Would anyone be interested in doing a light beta on a Heroes story? One is gen, set during Five Years Gone, and about 2100 words. The other is a roughly PG-13 Peter/Adam, set midway through Season Two, and about 4500. Both are in at least their third drafts, and I'm ready to finish them and let them go ( Read more... )

I'm putting this behind a cut for those on my flist who don't live in the United States and are probably deeply sick of our election by now. For those of you who do live in the US and are sick of the election - well, honestly, I hope you read it anyway. If I could stand outside and repeatedly scream this at the top of my lungs without ruining my ( Read more... )

I'm going to try to get back into posting more often than once every two months. I want to get back into recommending vids and music and, you know, actually occasionally letting people know that I'm still alive. To start, Heroes meta. Kind of meta ( Read more... )

A few things:

I enjoy the holidays. I look forward to them. Having spent a few years as a kid not celebrating the winter holidays at all because we were - well, too collectively depressed, dispirited, and broke as a family to bother trying - I don't think I could ever not try to put together something for Christmas. (We're a combined family, ( Read more... )

I've been encouraged to post something occasionally to reassert my existence (still here!), but I'm really - kind of unsure what to say. Most of you know my health is non-ideal, and I've been having a particularly bad time recently. The pain gets bad enough that I have trouble speaking clearly, and between my inability to stand for long periods and ( Read more... )

Generally speaking, a good sign that you haven't been updating enough is when people start asking if you're dead. I'm not dead yet, but alas, also still not king. (It's kind of hard to resist smashing those references together ( Read more... )

I've admitted in the past that I will give almost any genre show a chance, or maybe two, or in the case of Smallville about six years worth. This holds true for vampire shows as well, but I have a much lower tolerance for mediocre vampire shows than mediocre space alien shows. (I even watched Lexx. It's like the surrealistic sister show to Farscape ( Read more... )

At this point when I watch Supernatural episodes, there is a constant background chatter in my head of 'Oh, god, Sam, cut your hair, please cut your hair, I know Jared wants to cut his hair, please let the writers strike somehow allow this man to cut his hair, I actually feel bad for him, also does anyone remember that at some point Sam was psychic ( Read more... )

Woke up this morning to the apartment full of smoke and the alarms going off. (Or, well, I woke up because my mom woke me up - I would have slept through otherwise, I can and have slept through hotel fire drills.) My dad had left the pot on when he went to work and it caught fire ( Read more... )

Quick update, because I haven't been seeing a lot of you around and I know it feels weird when I don't hear from you for a few weeks ( Read more... )
