The multitude of pairings I ship, and will probably end up writing sometime between now and eventually. This list is somewhat out of date, but will give you a decent idea of what I'm about.

Someday, I will defeat the huge backlog of messages in my inbox.

Until then, I'll be over here making a rec-list, re-reading the first four Harry Potter books, and trying to motivate myself to write more fic.

The spirit is willing, but the gray matter is feeling lazy and indecisive.

I really don't know what to say about the disaster in Japan.
It's so easy to come off as trite when you're talking about something this heartbreaking and devastating.

I'm in awe of the Japanese people for the incredible compassion they're showing towards one another. In the world we live in, the fall into cynicism about human nature comes as easily as breathing. People who have lost everything are still willing to give, to show kindness and respect to one another; it's extraordinary and beautiful.

It's time for us to step up and do what we can to help them.
So many fantastic writers are donating their time and skills to these auctions.
Please go take a look.
This community has links to many excellent charities, including Second Harvest Japan, MercyCorps, Doctors without Borders, Shelterbox, UNICEF, and the Red Cross. If none of the auctions appeal to you, maybe one of these organizations will.

There will always be people and places in the world that need our help.
We can't fix everything.

It is written in the Talmud that "whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world." That passage has been quoted almost to the point of becoming cliche, but that doesn't make its words any less true.

5, 10, 20, 50, 100 dollars isn't much in the grand scheme of things.
but it's enough to give someone food, painkillers, clothes, and water
and you can't put a price on the the hope that comes along with the knowledge that a stranger cares enough to make a difference.

I shied away from this episode for days now because of how badly I wanted it to be good.
Today, I took the plunge.

After reading other people's reactions, I'm a little squirmy about posting this.
I don't want to join the chorus of unhappy voices about season six, but my opinions are what they are.
and this time, they've landed me in the minority


( this wasn't the world-rocker I was expecting )

Overall reaction: What the hell?
In the right hands, meta-snark is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
This, though, felt messy and undirected.
I don't have a problem with the beginning or the end. It's that stuff in the middle that bugged me.

I'm left with the same impression as pretty much the entire rest of this season - a lot of potential gone unfortunately awry.
I was still pretty well on-board until 6.10. The last few episodes, though... *headdesk*
(with the exception of 6.13, which I really liked)

This piece of pretty brought to you by temporalranger, who is amazing in ways that should probably be declared illegal for the good of mankind.
I've had it for a couple months now, but I forgot to post it because I have a memory like a leaky sieve.
Robert Frost poem included for context, and because it's one of my favorites




some say the world will end in fire
some say in ice
from what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire

but if it had to perish twice
I think I know enough of hate
to say that for destruction ice
is also great, and would suffice
