Fannishly and otherwise

fannishly

Perhaps you've seen this around, but I highly recommend this article about tv_elf and the friendships we make in fandom. The shows, the characters, the fannish stuff is all fun and important, but this whole thing is really about the people and the communities. We laugh and cry and squee and love each other, and that's pretty damned great. Some of my favorite fannish moments involve ...

full of thoughts...

... the course is stimulating, my first reaction is that it is fucking exhausting to be of European descent in a Setter Society in a class interrogating Western history-telling. As it should be, but still. Exhausting. Fannishly, I read a post today arguing against Merlin . I have to admit that I pretty much mainlined Merlin in a weekend, and think it is shiny and sparkly and awesome. But I'm still ...

So hey.

... my comment was. That's all I was responsible for. Another advantage I had from basically growing up fannishly as Anonymous #30529390 was that I had room to fail.

I've produced far more fic than ever before (largely thanks to the ...

"Listen to your heart." (spn 4.06 reaction)

... AND ADORKABLE AND MADE OF WIN? I'm having a hard time communicating the sheer magnitude of the LOVE I'm feeling for you this week- at least with any coherence. A lot of flailing may have been involved. Fannishly yours, Rei It wasn't as terrifying as I'd hoped it would be, but at least this week's SPN ep was enjoyable. And I always like it when they venture out of Western cryptids and lore; I'm ...

Whilst waiting for Umbrella Academy -

Apart from feeling stupidly fannishly happy when it rains and I get to actually use an umbrella, these things are sustaining me until the new series arrives: Galaxy Quest: Global Warning! , tatty old secondhand volumes of Elfquest , and the MySpace Dark Horse Presents collection (forget the Prime-8s, Joss Whedon's Sugarshock is my favourite comic-book band ever, and their drummer is made of ...

More SPN humor drabbles (a.k.a., the flist made me do it!)

Politics, hetfic, AI, and recs

... center to the side for the time being. Seriously: in what universe is that a good plan?) Fannishly: I liked the plus size model and the Dolly Parton girl. I particularly liked that the model was... on a note where she's not crazy for thinking that she was good enough, you know? Further fannishly: go to hetfic . Vote for fandoms.
