Fic Quest

Behind cut for semi-NSFW

Well, I’ve never actually read much Ponder fic…but I can tell you that he’s one of the most slashed characters out there. With Adrian/Drongo, mostly, through I’ve seen Ponder/HEX before, too. Where have you tried searching so far?
Semi-unrelated but awesome: Ponder has an old Angelfire fansite that may or may not...

…and I wondered something. What do you picture when you hear the lines:
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters
With looking-glass ties
Because I’ve always thought it meant the railroad ties were mirrors, but this time I suddenly realized it could also mean the porters’ neckties?
Not that it matters either way, really—this is “Lucy In...
okay, I think I’ve figured out the hair

Things I could be doing right now:
setting up my new external hard drive
researching graduate schools
packing for next term
Things I am doing right now
listening to “Rambling Rover” on repeat
sketching Stratford’s* hair from every possible angle
swearing that I will never design another character who parts their hair that far off-center ever again

I think that’s rather a cynical interpretation of the book, myself….Juliet can still be a model even if people know she’s human (Stronginthearm of “Burleigh &” is really human, too!), Trev says he’s going to learn proper football (and...

progress is being made
Mom says she’ll buy me OS X Lion, since it’d probably be a good thing to keep my computer up-to-date anyway. Gonna need to back up all my files first, so we’re also looking into external hard drives/internet backup services.
…anyone know a good program/service for backing up all the data on a relatively recent Leopard MacBook Pro?

I got Sims 3 Pets for Christmas, so I installed it all nice and careful with my mods and CC folders removed, and when I went in to test it out…crash. :( It happens every time I try to open the Create-A-Horse tab, and some preliminary internet research shows that there’s a lot of other people experiencing it, and it happense every time you see a horse in the game ever.
Does anybody...

Ask me about my headcanons
Discworld or Firefly or Doctor Who or whatever, I don’t care. If it’s something I’ve never considered and I don’t have a real answer, then I’ll make up something that’s a logical(-ish) conclusion of the headcanon I do have.
(doing this on dA too, FYI)

nobody ships your pairing

what’s that elissa?
you ship rosie/dr. lawn?
oh fuck off already
Meh, I heard the same about Susan/Ponder.
What sort of argument is ‘your ship sucks as it ain’t canonical’ anyway?
BOTH OF THOSE SHIPS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING and I would never have thought of them on my own.
Canon is great, but...

An Irrational Irritation
I cannot handle it when authors have characters wear bustles when bustles are not historically/fashionably appropriate. It happened in The Edinburgh Dead which I finished yesterday (set in 1828, but Mrs Big Bad wears one at a party anyway) and it also happens (sort of) in Snuff—all the other description, and thematic appropriateness (read: the Bennett Gordon sisters) make it sound like the...
You know what would be cool?
If iTunes had a “wishlist” function, where you could store a list of all the songs you plan on buying once you find the money to do so.
I clicked that and all I got was this lousy shirt:... →

Random thoughts on Discworld

Careful, it’s rather a bit of a rant.

I mostly liked UA, but I do see what you mean. It felt strange to have all the football-playing and its attendant culture come out of nowhere, and while I get why Pterry wanted to introduce orcs, that definitely felt a little…left-field to me. I think I’d have been okay with it if that had got a little more...
