Sure. I think the DVDs are $15 plus a couple of bucks for shipping. I'll ping you for your mailing address once I have the DVDs.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
You know what's sad? When a fanfic writer who is both prolific and generally very good starts slipping. But then, I am not certain I can tell if the actual skill level is backsliding, or if my interest in the fandom is slipping so now the shine has faded.

It's interesting how a genderswap story will change how I view a character. I'd been avoiding a Clint/Phil story because of the genderswap, but finally gave in because of how many times it had been bookmarked.
Things like Coulson's love of trash TV and Supernanny. Make him a woman, and suddenly it seems pathetic and lonely. But as a man, it strikes me as an interesting quirk. Maybe it's the context. Where as a man, it was mentioned in passing, as a woman, it's described as her evening alone. So maybe it's also the author having a bias. Yet still...
I'm judging me.

I think that's a good example of how fanfic can address social perceptions of gender. It's one of the reasons I love the trope (and fanfic, for that matter), especially when it's used in that way (even if it's inadvertent, which can be hard for me to tell).
