Text From Last Night Ficlets (Community, Glee, HIMYM and The Vampire Diaries)

Last night I watched Deathly Hallows and while on the whole I enjoyed it, my review will be filled with much snark.

( Read more... )

I finished by reread of HP and my thoughts on the final book are here. 

Also, zahrawithaz  wrote a great piece of meta on Amy Pond, her sexuality, and her sexualization.

And then I totally wasn't, so you get five days of this meme at once.

Day 01 - What is your current favourite ship
Day 02 - What was your very first ship?
Day 03 - A pairing that needs to happen now?
Day 04 - The pairing with the most chemistry?
Day 05 - The pairing with the least chemistry?
Day 06 - The best kiss?
Day 07 - The most heartbreaking scene?
Day 08 - The pairing with the most baggage?
Day 09 - The most believable relationship?
Day 10 - Why aren't these two married in real life?
Day 11 - What is your dream pairing?
Day 12 - Who had the best wedding?
Day 13 - What is your favorite television pairing?
Day 14 - What is your favorite book pairing?
Day 15 - What is your favorite real life pairing?
Day 16 - What is the absolute worst pairing?
Day 17 - A pairing you thought would never work out, but did?
Day 18 - What is the cutest pairing?
Day 19 - A pairing you've rooted for since the beginning?
Day 20 - The "can't stand the sexual tension anymore" pairing?
Day 21 - A pairing you like and no one else understands why?
Day 22 - A pairing you hate and no one else understands why?

I think I ship Hermione/Krum more than I realize because the tiny bit of that pairing at the Wedding in the 7th book made me ridiculously happy. 

Day 01 - What is your current favourite ship

This is an odd time of year: the summer shows are ending, the fall shows haven't started, I'm rereading Harry Potter, in which I ship everything, I'm rewatching TVD, but I'm right at the part where Elena and Stefan are being adorable and not yet to the point where Elena and Damon are going on road trips and be hot together, nobody is writing Annie/Jeff right now and I'm becoming intrigued by Abed/Britta and Annie/Abed, over in Burn Notice I am loving how solidly canon Michael/Fi is while I simultaneously enjoy Jesse/Fi, plus I'm shipping two Jessica (True Blood) pairings pretty much equally.

(This, btw, makes it REALLY hard to figure out what fanfic to look for when I'm browsing the internet. I have no focus.)

So I'm going to go with Katniss/Peeta, from The Hunger Games. 'Cause I can.


( Next 29 Questions )

The way my schedule worked out this week (part chance, part because I worked on Saturday and had a family outing at too-fucking-early-o'clock on Sunday), I have today off, sans a few appointments.
 
So anybody in the mood to gab about fandom?

Things I have been into recently:

•Community (besides the ubiquitous Jeff/Annie, my interest is piqued in Abed/Annie, Abed/Britta, and Britta/Annie).

•The Vampire Diaries. I just rewatched the pilot last night and was filled with happiness and joy. And I remembered why I had the foolish belief back then when this show started that I could ship Good Girl/Good Vampire. Oh, to be so young and foolish.

•Harry Potter. I'm currently on the downhill slope of Goblet of Fire and Hermione is maintaining a high standard of awesome. (Also, I like Krum/Hermione more and more as time goes on. He was a famous Quiddich star! Who went for the brainy girl! Who tragically paid more attention to the Boy Who Lived and had a crush on her oblivious best friend! SPEND THE SUMMER IN BULGARIA, HERMIONE!)

•Anastasia! I rewatched that movie with my mom a couple of nights ago and it was a really good childhood flashback. (Mom: "Did they just blame the Russian revolution on magic? Did Dimitri and Anya just elope with no money?" Me: "I'm so glad you waited until I was older to nitpick like this. (But you're right, of course.)"

•*points to tag list* While some things I later end up disliking end up in my tag-system, that and my icons are a good way to see what things I at one point liked enough to believe I'd be talking about them more than once. 

Right now, I have too fantastic (and extensive) comment memes in open windows. So to keep track of the fics that I want to be able to easily re-read, I'm going to be compiling links for my favorites. Which means that my lucky flist gets quick access to some of the best. (FYI, if you visit this post in a week, there will be more fics than there are now.)
