I wish I was a mermaid and was friends with all the fish

SO, I HAVEN'T BEEN AROUND A LOT LATELY. I AM SO BEHIND ON EVERYTHING, LET'S TALK ABOUT RANDOM STUFF INSTEAD.

1. Unpopular opinions meme!

Name a fandom I participate in/have participated in and I'll list my three most unpopular opinions about it.


2. I have a bunch of icons to talk about from that meme that was floating around, let me know if you want me to pick some of yours.

( Icons! )


3. mfirefly10 gave me BSG, SGA, Farscape, and Veronica Mars to talk about my ( favourite characters )

I'm hoping I'll be able to do more recs once I've started reading madness fics, but for now, here are some of the fics I read and loved in the main yuletide collection. Fandoms include Frasier, Greek & Roman Mythology, The Guild, Hawaii Five-0, The Middleman, Parks & Recreation, Push, Rome, Sanctuary, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Sports Night, Stephanie Plum, Traveler, and Doctor Who/Merlin RPF.

( 16 recs in 14 fandoms )

SO APPARENTLY I AM ALIVE AFTER ALL, WHAT UP INTERNETS?

Ahem. So. I finished my first semester of grad school! Classes are over, exams are over, placements are over. And now I have a whole month off, which is so ridiculous I can barely even process it right now. In a good way. My time will be my own again! I can barely even remember what that's like.

Anyway, onto Things That Are More Fun (But Are Not News, Some Of Them Happened In April, Whatever, I Have Been Gone For A Really Long Time):

- I finished bsg_remix (which I still haven't reposted here, oops!). And I got two awesome remixes in return: Sharon by frolicndetour, and The Marble And The Sculptor by olaf47.

- I had to drop out of Remix Redux, sadface. But I still received a remix (which I feel guilty about, but it's awesome, so): Fair Play by penknife.

- ... and chaos_thon, too.

- But, my help_haiti fic is actually coming along! It has a plot and an outline and words and everything! And it's only four and a half months late and counting ...

- And I signed up for femslash10, double yay! Because, did I mention I HAVE A WHOLE MONTH OFF? (Although: I did not ask for Tawni/Sonny femslash, even though I really wanted it, because nobody signed up to write Sonny With A Chance. I also did not ask for the WOWP/PPP crossover where Alex has to take care of this princessy chick, ugh! and why is she cute?, even though I really want to read that, too, because half my requests are already about people shaped like Demi and Selena, and I figured that was maybe enough. Probably.)

- I thought I would have more to say here, because of how I've been gone for, like, five months. I actually do have a lot of things I wanted to post, but haven't on account of how they're no longer really relevant. Like, Things That Are Gay: All Disney Shows Ever (aka. WHY TAWNI AND SONNY ARE FOREVER SOUL MATES, IT'S CANON DAMMIT!, AND IF YOU THOUGHT STEVIE WAS REMOTELY STRAIGHT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SHOW YOU WERE WATCHING, SERIOUSLY.) And Legend of the Seeker (spoilers: it's over! I'm sad!), and how I watched (and loved!) this season of Doctor Who, but that's over too, and Things That Are Gay, Part Two: I'm actually watching Pretty Little Liars and I kind of love it, even though it's ridiculous. Okay, that one is more current, but whatever.

such_heights asked for Doctor Who and Torchwood recs. It turns out, I have a lot of these. This is part rec list, part playlist, and part guide to the Doctor Who universe in vid form. Spoilers for all aired episodes (up to Journey's End and Exit Wounds) under the cut.

( Vid recs: Life, the universe, and everything (Doctor Who/Torchwood) )

I wanted to rec my favourite fics from femslash08, but there were a lot of them, and I'm still not done reading, so they should be up sometime later this week. In the meantime, however, I wrote five ficlets for International Day of Femslash, and one fic for femslash08:


Dark Angel

Consolation Prize (Original Cindy/OFC - PG - 230 words) "She is so checking me out."


Doctor Who

Supersonic (Rose/Sarah Jane - PG-13 - 100 words) There are many uses for a sonic screwdriver (or sonic lipstick).


She's The Man

Token (Olivia/Viola - PG - 130 words) She tells herself it's for charity.


Torchwood

Fitter Happier (Gwen/Martha - PG-13 - 2859 words) After Martha joins Torchwood, she and Gwen land themselves in a series of sticky situations. Spoilers up to episode 2:13 - Exit Wounds.


Crossovers

Dead Man's Party (Studio 60/Sports Night - Jeannie/Kim - PG-13 - 297 words) Just another Studio 60 wrap party.

Sunset Boulevard (The West Wing/Studio 60 - Ginger/Jeannie - PG-13 - 300 words) Sam's already complained twice about being offered jobs in development, and Ginger's not even sure what that is.

I have very mixed feelings about the Doctor Who finale, which I think can probably best be worked out with fic (because I've already read a hell of a lot of meta, and I think it's just making me more confused than anything). Anyway, in that vein, I have Journey's End response fic number one:

Genealogy (Eight - G - 100 words) "I'm half-human." Spoilers up to episode 4:13 - Journey's End.

(aka. In which Eight is not a lying liar who lies, but in fact just got his tenses a bit mixed up.)

I'm finally (like, for the first time in ever) caught up on Doctor Who. Yay, me :) Also, clearly Donna is the most awesomest ever, Y/Y?

( A few spoilery reactions and comments )

17 fics written this month: Arrested Development, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Farscape, Firefly, Gilmore Girls, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, She's The Man, Stargate Atlantis, Supernatural, and Veronica Mars, including crossovers.
