insta-rec: yuletide edition

Anyone who has read and loved Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle needs to read The Account Book immediately. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Just read at your first opportunity. It's the most perfect story for this fandom that I could possibly imagine - nice and long and meaty, too, and written like it could be another section of the novel ( Read more... )

lyrics meme!

In case you've missed it over the last five years, I LOVE the lyrics meme, and will use pretty much any excuse to post one. So since I missed the party over at sophia_helix's, here we go:

1. And her last words/were, "I'll see you down in history"

2. Now that I'm older/my heart's colder/and I can see that it's a lie "Wake Up," The Arcade Fire (guessed by sophia_helix ( Read more... )

Friends, I come to you in need of musical expertise. This is a video for Okkervil River's song "Lost Coastlines," from their album The Stand-Ins, which I can only assume is in honor of the second singer who sounds enough like Morrissey that I might have actually bet it was Morrissey, had anyone cared to bet me ( Read more... )

Via cofax7, the anonymous fanfic feedback meme. If you have always wanted to tell me to cut it out with the adverbs already, but have been reluctant to say it to my face, now's your chance!

(I realize I haven't written fanfic in yonks, but whatevs.)

XKCD

Yo, fangirls (and fanboy) - if you don't already read it, XKCD is cracking me up this week. (Make sure you read the alt-texts, especially on Day 2.)

I guess it's universal

Randomly overheard in the lunchroom today: "Why can't Facebook have friends, and then, like, acquaintances?"

Well, it amused me.

Clash of the white dudes

I promise I will post about something serious soon.

In the meantime, Spike is narrowly beating Veronica Mars in winter_baby's 2009 FANDOM STEEL CAGE MATCH. Out of the eight semi-semi-finalists, only one of them is a woman. If Spike wins, the final four will be all white dudes.Does that seem right to you ( Read more... )

So I tend to keep up with entertainment news through the RSS feed for WENN that gets posted to IMDb. (Shut up, it's for work and is not as shallow as it sounds. It's pretty rare that I find out something important that way, but it's entertaining and it doesn't take long and since I'm Info Girl at work, I feel entirely justified ( Read more... )

This was posted a week ago but I just managed to get a chance to read it. finisterre has written The Flexible Concept of Tomorrow, or, Five Times Donna Noble Remembers Meeting That Bloke With The Stupid Name (And One Time She Doesn't). It is, as you might have guessed, a Doctor Who/X-Files crossover. It fixes The Problem of Donna as well as rinses away ( Read more... )
