The past couple days, I've been on an Iron Man kick. I have no real explanation. Something struck me, though. I've not seen any evidence of much fic from Tony's pov. I can understand that he'd be a bitch and a half to write, but, still.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Oh dear. I've been sifting through the SGA big bang fics, and one by an author I usually enjoy is really pushing the Rodney-is-a-woobie-super-genius-who's-unfairly-mistreated-by-everyone,-especially-That-Bitch-Samantha-Carter button for all it's worth. WTF?

AUGH metafandom.

I enjoy fandom so much more when I avoid metafandom. I mean, I want to like it, but it just makes me angry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's up?

I got linked. Influx of comments. Not prepared to deal with people who are wrong who disagree with me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That took nearly a week. I am kinda shocked. I don't disagree with you, just I assumed it'd bring all the commenters to your yard sooner when I first read it. Yikes! I hope it doesn't get too wanky.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, we can't have any definition of terms that requires any responsibility on the part of authors. Any definitive thought. Authorial intent, peoples!
Which is to say, want us to respond to the Wrong People for you?

You are welcome to jump in if you're interested in the conversation, but not obligated to on my behalf.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Question prompted by last night's Halloween costume, and pondering the implications of same: Do there exist, anywhere, any crossover fics that place Mary Poppins anywhere in Rowling's Wizarding world? It seems like between her serene self-confidence, her smarts and her obvious Muggle sympathizing there ought to be a decent historical fic out there somewhere, but I just made the mistake of randomly searching without Buffista assistance and the results were horrid (only two--one mildly irritating but so boring I had to bail within the first four paragraphs, and one at least impressive for containing a spectacular amount of wrong in only six paragraphs). I firmly resolve to do no more flailing in the dark and to only explore with the guidance of the hivemind.
So, um, do any such things exist? That aren't horrid?
