Had an awful day at work. Came home to people sobbing about a fic all over my inbox.
Day was instantly made.
Thank you, followers, for allowing me to screw with your feelings :) It’s much appreciated.
“…We were particularly amazed when thousands, then tens of thousands of people began creating their own personal Star Trek adventures. Stories, and paintings, and sculptures, and cookbooks. And songs, and poems, and fashions. And more. The list is still growing. It took some time for us to fully understand and appreciate what these people were saying. Eventually we realized that there is no more profound way in which people could express what Star Trek has meant to them than by creating their own very personal Star Trek things. Because I am a writer, it was their Star Trek stories that especially gratified me. I have seen these writings in dog-eared notebooks of fans who didn’t look old enough to spell ‘cat.’ I have seen them in meticulously produced fanzines, complete with excellent artwork. Some of it has even been done by professional writers, and much of it has come from those clearly on their way to becoming professional writers. Best of all, all of it was plainly done with love…. That is the highest compliment and the greatest repayment that they could give us.”

I Think That the Fan Base of "Battlestar Galactica" Needs to File a Class-Action Lawsuit Against Bear McCreary for Emotional Distress.
hi can I read winters chid without being frustrated that it is not finished? I mean will it endish after each part or do you write it with cliffhangers?
Well, I don’t know about the being-frustrated-that-it’s-not-finished part, but there aren’t any major cliffhangers at the moment. :)
Each story is self-contained, and any multi-fic story arcs within the series are complete. If we’ve done our job correctly, you can start reading from the beginning and go in chronological order or you can read in the order that we posted. Or read in any order that you choose, really!
Hope this helps.
Imagine...
If Kai Winn and Dolores Umbridge got together… oh man. They could do some damage.
I have never despised two characters more than I do those two.
*shudders*
Ugh, summaries, how do you work?
Also, not that this is news, but Memory Alpha is officially the coolest site out there and my new best friend.
*geeks out*
I have to stay away from that site. I can spend hours reading the technical details of the various ships and weapons.
Oh, God, same here. I also get lost in character backgrounds and episode summaries. It’s bad… but awesome.

Finally updated my fic master list over on LJ, and everything has been updated at AO3. There are a few new Sherlock fics and also a new Star Trek one (finally!).
Productive Imp is productive.
- someone needs to link me to some Sherlock/Lestrade
- Or John/Lestrade
- or John/Sherlock/Lestrade
- or just write it for me
- that’s what should happen
- I need it.
- For reasons.
- You don’t even know.
There are fic recs at Fuck Yeah Sherlock/Lestrade and Fuck Yeah John/Lestrade. We put up OT3 fics on both blogs, too. Enjoy!
“Being asexual instead of sexual is like being left-handed instead of right-handed. It’s not the way most people are, but it is no better or worse than being anything else. In a classroom with movable one-arm desks, a right-handed person can sit anywhere; a left-handed person can either sit in discomfort at a desk made for the right-handed or locate a left-handed desk and be as comfortable as everyone else. It takes a little more effort for the left-handed person to fit in, but that is because culture is dominated by the right-handed, not because a left-handed person is biologically inferior.”

I love this quote so much, and I think it’s applicable to much more than just asexuality.

Apparently, Minneapolis is a hotbed of Sherlockians.
Seriously, it is ridiculous the number of fandom people I stumble across who happen to live in the Twin Cities.
Man, I wish I could find more people in Minneapolis who are also Trekkies. :/ Nobody around here seems to share my love!
*waves* I share it!
