Fandom Chatter

1. I SO wish I could talk about the fic I'm writing for the rs_games. Have I mentioned how much I hate anonymity? But seriously, I am SO psyched about this one. It's one I've wanted to write since November 1, 2006. I'm dying here! I keep spamming teamposthogwarts, but I'm afraid to drive everyone there nuts. But I haven't been this excited about a writing project in a while. Okay, lie. I really had fun with Remix this year, and I really enjoyed doing my first rs_games fic, too. Anyone figured out which one I wrote for that yet? :)

BTW- rynne, I owe you a ficlet for guessing my Remix, as you're the only one who formally guessed. Prompt?

I do think I'm going to have to cut scenes though. I'm getting a rambling feeling. :P

2. We watched the Lost finale last night. Finally, we're getting somewhere! I KNEW it was Locke in the casket! I knew it! And I knew they'd get found by Penny's boat! Two for two, without peeking at spoilers! Oh, yeah. I'm good. (Not really. It's pretty rare I guess it like that.)

I liked Juliet's Dharma brand booze. It amused me, as did the look on her face when Sawyer swam shirtless out of the ocean. Jack who?

They can have as much assassin!Sayid as they want, as far as I'm concerned. And that fight between him and the Rambo dude? (Thanks, Hurley.) Oh, that was AWESOME choreography. Have you ever seen Naveen Andrews outside of Lost though? It's really funny to hear his British accent.

Sun broke my heart. I hope Jin's not really dead, but I'm afraid he might be. Which sucks, because I love Jin. Funny, because I didn't when the show started. He's an awesome character. And Jin-Michael... my favorite line is still "Picking up on a little Korean there, Michael?" "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I know how to say "faster" and "idiot"." I miss first season. First season was KICKASS.

I do feel like I need to rewatch. One thing about Lost is they leave plotlines dangling too long, so when they answer questions you almost forget they were asked. It's also interesting that I'm almost feeling sympathetic to the Others. I liked the goodbye scene between Ben and Locke. (I am also betting money that there is Ben/Locke slash out there, but I don't want to read it.)



3. We're still playing catchup on BSG. I'm now betting on Gaeta being the last Cylon, with Zarek as my runner-up. I just can't get the girls as interesting possibilities. I don't want Starbuck to be a Cylon, or Roslin, and Dee is too boring, and Cally... nah. And those are the most interesting girls. Plus, I don't like Tory at all. :P

I'm loving BSG, but I find that Lee Adama bores me. And Lee/Starbuck bores me. Probably because I love Sam, and I'd go for him over Lee any day. But it doesn't matter, because there is Roslin/Papadama, and they are my OTP. However, it's odd, but do you know who I would probably be crushing on if I was single and on Galactica? Gaeta. He fits my type exactly- smart, a bit cocky about it, a bit of a geek, and brave in a specific way. Just like Simon would be my Firefly crush.

I think we're going to do Golden Compass tonight, but I look forward to more BSG. And Howard's home all week, so maybe we'll catch up.



4. The 800-word prequel from JKR- that's kind of cool. I like to think she's not deliberately trying to screw over any one section of fandom, and am seriously rooting for James and Sirius on the motorbike and being pulled over for speeding and then flying away. Hijinks ahoy! It would not surprise me if I am right, but it also would not surprise me if I am wrong.

I hope they put out another good sci-fi show sometime. We're almost out of episodes. :P

Oh! I know what I was going to ask. I want to make a sci-fi/fantasy mix- songs that have been used for sci-fi fantasy stuff (or are about it). Anyone have any great suggestions? My list is pretty short so far- "All Along the Watchtower" by Bob Dylan, "Keep Holding On" by Avril Lavaigne, "Storybook Love" by Mark Knopfler, and the song at the end of Prince Caspian, which was pretty cool. Oh, and "Blood of a King", which I don't remember where I got it from but was an awesome fencing/workout song when I used to fence. Other suggestions?

I may have to do that. This freaking fic is up to 16,890 words, and there is STILL no R/S content!
