I'm pretty sure I must be doing Tumblr wrong. I just hit reblog and add a comment and some tags. I never erase previous remarks, though.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've started doing a deliberate search when I encounter a picture I want to use on provocateuse--I search by image to see if it seems to be a tumblr-produced effort, and then I look for the original instead. I just...no. Don't wanna go there.
Plus the general colour palette that seems to be trendy of adult skin tones is kinda...candyish. What *is* the deal?

The straightwashing of Irene is such a enormous and glaring thing that your pedantic brain latched onto something smaller so you wouldn't get fic rage fatigue?
No, I'm just more likely to be irritated by the small details, while boggling at the big things. I mean, seriously. It's almost impressively straightwashed. Part of the reason I keep reading is to see if the author ever acknowledges that she's writing a canon queer character as having an exceptionally het backstory. I'm... 26? chapters in, and not yet.

Was Irene not straight in A Scandal in Bohemia? I've never read it, but I read all of Carol Nelson Douglas's Adler series except the last one, and she was very het there.

She's gay in the TV show.

I'm amused and saddened by properly spelled words that don't mean what the author thinks they do.
Vernacular diseases ftw!
That's right folks, the epidemic of everyone suddenly speaking the same local language caused the apocalypse. Suddenly, no one was able to hide behind geographical or cultural misunderstandings and deliberate heretofore hidden insults, and they blew each other up in a fit of pique.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
People on Flickr are often having a cow about Pinterest.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I'm not even sure what Pinterest is. Is that similar to Instagram? Which I also don't know much about. I still upload most of my photos to livejournal scrapbook since I have a paid account and storage there -- why not use it. I have a Flickr account somewhere which I rarely use. I should probably change my default photo uploading site to one of those new fangled places but eh. Too lazy.

Pinterest is a place to put photos you find. It's like a digital corkboard.
