I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Because, apparently, any two warm bodies would do, and those were the only two warm bodies. (Except one woman I knew who was doing Jack/Daniel, back when SG1 was still on Showtime, and I was like, "Wait, you can slash anybody ? Even if they aren't eyefucking alla time in the text?" It was a landmark discovery for me.)

Yay for eleventy zillion more cable channels. Improving the chances of slashed texts that don't suck by a million percent!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well, no. It's a buddy show, it's got your classic pairing of action man/brainy man, and the two characters were ridiculously close, and got more so as the show went on. Once your spirit animals merge, where else is there to go?

The script room, clearly!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Well, no. It's a buddy show, it's got your classic pairing of action man/brainy man, and the two characters were ridiculously close, and got more so as the show went on. Once your spirit animals merge, where else is there to go?

It's also addictive like crack-covered potato chips. And the subtext was barely sub, as they say.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Oh, discovering The Sentinel was a golden period of fandom for me. There was so much fic, on a more than acceptable level of creativity and intelligence!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I still haven't been able to get over the bad production values of the origina (Sentinel)l, no matter how good the writers are.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Um, this isn't fanfic, but I still thought you lovely folks might enjoy this work of LotR fannish craftsmanship: Not just a gingerbread house. No indeed.

Always Anti-fascist!

Why did I say I could write Sports Night fic? I never have. Though I am a big fan and definitely can write fast talk with a lot of references in it. But I'm still afraid fangirls will pelt me with things, and I don't mean porn.

Fangirls will be *thrilled* that there is more Sports Night fic. I saw you grab a prompt earlier, though I forget which one, but it will be awesome.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
