Dearest yuletide Santa:

I'm sure there are lots of things I could say I want in my story -- humor, crack, more humor, slash, sarcasm, gen, humor, crack, slash -- but the fact of the matter is that I'm pretty easy to please. I write lots of things, and I enjoy even more. The best thing you could do is to write me a story that *you* enjoyed writing, because those are the sorts of stories that always seem to turn out the best. I don't want you to feel like OMG how will I ever do this? It should be a fun experience, so, if you like it, chances are I will too.

Regards,
hackthis

p.s. Should you be considering the Grey's Anatomy option, can I just mention that I love EVERYBODY on that show (especially Bailey) and het is totally great and loved and fine.


This weekend, I finally had a chance to see all of Season 1 of Battlestar Galactica, which for various reasons had continued to elude me for quite some time, and now, I must confess OH MY GOD, JAMIE BAMBER IS THE HOTTEST THING EVAR!! SGA what?

I mean, I've suspected for quite some time that Lee Adama could put Hamlet to shame with the tortured bit, but just, you know, wow.* I had not planned to spend my weekend in collusion with the sofa and the zoom feature on the DVD player**, but that was so the best way to go. And also, can Helo please come and save me now? He's the sort of guy you slash your own tyres for. And Tyrol. Loving Tyrol. And I get the Leoben/Kara now. Oh, please to be reading some of that. Also, Kara once again shows herself to be the girl everyone else aspires to be with the kicking ass and taking names. I hate the President, but I love Commander Adama, so it all balances out.

The only person I heart more than Jamie Bamber is serialkarma who a) sent me said DVDs b) responded to, like, 40% of my ranting text messages and c) then let me babble in her ear for an hour about said Mr Bamber, pretty much without breathing, for much of yesterday afternoon. That's love.


Dear Jamie Bamber,

You are so frakking hot, the baby hackthis wept. Why did the Cylons not clone you? I would bleed myself dry for you.

XXXXXX,
Me


*I lurrrve Hamlet, yo.

**I didn't even know it existed until serialkarma told me so.

*** OMGPLZ people on my flist to be making me a Lee icon that says Oh Captain, My Captain.

Because I'll never hear the end of it if I don't post this...

Dear FL,

I’m making a documentary about fandom. Would you be willing to be in it? Do you plan to attend any conventions in the next year where I could talk to you? Would you be willing to have your fic/fanart/meta/face in the film?

Do you have any suggestions of what would be interesting/necessary topics in a documentary about on-line fandom? Do you want to offer a fannish subject (such as tin-hats, wingfic, metaing about gender, or so on) that you think is a very fundamental (or unique) on-line fandom pursuit?

Would you help me by linking this in your own journal so I can get some traffic in here from fandoms I’m not in (manga, anime, obscure fandoms especially)?

Do you have any other commentary?

This is strictly voluntary, that’s why I’m not approaching people and asking. I don’t want to put anyone on the line so they feel they have to tell me no. Therefore, if you want to jump on-board, please chatter at me.

eta: Oh, frick, I will just got make the community now. Hold up...fandom_doc. Come join it. But still drop me a line if you are going to.

Wait. Jake is making a film with Ryan Gosling about young fashion designers.

And you all didn't feel like you should TELL ME THIS?!

Everyone is sacked. Pick up your P46 at the front desk.
