Okay, so there's something I've been thinking about lately in regards to my fic preferences, particularly the fine line between squicks and kinks. ( metafandom , please don't link to this.)

( TMI nattering and pondering... )

*crazy eyes* I have read...so much Yuletide fic today. So. Much. And I have reviewed all of it! My reviews got progressively more nonsensical, but whatever! I give the gift of feedback! *stumbles away from Yuletide fic*

Anyway, I have spent the past few days cooking, baking, sleeping, and lounging about. It has been glorious. I have roasted ( Read more... )

Things I still have to do before I leave tomorrow:

• ONE MORE FINAL GODDAMMIT
• an annotated bibliography of all of my URAP reading
• vacuum my nasty ass floor
• defrost the fridge
• tidy the room

In the interests of avoiding studying for finals, I have been making use of the wonders of del.icio.us and tag searching. It is a slightly less embarrassing (and more fruitiful) way to search for fic than the random google. Because really, who wants genderfuck to show up in their google search history? Or more accurately, who wants the search ( Read more... )

I don't think I've mentioned it yet, but I am so behind the Writer's Guild Strike, I can't even. Seriously, when I first heard about it, I was all, aw, I hope they work it out because I would like my shows to stay on the air. But then when I found out why they're striking? My immediate reaction was: MAKE THE STUDIOS PAY. SOLIDARITY! WORKERS OF THE ( Read more... )

Found this HP pairing meme while skimming my HP tag, and I can't resist redoing it. Four years on, my ships haven't changed so much as evolved, though my reading habits have changed drastically. As a picture of fandom growth, let's do this again, with the old answers in italics.

One True Pairing Ship
Hmmm...either Ron/Hermione or Harry/Ginny. I ( Read more... )

I have moved on from mainlining television (Dexter) to mainlining books. And recipes, but that was a given, what with my mad culinary experimentation spree. Anyway! Books!

I finished the latest book in Tanya Huff's Smoke and... series, Smoke and Ashes. It was as fun and engaging as the other two books in the series, and full of glorious tension ( Read more... )

Oh the excitement that has been LJ the past few days! Mostly, I just watched this unfold like a particularly fascinating car crash. From rumors to clusterfuck of gigantic proportions back to relative normalcy...good ride, man.

That's not to say I wasn't concerned about the Future of LJ Fandom or anything. I just didn't freak out and or worry too ( Read more... )

Today felt like the first day of spring. In the face of the sweet warm sunshine, I couldn't muster up much annoyance with Daylight Savings Time. As I was walking to work, I saw a lot of people out for strolls through campus or on Telegraph. There was a guy selling daffodils on Sproul, and they were pretty bursts of joy against the gray of the ( Read more... )

So I suppose I should stop denying that I'm a Supernatural fan. I mean it was all well and good when I first started watching the show and it was little more than a distraction television featuring pretty pretty boys. But then Dean started being the Best Big Brother Ever and the characters had surprising depth and the family dynamics rang so true ( Read more... )
