Okay, this has been a really good year for my shipping. I'm still shipping Doctor/Rose and David/Billie really hard, and I've also got other pairings I'm obsessing over, too-- Harry/Hermione, Clint/Natasha. And now I think I might ship Joan/Sherlock. Like, I haven't even seen the show yet, but already I'm seeing gifsets and graphics on Tumblr and ( Read more... )

Basically, I hated it.

For those of you who don't know who I'm talking about, he's a writer. He wrote the book You Deserve Nothing, a story about a charismatic teacher who has an affair with a student. It's told from the POV of three different narrators-- Will, the teacher, Gilad, a student who develops an obsession for him, and Marie, the young woman Will has an affair ( Read more... )

Okay, so yeah, I was gone for a pretty long time, but don't worry, I'm back. I'm not promising that my posts will come at faster, more regular intervals, but I definitely don't plan on leaving lj any time soon.

I've had a really interesting summer. I actually was in and out of the local mental hospital for severe anxiety and depression, but I'm ( Read more... )

Just trust me when you read the story. I was tentative too, the premise being a story about Reinette joining the Doctor, Rose, and Mickey on the TARDIS, but trust me, it is wonderful. For one, it ships Doctor/Rose, without bashing Reinette. She doesn't turn out to be mean or catty. In fact, I actually really like the Reinette in this story. There's ( Read more... )

So, lately I’ve been noticing a trend within Doctor Who fandom. I’m just gonna come out and say right now that I don’t like The Girl in the Fireplace. I don’t. It was classist, sexist, and poorly written. That being said, it’s really getting on my nerves that people are calling Reinette a whore/slut/tramp/etc. because she either fell in love with ( Read more... )

It looks amazing, and I'm saying this as someone who genuinely enjoys (most of the time) BBC's Sherlock. I wouldn't consider myself a part of Sherlock fandom, nor am I really that attached to the characters, but I do enjoy the plots and I enjoy the overall show. That being said, I have been laughing my ass off at all the Moffat fanboys who have ( Read more... )

So apparently they're in talks to make a movie for Black Widow, AKA, Natasha Romanoff. Frankly, I'm both thrilled and apprehensive, kind of like the way I feel about Lucy Liu being cast as Watson in Elementary, but I'm being optimistic about it. If they do end up making it, this is what I want:

• Joss Whedon must write it. Period. Or at least someone ( Read more... )

I love Doctor Who. More specifically, I love the companions. All of them, Rose, Martha Donna, Rory, and Amy. They each have their own individual strengths and purposes and help the Doctor in different ways. Sadly, I've seen a lot of unnecessary hatred for them, and it's just really gotten to a point where I can't stand it anymore.

I'm starting with ( Read more... )

The Girl in the Fireplace. Any Doctor Who fan, even a casual viewer, knows about this episode. It's often considered the best episode of series 2. Written by Steven Moffat, it received critical acclaim, is a favorite of most Doctor Who fans, and even won a Hugo for Best Dramatic Presentation in Short Form. So, what's the problem? Well, a lot, ( Read more... )
