Ye Olde Internytte Polles, gramaere 5p mor

[odditycollector]

And there is no silly thing for today… at least none typed up. There is a bit of suspicious Dom!Aziraphale sitting in my notebook, but I feel that last night’s typo fest has taught me a lesson about transcribing when tired. (Pro’ly won’t take, but.)

You know, as much enjoyment as I get from writing fic, cracked or not, sometimes I really wish my creative process tended towards the more… original. It’s just getting silly. I was all excited today because I thought I’d stumbled onto an idea for a possibly interesting AU crossover thing, but about a sentence and a half in I stopped, realizing suddenly that someone else had already written that story better than I ever could.

*sigh* I’m tempted just to write it anyway.

In other not so much news as stating the obvious, I find myself drifting more and more away from the GO fandom. On the one hand, this is normal behaviour for me – I tend to jump primaries every few months – but on the other hand, I find myself all but wincing when something new arrives on lower_tadfield. Or maybe it’s that I’m running out of stories for them. Or maybe it’s just that many of the people who were around when I got sucked in have went on to other things as well, and I am more of a sheep than I might have supposed.

And now, a poll!

wow, you may be the first person I've ever met who's heard of the arrogant worms. My favorite was their christmas album

"Santa's coming and he's gonna kick your ass"

They're better known up here. Not insanely so, I admit, but most people have a vague idea of "that band that makes fun of the country, eh?"

I favour the birthday song, myself. It's useful, if you want to piss people off at their parties...

rubynye wrote a little meta on fandom squick limits here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/rubynye/131630.html), and it wiffles past 'fandom sheep tendency' a little.

Hmm, thanks. I'll have to read it when I get a chance.

I feel like I've been in fandom transition mode for ages now--which happens every so often, but it's never lasted this long. Given my usual habits, I really should've jumped ships by now, but nothing's really grabbed me.

And I have no idea why l_t is still on my friendslist as the most I do with it lately is check the comments to see if anyone I know enjoyed the fic, and then click the back button if they're not there.

We should totally pimp things at each other. Why should I watch... *checks interests* Sailor Moon?

I find myself slipping more and more towards the DC comics side of things, although I am at a easily distractible stage. Just looking for something shiny that gets at my kinks, right?

Because it's about a varying number of teenage girls who have magical powers and save the world while still managing to have actual personalities instead of just being "gusty" and "butt-kicking." Well, okay, Jupiter's pretty into the butt-kicking thing, but she also loves cooking and flowers.

I keep drifting over there too. Although the only comics I read are the ones that turn up on scans_daily(why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?). So it's mostly cartoons.

No pairing has really taken over my brain, which is probably what I need to get past the whole "what the hell is still canon this month?" problem. And Batman: TAS wormed its way into my brain, so I have a very low tolerance for gritty, angsty, complete bastard Batman (he's only a complete bastard most of the time, dammit!)

Which is a point, but you can get comics online is you like (bittorrent and DC++ are good for that, as examples).

Or I can put a few up for you. I think I have some good stuff on my hard drive right now.

Hmm. If I was going to check out a couple eps of Sailor Moon, which would you recommend?
