I seem to have joined the fandom in the last 2-3 weeks. Only a year and a half late.

EMMA SWAN IS AWESOME. SNOW WHITE IS AMAZING. I NEED ALL THE FIC IN THE WORLD.

Only one problem - I'm face blind enough that half the time I won't recognize a character when we switch worlds. It seriously took me the entire episode to realize who Mary Margaret Blanchard was. Seriously.

I like Warehouse 13, but it really pisses me off sometimes. Are lesbians so terrifying that you can write the world's least subtext multi-season romance, seriously making Xena look subtle, where one of the characters has verbally confirmed that she sleeps with women, and you can't give them a fucking goodbye kiss, or even just an "I love you"? I swear to god, if they find a way to bring her back again next season and there isn't a kiss, I'm going to explode in sheer fury. It's not going to shock anyone - blind, deaf fundamentalists who don't own tvs have already noticed that they're in love, thanks.

So this should be interesting. I hope someone with a HD camara records the whole thing!

ETA: Oh no, I only just saw this one. D: D: D: D:

I loved, loved, loved their music.

My God. It's... it's a wee!chester fanfic. I'm pretty sure I've read this one. O_O

"Huh, that looks kind of familiar."
( ew )

"Oh, yeah."
( I loved that series. )

Someone's a manga fan? Or did they just watch The Thing too many times?

I have a Google+ account now, and unlike Facebook, this one will include fannish content (though not necessarily a lot of it and along with the normal crap). I'm findable under my real name "Risha Jorgensen".

FYI, I'm unlikely to ever have chat turned on unless a special event is happening - something about it has always bugged me. I keep it permanently turned off on Facebook, for instance.

Who friendlocks a bigbang?

I've been assuming that it was a mistake, but it's been most of a day and multiple people have commented. Hopefully she's just out for the day or something.

I glanced at this earlier today, to see if it looked like something to bookmark for later. After all, it's

bandombigbang, the author's name was vaguely familiar but not someone who had really made an impression on me, and I already had about four more stories in queue that I was really excited about.

And then I got sucked in and couldn't get away. Today at work was super busy, balancing two projects that were both in crisis, and I still snuck time everywhere I could, to read for just a few. more. minutes. It was that gripping. She was that gripping.

(For the record, I've already reread the Paramore section three times.)

I have to admit, I went into chapter one expecting an abject failure - but I was proven wrong.

My hat's off to you and your WIP story,

According to Neil Gaiman, Diana Wynne Jones, one of the best fantasy writers of all time, has died. I knew she had cancer and had ceased chemotherapy last year, but it's still the kind of news you hope never to hear.

Vote to get Empires on the cover of Rolling Stone! Oh, and onto Jimmy Fallon. And play Bonaroo. And they get signed. Stuff like that.

Current Music: Empires - I Want Blood
Crossposts: http://rishabree.livejournal.com/39039.html

Here, have a random reminder of how awesome Empires is:

Are you excited as I am that they're recording new music as we speak (thank you for the stalking help, Twitter)? You know you are!

Speaking of which, I saw Lights Resolve on tour with Empires, and they were great. Great enough that I actualfax told them that when I ran into them in the Empires audience, and I never speak to the bands when I get the chance - I'm way too shy! Album coming soon, and I'm definitely there. Here's the brand new trailer.

Oh man, awesome, Fox Movie Channel is showing The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother. Crazy obscure. Unless you're a big Gene Wilder / Marty Feldman / Madeline Kahn fan, of course.

Guys,

werewolfbigbang has been putting out a highly improbable amount of excellent fic, and I can't continue not to share. A large percentage of it has been bandom (in fact, all of my recs are at least partially MCR), but there was a lot of other stuff in the mix too, including original fiction, and a couple of rare fandoms (The Mighty Boosh? Seriously?). I couldn't find an officially listed end date, but as the last story went up back on the 13th, I assume posting is complete.

It took me about five minutes staring at my screen to decide what was going to be my top rec. Gut wrenching realism? Or shockingly unexpected fantasy? It was a seriously tough call.
