Signal Boost: why Haiti after the earthquake is totally the appropriate place to set your J2 romance! /sarcasm

People are doing the explaining pretty well why exactly this is offensive, so I don't really have much to say beyond: oh, Author, that was not appropriate. I really don't know how you thought it was. And at this point, I really have to agree with the people who say that the intentions that went into writing this fic don't. mattter. They don't make it less offensive.

OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE, WORLD. give me a break here! Must you give me race-fail AND gender-fail on the same day?

I cannot even begin to describe how really, really unhappy I'll be if they do let AJ and Paget go. Seriously. Oh Criminal Minds! I trusted you! Don't fail me now. D: See icon for further opinions.

Laptop out to the shop for back-up disc-making and defragmentation, I think my mom said? But it'll be back tonight, yay! While waiting for it to return so I can write Stonehenge Apocalypse/Supernatural crossovers in peace. In the meantime, I got distracted from my mission to watch Happytown by the glory that is Methos. Snarky English-accented cynical kind of amoral dorky 5000-year-old guy who claims he sticks his head out for no one and then REPEATEDLY attempts to fight the hero's battles for him? Because he's a loyal devoted LYING LIAR WHO LIES? You know I'm on it.



DON'T WORRY, LASS. I shall return to Happytown once I have finished with Methos. The first watch-through, that is. (GUYS IT'S LIKE DEAN/CASTIEL THE REMAKE (or the original?). They have a dramatic break-up, completely with throwing each other around on cars and sobbing! Only not always as serious, and Methos has a sense of humor.) I'm finding myself quite liking Duncan too - he's so honorable! An honorable guy can sometimes be boring but you can ALWAYS count on him.)

Title: In Some Dreaming State
Vidder:be_themoon
Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia (
Music: "Blinding" by Florence + The Machine
Spoilers: For both movies.
Summary: No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love with the wrong world. Susan, and the wrongs done to her.
Streaming/Download: Streaming at Vimeo and download at FileFront.
Notes: I'm annoyed at some timing issues that won't go right, and definitely annoyed that I wasn't able to get copies of the movies that were both full-screen or wide-screen, rather than one of each. But in the end, this is the Susan vid that I really wanted to make. I wish I could do a full-length version of the song - maybe someday I'll be able to, if I use outside sources as well. In short - oh, Susan. This is my version of meta on the many, many ways she got screwed over by the narrative.

Title: My Imperfect Offering
Vidder: be_themoon
Fandom: Doctor Who (New)
Music: "Aside" by The Weakerthans
Spoilers: Large spoilers through 5x09.
Summary: Rory!
Streaming/Download: Streaming at Vimeo and download at FileFront.
Notes: This isn't meant to be a great vid - I did it solely as therapy for yesterday's episode. I'm kind of like this :( right now, because I'd meant to do a Rory-only vid once the whole season was over and I had more material, and, well.

( Sing my imperfect offering. )

 Remix! Someone turned one of my tiny Firefly drabbles into ABC's (Shadows in the Letters Remix), which is a gorgeous Zoe POV on River/Jayne and the ship and the loss of Wash. Look, goodness knows I'm not fannish about Firefly - the drabbles were fun but not something I had any deep thoughts about, and I pretty much never read fanfic for it. But this was gorgeous, and Zoe & Wash were my favorites so this was a joy to read. Zoe! 

Saving a space here for when I go through and rec others from Remix.

Also, I've got a Doctor Who fanvid over at Dreamwidth.

Wild Child
Doctor Who, Amy Pond. What a day to make you a wild child.  Essentially, Amy Pond is crazy awesome.

GUYS GUYS GUYS kaydeefalls has posted a new Doctor Who fanvid and because she is ABSURDLY GOOD it is WONDERFUL. 

So What Do I Do With This, an Amy-centric fanvid set to "Stray Italian Greyhound" by Vienna Teng. The song choice and lyrics is spot-on, the vidding is beautifully done, it's just perfect, okay? (I am especially amused by the juxtaposition of the Doctor with the lyrics "so what do I do with this / this stray Italian greyhound" because it fits so well.) BUT: those of you on the American schedule, this vid does contain clips and very minor spoilers from 5x07 "Amy's Choice", so you might want to wait a week and watch it then. I don't thinkt it really spoils anything for the episode that can be understood without watching the episoe, but still, be careful.

I've been self-medicating with it and other fannish things all morning. Sam and Katherine were gone this morning when my mom woke up, but so were their bikes and they've headed out on walks without telling anyone, so she wasn't worried at first, just angry that they were still doing this after she'd told them to stop. It eventually turned out that they had gone to some neighbors who have animals and are apparently STILL THERE, without telling any of us, three and a half hours later. So I am pissed at them, and only now starting to un-panic.

 I cannot even begin to say how sick I am of cleaning up everybody else's messes in my house.

In other news, starting the long (and already slightly tedious) search for Colleges. That I am more excited for this than anything that has happened this week (which has included two people coming home from long trips, Esther spending the day home from work, icecream, and park day, among other things) says nothing good for the stress freaking me out here.

... *twitches* Someone remind me that Katherine is 15 and hormonal and it is not her fault she's being horrible. (Except for how it kind of is.) *clings to tiny corner of fandom*

+ omg, Remix done and out to beta turned in! WOO.

+ TeeVee. Criminal Minds - lovely. SPN finale - good and also really mindscrewy. Doctor Who "Amy's Choice" - lovely.

+ Speaking of Doctor Who. This is some lovely meta on the differences in writing style between RTD and Moffat, and pretty much pinpoints why I love Moffat's style so much more. <333 ( Spoilers for Season 5 through 5x07. )

+ Did Pirates of Penzanze today, and it came off okay. I think I even did all right myself! So yay for that. :D

( better now. )

fannish things!

( Why I don't read porn. )

( the Diana Gabaldon fiasco )

And last night's Criminal Minds! OH TEAM. <333333333333333xinfinity

ACK SPN FINALE TONIGHT what am I going to dooooo. Cas must not die!

got home Saturday night - I had a great time, I've really missed hanging out with Leah and Esther. Also we had discussions about sex in the Bible. This included a long argument about whether or not Ruth and Boaz had sex, premarital sex and whether the Bible actually condemns it, and the following conversation:
