	2010.07.24  15.50 Fic Master-list Memories section was getting too confusing. Hence, master-list of fic. (The melodramatism of some of my earlier summaries? Oy vey. Also, note to self - work harder at actually *titling* the fic. Ahah! Done! Oops. Spoke too soon. We'll just establish the SPN crack snippets need no titles, yeah?) ( Fic Master List: BtVS/AtS, Harry Potter, Smallville/DCU, Supernatural )

	2009.11.22  19.07 SPN 5x10 ( For today I am Fritz again. )

	2009.11.02  00.46 The floor is now open This looks like a fun meme! I doubt there is anyone left from days of yore (LOL!) to ask me things, but... heck, hope springs eternal and I better make the best of whatever time I have left before I become too busy to sleep, let alone play on the interwebs. Ask me either a broad [writing-related] question (i.e Who is your cruelest character?, What is your most optimistic story?) or a specific question/request (What world does ___ come from?, Tell me about ___) and I will answer you. Or you can ask meta-questions like What was the inspiration for creating ____?) Pretty much ask me anything about my fic and I'll ramble at you a bit. Actually the floor is always open for this. Fanfic writers love to talk about their stories, in my experience, far more than other people are willing to indulge us. Mood: ridiculously good mood

	2009.09.14  01.45 SPN 5x01 ( In which I prove myself to be one of those crazy delusional fans )

	2009.09.11  04.42 SPN 5x01 FUCK ME, THAT WAS *AWESOME*. Yes, I totally stayed up. Shut up. Bed now.

	2009.09.11  01.33 I will be a sheep for my show. OH SHOW! Lucifer will bring the Apocalypse. So... smoke them if you got them.

	2009.09.08  23.29 Centrisms So every once in a while, in the course of interacting in fandom (very, very once in a while then since my interacting is so very sporadic) someone makes a reference to some oeuvre generally of English language that the person I'm interacting with obviously assumes I'm acquainted with. This always makes me flip my shit somewhat annoyed, because I neither studied languages, literature, art or any of that stuff nor am I an English speaking person so why the fuck would I know what you're talking about? Of course, the person most likely doesn't know either of the facts above, and if she does I guess this can be taken as some kind of backhanded compliment (I'm obviously so awesome that I know everything) but somehow I kinda doubt that this is what's actually happening. Mostly people just don't seem to THINK that, by now, fandom is a multinational space and that the person you're talking to might be like Romanian. Or from Bangladesh. Or whatever. HOWEVER! Today, I realized something. The fact is *we*, non-Anglo-Saxon people are sorta responsible for this. We come to fandom to partake of the shiny Hollywood movies and series and BBC's Who's and Tolkien and JKR and Comics and stuff and we don't... how to put it? Provide our own cultural roots. I mean, obviously, our input is culturally flavored but we like, don't talk about the books we grew up with or give that much concrete information about where we live and how we live and what is our History and what kind of music is traditional or anything like that. Which I'm not saying we should because that's not what we're here for. Which brings us to my realization. We sorta... have a richer experience out of the whole thing in a way. We have all this shiny other culture available to us and we get to get immersed in it and experience it and learn about it and it costs us nothing because we don't have to give anything in return, so to speak. So that was my deep thought for the week! Not so much "I are selfish!", but more, "baby, you've got a sweet deal, here". Coupled with a tiny bit of commiseration that the English speaking fans aren't getting as much out of this. Or maybe they are and I just don't know it. And now back to our usual program! SPN IN TWO DAYS! (Because I only get it on Friday!) \o/

	2009.08.17  17.11 Another year of words Look at that, yesterday was my 6th LJ anniversary. That means about 7 and a half years of fandom. And I'M BORED. Freaking hiatus. I watched "Ten Inch Hero" and "Stargate: Continuum" this weekend. SG:C was very old school Stargate, thoroughly enjoyable. TIH was... sweet. ( I could have done without... ) Dude, if I asked for a topic to ramble on about, would anyone give me one? It feels like I should mark my one day late anniversary by espousing some kind of fannish opinion.

	2009.08.14  17.25 Potentially awesome OMG YAY?

	2009.08.13  00.43 "The Unexpected Consequences of Pyromania (or why Dean is pro-feminists)" [SPN, Gen, PG] Ah yes, once I was a serious fanfic writer. Then SPN came along. The Unexpected Consequences of Pyromania (or why Dean is pro-feminists) Dean. Sam. Gen. PG. Inappropriate crack? ( It's all third wave now. )

	2009.07.26  12.19 In light of recent developments my deal with Sept, in which I would watch Torchwood if she watched SPN, gains hilarious contours. I'm mildly tempted to make good on my part, after having lost interest around 2x06 or 2x07. Since my opinion of this show is that it's just... so bad. SOOOOOOOO BAD! The dialog. The acting (oh god, the acting is cringe worthy). The special effects. The fact they do EVERYTHING for shock value. There is one thing I like though: Cardiff feels comfortingly familiar, the setting outside the Millennium Centre bearing a striking resemblance to Parque das Nações. Also, all the *water*.

	2009.07.06  20.52 Well, obviously what all those plans of Iberian union over the last 800 years had been lacking was a football mega star.

	2009.06.24  23.38 Momma said there'd be days like this It feels like I've been busy... forever. I keep meaning to start mucking around with Dreamwidth and write *something* about how SPN ended but I just can't seem to manage the energy. I've had an insane week. I'm gonna have another insane week. When I have time the only thing I want to do is shut my brain down. But tonight I did a presentation which I think went well, and I have a moment's respite and I promised myself that I would write an LJ entry and this is *it*. To show I'm still alive despite the fact that I seem to have death flu. (The fact that I am being a drama queen about it means it's not death flu. If it were, I would suffer through it stoically and would probably end up dead, or something close, like the time I had a kidney stone and an infection and by the time I went to the doctor he looked at me like I was insane and said, "You could have lost your kidney." The "YOU MORON!" was implied.) Anyway. I'm - surprisingly - going by the same name at Dreamwidth. Once I actually start doing something there, I'll say something. Anyone who wants to stop granting access to the LJ account I have set up there and change to my name, go ahead. I apologize for the inconvenience of not having said something earlier. But once I start posting there, I'll swing by your places. House call. I'll bring offers. If you want to talk to me in the meanwhile, I'm up for that unpopular fannish opinions meme. Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom. Come talk to me, people. I'm trying to be a little more interactive again. I seem to be in a disgustingly positive mood. I wonder if I'm a pod person or if this new attitude thing is really working.

	2009.05.01  01.09 "Set Your Hope on Fire" [BtVS/SPN/HP, PG-13] So I wrote something for writercon100. My excuse is that it was for a good cause. Yeah, I'm sticking to that. Set Your Hope On Fire

	2009.04.05  02.57 Wall? What wall? There is no wall. ( SPN 4x18 )

	2009.03.29  20.20 SPN - God doesn't play dice with the universe I haven’t done this in a while because I feel that everything I said last year in January still applies. But yesterday I wrote a long rambly comment and am not about to let it go to waste when I can take the opportunity to fangirl Show. So I edited it and added some stuff. ( This is not the review you're looking for. )

	2009.03.23  23.49 BSG finale I liked it. I didn't love it, but BSG is not a show I loooove. BSG is a show I watch for the cool ideas. Or something. ( Anyway, my rather cynical and possibly short reading of the events, let me show you it )

	2009.03.05  18.13 Watchmen ( Just general impressions )

	2009.02.28  22.55 BSG 4X17 HELL, YES, BSG!! *THAT'S* WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!

	2009.02.23  03.46 Next year... Wolverine, the MUSICAL!

	2009.02.21  14.18 BSG 4X16 ( OMGWTF??? )

	2009.02.09  00.47 SPN 4x14. Oh no, they didn't. ( Holy fucking crap )

	2009.02.01  23.31 Words that didn't make it onto the page, heh? This is a meme, but *waves hands*, I'm gonna play by myself, seeing that there is surprising little, I think. I'm not a world builder, pretty much everything makes it onto the page (even if it has to be re-written a dozen times). So let's see. I went with the notion that Angelus was Jack, the Ripper, in "A Little Love". That one should be pretty obvious, given the implied gore, but I don't think it is. In "Characters of Chaos", Buffy's memory is messed up because of the mindwipe. "Till the next time the world ends": it's Spike and Buffy who apologize to each other - I thought this one was really straightforward but later on I realized it could apply to most pairings in the fic, so it's up to the reader which is a-okay by me. The priests are Jesuits in "Of Illustrations and Footnotes" - I don't know why, I just decided that they were. That one is my explanation for why Buffy was in Rome: working with the Vatican to rebuild the Watchers' Council. There are several hypothesis for what happened to Lucius in "Know Thine Enemy". I had three worked out (in prison again, dead, with Voldemort) but the idea there was to let the readers come up with their own explanations and figure out how that played into what Draco was doing. There's a lot of that going on in that fic, the letting the readers figure out explanations for themselves, deliberately so. (The idea was to make the reader an active participant of the creation of the fic, but hopefully skillfully enough that the reader himself wouldn't be aware of it. ... huh, yeah, I'm totally straying from the point. Whatever. KTE was a blast to write and I could babble endlessly about it.) "Bona Fide": Dean and guys. It isn't a thing. It's just that Dean takes comfort where he can. Yeah, that's it. I think. O.o I already have weight-loss spam in my spam filter. WTF, it's only February. ETA: And because I totally forgot but this must be made note of: Watchmen - 5 March!! Woot! *Cross-posted*

	2009.01.26  00.49 Just so you know Kerfuffle is a 48 level word at Free Rice dot com.

	2009.01.18  22.24 Real fen stay awake all night long [BSG, season 4] So there was a new SPN episode last week. But what is relevant here today is the fact that yesterday I bought BSG season 4 and then proceeded to marathon all of it NON-STOP. OH BSG, YOU ARE LIKE BRAIN CRACK!! CRACK FOR THE BRAIN!! ( Non-intelligent comments )
