So this is actually not inspired by What If Star Wars: Episode 1 Was Actually Good, although that video is awesome and everyone should watch it. Mostly, though, I think it comes from watching TV/movies and reading books from a writer’s perspective, which inevitably leads you to think about the decisions the creators have made, why they might have ( Read more... )

I don't know if this just occurs in the specific tumblrs I lurk on (tumblrs which I lurk? where I lurk? grammar should hurry up and catch up to the internet), or if it's something that I've just started noticing a lot more with tumblr (because it allows for different modes of sharing and visibility than LJ, seriously, I could talk about this stuff ( Read more... )

So basically the latest fics that I've written (and "finished") are a tiny Glee AU where Kurt and Mercedes own a cake decorating store à la Ace Of Cakes, for an RL friend of mine (well, she's in fandom, obviously, but I met her in RL first) who bugs me about actually writing the random snippets I like to text her at random during the day, and then ( Read more... )

Flist, I'm having an ethical dilemma ( Read more... )

Yesterday (Sunday the 25th) was my 7th anniversary of being on LiveJournal. Isn't that crazy? It feels crazy, anyway - crazy enough that I'm actually posting something on my ghost-town journal. I was 13, back then, obsessed with the Ocean's 11 fandom. Now I'm 20 and in college and I just feel so far away from 13-year-old me. (Especially when I look ( Read more... )

So I just saw this Sherlock video (WARNING for spoilers), and now I just really want a Sherlock/Inception crossover ( Read more... )

Ugh. So, okay, people of the internet (or at least my flist). Do you know if Pinboard is the best bookmarking site out there? Google bookmarks is okay, but it's a little clunky, although I suppose I might just need to learn to use it with a little more finesse. I don't need a social bookmarking site, necessarily, I just want to be able to search ( Read more... )

Okay, so is it just me or is Brendon looking really, really good in this video? I mean, Spencer looks pretty great too - although he doesn't really give us the patented Spencer Smith Smile, which is definitely one of his best features - but daaaamn, Brendon is really working the quasi-hipster quasi-50s greaser thing. The hair and the glasses, mmm. ( Read more... )

God, okay, someone seriously has to keep me from writing things at one in the morning. I am about 850 words into the most pretentious Avengers fic ever written, I am so not kidding about this. I showed a snippet to hapakitsune and she admitted it, and she actually likes me, so ( Read more... )

So this is seriously random, I know, considering that I've been pretty much non-existent on this thing for a while now. (I totally understand if anyone wants to defriend me, I know I'm super-boring.) It's been weird; this journal was primarily a writing journal for a while, but after my portion of bandom started growing dormant, I haven't really ( Read more... )
