There's been an uptick in bandom activity lately - more fic being posted, more Twitter/pic squee, with corresponding blog posts/music releases - but I appear to have drifted out of primary fannishness without noticing. I'll read flist fic and recs, but I don't go out looking for stories anymore. I dunno, new albums might spin me back into the fervent heights of fannishness, but the first blush is gone.

It lasted a good year and a half, though! Starting when Lindsey showed me the video for But It's Better If You Do and tempted me into reading Forever, Now and Star Shaped back in January 2008. I've met scads of cool people, in RL (*waves to Texas crew*) and online, and how could I ever regret Gerard Way? ;)

The end of an era is always a little sad, though.

Lindsey is at a bartending job and I don't want to wash dishes, so have some links while I procrastinate and catch up on LJ:

Discussion about female masturbation: I am a big fan, both of the act and the talking about it ;)

Houston elects openly gay mayor: yay Texans!

Leverage 2.5 promo: can I just say OMG PARKER IN A MAID OUTFIT. *swoons*

Holy shit! When I was younger, I read this wonderful pair of books that was both an Arthurian legend twist and a post-apocalyptic setting (on reflection, my love for Dark Angel and Merlin make more sense). APPARENTLY THERE'S ANOTHER ONE! Dude, 20-years-later-sequels are to be respected.

AND! A movie version of another childhood favorite (with awesome explosive-guerilla-warfare and teen drama), Tomorrow, When the War Began is being released next year! As a bonus, one of the main characters is being played by Rachel Hurd-Wood, who was Wendy in Peter Pan. (

gingerwall, we are going to see this together. You cannot escape.)

... I WANT THEM. Seriously, I have all four open in tabs and I keep going 'I want them. I need them. I DON'T CARE IF ONE SAYS THEY'RE FOR 4-8 YEAR OLDS (... WTF?), I NEED THEM.' This is so, so, so terrible, because I love Arthurian legend and I love post-apocalyptic books and DO WANT.

(actually it's not that terrible, since I am getting gift certificates for Christmas. If Farscape goes up in price, I will just - get these instead. If not, I will ... probably still get them. Just in addition to the boxed set as opposed to instead.)

Also, giant mutant cockroach pets! ;) I haven't read them in ages, so caveat lector, but I do remember them fondly. Oooh, which reminds me - I should check on the status of the Obernewtyn series. I still have the first couple, I think, and surely the series is complete by now.

OMFGODDESS WHAT? TOMORROW IS HAPPENING!?!?!? *SQUEEEEEEEE*

Also *snort* good luck on the Obernewtyn being done. There was five last I checked and another book is coming out very shortly.

Wahey! New leverage! :D

INORITE?!?!? *BOUNCES LIKE TIGGER*

LOL, I knew it. Though I just checked her site, and supposedly the next is the last? So I can just read them all again, because no doubt I've forgotten everyone's names.
