:: feeling tookish: reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture

Title: Quite a new thing
Fandom: Bridesmaids
Pairing: Becca/Rita
Author: marginalia, skirmishes against the author
Notes: For bonmot507 in femslash11. I own nothing, title from ee cummings.

( 1100 )

apparently i am the only person who saw ( x men & thought this potentially spoilery, definitely ridiculous thing )

in other news, i am 25 movies into the film festival, next year i'm going to work box office as a cunning ploy to score a staff badge (PRESS SCREENINGS, GUYS), & i really do not want to go back to work in a little over a week. DO NOT APPROVE. but that's another entry for another day.

Dear Yuletide writer! I am very sorry that I didn't have anything up before assignments went out! I have a lot of actually decent reasons for that & for this delay, but let's just agree that I suck and move on. I hope that you check back, or if not, that it having a letter didn't matter to you much anyway.

I write the same letter every year, more or less. I love all of these worlds & all of these characters, when I say gen is perfectly okay I mean it. There isn't enough gen fic, particularly about awesome ladies, so if that works for you, go for it.

All of my fandoms this year exist in other versions (film, graphic novels, history obviously), but I haven't read the graphic novels for RED or K-20, and I am under the impression that they are quite different from the films? Dunno. That doesn't mean if you know them you can't use them; it just means that if you rely on alternate canon I might be confused.

I like angst & banter & friendships & duty & loyalty & character studies & hijinks. Sex isn't a requirement, though I am certainly not opposed. I read other people's offer letters and I think... do I really have to specify that I do not want all of those things? I do not want to be this year's bondage Care Bear fic.

Though, I really want you to write something that you will enjoy & that's true to the characters & universes. That's the most important thing.

Title: Two irregular stones
Fandom: Deadwood
Pairing: Jane/Joanie
Rating: PG
Word count: 1075
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my Deadwood box set. It is fuckin' pretty, though.
Warnings: Mmm. Suicidal tendencies & public drunkenness, I suppose, both of which are fuckin' canon.
Notes: Thanks to M&S for the readthrough, as always! Anything remaining issues are all me, baby. Title taken ridiculously out of context from "Stepping Backward", by Adrienne Rich. Like you do. For jae_w in femslash10

( Because we know each other, crack and flaw, / Like two irregular stones that fit together )

i could see three to four open networks during my siffcation, and none of them actually delivered any intarwebs. i think that is just mean. but whatever. i am back now. i saw 38 movies. i am not going to even pretend to catch up here or on lj.

while i was off i finished watching all of "press gang", the steven moffat late 80s/early 90s show about a teen newspaper and ( spoilers for an ancient show i suspect none of you watched or will watch )

my obligatory siff post! the schedule is up here, so people should look and tell me things i cannot miss. i am actually taking two weeks off for the festival this year, though i do plan to spend a chunk of that volunteering (& thus earning film vouchers.)

...is it wrong that the thing i am possibly most excited about is on the town? TWICE AS GAY AS ANCHORS AWEIGH! also the secret festival, sing-along grease, and 30 other films i circled on my first pass through the guide.

actual film reactions will be on twitter & the film blog, as usual.

...wow, i really need to invest in some more icons around here.

okay, to be honest i am a little confused about this whole 3 weeks for dw thing, but it does seem like a better than average opportunity to say HAY DW I AM NOT DEAD.

i know. it's pretty hard to tell. i am slightly alive on twitter & tumblr, but not on anything which requires a great deal of thought. or time, since, you know, i generally only have at-work internet. but if we should be friends in either of those places, plz to be letting me know. i heart attention as much as the rest of the internet.

the issue with me over here is that this is my fannish box, and i haven't been in a fannish mood of late. it rather blows. and so i'm not sure what to put in here. i could talk about what tv i'm watching or what tv i broke up with or how excited i am about the film festival or maybe something about knitting or what movies i hated the most recently or maybe a more strengths-based perspective on movies i have loved or whatever.

but if no one is here, there's not so much of a point.

are you here?

musesfool posted looking for prompts for halfamoon prompts, and i think that is a darned nifty idea. it would be nice to write a little this year ever, writing about the ladies is awesome, i'm off work next week too and should do something other than knit a sock yarn blanket & watch "rome", so... pls to be suggesting female characters and/or prompt-like things and we'll see if anything sticks.

halfamoon guidelines live here

fandoms... everything i've written in before is tagged, but there's tons i've never written in but would like to, so just go for it. film, tv, books, whatever. or just drop general prompts, since i have some ladies in mind already. help?

really, i would be most stoked if i could manage drabbles for half the days, and link archival lady!fic alternating. that would be Success for me.

christmas was very hard, part of which was my fault & most of which wasn't, but i'm online at the library now and finally got the opportunity to read my lovely yuletide story, to put it right, a story in "kingdom".

which, kids, if you haven't seen this show you should seek it out, because it is just fabulous, total comfort television for me, and this story gets all the details of market shipborough lovingly right.

i'm a little intimidated by the rest of the archive, as usual. meep! maybe i need to procure a coffee the size of my head and try again.

eta or... okay. why can't i figure out how to filter the whole collection and not just the first 1000 stories? clearly i am too stupid to live. *kicks things* if i were smart, i would give up on reading anything and work on a NYR fic for that prompt i am obsessed with instead.

eta 2 the DW community had the by-fandom link, which i will share here in case i'm not the only person too inept to find it on their own. and also so i'll be able to find it from work. though if anyone can tell me how to hide fandoms i'm not interested in, that would be awesome.

right now the archive feels like it's gone waaaay down in manageability. between not being able to cull those fandoms plus the fact that the links don't change color post clicking... i kind of just want to run away from the whole thing. help. am running away from the whole thing.

knitting rpf is a fandom this year? and jared flood is *not* one of the characters?

the characters, because most of you who are interested won't want to go look it up, are as follows:

[RPF - Knitting]
Amy Singer
Ann Budd
Deborah Newton
Elizabeth Zimmerman
Jillian Moreno
Meg Swansen
Nicky Epstein
Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (without tina? or denny? or even rachel h of the comments?)
Vickie Howell

amazing.

(i must admit EXTREME RELIEF that moxy fruvous is not a fandom this year. that was just horrifying. not as horrifying as cry cry cry though. and i can kind of see old 97s.)
