Guys, check out the February Prompt Fest over at ![[community profile]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
camelot_fleet! There are LOADS of prompts to choose from over many pairings, characters, and mediums. There's no pressure, no limits, and you don't have to be a member to nab prompts or fill them. Think of it as massive bunny garden you can pick over.
Speaking of Merls, the S2 vol 2 DVD commentaries are in the hands of a lucky few, and some of them have been very generous, so I have heard them.
Brief thoughts:
BRADLEY: I think there’s a bit of . . . female competition going on in this. [the scene where Morgana meets Morgause -- YEAH I KNOW, wtah]
TONY: Really?
BRADLEY: Yeah.
TONY: In what way?
BRADLEY: I don’t know. In the way that females compete. (pause) In the way that they tell me they do.
TONY: (pause … then, dubious) . . . Wait - what?
COLIN: (laughs)
BRADLEY: (over Colin’s laughter) You know that thing –
TONY: Yeah, what?
BRADLEY: (over both Tony and Colin’s laughter) You know that thing – that thing – when, when guys are oblivious to it, but girls, they’re like, “Oh my god, I can’t believe she’s acting like that.”
TONY: (clearly still dubious) . . . Mmmm . . .?
BRADLEY YOU ARE INSANE. ♥ I look forward to more of Professor James' Thoughts on The Subtleties Of Women (tm). Also, weeeeird take on Vivian's relationship w/her dad, dude.
Angel remains a bit adorably shy and lovely and generally not letting Brads off the hook ever. ♥
Katie has concocted an entire fanfic in her head about Morgana in episode 11 that I wish had actually happened on screen but whatever; also, she is freaking lovely and Colin is the sweetest. The ep 12 commentary was ...interesting.
Alice Troughton is good people. She should come back and do more directing.

Jeez, I get it, SuperBowl Ad Guys: Your girlfriends are overbearing, useless, emasculating bitches and either a) beer or b) your manly car is your only escape.
Somehow I don't think I'm their target audience.
...the VW commercial is adorable though. The ads are much better post-halftime.

It has stopped snowing, yay! I think the total in my town is two feet and some change. Anyway, Bingley and I just got in from some rudimentary shoveling.
Seriously, it wasn't much. It consists of a single tunnel dug from the carport to the sidewalk. Bingley mostly "shoveled" a little bit of the grass and dirt I accidentally uncovered by miscalculating where the driveway stops and my yard starts. WIN.
Tomorrow, the real work begins.
I have pics, because Bingley doesn't play in the snow very much. He wouldn't look at the camera, though. *g* I put his leash on so I wouldn't lose him in a snow drift, although he's decidedly less white and more apricot when juxtaposed against all the snow, so I don't think it would have been a problem.
( he really needs a haircut )

I FORGOT MILK
WHO FORGETS MILK
I mean, well, I have SOME milk, but it's of questionable age. And actually there's a good chance it won't even occur to me to drink milk this weekend, but STILL. MILK.
lalala
Also, also, you lovely people who deal with lake effect snow all the time? Love ya'll, but quit making fun of us in the mid-atlantic for freaking out; you are not edgy. :PPPPPP There's a certain amount of excitement that comes along with impending snow days when they don't happen very often, and that's all right. Also, maybe a foot or two of snow isn't much in the grand scheme of things but until you see people sliding from one side of the road to the other because they think their new 4WD gas-suckers mean they no longer need to employ caution in snow storms, don't tell me what's not treacherous.
AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
....
ALSO HOMG VAMPIRE DIARIES. I need to make an epic TV post soon.
*eyes post*
I'm not even drunk, I swear.
*slinks off to finish ficlets and beta stuff*

Jan. 28th, 2010 01:21 pm+ JD Salingerand Howard Zinn are both dead this week. D: Two great minds.
maehrys has mp3s of two of Zinn's lectures that I would definitely recommend.
+ Switching gears entirely, the lovelymiakun made a Farscape picspam in an attempt to show me how awesome it is. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, I now really want to meet this Aeryn chick. ♥ Anyway, I am linking to said picspam because it is really quite pretty. :D
+ Chromatic casting! There's a good roundup here. It is the best of all the memes. I had fun with Lord of the Rings; now I'm thinking about Anansi Boys forbrightfame. (Which obviously isn't a REcasting, but still.) Might get to that tonight, or probably in a day or so actually because I should try to sleep earlier. Or, you know, at all.
+ Speaking of which, I was up past 4am both last night and the night before. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME YOU GUYS. This is not good; I don't drink enough coffee to support this sort of thing. It's RL stress driving me to distraction, I know. What do you guys do when you can't sleep?
+ S2 volume 2 Merlin DVDs soon! Which means hires screencaps which means: COMPREHENSIVE PICSPAMS. Watch out, tumblr.
+ Kelly, Sirena, robinmarian: Tonight is the night, I promise!

Fuck Apple for making me want one of their dumbass iPad thingums.
First of all, I'm calling it an iTablet. The name? Clearly wasn't a woman's idea. Serious namefail. (LOL that #iTampon is trending on Twitter, btw.)NGL, I'm actually probably going to call it a PADD. Which only makes me want it more, ahaklhfa.
Second of all, Steve Jobs has the nerve to compare it to a Kindle when he's charging $200 more for it to start with.
Third of all, there is no excuse to sell a WiFi-only version separate from a 3G version, and then charge an extra $130 for that 3G version, if the data plan is optional and prepaid.
Fourth of all, how dare they come out with it this year when I was already going to possibly buy a Nook or a Kindle if I could swing it after tax season and now I may switch gears entirely.
Fifth of all, FUCK APPLE.It's totally a PADD though, omg shiny. At least give me the strength to wait until the second generation which might actually have, you know, USB or Flash or a webcam or something. FUUUUU--

Jan. 27th, 2010 04:18 amSo everyone's recasting genre stuff (and some non-genre stuff!) with PoCs, and I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring. Having just marathoned all the extended versions, LotR was fresh in my mind, so. I give you:
CHROMATIC!LORD OF THE RINGS PICSPAM OF EPIC PROPORTIONS
Now with a bonus genderswap! Because there are way too many dudes in that series, for reals.
( this is definitely a fake cut to my LJ )

Fandom is having another one of its messy revolving debates, this time about slash and het (femslash? what femslash?) and misogyny and I guess I have a take, such as it is.
( here, I'll even cut it )

Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one reason why I like you. Then re-post this (if you feel like it!) and spread the love.

Jan. 21st, 2010 06:13 pmBingley got upstairs (again) while I was out and, from the looks of things, invited a bunch of his friends over and had a house party.
But funnily enough they're all gone now, and it's just him. Sitting in the middle of a mess, looking all pitiful.
*eyes him* He's lucky he's cute. And that he doesn't appear to have chewed anything important.
*goes to clean up*
You guys are bringing back memories. Nina freaking Moreno for one thing, srsly.

Apparently help_haiti has raised over $15,000 for this round?
Jeez, fandom. Jeez. ♥♥♥♥♥
blackmamba_esq won my auction fic (Guineverrrre! :D Gen backstory fic comin' up). idea_of_sarcasm won my auction graphics. LADIES, I AM YOURS. ♥ Thanks to them for their donations, and thanks to everyone who bid.
There will be another round for those who didn't get a chance to participate this time. 'Course, you can always donate outside of all that, as I did having been outbid for everything, haha.
Relatedly, a signal boost viakarnythia: something beautiful I read.
Unrelated ETA.halfamoon is back!
Half a Moon is a fourteen day challenge celebrating female characters in fandom. Fanfiction, vids, recs, art, picspam, icons, meta, fanmixes, and outside links to content fitting the theme of this community are all welcome--the only rule is that the primary focus must be on a female character or characters.
Running Feb 1 to Feb 14. Remember last year's? Remember Glorious (which, by virtue of that vid alone, remains the only Muse song I can still stand)? YAY I AM SO PARTICIPATING THIS YEAR. Even if it's just icons.
Taking a page out ofirony_rocks' book, an impromptu meme: Name your top five female characters of all time in the comments. Gogogogo.

In all my linkspamming yesterday I er, kinda forgot to post about it. *g* Reveals went up yesterday.
My fic was fromsuch_heights, and it's OT4, and it's fabulous! It's called In a quiet water'd land. Gwen being awesome and makeouts; I should have known it was Amy. Go read, it rocks hard. ♥♥♥
I wrote Loud As Hope, a bit of messy Arthur/Gwen/Merlin-ness forkathkin. Im'a repost it in a bit, I guess.
Thanks to the mods!
Also, Finishathon over atcamelot_fleet! I'm tickled, my results were these:
True Blood crossover (Merlin + Merlotte's, idk it makes sense in my head)
5 (9.4%)
That One Modern AU Where The OT4 Work At a Pizza Hut
40 (75.5%)
Gwen/Morgana SPN fusion fic
17 (32.1%)
Apparently, waitstaff who smell vaguely like pizza dough all the time >>>>>> Gwen and Morgana as hunters (hunters, you guys, HUNTERS adfjalkfja). OKAY FINE. :D The pizza hut AU is the thingy I started for the Hometown AU challenge and I've been wanting to finish it. *g*

linkspam, signal boost, etc
Jan. 19th, 2010 08:33 pm+ Signal boost! zahrawithaz has a list of 50 books by queer authors of color, in honor of the opening of queerlit50 and the continued radness of 50books_poc. If anyone's attempting either challenge, that list has got it all. Zahra's journal is full of a variety of thought food, btw; you should look her up.
+ Speaking of thought food, something I read today: I actually don't care whether anyone is offended. What I care about his harm.
+ Bidding closes athelp_haiti at noon EST tomorrow. My offer for fic is here; my offer for graphics is here.
+cleolinda has an open letter to celebrities and fandom. Summary: fangirls, you're at a ten; I'm gonna need you to be at a four. (Lurking at their houses, really? Really?)
+obsessive24's new BSG vid, "Wicked Game". A Dee vid! The only full-length Dee vid I've ever seen, anyway. It's fabulous.
+ Ryan Murphy, the creator of Glee? Is a jackass. (Glee spoilers at the link.) First of all, I like Puck/Rachel but just say no to fanservice. Second of all: "I thought people would find her to be far too irritating for him?" WHY IS THAT EXACTLY. Personally, I find being a cheating asshole, however lovable and male, slightly more "irritating" than being a little intense about one's career goals.
+ Massachusetts, what are you doinnnnnngggggggg

Being Human 2x02
Jan. 19th, 2010 10:36 amApparently all I can do is post about TV lately. I do have other things going on! Most of them I don't much feel like getting into, though. :/ I would prefer to make picspams of Gwen and other things that are pretty and post them to my tumblr.
People are going around being wrong on the internet again about a variety of things, but damn if I feel like talking about that either.
Also! Good luck today,inell! ♥ You know why.
Anyway, yes, things are happening, but you get TV. Being Human. Goddamn this show is exhausting.
