Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Just popping to share an extremely good G-rated Harry Potter one-shot, featuring the librarian and Umbridge, Desk Duty.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

People are stressed out over the election.

So in the interest of some good clean (or dirty) fun, I've started a short-term ficathon: La La La 2004. For those of us who'd rather read/write fic, make silly icons, and generally bury our heads in the sand between now and Tuesday.

Come play!

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

Culture Vultures, by Yahtzee. So, what happens when Willow and Oz and Faith all decide to visit the Met?

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

Not fanfic as such, but this had me weeping with laughter.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Also, choosing my requests is *painful*.

That was painful. Should be fun, though.

I just posted my first crack_van rec. For some reason, I'm more jittery about this than about posting my own fic.

I wonder what it says about me that I'm less worried about people thinking I'm a bad writer than I am about people thinking I have bad taste?

Always Anti-fascist!

I felt the same way Anne. I'm not even a slasher, mostly, which puts me on Fandom's special bus wearing a football helmet.
