The subject is just an excuse for quoting Douglas Adams.

Today is NATIONAL GRAMMAR DAY! I declare it can be Grammar Day in Canada too, because we like those Canadians with their giant inflatable beavers and lumberjacks. Here, have a list of the Top Ten Grammar Myths! God, I love being a word geek. I knew all of those. :D I want one of the Grammar Day t-shirts. Seriously.

ALSO, this is the most amusing and adorable wedding video ever. [livejournal.com profile] zoe_chan linked me, and she made my morning. ♥ Watch it, it is short and oh-so-awesome. I dare you not to smile.

Oh, what else? Sounds like this week has just been hell for most of my f-list, and I am very sorry. :( ::HUGS:: And okay. I feel the need to say something. And that thing is that I won't be saying anything. I am not participating in discussions about the comics spoiler that has been plastered all over twitter, LJ, and the internet at large. (In conclusion: Twitter makes avoiding spoilers IMPOSSIBLE.) Feel free to do whatever you like, because we're all entitled to feel and react in our own ways, but please don't ask me my thoughts right now. Trust me, I have them, I'm just not ready to share.

Oh, and in case it was lost anywhere, I wrote a bunch of Tim/Tam, Tim/Cissie, Tim/Kon/Cissie comment fics here. 15, to be exact.

I'm also hearing about awesome AU fic ideas from [livejournal.com profile] xenokattz and [livejournal.com profile] second_batgirl. The [livejournal.com profile] au_bigbang fic Zoe and I are writing is coming along nicely, now that we've beat back writer's block, aaaaand we are VERY looking forward to [livejournal.com profile] het_idcrack claims to begin. (BTW, prompting ends Saturday, claims start Sunday! I think. Something like that! GET THOSE PROMPTS IN!)

Also, [livejournal.com profile] xenokattz, [livejournal.com profile] likeadeuce and [livejournal.com profile] second_batgirl are trying to make me read ALIAS so I can know and care about Jessica Jones. Here is what I know about Jessica Jones: she was a superhero, she quit, she's married to a superhero and they have an adorable baby. And her best friend is Marvel Girl Ms. Marvel. I am AFRAID to find out more because I think SHE MIGHT BE EXACTLY MY TYPE. And unlike Cissie, she doesn't live in comics limbo.



SO, HERE IS YOUR ASSIGNMENT, LJ: What is making you happy right now? I think we could all use the happy today. ♥

I encourage the Jessica Jones love! (Though you mean Ms. Marvel, not Marvel Girl -- though she and Jean DO have history.)

RIGHT, I totally knew that! I blame RPing with [livejournal.com profile] marvelnotagirl. ;) THOUGH IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE NAME.

Yeah, I really enjoyed Alias, and I really think you would too. The character has a good deal in common with Cissie, although she's a lot more in-your-face and kind of edgy. And her reasons for walking away were different, and more lending themselves to her coming back one day possibly. I think it would be right up your alley. (Plus, it's by Bendis, who's my favorite writer ever thanks to USM)

Somehow I totally knew you'd be helping them with this. ;)

Jessica Jones is great -- Alias takes place before she gets married and has the baby, so it's sort of about how her life was a mess before she (recently) got it together.

The story I mentioned that I wrote set during the run of Alias is In Case You Don't Know, which is a Jessica/Carol fic. It doesn't spoil anything significant, and I don't think it requires any real canon knowledge; what you said in the post is enough. And it might give you an idea if you'd be interested in her.

Solutions for Better Living is an ensemble-y piece based on recent canon and, while it has a lot more characters, I tried to set it up so that Jessica is explaining her relationship to each of them and it shouldn't be super-confusing.


ETA: And not just to promote my OWN thing, I know there is a good Jessica/Luke fic or two under 'Avengers and New Avengers' at Yuletide. I'll have to dig up the links later, though.

Weeee, THANK YOU! I will have to check those out. But I am a-okay with you promoting your own fics, because I LIKE your writing! :D

GRAMMAR NERDS UNITE!

Right now, I'm happy to be on break and also happy that I get to go back to Rose soon. Not so happy about classes resuming, but I miss being on campus. :)

ANGEL. ANGEL IS MAKING ME HAPPY. Even though Spike will always be my favorite good vampire. The show is awesome.

Wait, it keeps making me SAD. Stupid Joss Whedon. But it's good sad.

I need to work on my Big Bang fic, crap.

Adoring you makes me happy

Sara, my dear I love you. I decided to check out the comment fic comm you linked to and I am having the best time. I have just enough time during naps to bang one out, or on my lunch break @ work to take out a lonely prompt listing and scribble it out by hand to post later. It's so easy to forget in all the diapers and toddler tv and bellowing customers how much *better* writing makes life. You are my forever hero.
Love, me

ps. you are still my default icon
