Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Does anyone know troll_under_the_bridge? The writing style is Yoda meets inappropriate synonym replacement plus some other undefinable ESL or something. I don't kno what I'm reading half the time but I haven't back buttoned yet.

Example: "It was not about wishing something for himself anymore, realized he with warm contentment."

The toast has a fun article on the linguistics of fannish portmanteaus. [link]

And I'm inordinately proud that I spelled "portmanteaus" right the first time around.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

It's from The March Family Letters, link, where John Brooke is Joan Brooke.

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

I nominated things! Shameful, awful things, but I nominated things this year.

Knowing one of the things you nominated this year: NOT SHAMEFUL. (Also, we need to get together so you can watch more.)

Two thirds shameful. Nominating the 2005 Fantastic Four movies on the off chance that I can get Ben/Johnny? Totes shameful.

The other nom was half for me, half for a friend, but it's also my guilty pleasure sock folding movie. So.

TAG SET IS NOW OPEN!

GUYS! What do I want to ASK FOR???

I mean, more pressingly, what am I willing to offer to write, but I think that one I can figure out and I don't have to write a letter for anyone for it.
