So, hi!

Constructive criticism of either my prose or my ideas, fiction and nonfiction, are always welcome. Anonymous comments are screened, should you desire an option which hides either your identity or your content. Just leave me some way to get back to you if you want a response.

I used to have a fic index, but I seem to have misplaced it in the move, and I haven't had much use for it anyway, recently. My fic can be found under the "my fic" tag. I think you'll find that most of my tags are self-explanatory like that. If you want a handy list with summaries and sorted things, the best I can do right now is to refer you to the Archive of our Own where all the things which are my own are in fact archived.

Other useful things can be found under the "#about me" tag.

If you're just wandering (or googleing) by and want to get on the Dreamwidth train, I almost always have invite codes available, free for the asking.

There is a cuddling meme. http://angelgazing.dreamwidth.org/281441.html

I may never be near my computer again at the rate I am going, bit I made an entire vid in ky head yesterday on the way across Massachusetts and back, so surely I can write some cuddling commentfic in my head, yes? I think everything I am writing is for fandoms that none of you read, so here is your chance to change that. (unless you are SPN/Doctor who/Sherlock/?? So maybe some options, is what I am saying.

I was picking up brochures for our guests, and theres one for the NHL store, and I thought "hey, that's Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby," who I would not have been able to pick out of a lineup last month, unless it was populated with jockeys, so.

It's 8 minutes in, and I suspect I will be back, but good golly do I love how they kicked off the season.

Also, I think I've forgotten 90% of what happened in the first two seasons. Rewatch, woo!

(Do any of you watch Archer? I keep being tempted, but then no.)

If it weren't the most obvious thing in the world, I would do a Kicking and Screaming vid to this. (I'd say it could be the theme song for Will from American Idiot, but only in my slightly AU head canon. I'm sure none of them would be caught dead listening to it.)

$healingmirth: \o/$

The nice thing about being oblivious to so many things is that I quite often get pleasant surprises. White Collar AND Justified both come back this week? omg.

Are any of you watching the Golden Globes tonight? I'm sort of over Ricky Gervais, but I'm not sure I can not not watch, either.

Whoops, I also wrote this last week for NYR 2012.

Summary:

Whatsername grows up, does okay, and keeps running into two guys on the train.

I am now having all the thoughts about how little they did, you guys, even though it's short and jumpy and I didn't intend to ever go back to it.

I started writing that thing where John McClane is a fallen angel, and there's a werewolf fic or two in the depths of my googledocs, but this is the first thing I've tried writing where people had powers that weren't either assigned by canon or all in the same vein.

( this could probably be a DVD commentary if I did DVD commentaries )

In conclusion: hmm.

Relationships: Tunny/Will
Characters: Tunny (American Idiot), Will (American Idiot), Johnny (American Idiot)
Summary: Will would've gotten up to find the remote, but his spot on the couch was empty. It'd been empty a lot lately. Tunny had long since given up saving the spot, in favor of not having to hold his head upright.

The one where they have largely unexplained (and unexamined, for the boys' part) supernatural powers.

So this is what I did with my day yesterday. That and watching the Blackhawks lose to the Red wings in OT, and the Broncos lose to the Patriots in the first quarter.

( how little they did )

I? Have just spent 4 hours in a car with a relative stranger. Fun times.

I haven't checked my friends page or reading in list in two days? Maybe three. Is this what living in the real world is like? It is busy, and I don't get much sleep.

And now I am watching hockey, go figure.

So, I watched all of Off the Map today. Despite the fact that I really enjoyed the 13 episodes, I think am glad that it was canceled, and here's why:

So it's basically Grey's Anatomy in the jungle, right? And I really liked the first season of Grey's Anatomy, when they were establishing the setting and the characters. And then they lost me, because once you have spent all the time you can establishing the characters, either you go illness-of-the-week, or you create conflict. And apparently the way you create conflict on a Shonda Rhimes show is that you have the doctors make UNCONSCIONABLE DECISIONS OH MY GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

On a related note, apparently Grey's Anatomy is still on? Wow.

Anyway, Off the Map is available on Netflix, should you feel inclined to watch. And really, I was right with them until the end of episode 12.

So now that I can admit to having watched Smokin' Aces on December 22nd... Have you seen this movie? It's got Chris Pine in it, so I imagine that *someone* has to have.

To say that it's violent is, like, the bare minimum of compliance with warning for violence, but it's... sort of mad-cap? I don't know, I really like it, and I want people to write fictions for it. Possibly of the fix-it variety. Isn't there a movie (or a TV show... or possibly I'm remembering fanfic, IDK) where someone says that the ending of Thelma and Louise is ambiguous? It's like that.

Anywho, I wrote two things! One of which was tied for the record of least-read thing on the archive for several days:

Summary: Weirdest fuckin' road trip of his life, no lie.

And one which was not, but which probably demonstrates all of my previously-mentioned confusion about Eric Dane and Bradley Cooper in Valentine's Day:

And now that I can admit that I wrote them, they also both have flashfic sequels, courtesy of prompts at

Could you describe the ruckus, sir?

Screws fall out all the time; the world is an imperfect place
