I know I haven't posted much in 2014. I've been reading a lot more than I've been writing, if that's any help! To try to get back into LJ, I'm reusing this meme from astrogirl2. I am, however, apparently incapable of giving a single answer to most of the questions. ( Below a cut for length )

I was so excited about Neverwhere being made into a radio show and then about World's End (see here) that I overlooked one more credit under Martin Freeman's name, which I just noticed today:
Saving Santa, where all the credits are voice credits, so it appears to be animated. Voices include:
Martin Freeman
Tim Curry
Tom Baker as Santa!
Noel Clarke
Chris Barrie

So I told Brilliant Husband, as a reminder to myself and not because he needed to know, my rule that if I see a word I don't recognize in a fic warning, I do not try to find the meaning of that word. Yes, guess how I came up with this rule? (Do not guess how long it took me to come up with the rule and stick to it, because the answer is "embarrassingly long.")

I know lunachickk has this great icon that says "What has been seen cannot be unseen" with a picture of a horrified-looking cat. I want one with that motto that has John Watson on it just after he has looked in the fridge. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. (If you haven't, I probably haven't spoiled you, have I?)

Shortly thereafter, Brilliant Husband was musing about "half-againing" a recipe.
I was aghast. "That's not a verb!"
"Sesquifocating?"
I made a rude noise. "That sounds obscene."

Of course, a moment later, it came to me. I have noticed that slash fics often seem to get more comments than gen fics (or at least more than my gen fics do).
"I know!" I said. "I'll put 'sesquifocating' in the warnings for my next story! That will drive up my readership!"
BH thought this was a pretty good idea.
"But I'll get complaints when they don't find it," I added.
"Oh, that's easy. Then you just say, 'Oh, you missed it? It was in the kitchen scene!' and they say, 'Oh, right! Yeah, loved that scene!'"

"The Twilight copyright saga: Forbidden love and forbidden T-shirts" at The Washington Post: the production company for the Twilight movies is sending out C&D orders and threats to sue right and left. Stephanie Meyer, the author, is apparently far more open to fan remixes in various media. Way to make your fans feel the love, Summit Entertainment.
