I'm from 29 miles north of Manhattan, my mom's from Connecticut and my dad's from da Bronx. I think this all shakes down fairly reasonably.

Also, if you haven't, and if it's not too late, go grab a kink_bingo card. Write your own fics or assign them to your friends and lovers! I'm working on an S&A five part thing, with, if I'm lucky, a Torchwood five-part thing to follow.

...damn you, likethesun2.

Hey, can I have some fic recs? First off, NCIS, anything with Ziva? Also any good S&A fic you think I haven't read? But mostly NCIS. Gibbs/DiNozzo is always also good, any anything with Abby, and any femslash. And Ziva!

I'm rerecording the second half of "the hours between dawn and nothing" and plan to give my face a break from podficking once I'm done for the night. And want to read ZIVA in my break time.

...and repentance have delaaaaaayed, we beseech thee! Fucking hear us, dude.

Okay, so since today is podfic day, if YOU have anything you want me to record, just toss me a link and I am all over it. Let's say nothing more than like 5000 words, in Doctor Who, SGA, NCIS, Torchwood, Bones, House, Slings & Arrows, and, you know, try me.

I mean, feel free to suggest some of your favorite stories by other folk (esp if you've secured permission), but mostly just go ahead and pimp yourself -- throw me a link and I'll like it!

I like doing Ziva best, I have learned, but my Jenny and Gibbs are also surprisingly not bad! I do a pretty good Radar and Margaret, and my Tenth Doctor, I swear, is getting better. I can't do Welsh, but can do Canadian, American South, NY, etc. Stories with people with distinctive voices particularly welcomed! I have completely lost the ability to do the Sorkin voices, but I'm practicing and will probably get it back. I used to do a mean Josh and Leo.

Let me podfic you!

They'll make a Broadway musical about us. Fans!

Hey, so, that Doctor Who show, huh? Yeah.

1. Is there any way to browse only comments I've left in other journals and comms? Which is to say, I want to find a particular thing from about two years ago that got posted to an LJ comm; I know I commented on the entry so it would be much easier for me to browse my comments than to browse the entire LJ... yes? No?

2. If I use certain tags only on private/flocked posts, will those TAGS be visible in my tag cloud to people not on the filters that see the posts with those tags?

Thank you, and have a pleasant afternoon.

I started this list a while back, but I know I'm missing some big ones (in fact, someone on my flist pointed out a good one a couple days ago; was it you?). But here are some things TV really likes to teach us, over and over, and it's time for us to let TV know we got it now. For example.

Fugu. Stop explaining it to us; we know how it works now.
We can identify both a caduceus and an ouroboros.
We've got a handle on the gum disease known as gingivitis.

There are adjuncts to "things TV can stop teaching us" which is "things TV can stop doing," like:

The obvious hospital show rule: It's not lupus. (It is, however, acute intermittent porphyria, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, or Wilson's Disease...)
It's time to stop naming your heroes Jack.
The pedophile did it.

And more? I'm missing an important one off the first list (projectjulie, what was it???) and there's obviously a bunch more for the second list. Spit 'em!

Elsewhere it's 101 degrees and after schlepping around in my car all afternoon I am now in my air-conditioned bedroom to respond to e-mails and eventually watch a Hamlet or two.

This spring TV season is really spoiling me with all my favorite shows managing to be on the air at the same time -- thank you, strike. This year I'm watching HIMYM, Bones, NCIS, BSG and Doctor Who, with the occasional Office, and frequently 30 Rock and Scrubs. I also just mainlined the first half of S4 of Top Chef (yay!).

And it's springtime, with promises of a pretty decent summer season too. The upfronts don't look particularly enthralling for next year (Life on Mars: US!, um, WTF, you make Viva Laughlin look like a good remake) -- with the exception of the return of The Electric Company -- but then, I can't think about anything beyond the first week in August right now.

I was also going to say something about HBO's "Recount," which is on... next week? But now I fear it'll actually get me into a political argument about this year's election and I am so not feeling that right now.

( spoilers for Doctor Who, Bones, HIMYM, Top Chef )

ALSO. Thank you to everyone who went to the trouble of reading and commenting on my Doctor/Master fic. I am feeling much less whiny and in fact full of real glee that people actually read this complicated, difficult story. I know it's not the sort of thing that can be easily responded to with an "awesome!" as it's NOT, necessarily, but it's definitely something, and you people have helped me figure that out and come to terms with it, and with my niche in fandom, etc. So anyway, here it is with all its flaws. It's not really slash, not really kinky, no sex, some emo power play, and first-person-Doctorpov with Simm!Master in that missing TSoD year. Very niche, very skippable for most. And the truth is there's lots of stuff, in this and other fandoms, that I skip too, all the time.

(the first four months)

Oh, and join ficfinishing if you've got that fic you're stalled out on or need a swift kick in the pants or need someone to tell you how this story you started is supposed to end.

I figure, use as many things as inspiration as you can; it takes a village to make porn, people!

First off: _abulafia, where did you go???

But mostly, and seriously, has anyone seen qowf?
