Fandom: Yuletide and Television

More than 1000 words on my assignment. The story is really taking shape, the outline gets more detailed each time I sit down, and I have the opening and closing lines (at least the first draft versions). I'm stressed out over the writing still, but I'm enjoying it too. Oh, Yuletide.

(I've been poking at a couple of treats, too, but so far, they're not going anywhere.)

In television news, I've finished all the available episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. OMG YOU GUYS WHAT WILL I DO?! Now I have to wait for each new episode. Clearly I marathoned that way too fast. Maybe I'll have to watch it all again.

I'm watching on Hulu+, as I do, and this Ford advertisement keeps popping up. It gives a choice between two ads, one of which I have no idea about because I always choose the other, which is about a woman who is a personal trainer who wants to be an MMA fighter and prove there is life in sport after your twenties and I love her already. I always choose that ad. Eventually, Hulu will figure out that I will always choose that ad. I love it so much.

Other than that, life is kind of sucky right now, but I'm trying to focus on getting things done so I don't get lost in the mental mess.

Fandom: Dear Yuletide Author

Dear Yuletide Author,

Thank you so much for writing me a story. I love Yuletide; it is my favorite fannish time of the year and truly one of the best parts of the holiday season. Please don't stress too much about your story, because I know I will love it.

In general, I like girl slash, gen, and het more than boy slash, mostly because I really love stories about women being awesome. I also like werewolves, stories about families being loving and protective and a little snarly with each other because they trust each other to always be there, and smart flirtations. I like stories of all ratings, I'm a fan of consensual kink, and I love stories about oral sex and pegging and women who really love sex. I love poly stories, threesomes and foursomes and moresomes, as long as it is consensual and not cheating. I adore intricate plots and mysteries to solve and friends teaming up to save the world. I like straightforward prose, lyrical pieces, and experimental work. I love adoption stories when adoption is treated as something totally normal and not a BIG DRAMATIC SECRET to up the tension. I love siblings as friends and families who are super tight. I love the ocean, full moons, surfing, autumn, Halloween, horror movies, and long roadtrips.

I dislike embarrassment/humiliation, rape, non-con, misogyny, racism, ableism, fat phobia, character-bashing, and women feeling guilty about enjoying sex. I am particularly frustrated right now by mental illness being used as a pejorative.

For Yuletide, I mostly prefer stories that are more light than dark and stories with happy endings, though that doesn't mean it has to be a traditionally happy ending. As long as the characters are happy, that's the sort of ending I want.

I tag everything, so if you want to know more, take a look at the tags. They're pretty user friendly, I think.

Now for my requests.

( Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose - Meat Loaf (Album) )

Fandom: Commercials Which Deserve Fic

I'm just going to link to this, because I'm too lazy to embed and it's already done over there, but

wizefics and I were discussing commercials which deserve fic and she's posted about them, complete with embedded videos. The Bing one is probably my favorite commercial right now. It airs a lot during The Vampire Diaries, of course, and every time I see it, I'm tempted to write fic.

Some Commercials Should Have Fic.

What are your suggestions?

[fandom] awesome things

So they've started writing the script for The Hobbit. You know how many Tolkien fans feel about LotR? That is how I feel about TH. Growing up, it was the Tolkien story I loved best, even though LotR had my girl in it being awesome. I am a tiny bit nervous about the new movies. Excited, though.

The Mac/Windows commercial where Windows is a king and he tries to banish Mac? Too precious for words. I seriously ship those two anymore.

Vin Diesel to direct and star in a 20 minute prequel to Fast and the Furious 4. Michelle Rodriguez is going to be in it too. I just died a little. Out of happiness.

Vin Diesel beats up everyone in science fiction. "I'm Vin Diesel. Don't fuck with me."

God, I love it when he has a new movie out. The entertainment just keeps coming.
