meretriculabut first:
what's YOUR sexual nationality? (I scored as 84% Brazilian. I'm not really sure how.)
now, onto fandom! I'm still working my way through the interesting-looking fics from H/D World Cup. my relationship with Harry Potter fandom is complicated! I don't like very much of it (oh the trashy purple prose, it burns) and for the most part I think of HP as a phase I left behind in ninth grade. but then I see what some authors manage to get out of even the giant hole of suck that was the epilogue to Deathly Hallows, and I reconsider. of coursemistful's Coda to the Epilogue is top of this list, being as it fills me with glee and makes me giggle nonstop despite being not even remotely 'shippy. and if Drop Dead Gorgeous is ever updated I might just die of YAY. but some of these fics for HDWC are really quite good! I am an unapologetic Draco fangirl, so, you know, anything where he gets less of a short stick than in canon is good.
I have also taken an unexpected detour into the land of OMGHET with the release of the Ironman movie. I can't help it! Tony and Pepper are just too gosh-darn cute. and while I am a bit wary of het on the internets, I've found some cute fics through del.icio.us recs. alsohackthis has written some stuff.
okay, so you know that new show about an engineering nerd trying to rush a fraternity? I figured out how to make screencaps on VLC, so have a few pictures. pretty pictures!
the boy is Cappie. he's the president of Kappa Tau. he's funny.
this is Rusty. he's rushing Kappa Tau. he looks kind of phenomenally good in drag, considering the circumstances.
oh no! Rusty's older sister (Cappie's ex-girlfriend) and her tool of a boyfriend have shown up!
aww, doesn't Rusty look adorable when he's failing to make a situation less awkward?
Rusty's sister Casey and her boyfriend Evan are unimpressed, but frankly I know real women whose breasts don't look as nice as Rusty's.
I do have other reasons for liking this show - the black character who plays football and is a member of the most swanky fraternity on campus and just happens to be carrying on an affair with a member of Kappa Tau, and Casey, who is a tremendous bitch and also wonderfully human and makes me hate sorority girls just a little bit less - but come on. look at that pretty little boy in drag. don't you want to take him home and feed him cookiesand explain that he doesn't need to join a fraternity to validate his existence? I do.
while I'm here, I might as well mention - I'm trying to participate inpaliphrase, where you pick a word and then write 10, 15 or 25 responses in different fandoms. I picked "derivative" and now I'm trying to find fandoms to write in. I already did PoT and my Bleach fashion AU, and I was thinking a PoT/Eureka crossover and maybe Pushing Daisies, but I've still got a lot of prompts to fill. what fandoms would y'all like to see? if you can suggest a definition of "derivative" that you think is particularly apt for the fandom or pairing you'd like, that'd just be awesome.

Date: 2008-06-05 02:06 pm (UTC)Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself off in the land of teh classics (hurrah!), and I definitely agree with you on the Ironman front (I saw it last night; with Nathaniel, incidentally). Any fics in particular that you'd rec?
Btw, mistful *has* updated Drop Dead Gorgeous a few times in the last few months. Run, don't walk!

I know, I know, I'm being whiny... but the last couple updates have all been the other fic, which I enjoy, of course, but... DDG! I want more! ~toddler fists of rage~
