#TouchOfCare
Drowning in work and personal stuff as usual. I managed to finish my Summergen and Everywoman fics, and I don't think they're terrible, so there's that ( Read more... ) -
Because one does not simply abandon a book meme
As anticipated, my students arrived for the new semester and promptly ate my brain, leaving me with little to no mindspace for anything else. In addition to my usual duties, I'm now the head of the English Honours BA programme (not at all as good as it sounds) and in charge of not one but five student clubs (theatre, poetry, writing, research, and ( Read more... ) -

I'm going to annoy my colleagues with these during a session I'm doing for them tomorrow. *g* Try them out - it can be intensely frustrating at first if you don't see the 3D image right away, but ( Read more... ) -

Forced to sit through an unbelievably dull faculty development session. Amusing myself by taking pics of my keychain. You may have been paid to sound pretentious and monopolise an hour and a half of my time, Dr Patriarchal, but YOU CAN’T TAKE THE SKY FROM ME.

Into a Bar fic
I posted my fic for intoabar: Dana Scully and James Norrington. It's just a short dystopian ficlet.
Many thanks and much love to marciaelena for the inspiration. ♥ -

Ah, Wayward Sisters didn't get picked up. I'm kind of ambivalent about it. On the one hand, it would have been awesome to have a show with female leads set in the SPN universe. On the other, how much actual 'representation' do we get in a show about women that is conceptualised by white men? (I'm thinking about Rainbow Rowell saying that the female ( Read more... )
