Stranger than Fiction

Okay so this is my last Buffy post for a while. Honestly! I started watching The Sopranos again today (when oh when will S2 get interesting?) Also I do have a life to get back to so...there's that.

Thanks to everyone who has been sharing Buffy discussions with me! Especially because you probably finished watching this show almost 10 years ago. Sorry for being so very late to the party!

Wormword (a co-fic)

I completely forgot to link this before...
During the Great LJ Crash of 2011 me and lenina wrote a co-fic.

Harry Potter Fic: Wormwood (Gen)
Hermione centric with Harry and Ron. Gen fic (movie canon-compliant). She stands stills and watches it all unfold. She would follow him till the end—so long as he didn’t ask her to smile. 2,800 words. PG.
co-written by

falafel_musings and

lenina20. but not really ours.

It's not long. I never thought I'd write Potter verse, but it was so cool writing with Len!

Nathan Young: My New Anti-Superhero

I've been noticing a pattern in my fandoms. I often have a favourite guilty pleasure character. You know, the sort of character that you shouldn't like, but absolutely do. For me it's usually a character who is established as the most annoying, amoral or despicable character on the show, yet I find them irresistable and brilliant. This is the part of me that loves Gaius Baltar (BSG), Pete Campbell (Mad Men) and Sue Sylvester (Glee). Maybe it's because these characters are so self-possessed in their awfulness that they impress me? Maybe it's because you can only enjoy these characters in fiction because they wouldn't be tollerable in real life? As most of you know I've a new pleasure, Nathan Young (Misfits). Since this show & character has eaten my brain, I may as well celebrate it with a big picture & meta Nathan-spam in tribute to his appalling wonderfulness.

For non-Misfits fans on my flist...do you have a favourite guilty pleasure character?

Nathan & Kelly ramblings

I finished my Misfits watch last night. All 13 episodes! I'm now completely up to date. And being that I'm finished watching, I can respond to daybreak777's meme asking new Misfits fans: What is your favorite aspect of the show and why?

Nathan: If men could suck themselves off then the female of the species would be surplus to requirements.
Kelly: This is why people kill you.

Returning from the Dead (is this too scary?)

So it's been...almost a year since my last LJ entry.

I missed you all. Can we catch up?

This post was inspired by

sapphire_child one of my oldest LJ friends. She just asked me if I was planning on reviewing the new Harry Potter film anywhere. I've not actually seen 'Deathly Hallows pt1' yet and I wasn't that excited about seeing it until yesterday when

lenina20 told me a Nick Cave song featured in it and my expectations suddenly rocketed!

Anyway...sapphs question made me wish that I actually did have an online place just to post little random reviews, thoughts and opinions. And wait, wait! I used to have such a place. My dear old LJ. And then I started thinking about the lovely people that I used to chat to here and remembering how much it could cheer me up when I was feeling flat. I've missed you all. *sniff*

Have I left it too long? Do you guys even remember me?!

( Personal updates, current fandoms & reading recs... )

Okay, enough already. Just to say - I'm back, bitches!

Final Entry and Goodbye

The moment has come!! Over the last few days I've been cleaning up my journal entries. You'll find all my posts are now set to either public or private. The entries I've disappeared are all my self-reverential scatterbrained posts that I can't imagine anyone wanting to reread. The ones that I've kept open are my more substantial creative contributions to fandom - my fic, my vids, my reviews, my picspams and yes, even the Xmas stockings. Hopefully you'll find everything more accessible in this archive now that I've cut out the inane babble in between.

Sorry to be leaving. I'll miss posting here, but it's time to move on. I want to say a huge thank you to everyone on my flist for taking an interest in my journal and chatting with me in my comments. I'll still be lurking on LJ so you can expect to see me again replying to your own postings. Hope to see some of you on my new website & blog once I get that started up.

Anyway. I have things to do. I put this off for far too long... *ahem*

"I regret to announce that this is the end. I'm going now.
I wish you all a very fond farewell.
Goodbye..."
