Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh dear lord. Part one of a Mulder/Mike Logan (L&O) mpreg just hit my inbox. Can I bear to read it? Can I bear not to?

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

Can I bear not to?

Try to be strong.

or at least share the really awful bits

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hope it's Mulder.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Why have I suddenly lost all interest in meta? Seriously, up until a few months ago or so I was neutral to fascinated, but all of a sudden every time it comes through I think "oh, crap, not again." Honestly, I'm starting to feel anti-intellectual. Or possibly like an inhabitant of New Haven. (There was a study done in New Haven, CT, which revealed that some huge percentage of New Haven residents--I don't remember what it was, but well over half--had been part of a Yale-initiated research study in the previous year.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Because you feel like you've seen it all?

Sigh. Yeah, probably. Makes me feel unkind to forever be thinking "oh, for fuck's sake, who cares?" though. Oh well.

brillig

I've never worried about meta. My literary criteria has always been "Did I enjoy it?". When people point out meta things, I can see them, but I very rarely see them for myself.

I think most people hit that point with meta talk. I did. It's not that I don't find the topics themselves interesting, but I have very little that's new to say, and most people don't have anything new to say, so I'm pretty content to go off and read new fic instead.

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

Why have I suddenly lost all interest in meta?

Because when fandom talks about itself, it stops producing anything other than endless essays about fandom and becomes really hella boring?
