I just beta read my son's first fan fiction. He wants me to teach him about online fandom. It's so weird to see my worlds cross! He is 13 and is writing in pokemon. I know next to nothing about it, but just seeing how excited he is- wow! My first fic was around that age and was Egon/Janine from Ghostbusters. A few years later, I wrote my first Kirk ( Read more... )

I hate that awkward phase where you start checking out a new fandom and you don't know the lingo, shorthand, and tropes for it yet. It makes it weird to search for things ( Read more... )

Okay, now my facebook page is getting annoying. All my family and friends that give two poops about hockey are not suddenly The. Greatest. Hockey. Fans. Ever.    Please. I'm sure that happens to everyone ( Read more... )

Onto the Kings. Though I have to say that series against the Wings was rough.  Second only to watching the game, I love how all the food places around here have 'Blackhawk' deals for pizza and wings and other stuff ( Read more... )

This is nuts. Heat on. Air on. Heat on again today. My sinuses hate me right now.

And thus ends this completely pointless post.

is there such thing as an online-fandom-midlife-crisis? I am missing the heydays of my favorite fandoms and when it was easy to find my fandoms. Now everything is all over the place and there's less meta in favor of quick posts. I guess I will go shake my cane in a corner somewhere!

This weather is weirding me out.  It should not be nearly 90 here during March.  I have spent the last few days doing everything I can outside though because I am stir crazy. I still want my normal spring back!

Holy crap!  I just signed up with Netflix again and saw that both SG1 and Star Trek TOS are streaming.   I made this joking new year's resolution that I would rewatch both this year since it's been a while (much longer for that particular Trek).  Now I have no excuse ( Read more... )

This one is draggingly slow. I guess I was spoiled. It takes ages to load a page and forget about images. ARGH. Now I'm getting, "Some gmail features failed to load due to an internet connectivity problem." I need to see my email, please. It's been 4 days ( Read more... )

I have had no internet at home for a few days thanks to completely forgetting to pay my cable/phone/internet bill (talk about realizing how addicted you can get to something you couldn't even afford a few years prior!). It did give me a chance to go back over though my word files on my computer and put all the random fanfic I have saved into one ( Read more... )
