

I like that there's a whole genre of fanwriting called hurt/comfort.  (For short, h/c.)  It's fun knowing that there are enough other people who like that sort of story for it to become a summary cliche.  There used to be a Dictionary of Fandom at bagenders.stormpages.com, now alas gone.  This is the D. of F.'s definition of hurt/comfort, as ( Read more... )

Here's one from the vaults... Last year I wrote this for a contest on Savoynet, the mailing list for all things Gilbert and Sullivan.  Seeing as how Christmas is coming, I've just dug it out and dusted it off.
