who's gonna find me, just one foot wrong...

1. *is lazy* Foe embedded an amusing vid thing.

2. plane tickets for dc purchased. \o/

3. I made the mistake of mp3ing Children of Earth. While bits are somewhat confusing, as a lot of the visual information adds to the narrative, it's still... very good.

4. ijemanja has Sophie/Nate fic over here (Leverage, spoilers for the First David Job)

5. Also, have some Lizzie and Vala as pseudo-space pirates fic

6. On the other end of the spectrum, miera_c and sheafrotherdon deconstruct the latest fail commentary from Gateworld.

7. I cannot believe I have a month+ of Fandom Secrets to catch up on. Sigh.

Hmm. Yet one more tiny reason to drive down on Saturday night and enjoy Sunday. I'll bet it would be way better than Line-Con was.

10. I love shipping Weird Childhood Characters Together.
11. Fandom saved me from doing something tragic and stupid!
12. Supernatural wankery

Everyone in this fandom 'ships these two characters. I don't know why, the actors have no chemistry and/or no/little common screentime. I 'ship these other two characters. If anyone in my fandom found out I'd be run off.

Why do there have to be 'ship wars? Can't we all just get along?

I started to do this rp/'ship/fandom/fic with you because it was fun then. It's actually crap, but I can't tell you because you'd probably never speak to me again.

I'd hit that [pictured character/actor].

I 'ship it like the burning of a thousand suns [pictured two or three characters/actors, not always from the same work or even medium]. [Optional: specify which character is "on top".]

Castiel the angel on Supernatural gave me back my faith.

I used to think real people fic was creepy. I still think it's creepy, but these two drive me to write it.

I 'ship it even though it's incest.

I 'ship it even though it's pedo.

I 'ship it even though it's incestuous pedo.

I 'ship it because it's incest/pedo/incestuous pedo.

I couldn't keep 'shipping it when it became canon.

I just want to hold him/her [pictured character] and tell him/her everything's going to be all right. Secret because wtf self, psycho serial killer would gut me and rape the wound.

This character/work/fandom gets me through my mental health issues better than therapy or meds ever did.

This character/work/fandom makes my mental health issues worse, and I don't care.

These two cartoon characters were my first slash when I was six.

This fandom treats newbies like lepers and runs them off.

If you [don't treat my character/fandom the way I think it ought to be treated], I judge you.

I dread the influx of fangirls into my fandom when the revival in progress comes out.

I dread the season finale because it'll be crap.

When this character had the moment pictured, I orgasmed.

When I'm having sex with my bf/gf I can't orgasm unless I imagine s/he's Rorschach/Edmund/some anime character/some game character/etc. Secret because s/he'd probably leave me. And the character is the same gender as me, and I'm straight!

I 'ship members of my forum.

Stephen Fry is so cool.

It's so wonderful to get the "You aren't qualified to criticise" argument flung in one's face, isn't it? Golly. What a surprise, coming from a man.

So as a woman and as an abuse survivor, I can't possibly be qualified to criticise depictions of said in anything on TV ever without being forced to watch/read/endure it.

Fuck that.

Yes. Yes, indeed. Their epic fail is epic.
