writing and links and things

I say this every year, but it's going to be so obvious which bsg_remix story is mine. The more I wrote (finished a second draft last night) the more all of the themes I love kept popping out. It's sort of embarrassing, actually. I should write a post about id-fic and WHAT THE HECK DOES IT SAY ABOUT MY ID when I keep writing [theme redacted for an attempt at secrecy] over and over again.

(Handy part about being a mod: giving myself a deadline extension.)

I have some fun links:

Here's a trailer for a Harry Potter TV show The Aurors. I wish this weren't an April Fools joke, 'cause I would watch this.

The Bronx Zoo cobra has been recovered.. Too bad--I was rather enjoying her tweets as she was out and about NYC. My favorite tweet: Enjoying a cupcake @magnoliabakery. This is going straight to my hips. Oh, wait. I don't have hips. Yesss! Heeeeee!

Dear Wonder-Woman: YOU Will Get Arrested If You Fight Crime in That Top.

This weekend is my church's General Conference, which is what I'll be watching in a bit, sitting comfortably on the futon, instead of going to church. I love General Conference. (For many reasons, not just couch-sitting instead of pew-sitting twice a year, but hey--that part is pretty awesome too.)


To wrap up this post: I started watching Wall-E recently and I got so depressed after fifteen minutes that I turned it off. Yet people keep telling me how awesome it is. Will it be awesome enough to clear away the CLOUD OF DOOM AND DEPRESSION induced by the first fifteen minutes? Will I cry and resent all of you who loved it if I finish watching it? (Personal resentment! I'll hold a grudge, I'm warning you now!) heh

That's part of why we ask the 'how far out of your comfort zone' question. Happily there were enough other Gaeta fans signed up. ;-)

I think this happens in almost every fandom with a wide selection of characters--we all pick our favorites and write mostly them. Something like 20% of all my stories are about Leoben/the Twos. Probably a (much) higher percentage if you go by word count.

(Honestly, this is part of why I won't do the multi-fandom remix. They only match fandoms, not preferred characters, and there are characters I simply could not write on BSG and Doctor Who. And I get why they do that, but it's scary!)
