I've seen the Nation's article of Vietnam POWs linked all over the place today and...I really don't know what to say about it, beyond the fact that for a lot of people's sakes, I hope it's a mistake.

When I get a chance to I'm going to go over all the documents they have linked and play amateur historian, but honestly? At least on one read-through, it looks more credible than I'd like it to be.

:/

The more I learn about Palin, the more I'm convinced she's some kind of hilarious Democratic practical joke. Either that or I've accidentally wandered into an episode of The West Wing.

And yes, I know it's tacky to bring up her family, but the part where she reduced funding for programs that help teenage mothers? You can't make this shit up. Possibly you can make shit like that up.

Dudes, when your political opponent just gave a pretty damn awesome acceptance speech, you should probably find something to complain about besides the set.

I guess I should be fair, though. Maybe it's a legitimate complaint? It's not like the GOP did something similarly podiumesque in '04 or anything.

O WAIT.

Maybe red Rove-approved podiums don't count? :D

So I have a week before my life starts getting epic crazy-busy. I need a TV series to watch in the meantime.

Suggestions are from both fandom and RL friends (and you should be able to tell which is which). Let me know which one I should spend my time on next!

- Atlantis (the one where they're fighting space vampires and the occasional plothole)
- Coffee Prince (the one where there's crossdressing and a sheepdog)
- Full House (the one where it's a Korean drama, not the series I watched when I was ten)
- Gossip Girl (the one where I can't figure out if Blair/Chuck is het or slash)
- Jericho (the one where I'm pretty sure this was canceled)
- One Tree Hill (the one where Chad Michael Murray's in it, I think)
- The Office (the one where I'm pretty sure I worked for the crazy boss)
- Torchwood (the one where everyone makes out with everyone else)

Anyone else want to request a badtastic crossover?

(How much do I not want to pack? THIS MUCH.)

:D

Am in the process of moving. asdjadsasd ARGH.

Um.

D:

Since I don't feel like cleaning my fridge:


Give me two fandoms I'm passingly familiar with and I'll churn out some form of crossover. Or if I can't figure out how to squish them together plausibly, I'll stick them in a blender a la the ninja wizards thing.

ETA: YOU PEOPLE ARE INSANE.

the one where Sasuke meets Toph
the one where they're never letting flying bison on the TARDIS ever again
the one where there's a Rebel frigate called the Hidden Leaf
the one where Katara's stranded on a deserted island with cactus juice
the one where Hiro and the Toclafane don't get along
the one where Tsunade punches the TARDIS
the one where there's no Jedi in the Soul Society
the one where Sokka and Katara live on Hoth
the one where Naruto does the Tenkaichi Budokai
the one where Renesmee cross-dresses
the one where Rose isn't too impressed with the Flying Dutchman
the one where Claire's a temporal anomaly
the one where Sokka borrows the sonic screwdriver
the one where Roy's a veteran of Serenity Valley

Will add links as I finish the rest.

fandom: sparkly vampires uh, Twilight. YEAH I KNOW SHUT UP. D:
rating: Gish?
warnings: Breaking Dawn spoilers. EPIC ones.
disclaimerage: SO NOT MINE OMG. Written for fun/lulz/bitchiness, not profit.
summary: Ten facts about ( one girl. )
longwindedness: Look, this kind of thing would make you write ten-minute metafic too.

( Friday's Child )

fandom: the one where I take Heroes and Terminator and stick them in a blender
rating: PGish?
disclaimerage: So not mine. Written for fun, not profit.
warnings: written in like half an hour last night, lolcrossover
summary: Some people are born lucky.
longwindedness: I. Uh. Yeah. Look, I don't know wtf this is either. :/ There's two bonus crossover cameos in here, but I think they're unobtrusive enough that you won't see them unless you really look and know the other canons.

Gacked from a couple different people, but wrongly_amused most recently.

Give me a fandom, and I'll answer with the following:

One True Pairing Ship:

Canon Ship:

"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:

"You are one sick bastard" Ship:

"I dabble a little" Ship:

"It's like a car crash" Ship:

"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:

"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:

"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:

"When all is said and done" Ship

Saw The Dark Knight. Loved it to itty-bitty shiny bits.

I've seen some people complaining about ( something spoilery. )

CONCLUSIONS: Loved it, awesome, amazing, and I am trying to find movie-continuity Batman genfic which is a scary scary thing.

That meme that's going around - post the first lines of your 10 most recent drafts or something like that.

The catch with me is that I start a crapload of stuff that I either never finish or cannibalize and turn into something else. So I guarantee most of these probably won't see the light of day anytime soon.

No lj-cutting for Avatar because there aren't any new episodes yet, but SOON.

Things I should be doing: dishes, homework, laundry, possibly a nap because a ginormous thunderstorm woke me up last night.

Things I am actually doing: compulsively watching Iljimae, which appears to be the bastard k-drama offspring of Robin Hood and Hercules and it's cheesy and full of bad hair and all kinds of blatant historical inaccuracies and I LOVE IT.

(Not as much as Legend/Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi/whatever you want to call it, which darkeyedwolf recs here and which kind of took over my weekend a while back. But whatever. PS yes the first episode is cheesy but GO WATCH LEGEND RIGHT NOW. IT WILL EAT YOUR BRAIN.)

So yes, I am apparently developing an addition to the kind of historical k-drama that maybe has a passing acquaintance with actual, like, history. And I need to find more series to watch like NOW, because I am rapidly running out of Iljimae subs and this is making me sad.

Five-minute world-building for my dumbass crossover because I don't want to pack.

( ten interesting facts about the Hidden Mountain )

fandom: Twilight. No, really. I'm serious. Shut up.
rating: PG for alcohol and cluelessness and abuse of Shakespearean insults
disclaimerage: I don't own or want to own the sparkly vampires.
warnings: mentions of canon ship(s) and of character death, drive-by noncanon ship that I swear wasn't supposed to be there in the first place, futurefic because I'm apparently allergic to writing anything else.
summary: Sometimes the prey has natural defenses – or at least knows when to look into restraining orders.
longwindedness: So I have this problem where even when I despise something - and uh, my hatred of the whole premise of Twilight, let me show it to you - occasionally I still want to write fic about it. While attempting to keep the characters...er, in-character. Such as I can.

Anyway! Written-in-an-hour unedited bad metafic for a series I don't like because I don't feel like doing my homework. YAY.
