luciazephyr: Alistair from Dragon Age: Origins leaning against a wall, looking handsome as ever. ([DA] the man who would be)

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 [personal profile] 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 MoC if 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.

It's hard to not romance Alistair.

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?

I played a male character. I never got a rose. Stupid gender-locked game.

I have a chapter due the 8th. I'm using it as writing breaks when I can, but...

Oh, also? (cause you need more on your plate.) I was rearchiving some of my links and found a couple of your wonderful ideas about your original fic.

(Yes, I am evil like that.)

I approve of both of your theories here and would highly like to support them.

And when did you get a suits icon!?

See, I can't be mad at them for it, since they're pushing closer than anything American that's not on Logo. (And if you've ever watched Logo's serials...) And when they pander, they more or less stick (or return) to the pander, as opposed to, say, CBS, which is playing gay chicken with H50.

s01 was crazy with the "my god, am I seeing this?" s02, I think they got some serious backlash, so now there's so much inconsistency in the writing...

Like I said. s02 is two damn separate series with the same characters and it's cognitive whiplash. Sort of if you watched the Star Trek I and XI movies intercut. The characterizations alone would fry your brain.

Yeah, some of the gay is just incredible. Then the Obligatory Romantic Insert appears and... yeah. And the plots are... I've got an H50 clock running, and it's not got a lot of cushion.

Whereas USA hasn't really done any of that, yet.

There was a lot of fandom discussion during the first half of s01 that it wasn't a matter of if we were going to see Steve and Danny hook up, but when. And that it was on CBS was just downright shocking (although I'm not sure why, given the fabulosity that is The Good Wife).

Let's see:

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.

Oh, normative display of an American family, wherein normative = as gloriously fucked up as you can make a family with a single heterosexual parent pair that's trying to not damage their kids with parental drama but the kids are not idiots at all and...

You get the idea. Anyway, if you can't find the DVDs, drop me a line and I'll poke around.

Ooh! Looking forward to both Bakery AU and MoC! (...er. I'm always terrible at commenting on individual chapters of them, but I read and love it all!)
