I'm kind of tempted to make the last sentence my new tagline.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

an ‘Antique Road Show’
I'm fairly convinced it should be an antiques road show, but I don't want to go and look it up just in case it turns out that I'm right, because then I'd know that and I'd be scaring myself. re-reads sentance Now is not the time to start the complicated essay, is it? My sense-making appears to have stayed in bed.

I so enjoy these snippets of The TFN-fic From Hell that you bring us. Although most of the time I'm reduced to lurkage these days, but - gosh. It's priceless.
edited for stoopid typo. sigh.

I got my yuletide job as well. There's nothing particularly strange about it, but... suddenly I have no idea how to do it. Why did I sign up for this again?
And it's het. Don't get me wrong, I volunteered for it. Still, I haven't written anything with girls in it since... um... X-Men?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'm prepping a recommendation for Crack Van, and I was wondering if the following would sail over the heads of too many people in the group:
(title) is one of the darkest, most painful CSI fics I have ever read. How dark? How painful? Well, imagine for a moment that Jerry Bruckheimer decided one day to turn over creative control of the show. To Tim Minear. That about sums it up.
Thoughts? Should I leave it as-is or rephrase?

Thanks, erika. It'll be a day or two before the rec is posted, since I'm waiting for the author to post the epilogue to the fic (which should happen any time now.) I'm also champing at the bit to post my crossover rec. It's all typed up and ready to go, and I'm tempted to post it now and not wait until tomorrow.

I watched Boondock Saints this weekend and I have a fannish question, has anyone seen it?

Thrive to spite them
It was an okay movie, it lost me a bit toward the end though and I really didn't like Willam Defoe.
I don't get where people see the subtext and not in my "la la la there's no sex in LoTR" kinda way. There's just nothing there between the brothers, no disturbing hodgeberry kind of actions.
