Um.
Okay, seriously. I've been reading these complaints that the Narnia fandom is overrun by Peter/Susan fics? SERIOUSLY? Where?!? Where are all the Peter/Susan fics these people keep on complaining about?!
If you guys haven't watched The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, you probably should. RUN DON'T WALK. It's all bloated adolescent egos, hijinks, crass conversation, overconsumption of alcohol, Jodie Foster holy shit, comic books, Jena Malone! (I love Jena Malone!), and Tim and Francis's enduringlove friendship, all against the backdrop of Catholic school. It's exactly the kind of movie I want to write "are you quite sure it's gen?" fic about. Ya, Tim/Francis fic, let you show me it!
--Monsoon Wedding. MADE ME CRY. Straight through the last 20 minutes! And there are sentiments and flourishes throughout that made me go "<33333!" and reminded me of home.
--Neverwhere miniseries. Um, cute? The Marquis and Door were sexy, Croup and Vandemar were quite adequate, but Islington just kind of looks like some yob off the streets, or Chris Martin with worse teeth. Hunter was a disappointing ham. Everything was very 90s goth, right down to the industrial club that was the Floating Market. THAT was weird. The Scottish accent has always charmed me, even if whoever it was that played Richard didn't. I got the Neverwhere miniseries at around the same time I got Idlewild's Best Of compilation, so it was kind of like Hooray Scottish Accents Week for me.
--The Secret Garden. Have not finished watching or reading it, but Colin/Mary/Dickon OT3! (Sorry, Rogue/Bobby/John.) Because you know that once they come of age, they will be mad for each other. There are a hundred empty rooms at Misselthwaite Manor, perfect for secrets, and Mary and Colin do know how to get their way... Hmm, movie Martha is much younger than I remember her. Same with movie Dickon. Martha's younger than me! Weird. Oh, the discombobulation of growing up and coming back to children things. It turns out my memories of The Secret Garden line up much more with the movie rather than the book. I guess I didn't do my reading homework in fourth grade either.
--Hot Fuzz. Is HILARIOUS. Its self-awareness lets it get away with all sorts of gratuitous crap. And I love it.
My knowledge of mid-90s pop-rock won me a ficlet by bedlamsbard, which you should all read. I asked for Peter and Susan drinking in England, and lo, they are. On that note, Dee wrote Peter and Susan being strong and dignified and Pen wrote Caspian and Peter and Susan in revelry. And someone wrote Caspian gen, which is a rare, rare bird. Ya, the recs format is not so great this time, EH WELL.

uh. hi! long time no talk, good to see you're having new fandom fun, and. YAY

Hey you! Ya, I dusted off this LJ at the beginning of summer and fell back into old habits. And I'm still shipping siblings wtf? *facepalm*
You've rather dropped off the map yourself. Clicking through your LJ reveals you have been stolen away by some wonderful-sounding place called the Gymboree?
no subject
and yes, RL sort of ate me. I met a boy, there was love, it was far more entertaining than sitting on my own at a computer too much. so i can't complain. am still with the boy and the love, but really miss writing and inspiration so I've been trying to ease back in a little; do a bit more reading, try and get myself writing. just. ANYTHING. I'm hoping soon to start something original, so I really need to bloody kick myself in the arse. yes.
Gymboree is a children's day play centre thing. so I clap and sing and am generally a tit. it's great! :D

AHAHA. Something similar happened to me. Mostly university happened and suddenly I was too not sober to write fic or even want to. And then there was love with a boy! Still is. But lately I've been wanting to go back to my roots and write more (god I used to write ALL THE TIME). Right now's my lazy transition summer between undergrad and postgrad, but I'm slowly regressing back to old hobbies, and then I watched Prince Caspian, and the regression picked up speed. EXPONENTIALLY. NARNIA EXPLOSION. With less Jesus and more incest!

HOORAY CREATIVE

DUDE I AM WRITING SOMETHING. a flist member wanted a titanic au for bandslash and my brain went 'HAHAHA hang on'. so it's going to be all angsty but interesting, not actually crack. but this is writing! YEAH! i may even try a drabble. CHECK IT OUT

titanic au for bandslash
SEE ICON. WILL THEY GO TO A "REAL PARTY"? I HOPE THERE IS SEXYTIMES IN A CAR SOMEWHERE.
Okay, so this bandslash, does it pertain to like any band or like understood to be a certain group of bands, what?
no subject
HAHA well. it's primarily My Chemical Romance; I have been a shameless mcr ho for a couple of years now. been a bit out of the loop recently but still very fond of the boys, so I thought I'd give it a go. it'll either turn out to be a PROPER titanic au, wherein the real party is some irish SKA dancing, and instead of a ballet moment the dude in my icon does his party trick backbend. OR it'll be some weird doomed love sinking ship cos you're off your tits on drugs metaphor...thing. maybe both. I DON'T KNOW.

I'm very fond of Neverwhere, both TV and book, but it was always the faintest bit underwhelming. Like it didn't quite make it to awesome, but so very nearly.
