LOL, my life.
Nov. 8th, 2009 06:47 pmI have this unicorn.
You see, when I started watching Friday Night Lights with my mom, she offhandedly mentioned how much she loved Kyle Chandler in some show about the forties she and Dad used to watch. My response was something like, "oh, Early Edition? I don't think that was about the forties, Mom", and then, idk, I guess we had to cry about whatever was happening in the episode so we dropped it. Still, the only TV shows I remember my parents ever watching when I was young are Seinfeld, Star Trek: the Next Generation, and that one show about Alaska whose name is escaping me at the moment, and those were all followed pretty spottily because we as a family were above serial fiction and the way it suspends consumers for profit (my Dad was in his full-on, twenty-something, pretentious douchey "hippie" phase), and so, eventually, I looked into it.
YOU GUYS, THIS IS AN ACTUAL SHOW:
I guess perhaps not everyone has grown up as enamored with the 1940s as I have, so maybe you don't quite understand that this silly little theme song has my inner obsessor full-on salivating (although this is perhaps also simply because it is a theme song: I LOVE DORKY THEME SONGS, you guys, and they are so unfortunately untrendy these days). ALL THE FAMILIAR FACES ARE SIMPLY ICING ON THE CAKE. There's also this... clip thing, which is so enjoyable it makes the whole thing worse.
Worse because in the age of amazon, netflix, youtube, hulu, and various other methods of procuring any television episode you want IT DOES NOT EXIST. It has disappeared into the abyss, spawning only this plea to Warner brothers to release a DVD set (IT ALSO HAS DELIGHTFUL CLIPS, THOUGH, YOU GUYS: COACH TAYLOR IS DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH AN ADORABLE GIRL! LILY VAN DER WOODSEN IS A BADASS) and a handful of disgruntled internet users, fussing about cancellation and how much money they would spend if such a DVD set did exist. Unfortunately I am now one of these fools. DAMN IT, just the teensy bit I have seen has me deeply in the throes of love. BUT I WILL SEE IT SOMEHOW. I WILL FIND THE DAMN UNICORN.
Ugh, I do not know what to request for Yuletide with Psych eliminated this year. BLERG.

yuletide letter
Nov. 11th, 2008 06:49 pmDear Yuletide writer,
As if I wasn't already rambly enough in my prompts! BUT HEY, thank you in advance! This is my first year doing and not just reading yuletide and I'm excited. And I really hope you weren't disappointed when you got your assignment email. Writing ought to be as nice for you as reading will for me. And this is an obvious disclaimer, but you are not responsible for any or all of the details I have here. I will be happy anyway! I don't mean to be demanding!
I will not be at all upset if you do not want to write porn. (But I would also not be at all upset if you really do want to write porn.) I really like character-driven fic, especially when it's a nice mesh of humor and melancholy and not too far from the tone of the canon. I like pretty prose. I do not like schmoopy romance stories (which isn't to say I don't like romance! I do! I like it a lot! It's just that I'm really not into those stories that are about nothing but how perfect two characters are for each other), I like gen, I like angst (but not for no reason), and I love UST. I love banter and I love good dialogue. I am not that into dudeslash unless it's heavily implied in canon, but ladyslash is always nice. I like roadtrips and intoxication and incidental co-dependency. I like friendship. I like hopeful endings. And I'm pretty vanilla, I'm not that into anything like incest or rapefic or obvious character bashing.
( fandom-specific details )
ANYWAY THANKS A MILLION. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
ETA: Um, so, after reading this post I unlocked my (miniscule) fic recs tag for you. NOT TO PRESUME YOU'RE STALKING ME CONSISTENTLY, but, you know. IF YOU WOULD LIKE.
