Miscellanea

1) I have watched eight movies this week (one of which I've seen before), plus about 3 hours of short films from 1895-1906ish. I feel like my eyes are going to turn into movie reels if this keeps up. Once my Silent Cinema class hits feature films, I will be watching a MINIMUM of 7 movies a week. Yeaargh.

2) I found an old meme from my old computer (I've been going through my files and ruthlessly organizing them. I'm starting to feel a little OCD.), and wanted to post it. I'm particularly amused by the last item, which was clearly written before winter break:

The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it:
Veronica Mars, Dark Angel

The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets:
Justice League

The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized ze really was fucking crazy:
Alias

The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to fuck again although you're relieved ze doesn't actually live in town:
The OC

The steady: bandom

The one you repeatedly cheat on your steady with: SGA

The one you find yourself too tongue-tied to do anything but stare at adoringly, clinging to hir every word: Burn Notice

The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with: Iron Man

The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't:
Bones, NCIS

The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool peep except it's never really gone anywhere:
Pushing Daisies

The one you slept with on the rebound who still smiles at you, yet you have no interest in any more:
Man From Uncle, Naruto

The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at hir and thinking, "Hir? How the hell did ze land all these cool babes?":
Torchwood

The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom ze keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for hir except you just know it's going to end badly:
Merlin


AHAHAHAHA yeah. Oh, self, don't you know not to tempt fate by mocking other fandoms?


3) My brain keeps composing parts of a Criminal Minds 5 things fic while I'm not paying attention. The thing is, there must be plenty of fics out there that posit alternate fates for the BAU team, right? It's an on-going subtext on the show that our profilers are only separated from the unsubs by a thin line of circumstance and choice, yet I haven't *seen* any around. Have any of ya'll spotted them? Am I just looking in the wrong places?

I haven't see any like that, but I also haven't really looked. But I would love to read stories along those lines! There's so much that could go into it. Especially when you think about how one person on the team - Elle - did cross that line, and they all know it and never talk about it.

Yeah, it's totally eating my brain. I've got four ideas so far, but only a few bits written out.

By any chance, would you be interested in betaing when I have something done?

Sure! When you get something written, I'd love to see it.
