In unrelated, fandom news:



There's comment fic going on here, or you can sign up for longer fic here.

And I signed up for Transformers, of all things. Because I already had a Sari-related idea I wanted to write, yes, but mostly because the TF attitude to female characters bothers me a lot. THERE ARE CANON FEMALE CHARACTERS. You don't have to like them, you don't have to write about them, but stop it with the "they're really all genderless so they're not really girls" thing when THERE ARE CANON FEMALE CHARACTERS. I don't care if it's "unrealistic" for robots to have gender, it a canon about giant transforming space robots. And that's what you focus on? Really?

... sooo I thought I'd be productive and channel my ranting impulse into fic. =D

ETA to avoid spam: New layout! =D Yes, those are lyrics from A Whole New World, shut up. It fits.

Trade you hemispheres? And I know I haven't commented in ages, but hi! I'm - eeek, a third of the way through TFA, but I'm sure you'll write something brilliant - I signed up for a Toy Story fic about a thoery of mine about Jessie and Emily and Andy's mom that got Jossed by the third film, so it should be fun to get back into fic writing before the semester starts!

Oooh, you're watching TFA? Awesome!

I really, really, really need to watch Toy Story 3.

Somewhat longish story but I was on The Wake for a while which had a ton of TFA characters (and a wonderful Sari, BTW), so I used the cover of my then three-year-old nephew to start watching the episodes, which are absolutely wonderful. J's favorite is Bumblebee, surprise surprise, and mine is Prowl - so we adore the episode with the barnacle monster! The writing is just wonderful and makes me despise Michael Bay all the more!

And yes, you do! And bring tissues when you do. :)

Oooh, I read The Wake sometimes! I've followed characters from dear_mun, I think. And, awww, Prowl. He's my favourite. ♥

With some luck I might go watch it tomorrow. =D
