Gee, it's been a while since I posted

Like, really. In between this post and the last, I went to Chicago. Yeah. Spent a week trolling around the Mag Mile, Lakeview, and Wrigleyville with
binz. I'll probably do a big post about it when I get the photos developed. To say the least, it was the most amazing thing I've ever done. And Binz deserves all the praise for putting me up and dealing with me. I hung onto her like a particularly aggressive fungus, I swear. SORRY BINZ. ILU~!
The Bakery AU is done, but waiting on a beta. It's just that everyone's busy, it seems, so ya'll have to wait. Sorry. Usually by now, I'd go stir-crazy and post it anyway, but I'm fairly certain the ending is terrible, so I actually need the betas to whip me into shape. Then AO3 editing and the final edition will be up. The first two chapters need a lot of work, I need to make a few factual corrections, and there's a new scene going in. So. There's that. Then back to MoCif anyone besides me even remembers that series, erm.
Been playing Dragon Age: Origins in my scarce free time. And I will never be able to give anyone shit for romancing Mass Effect 2's Thane because he's OBVIOUSLY calculated and evilly designed to pander to fangirls, seeing how Alistair is also obviously calculated and evilly designed to pander to fangirls and OH WHOOPS guess I'm romancing him. 8|
So are we not doing Fandom Yuletide Wishlists this year? I remember getting some cool fanfic covers and making some icons a few years back... I love fannish wishlists.

Date: 2011-12-04 03:22 am (UTC)As for the beta, I'm working on it, but I'm also trying to get a chapter done - when do you need it by?

Date: 2011-12-04 03:32 am (UTC)I'm in the middle of my finals week, so it's not pressing. I've just had multiple people ask about it, so I'm giving a status update. And it's not just your (admittedly fabulous) beta I am waiting on, so.

Date: 2011-12-04 03:44 am (UTC)I'm not going to be done with class until after that, so that works. Whenever you can get to it, really. And if I happen to post before I get your beta, I would still love your thoughts. AO3 editing, ahoy.
I have so many more thoughts on my orific. I have so much about Jonquil and her ghost, man. THEY MET IN AN OLD THEATRE. THE GHOST IS NAMED AFTER SOME GOLDEN HOLLYWOOD ACTOR. HE HAS NO MEMORY OUTSIDE FILMS. REALITY CONFUSES HIM. /etc

Date: 2011-12-04 04:11 am (UTC)Oh god. H50 makes me squirm with the level of gay going on there. I mean, fucking hell. I have never seen anything that gay. I've kind of stopped watching because I have no idea what the TPTB of that show is doing. They can't not realize, right?

Date: 2011-12-04 04:33 am (UTC)IDK. If H50 wasn't on CBS, I'd think they were just going to Go There with it.

Date: 2011-12-04 04:42 am (UTC)Legal cases that don't completely suck and aren't run around.
Strong female character slowly taking control of her life.
Half a dozen other strong female characters.
Canon bisexual and gay characters who are not stereotypes.
Main female character receiving - on-screen(ish) - oral sex against a wall from a guy.
I'm not the best to proselytize, since that's not how I roll, but yes. It's worth seeing.

Date: 2011-12-04 03:34 am (UTC)Binz picked up some from the Magnolia Bakery that were pretty okay? The red velvet was brilliant.
If I come back, I will remember to post something prior. I kind of didn't think, "Hey, maybe some fannish folk live in Chicago." :terrible:
