S. Hello fandom! *waves enthusiastically*
P. Whoever recced my fic 5 Ways NFA Probably Didn't End at BBF has my thanks. So, thanks.
A. Go read a2zmom's fic, Faithless. It's B/A/(F), or possibly B=F/A, or possibly A+F=-B, the sum of which equals hot.
N. entrenous88 is writing Buffy/Connor; it's like she read my mind, ripped all the pages out, made them into tiny sea-worthy boats, said, "I can do better!" and did, right here.
D. crazydiamondsue has more Xander shaped love, which you should all go read, because Xander is an unsung hero, except for all the times we get up and sing about him at the top of our lungs with bawdy lyrics and possibly spit on the audience, which should really be attempted more often.
E. viciouswishes is asking about dating fanfic on archives, because internet dating is really all the rage now, and spiralleds is asking about writing longer fics because once, two guys were pissing off the side of Golden Gate Bridge, comparing, you know, as guys are wont to do, until one of them remarked, "boy, is this water cold!" And the other had to throw in, "and deep!" because length matters.
X. What was I going to say again? Oh, if your names is Ares, l_aurens or imnotacommittee I owe you emails, and will stare at the sendy button blankly for possibly weeks until I get back to you. But strike back at you I will. They call me Empire at the office. They also call me exceedingly cheesy. Plus, there is no office.
!.
Because I got tagged by l_aurens Woohoo!!!

Guilt	What is yours?	Explain yourself
Culinary:	The grease some pizza comes with.	It's pure grease!
Literary:	Romance novels	I started reading them because I was going to write pot boilers. Now I kind of like them and hate myself.
Audiovisual:	13 Going On 30	What a lame, dumb chickflick. I love it so much.
Musical:	Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangster	Er...I don't feel comfortable with the lyrics?
Celebrity:	Russel Crowe	He's such a bastard in RL, apparently, but it actually doesn't usually make me feel too ashamed.

Now I tag:-

No one, because I am lazy.

FIN
(Like Riley, or possibly Flipper)

Oh, god. 13 Going On 30. I love that movie so much. So cute and funny and Jennifer Garner just goes for it all, no holding back, THRILLER BABY THRILLER. But I also love it in this wierdly fannish AU way, like, I look at it as an long AU Alias episode and JG is so good at being this wholly different person in mind and body and soul. Xander shading darker into a Hyena, Angel curling his mouth in a different way to become Angelus, Willow striking a match and holding it up against the relaxed evil of her gaze. I love, love, love that stuff. People transforming into someone else in front of my eyes. The anti-Sydney. YES.

Russell Crowe, passing a pack a cigarettes along the table: Care for a coffin nail, love?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. God bless.

There was a time when I was going to write 13 Going On 30 fanfic. Even jotted down notes for a scene. And I have written ALIAS fanfic, so I smell cross-something, and not hot-cross-buns, honey. Wouldn't it be cool to do a kid-Syd in her 30 yr old body, still thinking her mommy is dead and her daddy works for the airport? Or even just Syd meets anti-Syd in some bizarro land where Willow and Xander are still together. Or possibly, Syd lives in a pink dream house while Jenna Rink turns super spy. OMG, the possibilities. If I didn't already have a bizarre hankering for "24"/ALIAS cross-overs I'd think I was nuts.

Anyway, what? Oh yeah, transformation. I once saw this Shakespearean company do "Macbeth" with a total of five people--it was so fucking fantabulous how good these actors were, how they could make themselves into each character with such a subtle shift. This one chick didn't even shift, she just--her eyes looked different, and everything was different, and it was like she hadn't moved, but you could tell she was a different character and you could tell which character she was. Omg, so cool; you'd've loved it.

Yes, yes I would have. Except that I'll never be able to see it. I will die knowing that I've missed something great. Thanks.

THAT WOULD BE THE COOLEST! I also love the idea of Sydney and Jenna trading places. God, I love Jennifer Garner when she plays baffled. And Jenna's already proven to be quick on her feet. Kind of. Just the thought of her waking up in some dank, subterranean jail makes me squee with glee. Weiss is there, too, (I only saw the first couple of seasons of Alias), his dress-shirt gone greyish-yellow under his arms and along his collar, his hair flat against his head in the humidity. He'd look at Jenna, brows knitting together.

"Are you - " he'd say.

Jenna'd put her hand out, palm facing him, and then she'd stick her face between her knees, the sound of her hyperventilating echoing against the concrete walls. She'd straighten up, so suddenly that Weiss would flinch.

"I have to pee," she'd say.

When Weiss points to the corner of the room where there's a small bucket for that sort of thing, her face would blanche but she'd stand up gingerly, shoulder back, hands smoothing out her trousers. She'd tiptoe over to the bucket and peer into it, body at a diagonal, like she was looking over a steep ledge.

"Um," fingertips against her mouth. "Somebody's bleeding."

Weiss would tip his head back, still prone on the ground, wrists held together, bruises along one side of his face. "Looks like it, yeah."

I just read Running With Scissors, so poo is kind of on my mind. Sorry.

Yeah, actually, you're life is pretty much just pointless now. Sucks to be you!!!

Great, now you're going to make me work for it. Let's see...found the company, it's called "Actors From The London Stage", and they tour the USA. This spring they're doing Merchant of Venice, and the schedule is here. Since they perform at universities, the admittance cost is low; at mine it was only $5 for students and $7 for non students. But if they're not playing anywhere near you, it's kind of a bummer. The Macbeth I saw was worth several hours drive, but the Othello I saw done by them was not. They always do the only five actors thing, with very minimal props/set, but I guess it depends on who the actors happen to be and how they choose to interpret.

There, that's all I can offer you, but at least I feel better about making your life miserable ;o)

I only ever saw the first 3 season of ALIAS. The 3rd season was so much suck I could stand it no longer. Oh, JJ Abrams.

I love Weiss. How cool is it that he's there when Jenna wakes up.

She'd tiptoe over to the bucket and peer into it, body at a diagonal, like she was looking over a steep ledge.

"Looks like it, yeah."

Oh, good good stuff.

You better be sorry! Guess I need to read that one.
