In the words of autopope:
"Just a quick note that the fastest way you can get me to unfriend you is to cross-post anything in this LJ on Facebook.
"I haven't cross-connected my FB identity to my LJ. There is a reason for this."
Now, being 'unfriended' by me is hardly an epic threat, I'm sure, especially as I seldom update. Being 'unfriended' by autopope, aka ( Read more... ) -
the Yuletide reveal post!
What I wrote this year:
What Happened Next (Atwood - Oryx & Crake), for severuslovesme.
This was my original assignment. I was terrified the author wouldn't like what I came up with, and immensely relieved when she did. I carried around Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood for about a month, and I had a Winamp playlist for the fic as well, which I'll ( Read more... ) -

Recommendations! From Yuletide 2009, Yuletide Madness 2009, and a NYR rec from last year.
Fandoms: Masters of Rome; Valkyrie Profile; Ambergris; Atlas Shrugged; Dark Shadows (1966); Darkangel trilogy; the Oresteia; Palimpsest.
Firstly, the stories that were written for moi. So wonderful! I was thrilled with them both. Yuletide writ dictates ( Read more... ) -

To this I'll add, I think media analysis of this case would be much better if the reporters would look at books like Leora Tanenbaum's Slut! Growing Up Female With a Bad Reputation, rather than their own sensational reports of 'sexting'. -

It has been brought to my attention that I never update anymore.
So, um. Hi, you guys! *waaaaves* Nothing really to report. The bunnies have a big cardboard box to play in, and Sunbear has decided it is his real home forever and ever. Plants are growing in a container-garden on our balcony. Squirrels have been burying pieces of bread in my ( Read more... ) -
curmudgeonly whinge regarding Twitter, but not the usual
I happen to like Twitter. I find the weird anti-Twitter rage cropping up here and there (on LJ, in the media, on YouTube) to be rather odd and to miss the point.
One thing I don't like about Twitter is getting random 'friend' requests from entities I don't know.
I say 'entities' because by and large I'm open to adding people I don't know, or ( Read more... ) -
book meme
Something light and fun I thought would be light and fun, but wound up taking days to complete! -- a book meme I stole from bardsong. (NB: This meme appears to require one to state, at the outset, "Hello, my name is [name] and I am a bookaholic." If there were such a substance as bookahol, I might be more inclined to claim addiction thereto, provided it ( Read more... ) -
