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.

May. 23rd, 2013 07:30 pmBreakin' The Rules: 20 General Principles Suspended In 'Fast And Furious 6'
I had a little trouble parsing some of these, but still funny! Also reminded me how annoyed I was at the widespread destruction of public and private property in the closing scenes in Fast Five.
( maybe spoilery, if you're super avoidant, I guess? )
But its not like I'm *not* going to see it, so...

May. 21st, 2013 08:03 pmI worked really hard at volleyball last night, okay? There was sweat and everything, so clearly what I need to do today is watch 5 hours of hockey and have corn chips & avocado for dinner.

Tell me a little about a story I haven't written, and I'll give you several sentences from that story.
Fandoms I've actually finished fic in include:
Live Free or Die Hard (actually any Die Hard but 5, which I totally forgot to see), Inception, American Idiot the musical, Stargate Atlantis, Firefly, Valentine's Day, Smokin' Aces, The Unusuals, Justified, Veronica Mars, Sports Night, The Eagle of the Ninth.
Basically anything else I've talked about here is fair game - so, uh, Teen Wolf, Vikings, Hockey RPF, The Losers, The Breakfast Club... or anything you think I might have talked about at some point, if you don't mind that I write you something with the characters heads pasted on based on 5 minutes of wikipedia and youtube.
Of relevance to basically no one on my flist, but probably proof of how little I care about the New York Rangers: until about an hour ago, I really thought Dan Girardi was a forward. Oops.
Slightly more relevant to some of you: in looking at the google a few minutes ago, I happened upon Taylor Pyatt, whose team I could not previously have identified for love or money. The top suggested google image searches are "taylor pyatt eyes" and "taylor pyatt shirtless" and "taylor pyatt hot" with which I concur. Mostly the eyes one. here, have a link to a tumblr image

hey, here's a guy who wrote a thing.
May. 17th, 2013 12:10 pmAs someone who isn't demonstrably "from" anywhere, I'm usually envious of people who grew up firmly rooted in a community, people who are still rabid fans of their university's football team, or grew up going to baseball games.
In that context, I really loved this article. Its still probably pretty good if you're not me ;)
The Nassau Coliseum Was Not A Dump: What the Isles Are Leaving Behind
I really tried to watch some Islanders games this year, and I just couldn't do it. I hate the MSG Network hockey announcers, and most of the games just made me sad, either directly or on behalf of Tavares and Moulson, who never looked anything but exhausted. I am marginally more likely to go to a game at Barclay's than I ever would be to trek out onto Long Island, and that's even more true for the populations of Brooklyn and Manhattan, but I can't imagine they'll ever be "my" team.
I'm vaguely worried that this'll be like the totally failed JC Penney's revamp, and they'll lose their old fans without picking up new ones. That's the part of me that just wants everyone to win, all the time. This, again, is why I'm bad at sports, and being a fan thereof.

I finally watched the rest of Vikings and I am unimpressed. As I said to someone at work this week, I honestly can't tell whether I don't like and am confused by the actual show, or if I'm being frustrated by bad acting (/accents) and sloppy writing.
Like, ( this one time, at Sacrifice camp )
Uh, Teen Wolf comes back in a few weeks? At least I care enough to fix that when it inevitably gets ruined. /grumpy
Fannish dilemmas: Teen Wolf rewatch from OnDemand (HD! Couch! Big Screen!) or Netflix/DVD (Screencaps! Commentaries!).
Summer movie season, hooray? Maybe I can go see a movie or two this weekend in the lulls between hockey playoffs.
OMG, Daniel Alfredsson, what is up with your hair?

Or this might be a more general James Bond question...

I think a bunch of you are newly on the hockey-rpf-as-original-fic bandwagon, or at least newly since part 2 of this series was published. I'm pretty sure I've never been more excited or anxious (because what if , for some bizarre reason, the author ruins everything?!?) to get a fic notification than I was this morning.
It's a glorious, dystopian au where hockey is the central thing but not at all the whole story, framed around the careers-to-date of Carter and Richards. If you're already in the fandom, you know what their story is. If not, but you feel like diving in, I almost don't want to spoil it, but I will if you'd rather have the Cliff notes on their lives. I'm sure I have a link to a primer, somewhere, or its an easy google. This is the final part of three, bringing the events up to "present" for when ionthesparrow started writing, which was sometime after last season's playoffs.

Apr. 30th, 2013 10:27 pmI don't know which game to watch (doo-dah, doo-dah) /camptownraces
My DVR turned into a brick sometime yesterday' taking with it, uh, three episodes of Vikings, half a season of Justified and NCIS' and most of the past season of Suits. It also ate various and sundry hockey things, like the 2012 Penguins/Flyers series, and some episodes of NHL live with players talking about concussion stuff.
Le sigh.
So this is complicating my playoff watching, but by some mystery of Uverse, "multi view" still works. How did I become a sports fan who needs to watch two games simultaneously?

I'm assuming/hoping that by this point anyone who wants a 750Words account has one - But! In case you're out of the loop/haven't heard/missed 750words and written, kitten taking over people's flists last year or whenever: 750 words is going to a purchased (rather than free) account model on May 1 info here. It'll still be donation-supported/free for folks who already have an account, which could be you if you register in the next few days.
I've been ignoring the banner on my LJ friends page encouraging me to switch to whatever the new thing is. I've read about it, and I don't really care. I'm not really wedded to my journal style, so it'd probably be fine, but my phone browser is finicky and I'm worried it won't work.
I just noticed that the banner now says, "You're using the old version of the Friends page — switch to the new one and try to customize it." and I know what they're, uh, trying to say, but that "try" is not inspiring me.
