Hey everyone! I am so excited about this comic I've been doing lately and I wanted to share. It's set in post-apocalyptic NYC in the year 2003 and is called Angel. It's inspired by 70s and 80s action movies/comics. I was inspired by the feeling of being a kid and seeing these movies that are like "In the year 2010 when humanity has been decimated by...." and you're all "wow! 2010 is so far away!" But, you know, it's not. So it's like 75% tribute, 25% poking fun of these various tropes. It's totally meant to be ridiculous, know it's ridiculous, and still be ok with being ridiculous.

Anyway. So far, it's been a page a day, M-F on my website. I'm past page 50 now, so enough to give you a feeling and good run-in for the story if you start from the beginning. It'll keep being updated M-F until it's finished (I'm guessing 150+ pages total).

1. Pen Name- Elmo
2. Fandom- Bones
3. Rating of the story- Mostly PG, but a few pieces will be M
4. Spoilers/Time Line- There's going to be a piece for most episodes, so the time line goes along with the series, there will definitely be spoilers for new episodes but I can wait until you've seen the eps for you to beta those pieces
5. Pairing- Undertones of Booth/Brennan, they won't become a couple in the fics unless they do in the show
6. Beta Type- All around. Grammar, character, flow.
7. Harshness- Be as harsh as you need to.

I'm really pissed off that The Princess And The Frog is being released in the USA next week, yet in the UK we have to wait until bloody February. I'm sorry, I cannot wait that long; I will be downloading or streaming it well before then. Sorry, corporations ... if you don't like piracy, then don't withhold media from the anoraks for several months for no obvious reason, it is going to happen. DX I love The Pirate Bay~!

Anyway. ( A meme. )

I often make fun of Edward Cullen from Twilight because you have a dude who's waaaaaaaaaay old, still hanging around high school. What other reason is there for this other than scoring dates with girls a century younger than him?

But then I remembered the 900-year age difference between Fiona and Lia, and I feel like, okay, I'll let that one go.

For a while, I had a capture of my twitter feed running here. It ended up doing something weird to my API calls, stopping me from running my desktop client, so I killed it. Which is probably just as well, as I talk a lot of shit on Twitter. It’s basically mental slurry, the wet lumpy bits from a day spent at the keyboard vented off into a trap so the buildup doesn’t blow some crucial valve in my head. Look at these, from the last month:

* THE MANY SUICIDES OF AQUAMAN: The Loneliness Of The Underwater Crimefighter When There’s No Fucking Crime Underwater

* BATMAN’S FATAL HEADSHOT: His Parents Died Twenty Years Ago, But Only Today Did He Find Their Hidden Rape Shed

* My daughter, hanging off the edge of the sofa she’s converted into a sick bed: "I need baconceuticals, old man."

* pitching new tv series SHIT MY DAD SAYS FROM INSIDE HIS CREMATION URN

* constantly disappointed at how few people habitually refer to me as "Love Swami"

(in re: Thanksgiving, and Yanks wishing me a good one:)

* Here in Britain, of course, it’s Thank Fuck We Got Those Weird Jesus Bastards On The Boat Day

* don’t listen to Wil Wheaton. Chloroform is not a flavour.

* LIE TO ME is all I want from evening television: a bloke from London shouting at people and then slapping them around a bit

* If you love something, set it free. With one of those tracker anklets. With a bomb on it.

* Huddled under a grey blanket in an abandoned hospital listening to Leyland Kirby’s doomladen SADLY THE FUTURE IS NO LONGER WHAT IT WAS

* The word that sums up 2009: "moonwater" or "shitbeetles"?

* the term "beard" shall henceforth be replaced by "crackling virility hedge"

* pitching my new tv show BACHELOR ROULETTE: ONE OF THESE WOMEN IS OFF HER ANTI-PSYCHOTICS AND WE GAVE HER A GUN

* I don’t care what anyone says, I’m changing my job description on my passport to "Space Bastard"

* hammer pneumatic fucking drills into that editor’s face until he has arseholes for eyes oh shit twtter’s on hello there

* when i find out who lost every wine opener in this house, i’m going to fucking flay them and sell their skin as cumrags for crackwhores

* @BRIANMBENDIS why don’t you call people back after you sleep with them YOU VENAL SLUT

* #followfriday: the terrifying pill-and-whisky hallucination I had in 1988 @PinocchioWithScreamingCocksForEyes

* #followfriday multi-lobed "human rat king" with intertwined brain stems living under MI5 HQ in London @MisterSexCortex

* Good morning, sinners. One more day of this bullshit to go, and then we can all kill ourselves at the weekend. So SMILE!

* phoning Hollywood to pitch THE MUMMY IV: I SHIT DUST

* Related: also trying to beat out Joss Whedon’s TERMINATOR pitch with TERMINATOR: I SHIT ROBOTS

* But, coming soon, Sandra Bullock romantic comedy I SHIT NEW BOYFRIENDS

* I have 149,935 followers. The 150,000th must kill someone of my choosing or I will murder their family.

* Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky/ You mustn’t sigh and you mustn’t cry/ Spread a little stabbiness as you go by

* i wish to ride into battle upon a school of Mongolian Terror Trout

* and by "ride into battle" i mean "go to the pub"

• 12:08 Geeky doctor sent me a letter, primarily to tell me he wants me to take a blood test, but also to say "rock on with the comics". Thanks, doc #
• 18:18 Got a new LPFOS page done, but it won't save! T_T #
• 00:31 Why does my mouth always taste like blood-covered socks? #
• 00:31 Right, from all the blood and socks I eat. How could I forget? #

Upon the early morning hours,
I felt it...
warm, strong, smooth...
across my back,
around my bottom,
then underneath my body...
to move me,
to roll me,
to hold me...

The biting chill...
a dream killed,
a startling ill...
Perhaps, though, at will

A tender dive deep
into fathoms of sleep
will hold and keep
the phantom's creep

away

1. Pen Name- Latsin
2. Fandom- Underworld
3. Rating of the story- PG-13
4. Spoilers/Time Line- It all happens in Underworld: Evolution, so I believe the first and second movies are a must. Also, Amelia the Elder is the main character, so I write about her backstory. The R-rated scene in the movie I removed from the fic.
5. Pairing- Former Markus/Amelia, Selene/Michael
6. Beta Type- I need corrections on grammar, sentence structure, character development (I don’t want any Mary-sues) and content. However, I don’t think the fic is much of a mess so it shouldn’t be hard to correct…
7. Harshness- I’ll take any comments you have as long as it’s in some way constructive :).

This is my second to last semester of college, so I decided to be a huge nerd inquisitive student and write a paper about Vulcans for my science class on emotions.

When I started, I had some vague idea that I could perhaps post it somewhere when I'm done as a reference for ST fanfic writers... particularly those introduced to the fandom by the new movie, and haven't watched The Original Series (yet?) and maybe have somewhat fuzzy ideas about the specifics of the species. Because... there isn't much print material out there that's specifically about Vulcans. My main sources are the show itself, the Star Trek Encyclopedia, Gene Roddenberry's biography, and a handful of random essays and articles I've managed to find in scifi collections and old ST fanzines.

I've recently started thinking about trying to get this thing published, rather than just posting it on livejournal or something. Does that seem like a worthwhile idea? (I don't actually know if there's any interest out there for more reference material on Vulcans.) And if so, does anyone here have any suggestions for publications I might be able to submit this to?

My bibliography isn't just limited to Star Trek material, for the record. One of my goals is to try and explain how Vulcans might make sense in terms of modern science (as opposed to the sixties, when cognitive science was so new that it didn't even have a name yet). Haven't finished writing yet, but I'm at about ten and aiming for around twenty, font sized 12 double spaced.

1. Pen Name amles80
2. Fandom Heroes
3. Rating of the story PG
4. Spoilers/Time Line No spoilers, timeline is not that important, but I guess post-season 3 but nothing specific
5. Pairing Just a hint of Angela/Heidi (Angela-centric; other characters are Heidi and Claire)
6. Beta Type I would like you to look at grammar (and spelling) and anything about the story and language that sounds non-american... I'm Swedish and I know that my English is not perfect when it comes to details. Of course, opinions on the plot etc are also welcome!
7. Harshness Sure, be harsh. I'm used to constructive criticism when it comes to original fiction in Swedish, but as I'm now writing fanfiction in English, I think it would be nice to have someone take a look at it before I post it, for a change!

"An advent calendar of unpleasant Santa antics, with the occasional uplifting/confusing Santa action shot.

"Y’know, for kids."

Heya, i'm new to this community, I'm posting at the moment to help my boyfriend out, he's on an interactive media course at university, and for one of his modules he has created an interactive comic.

It would be very helpful for his work if you could follow the link, try the comic out and fill in the questionnaire.

My soul is spent, its travels made,
And though the roaring accolades,
Have once and twice and more been paid,
I must get over you.

I worry how you disregard,
The world around your constant guard,
Will leave you less, your conscience marred,
If I get over you.

Your perfidy has left me keen,
And now upon my perch I preen
My feathers, for now I have seen
I can get over you.

My teeth will be a pearly shield,
A wall of thick and forceful build,
Which I will carry through the field,
When I get over you.

While May 7th 2010 is still in the distant future, the buzz surrounding Iron Man 2 is definitely starting already. Earlier this week, Marvel unveiled the official movie posters for the US and international releases of the film. Both look sharp, but I'm partial to the one with Iron Man and War Machine standing back to back. However, whoever is handling the official movie website should get on the ball and get something more up there than the single image and newsletter link that are there now. We know that pics from the set have been available in different places for quite some time. With the release of the movie posters, this would be a great time to start putting at least little tidbits up on the site.

Did you want a print copy of SHIVERING SANDS before Xmas?

Here’s Lulu’s shipping guide,which helpfully points out the dates you need to order by in order to receive a copy before that hated day.

There is still time.

And once you’ve done that, here’s the storefront for the book.
