What Have I Been Up To? Nothing Good.

So...it's been a while. (As usual, you say?)

Lately I've been shifting a lot of my fannish attention away from my flist and towards gchat and my delicious network/subscriptions. (And while there's a whole bunch of meta to be written about the way in which delicious creates the possibility for finding fic without ever interacting with another person or community at all, and how tagging fic is becoming an automated way of reccing fic, and how this will change what Fandom as a Community will look like going forward, I am not the person to write it.)

Also, this is the first time in a while I've kind of been without a large fandom to be invested in, and I guess I feel more scattered than usual. Anyway, long story short: apologies for the continued MIA-ness. I have been reading fic and whatnot, random things- AS YOU WILL SEE BELOW- and I've been doing some delicious tagging if you're bored and want to check it out. It's here, mostly fan stuff and baking recipes.


ANYWAY. POINT OF THIS ENTRY. BAD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN I GET BORED AND RESTLESS. I HAVE BEEN READING ONLY TERRIBLE RANDOM ASS THINGS. SO. WITHOUT FURTHR ADO:

Four FIVE Terrible Random Ass Things Mere Read On the Internet Yesterday (And Totally Liked FML)

1. Avatar: the Last Airbender porn- Dude, I said random. So I have only a vaaague idea about what this show is about- there's elemental magic and maybe freedom fighting and fire is bad and Hollywood is fucking racist and making the movie with a bunch of white people?- and I know even less about who anyone is. But dude, this fic was hot. And the set up and resolution of this story (angsty sex of feelings and betrayal and feelings!) goes whackamole on all of my buttons. The sad part is that this is may be the least embarrassing thing on this list.

2. That Sam/Dean/Lindsay Lohan fic called "Firecrotch"- Yeah, mull it. What is says on the tin.

AND PROOF THAT THERE ARE GENES FOR SHAME:

merelyn: Also, today is a terrible day. I have already read Avatar the Last Air Bender fic, and I currently have a Sam/Dean/Lindsay Lohan fic open in a tab that I CANNOT LOOK AWAY FROM IT IS LIKE A CAR CRASH OF SLUTTINESS AND INCEST AND RPF FML.
circa_eve: Haha
I think I've read that one.
merelyn: HAHA
circa_eve: It is pretty amazing
merelyn: <3

3. The MOST AMAZING piece of House/Wilson art I have EVER SEEN- Okay so maybe I've never looked at any other House fanart before, but it still stands. Backstory is that this artist got a weirdly worded prompt for a exchange challenge. And apparently a wombat is some sort of euphemism for sex or something, IDK? (Really, Fandom?) I'd never heard of it before, and apparently neither had the artist, because LIKE A CHAMP S/HE RENDERED IT FAITHFULLY AS WRITTEN. I laughed so hard I cried, guys.

4. A J2/Little Mermaid fusion fic called "What's a Fire, and Why Does it Burn?"- This one I stumbled upon mostly for the benefit of twentysomething, whose ultimate dream in life is probably to be in a situation where she can legitimately yell, "BUT DADDY, I LOVE HIM!" And yet I stayed and read the whole thing. And I...I have no idea anymore if this story is even bad or good, guys. I DON'T EVEN CARE. But I will say that it does some interesting things narratively by putting the story in the Prince's POV instead of the Mermaid ("MerMAN, Dad. MerMAN.") because of course everyone has seen the Little Mermaid, right? There's a lot of delicious dramatic irony with Jensen trying to figure out what the deal is with the mute hottie in his castle while the audience of course already knows why Jared the Erstwhile MerMAN picked up his dinglehopper fork that way at the dinner table. (OMG I JUST WROTE THAT SENTENCE. LOOK AT IT. TERRIBLE. FANDOM YOU'RE RUINING MY LIFE.)

ETA THANKS TO leupagus WHO IS A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING:
