*I remembered about the funny lean in that one set of shelves, and didn't put it in my direct line of sight this year -- huzzah!

*I did NOT remember that one side of the small table is all dinged up, and that I should try to put that side facing the wall. It really wouldn't be that hard to turn the table around, but I haven't done it yet. Maybe that side wants to be out this year!

*You know what there really isn't a convenient space for? The giant (and heavy) air conditioner box. You know what I really don't like doing? Carrying the giant (and heavy) air conditioner box to a different floor to store it. (haha and it's not like there's some magical better storage space on a different floor.)

*But also you know what I really appreciate having when it's hot? A giant (and heavy) air conditioner in the window, keeping me from losing my shit every time it gets over 80F degrees. Thanks, air conditioner! I really hope you still work this year!

*Now that the initial rearranging has been done in both rooms, the next stage is 'live with this and see what works.' Inevitably, there's some weird snags that need to be worked out, but the big work is done! NOW it's the warm season!

A lot of us migrated from LJ to Dreamwidth. When this article link popped up on The Rec Center it gave me a piece of history I hadn't known and I wanted to share.

The Linux of social media—How LiveJournal pioneered (then lost) blogging

Like many eventual household names in tech, LiveJournal started as a one-man project on a lark, driven by a techy teenager with too much time on his hands.

Day 23: Favourite cliffhanger

There are three, all at the end of seasons, all good. Maybe Star One, as they make their brave stand against the Andromedans.

All the original questions are on Tumblr.

Comment with the name of a woman character (in any show, movie, book, comic, etc that you think I'm familiar with) and I'll tell you one thing I love about her. In return, you can do the same in your journal (if you like!).

from the middle, this time with a plan, by ShippersList

Wen Xu didn’t feel like throwing a funeral for either his father or his brother but he was aware that at some point, he would have to. In the meantime, he sent out missives to other great sects to inform them about Qishan Wen’s tragic double misfortune and that their new, young sect leader would be busy with his sect for at least a year, maybe two.

That would probably be enough time.

~~Day 22: Favourite audio play~~
Day 22: Best and worst fusion with another genre

The best has to be the western saloon scenes with Travis, Docholli, and Chenie in Gambit even though there's a Mardi Gras going on in the background.

The whole Picture of Dorian Gray thing was too blatant. If they'd named him something else, then it would be a nice horror fusion, but they went the unsubtle route, even the grey clothes he stockpiled for everyone but Avon.

The worst was Paul Darrow hovering a hand over his guns as if he's fanning six-shooters from the old west. Seriously?

All the original questions are on Tumblr.

A setting premise inspired by books and blogs I have recently read:

In this world, people travel without the certainty that they'll arrive in their destination. It's easy to unknowingly go through the rifts between our reality and other worlds. Beware of fog, bridges and doors that appear suspiciously new. Rituals, customs and charms are developed to secure safe travel. People watch the sky to ensure that the sun, the moon and the stars are alight during their travel. Eclipse is a disaster as the supernatural roam freely in the land.

Some people dedicate themselves to navigate the unknown. The risk is great, but the potential reward is huge: magic items, creatures that thought to be mythical, knowledge beyond imagination.. Siilarly minded people group together to develop theory and practicalities to travel. The dreamers project themselves into the dreamland. The gmers play games that pass from the old to go to the the fey realm. The faithful throw themselves to saints and deities for blessings.

The astral sea is the realm of collective unconsciousness. Some powerful psychics's imprints re so strong that they trap unsuspecting travellers. They can only get free if they resolve their unfinished business. Powerful kingdoms compete to build ships to navigate the sea.

The amount of harassment and hatred female indie creators get from their parasocial fanbase is fucking disgusting. Case in point: everything happening to Gooseworx. I sincerely hope the movie/final episode of TADC is as brutal as End of Evangelion is a final send-off/fuck you to those fans. Gooseworx deserves all the rest and love she can get.

Gen Urobuchi never got this much harassment over the outcry of Madoka Rebellion. Nor will the executives and creators of The Boys be chased off the Internet after their disappointing final seasons. It's almost like being a male creative in a mainstream studio gives you all the protection in the world, but god for-fucking-bid you be a woman who makes the slightest bit of success from an indie studio.

Current Mood: pissed off
Current Music: End of Evangelion - Komm Süsser Tod

I'm very glad I flew halfway round the world to the Star One con (report here) and met him, along with lots of B7 fans I'd only talked to online. I had afternoon tea and dinner with him (and others), and he was so friendly; such a genuinely lovely person.

He made Vila into a funny, lovable, relatable character who made me want to write for him when I'd never considered fanfic before. Without him, Blake's 7 would have been just another series I watched once.

Well now, this is interesting.

Word usage by timeline. Very handy for those period pieces.

I think I've finally got a handle on my Unconventional Romance plot. Of course, I still have to actually write it.

I haven't been posting much of late, but I am here. And only a little frazzled.

even though it's cooler today, and also I tweaked something in my neck right before I got up (lol perks of being 40+ is that this is common, and the effects now last anywhere from 1-5 days), so this is what I came up with after ten minutes of scrolling tumblr:

I genuinely ove when I'm looking at a picture but can't figure out the scale. 'ooh, that's so pretty! it could be... a person? or a leaf? maybe a duck?'

Maybe it's all those things! All art is interpretive art, right?
