Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Someone has just discovered my fics over on ff.net and is favoriting nearly everything. Bless you, little new fan.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Does anyone know troll_under_the_bridge? The writing style is Yoda meets inappropriate synonym replacement plus some other undefinable ESL or something. I don't kno what I'm reading half the time but I haven't back buttoned yet.

Example: "It was not about wishing something for himself anymore, realized he with warm contentment."

The toast has a fun article on the linguistics of fannish portmanteaus. [link]

And I'm inordinately proud that I spelled "portmanteaus" right the first time around.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

It's from The March Family Letters, link, where John Brooke is Joan Brooke.

That is quite fun! Although Meg and Jo seem off.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I nominated things! Shameful, awful things, but I nominated things this year.

Knowing one of the things you nominated this year: NOT SHAMEFUL. (Also, we need to get together so you can watch more.)

Two thirds shameful. Nominating the 2005 Fantastic Four movies on the off chance that I can get Ben/Johnny? Totes shameful.

The other nom was half for me, half for a friend, but it's also my guilty pleasure sock folding movie. So.
