HPFandom.net... account suspended... any information to be had?
Per darlinggirl1263 on LJ: The account was suspended for "excessive CPU usage". The mod is working to get things back up and running. We'll just have to wait it out.

On rereading The Vampire Diaries: I love how the explanation for why, in the end, Elena is not at all afraid of Stefan basically boils down (from somewhat flowery terms, as Stefan is a bit of a sap regarding Elena) to 'she totally tops and she knows it.'

To be honest, I hadn't intended on posting anymore about BDSM. Not outside of fic, anyway. But someone asked the difference between kinky sex and Lifestyle. And the answers to this are endless. Especially if you try to use nothing but serious, technical type jargon.
Good thing we all know I'm not so great with sticking to the technical, huh?
So, let's look at this like a bowl of ice cream. ( Because, really, who doesn't like ice cream? )

Whenever someone says Jo was 'too immature'--ostensibly in general but, it is fairly easy to discern, meaning 'for Dean'--I have to laugh. By anyone's estimate, Jo Harvelle is a great deal more mature than Dean Winchester.
Let's see...wants to strike out on her own, seems perfectly capable of it. Doesn't collect venereal diseases like stamps. Behaves with maturity, is self-contained, isn't a total sleaze. Independent, quick and clever, capable...although Dean may have those qualities, too.
Just--can't you shut up now that [spoiler] has happened?.
Supernatural has been leaving me with a bad taste in my mouth for far too long. It's amazing how you run into this stuff when you no longer have the slightest amount of interest in the canon and never had an interest in the fanon.

I have been watching Rome.
Surprise! I am fond of it. It is, in some ways, all about the menz, but the female characters are fabulous, despite the fact that their lives seem to revolve around the male characters--I think that's not unreasonable for the time period. There was--GODDAMNIT--what I would definitely classify as a fridging, but I'm hanging on for the other women. I don't actually know that there are any male characters besides season 1 Octavian where I'm actually interested in finding out what happens to them, never mind liking them. The fandom corners I've dipped my toes in are full of raging misogyny--how dare she be angry with the man that caused her mother's death! How dare she try to move on and pursue a life of her own after her husband's death! Bitch, slut, whore, etc--as to be expected, I suppose. But I love the way the show never makes me feel as though I'm intended to blame Niobe for her choices, or Eirene or Vorena for their anger. And while male characters are shown as sympathetic after doing terrible things, female characters are too. Which is really cool.
The sets are pretty fantastic, and I'm told that it goes to great lengths for historical accuracy. I think they do a really good job of making the characters' certain outdated views understandably their own without supporting it textually, which far too many shows/movies fall into doing.
My favorite characters are Eirene and Octavia, but even the female characters I find reprehensible are fascinating. The male characters are well written as well, but a lot of the qualities I'm intended to find interesting and sympathetic fall flat.

Another batch of shinies. Apparently icon making is a great way to procrastinate.

1. Only sesame seed bagels left, and no cream cheese. My life, ladies and gentlemen.
2. Ate a bowl of Oreos for breakfast.
3. There’s a coffee ring stain on my X-men. I know I accidentally burned down Dad’s office, but a man’s comics are sacred.
4. Ryan kissed me to shut me up. Twice. (!!!)
5. Did a Samuel L. Jackson impression under my breath. Was sharing my bucket of popcorn, extra butter, with Ryan, when our shoulders bumped together. It was nice; not Summer-in-a-Wonder-Woman-outfit nice, but getting there.
6. Make out Share kisses with Ryan at the poolhouse.
Remix of ![[info - livejournal.com]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) theswearingkind's Sam Jackson Ain't Got Nothing on These Two (f-locked) for remixthedrabble. I haven't actually watched the episode on which #3 is based. One day I'll probably finish watching the O.C. Maybe. If only for more of Seth Cohen's wordvomit. [ LJ | IJ | DW ]

"If" Black Women Were White Women"
Written, apparently, in the style of 'What if Men Could Menstruate' by Gloria Steinem. To quote ![[info]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) fiction_theory: There is some discussion of sexual assault in the essay - but I feel it is worth it.

I'm watching an Emily Browning image community that keeps tagging entries with heaps of tags about Twilight and how she's Bella Swan, Edward is the only one for her, etc, etc.
I...actually find it really obnoxious. I'm not sure if this is obnoxious of me, in turn? I ended up commenting today. They basically replied with 'shut up, we're going to make up whatever tags we want.'
It's funny how feeling snooty can salve your worries about your own obnoxiousness. **shifty eyed**

So, NaNo. Going well lately. I had a lousy week and had serious trouble making my word count on Thursday, leading to my taking it out on Guybrush on Friday and therefore finishing the first part of TSE. Glee! (Guybrush, on the other hand, is most likely plotting my untimely demise. The poor boy.)
Though, technically it's not quite finished, as there's a number of missing/cut scenes. Last year, with the Ferret, I wrote every scene as it came along, but then, because the story was longer than 50K, I never actually got around to finishing it. I'm hoping I'll have better luck completing the story this year by just going back and writing in missing scenes after NaNo's done.
So, now in the Google Docs folder, we have the mostly finished copy of The Second Element I, the start of The Second Element II, and a list of some of the scenes missing from TSE I. (Since some of them are...erm, rather important to the plot. Oops?)
Also, my NaNo backlog is down to around 1,800 or so words, so I'm catching up...in between bouts of playing Left 4 Dead 2. Which has so far, while being fun, not managed to derail NaNo. There was, however, a palpable sigh of relief around here when Telltale announced the last episode of Tales was delayed until Dec. 8th. As sad as I am that it's been delayed...I don't think NaNo could have withstood the simultaneous distractions of work, L4D2, and ToMI. That would have just ended in tears.
33195 / 50000 words. 66% done!

IT'S LIKE A FREAKING TRAIN WRECK. I can't stop opening these posts about Glee. How can people defend this show? Oh wait--ignorance, all the sundry ugly -isms, privilege...
haddayr: For the record:
1. When an old folks home has a tag sale, they do NOT have a dozen state-of-the-art rigid lightweight wheelchairs in funky colors to get rid of for nothing. The hardware they had in there, even massively used, would have paid for dozens upon dozens upon quadrillions of bus rides. Old people get piece-of-shit rundown folding chairs that are nearly impossible to push on your own.
2. When your sister has Downs? You don't hold her hand as you read her stories in precious, pwecious tears at her pathetic wretched handicapableness. You've known she had Downs your whole life. You're over feeling sorry for her, assuming you ever did, since you're her LITTLE SISTER.
3. When you are in a wheelchair and you find out that your love interest has been FAKING HER STUTTER? You are not angry because she's now "normal" and you are "stuck in this chair for the rest of your life." You are angry because she's been playing at what you actually experience. You are angry because half of the world treats you already as if you're faking it, and she really WAS faking it.
4. Noble and adorable cripples do not clasp their hands and give an "aw, shucks" look when their AB comrades in wheelchairs say: "This is for YOU," and point at them cheesily.
5. Schools that are not fully wheelchair accessible are BREAKING THE LAW. You do not have to give up your bus to pay for handicapped ramps. People do not have to write their own checks. Ramps are not provided out of the goodness of people's hearts. IT. IS. THE. MOTHERFUCKING. LAW.
6. And no one is worried about getting sued if they don't hire disabled people. Disablism in hiring practices is rampant and accepted. Threatening someone with the ACLU is a way to get yourself laughed out of the place, not immediately hired in a horrible economic climate. This show actually had someone pretend to be disabled to get a job. The sheer breathtaking offensiveness of it is a marvel. Also? For any idiot who wants to whine 'it's just a High School Musical soap opera TV show, you're taking it too seriously' I'd like to quote balgarIt's quite odd to assume that certain cultural products are beneath analysis. Operas, symphonies, novels in the "literature" section, and subtitled movies more than two hours long do not convey more information or perspective than thirty second commercials, top 40 singles, network television shows, or comic books. I'd say that mass-marketed, "low culture" works are less idiosyncratic in their perspective and are therefore more useful in terms of understanding the society of which they are a product. So how about all the morons who thought writing about the ~poor hopeless needy~ disabled person without a life was a good idea watch this gorgeous piece of work?

…and I'm a submissive. As in, a contracted and collared sub to my husband, Matt. D/s, BDSM, leather, lifestyle, call it what you will. It is what it is.
Originally, I intended to post something like an introduction because, as my fandoms branch out, there are new people on my flist. And I tend to be loud and opinionated when it comes to head exploding kink fics. Figured offering some insight to me might help explain the tangent rants I sometimes have. Along with the fact that most, if not all, of my fics have some display of power dynamics, no matter how subtle.
I'm sure those of you who know me best find that to be an understatement. Heh.
This has morphed, through conversations with friends, into not only a hey, this is me post, but also one that, for lack of tact on my part, is a whoa! let's think about this before you write it post. Mainly because BDSM comes under enough fire without having misleading works of fiction floating around out there stirring up more trouble than they're worth.
And, honestly, not trying to be a bitch, but if a piece of fiction disregards the basic principles of safe, sane, and consensual they really are more trouble than they're worth. They set a stage for others, those not in the scene, that can lead to misunderstandings, arguments, and, most important, serious injury.
Not cool.
Not when it takes just a few lines of dialogue, or even implied conversation to lend believability and credibility to the work.
To that end, I've started a list. ( Which is actually quite funny seeing as I despise lists. )
Got questions? Ask 'em. I'd rather you ask me something embarrassing than you make my head go splodey in the next fic I run across.
* * *Whoa! Additional Lifestyle discussions taking place... ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) irana is talking about consent, SSC, and RACK. You can read that post here.snapesgirl_62 is talking about polyamory. You can read that post here.
