AHAHAHAHA! AWESOME!
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

I'm embarrassed as I post this, but how could I not. Vamp!Keith Olbermann(yes, really) sort of has dinner with Rachel Maddow. [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm embarrassed to say I read that, but how could I not?

I'm embarrassed to say I picture him hanging around Angel trying to find a loophole in the "Perfect-happiness" clause. Because, really, define "perfect", and well, happiness changes day-to-day(Don't we all?) Plus some samplings of what Churchill and Bram Stoker said on the subject. I thought it was funny what a neat vampire KO made...that's what all the private school does for you. You're polite on your way out of the grave.

Scary how easy it is to see KO as a polite, neat vampire.
Rachel would make a great vampire. "Stoker says Dracula was able to go outside at noon! DUDE, I'm reading it RIGHT NOW." I love Rachel. Did I tell you my sister's staunchly conservative not-given-to-thinking-overmuch co-worker is now watching Rachel and adores her?

The Mets win the series, and, in a freak accident, the last fly ball of the game takes out Dick Cheney. Instant de-soulification for KO.

Suddenly, those nights when he goes for the mafia pinstripes make more sense... also, whole 'nother vibe to "Yankee Fans Suck!1" No, that's cool, though. Rachel is adorable. All the other vampires would shake their heads to see both men and women go off with Vamp!Rachel. She could take over for the prissy Vamp Activist on True Blood, or would that just turn that metaphor in upon itself?ETA: And, now, as promised, a Special Comment. Damn it, I've been in this business over twenty years...can't I have five more minutes before the running and screaming breaks out? Ok, three, and if you bleep me, I'll eat you.

You know what's worse than straight-up bad fanfic? One that starts out sorta good, has potential, and then skews into weird as the author apparently stops "writing" and starts taking down her masturbatory fantasy verbatim. (Note to the thankfully-unknown author: Nobody says "I'm going to mark you with my seed." Nobody. Has. Ever. Said. That. If someone says that in your fantasy, that's cool, but please. Just... don't write that down. Not to coin a phrase, but I threw up in my mouth a little.)
On a related note, there seems to be a dearth of good Leverage fanfic.

I've seen it; thanks, though. Alas, one of the fics there is the one I'm bitching about.
The real problem with fic I don't like is, it makes me itchy to write my own. And that way lies madness and sleepless nights and misplaced perfectionism.
