this is all you ever ask for

So, there is a zombie apocalypse thing, which has produced fic. Some of which is good. (some of the prompts are vaguely interesting, so I have added them to the massive fic prompts file)

This? Is hilarious and amazing. It's the Black Books zombie apocalypse. Wine, Biscuits, and Scrabble.

I made 30 banners for the femslash_today porn battle. idek. I got carried away. (also, I really want to re-watch Night Watch.)

Buffy Fic: I Knew You Were Mine When I Walked in the Room, PG13, Buffy/Faith

Disclaimer: not mine
Fandom: Buffy: the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: Buffy/Faith
Rating: PG13, language, kissing.
Length: 2400
Genre: AU. Specifically, mundane, WWII-era AU. Femslash.
Notes: I made one too many trips to the library that included books about the WASPs during WWII. Then I had a prompt that matched a vague idea. I'm still not sure it works. I'm also not sure I shouldn't have just given in and thrown in some vampires, too. All mistakes in navigation are totally my own. Title from Garbage's Hammering in My Head.

Prompt: btvs - buffy/faith - a blur of dancehall hips, pretentious quips, a boxer's bob & weave. (for Dollsome's Ladyloves! comment ficathon)

ugh.. rl, books update.

1. Sigh. I'm trying to read Blood Law by Jeannie Holmes, and it's hard-going, because the heroine keeps getting injured/knocked out, and dudes stand around measuring their wangs to prove how amazing they are at keeping her alive. I almost dumped it in the first chapter when a scene occurs with two dudes who decide they totally know what's best for the heroine. But I thought "It has to be better, right?" So far? Not. Not at all. Like, ffs, Black Wings had umpteenbillion moments when the heroine was injured/knocked out/down for the count, but the narrative was still hers. In this one, she's basically a secondary character to let the dudes do their thing. Has anyone else read it/know if it gets better? Because I really like the other female character, and the world-building is interesting (if hackneyed and cliched and a total "vampires represent repressed minorities" ripoff a la mutants in Marvel-land).

But. Seriously, I am so annoyed every six or seven pages. FUCK this "dudes know best, little lady" bullshit. (because,srsly, that is the vibe this book gives off, and it's annooooying)

2. I have an interview tomorrow. Fingers crossed. (also, I really hope I manage to fall asleep tonight, I do not need to be awake until four a.m. again, ffs)

3. Pretty much every upcoming SF/F movie event can be titled "Some white dudes do shit" This does not make me interested. Here's hoping the Snow White & TH sequel is getting made. Black Widow would be nice, too, but if it's by Joss Whedon I will cry (because, penis. Also, I honestly can't stand him anymore). Also, I won't hold my breath for the movie to actually happen. (written and directed by Rachel Talalay, otoh? I AM SO THERE WITH BELLS ON IS IT CHRISTMAS AND I DIDN'T KNOW IT?)

4. No Continuum this week. *wails* (I know, it is awful, BUT KIERA SHOOTING THINGS MAKES ME HAPPY, SHUT UP)

5. I want to say Eureka( Read more... )

6. Booklist:
Yankee Doodle Gals: Women Pilots of World War II by Amy Nathan (it's a book for kids, but still interesting enough. Also, anger-causing at all the dudes who whined about women taking their jobs)
Flying Higher - The Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II by Wanda Langley (also a book for the younger set)
Women Heroes of World War II - 26 Stories of Espionage, Sabotage, Resistance, and Rescue by Kathryn J Atwood
