Thought for the day
Feb. 10th, 2010 09:04 amHabits are subroutines.
I've been meaning to post about Avatar, which I saw with JB last week.
One word: Beautiful.
Two words: So beautiful.
(And the 3D actually worked, too.)
But it wasn't just beautiful; sure, the plot was an old and tired plot, but the characterisation was good enough that it didn't feel old and tired. No, not particularly deep characterisation, but it wasn't flat, either, and it could so easily have been.
Worldbuilding! Yes! Languages with subtitles! Alien critters! Strange loveliness!
JB and I spent quite a bit of time after the movie discussing the strengths and the weaknesses of the worldbuilding, and wondering what sort of fanfic sequel one could write. So it was good in that way, too.

Cracky crossover romance idea
Jan. 21st, 2010 09:15 amAfter reading yet another SS/HG story (okay, so I'm addicted), this one with a sweet Remus as another suitor (don't worry, it made sense in context), it occurred to me that a crossover romance that would be nice to see would be Remus/Tara. (Tara from Buffy). They're just both so sweet they deserve each other.

help_haiti auction; if you want me to write you a story, bid on me here.
The auction finishes at 3 in the morning, my time, which means that if I'm outbid on those I'm bidding on, I won't be able to make another bid. Oh well.
