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 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.

But in H50 from what I've seen (most of S1, some of S2) they don't even pretend it's not about Danny And Steve's Relationship Troubles. There are female love interests in the far, far, far background.

IDK. If H50 wasn't on CBS, I'd think they were just going to Go There with it.

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).

[luciazephyr]

.... I need to see The Good Wife, huh?

[samjohnsson]

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.

ffffff it's like "Here are a list of things Lucy enjoys in her media!" Fuck. Okay, when this semester is over, I will find some S1 DVDs. They must be around somewhere.

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.
