Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
See, normally, things come through by authors I don't recognize, from people I don't recognize, and I don't bother with reading them so I can give a scathing critique (because at this point, with LJ and list traffic, I can honestly say I *have* heard of most of the good writers out there, and new ones don't go unnoticed.)
Maybe I should start.
Hmm.
Or find an evil twin to do it for me.

I like to talk about politics with people that agree with me, and I like high class places.
Quick hello and a rec: It's called Eldorado and may be found on AllAboutSpike. The only thing wrong with this baby is thatit ends.

t fandom moan Current major irritation with fandom: people who are good writers, but use American words when writing in a British fandom (e.g. Harry Potter). Hogwarts does not have semesters. It has terms. There are other examples. I'm sure Britishisms in American fandoms are as annoying to Americans, but I don't notice those. t /moan

I'm right with you Am -- and it does go both ways, not to mention the problems with regionalisms used wrong, historically appropriate vocabulary, and so on. People writing in worlds they're not familiar with. Which is fine, but get a beta.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

One of the better CSI writers out there (elfin--she wrote an incredible fic that crosses over with the Silence of the Lambs universe) doesn't catch all of her Britishisms. This was only distracting when she referred to a male character putting on a "jumper," which in U.S.ian terms, is a sort of sleeveless dress that invariably makes one look pregnant.
