I can tell that time of the month is approaching when I’m siezed with the irrational conviction that everyone on the internet is out to get me, and I find myself forcibly restraining myself from adding snide codas to every post along the lines of “And by the way, I know you hate me, I […]
I got momentarily sucked into one of the “Ew, gross, there’s ship in this gen!” conversations via metafandom the other day, and over the last few weeks I’ve happened across several other disagreements about characterization. There’s an unspoken presumption running through all these arguments that the person who interprets canon or character differently than […]

I can’t get “Sons & Daughters” out of my head. It’s an evil song leech.
On our last trip to Costco we saw a new item in the ice cream section: ice cream bars made of pomegranate ice cream and dipped in dark chocolate. They are to die for. Mmmm. Chocogranate!

MATTRESS! AND IT IS FLUFFY AND NEW AND ALL OURS!
Some time back I wrote the Archetypical B/S/A Story. (It’s not really archetypical any longer, thank Ghod, but Back in The Day…) Then I wrote the Archetypical Post-NFA Story. And now, I present for your delectation the Archetypical Buffy/Faith Story:

In a spirit of public service, I am going to spare you from this fate. Read something good […]
A nice, shiny, complete version of “To Grandmother’s House,” aka the Christmas challenge story, has been posted to my website.
Can’t play, but will pimp! Welcome Back To The Hellmouth Ficathon! Do it because I’m a weeniehead and can’t!

Longtime readers of this journal may recall that upon various occasions I, as a writer of moderately vanilla-flavored het, have bemoaned my lack of Cool Edgy Fic-Writing Street Cred. Not for me the accolades heaped upon those daring souls who venture into darker and more dangerous waters. (Sob!) But in scanning my […]
Hmm. shapinglight posts interesting news about a possible comic version of AtS S6 here:

I’m kind of glad that he’s contracting Brian Lynch to do it, since I think Lynch probably likes the AtS characters a lot more than Joss does.
I’m tempted to sign up for 10yearsofbtvs SOMEONE STOP ME!!!
