Yet I'm Still Neither Copperbadge Not Kant

At last, my semester's over!


3 things I am enjoying at the moment:

1. Ladyfest- it is mostly winding down now, but has produced truly marvellous works of fiction. Allow me to link some for posterity:
we laugh indoors (Bible (sort-of), Lilith)
experiment (Scooby-Doo, Velma)
That Cloying, Creeper Feeling (XKCD, Megan)
poppies stretch for days (The Wizard of Oz + zombies, Dorothy)
Idle Playthings: From the Devil's Mind (Simpsons, Maggie and Ling)
as the multitudes exalt (Road to El Dorado, Chel)
There's also myriads of Who-fic, genderbent Romeo and Juliet (including girl!Mercutio, mmm), Faulknerfic, Kleypasfic and two Narnia-Supernatural fusions. Also worth revisiting for the quality of prompts alone (mostly lyrics, wonderful wonderful lyrics).

2. Reccing, apparently! Ergo, while the reccin's good:
glitter and broken bones (DC Comics, Jason Todd), written for the Transfic Mini Fest- I am completely unfamiliar with the canon, and yet, holy wow.
 
3. The buzzy afterglow of Doctor Who. I didn't enjoy it as much as I did the previous four seasons (I passionately abhor certain aspects of Moffat's writing), but it contained the probably-best episode ever (Vincent and the Doctor) and a fair bit of goofy dancing and fezes, and somewhat less marriage and pregnancy than I expected, so, overall, I'm fairly happy.


3 things I've learned this year:
  1. The Importance of Being Earnest IS as good as people said. (Cecily/Gwendolen fic, please and thank you. And OT4, please, and also I sort of really loved Aunt Augusta.)
  2. I am still not equipped to post Serious Opinions on the internet, but I'm slowly, sort of, getting there.
  3. Matt Smith does bitchin' interrogation scenes. (But other than that, worst two-parter ever.)


3 things I am looking forward to:

1. [community profile] kink_bingo - I've my card, and I've half-written three stories, and they're actually collinear, although I've this hazy plan to do a blackout. I confess myself skeptical though.
2. Sunbathing and staying well out of prison.
3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: clearly I must watch, if only for the glorious peroxide love-bitch.
