Is it just temporary insanity...?

Yes, I'm alive! I've even been writing a bit for my Popular fanfic100 series, but I want to go ahead and get quite a bit of it written before I start posting again, so that it's not the case that I post just a fic or two, and then go into another hiatus for years on end... So yeah.

Anyways, in an effort to get/keep my muse going, I've actually joined an "interactive challenge community" called femslash_land . I've never heard of these "land communities" before, but it sounds pretty fun.
So go check it out, and then join Team Canon Crossover with me! :) (I was on Team Canon, but they added a new team, and now I've been switched over to that one.)

Less than two weeks until the "premiere" of WMC Virtual Season 2! Woohoo! We have so many awesome things planned for this season, and we've even started talking about Season 3. The whole thing's going to be amazing, I promise you.

So, if you haven't already, go check out wmc_vs!

*goes off to work on my episode*

International Day of Femslash is tomorrow! Yay!

I asked for prompts a while back, hoping to kick-start my muse, and make sure I got a bunch of stuff written. However, that plan kind of backfired at first, since I ended up with a total of 36 prompts, and the thought of writing 36 stories ended up just feeling more daunting than anything else. So, I just sat back on the prompts for a while, before finally starting to tackle them.

Now, I have nowhere near 36 stories written, but I did end up with a bunch of stuff ready to post tomorrow. So, if I didn't do your prompt, then I apologize, and it doesn't mean that I didn't like your prompt. I'm definitely going to hold on to them and hope to eventually get through them all. Also, I have definite ideas/plans for some of the prompts that I haven't started yet, but I didn't think I could adequately cover them in a oneshot, and I don't want to have too many WIPs going at once, so I purposefully held back on those.

BUT. Enough talking about all the things that I haven't done. I DO have TEN things to post tomorrow! They range in length from 184 words to 2,745 words. I'm happier with some of them than others, but hopefully they all turned out at least decently.

Within those ten, I have...
- TWO fanfic100 updates
- SEVEN oneshots
- ONE start to a multi-parter

They also represent SEVEN different fandoms, including TWO new fandoms for me, and THREE new pairings. :)

Also, speaking of my fanfic100 (Popular) series, it recently occurred to me that I haven't been posting in the popular_fic community. I'm expecting everyone's flist to be crazy busy tomorrow, but will people feel like I'm spamming their flist too much if I start posting there too from now on?

Anyways, I'm definitely excited to see all the awesomeness that's sure to be posted tomorrow.

In conclusion: Yay for femslash! :)

ETA: Totally forgot about the whole time differences thing (I know, I know...way to be egocentric, Rebecca), so for some people, July 19th is already here! But still, I'm going to wait until it's Saturday over in my neck of the woods before I start posting.

So, I didn't get a chance to watch the Lost season finale on the night it aired, but I watched it the next day online. I was admittedly sitting pretty close to my computer screen, which I'm now grateful for, because there was a tiny little thing that happened to catch my eye, and I'm sure I wouldn't have noticed it at all if I were watching on TV.

Still, I couldn't be sure whether I actually saw what I thought I did, or whether my femslashy brain was just imagining things. But thanks to screencaps, I was able to check, and sure enough.....

First of all, I really liked last night's episode of Grey's Anatomy, but I'm not going to comment on it, because the awesomeness of Grey's was followed by OMG LOST WTF?!? and commenting on 2 shows right now would be too difficult.

So...Lost...

Ugh. My head hurts. BUT I LOVE THIS SHOW.

So, I had sort of intended to watch the new show Women's Murder Club when it was first on, but I never seemed to be free. But I recently finally got my hands on all the episodes so far and I have to say, it is a fantastic show! I really love all four main characters (and the actresses who play them), the cases are interesting, the writing and acting is good...just a quality, entertaining show overall. I'm glad that the show will be getting at least three (hopefully more than that!) more episodes. I will definitely make a point of being around to watch those episodes when they air and doing my own little part to boost ratings.

Plus, I know that there's already a ton of WMC femslash out there, and now I can totally see why. I really like the idea of Lindsay/Cindy, but I can actually totally see any combination of Linday/Cindy/Jill. Now that's impressive: when you can have a show with three supposedly straight (female) characters, but a romantic relationship between any (or all) of them would be totally believable. Somehow, Claire is just too motherly to get in on the hot, lesbian action, but she's great too. ;) Any recommendations for fics I should read? (I'm currently engrossed in the story "Sneak" by random_flores, which is a crossover with Popular, and is a really great fic!)

Speaking of Popular, how AWESOME is it that, in the movie 1st to Die, which is based on a WMC James Patterson book (the TV show is somewhat based on his books too), Claire Washburne is played by Pam Grier (Kit in The L Word), and Cindy Thomas is played by....Carly Pope! Haha, I haven't actually seen the movie, but I thought that was very cool. :)

Ah, the beginning of spring. The weather is getting warmer. The trees are getting greener ... And grown men are getting paid millions of dollars to chuck a small ball at each other. Yep, it’s the return of baseball season! Are you excited?

Daisuke seems to be happy about it.

So, there have been a bunch of posts around with pictures from the set of Gossip Girl, so I won't repeat them here. But seriously...these two are just ridiculously cute/sexy!

Really, when two hot women hold hands, their total hotness multiplies by approximately 500 times.

p.s. Happy St Patrick's Day! (No, this post doesn't have anything to do with St Patrick's Day. So what?)

So, yeah...I obviously am totally random when it comes to which episodes I comment on and which ones I don't. Oh well.

Anyway, tonight I watched a Gossip Girl repeat and the new T:SCC episode, and I don't have a ton to say, but I actually felt like commenting on both of them. So, here we go.

 

*Sigh*

I have very mixed feelings about this episode. For one thing, Zoe was awesome this week, going to her son's birthday and winning major "cool mom points" but still kicking ass at work, when Katherine and Clayton decided to make asses of themselves. (By the way, I don't really understand why Katherine and Clayton plotted to have the meeting at a time when Zoe couldn't come. Did they really think that it would go over well?) Also, Juliet kicked Davis out! Woohoo!

But then there's Caitlin. First of all, she was in the episode for what seemed like a total of five minutes. But she talked about waking up with Alicia! Cute! Why didn't we get to see them waking up together?? But then the inevitable "maybe I'm not really gay" storyline came in, and that just made me sad. Now, I have no problem with Caitlin being bisexual. In fact, it's even more realistic that she'd be bi than for her to be completely gay. But a guy has to come in after only three episodes? Really?  Plus, to flirt with the guy when your girlfriend is still in the same room as you?? Not cool, Caitlin. Not cool.

Now, a letter to Alicia:


Basically, I just really hope that the writers actually give Caitlin and Alicia a legitimate chance. I've heard that they are going to stay together, at least for a little while, so that's good, but their relationship really hasn't had much development so far, and I hope that changes.
