another thing I should have posted six hours ago

My job today did NOT make me despair of humanity, possibly because I had a lot less content from blogs this time. (That or there was just a lot less rape, misogyny, sexism, and sheer idiocy over the weekend.) However, I feel REALLY TRIUMPHANT over this fact. I practically bounced out of NCCROW.

Some of that is because I was very careful to end the day on this blog post, which has enough Awesome in it to share here. Skip paragraphs two, three, and five, and check out one and four. ESPECIALLY FOUR. WWII Girls With Guns. What more do you need in life?

...oh, wait, that's my NaNovel for this year. How the hell do I forget that? Because I'm an idiot, apparently.

(Also, apropos of nothing, when aella_irene and I talk about the kind of fic people will write about The Novel Series OH GOD HOW, as people who come out of fandom do, I remarked that people would probably do genderfuck. Then I thought about it. And realized that because the MC is basically a female Richard Sharpe, boy!MC would...actually be Sharpe. Only, you know, faux!Austrian/German. No, seriously, we actually have these conversations. What, you don't?)

sure, I could be more vague, but where's the fun in that?

I feel a sudden urge to write something AWESOME.

Also to reread the entire Harry Potter series, watch the first two movies (which I have on VHS -- you know, the days when Daniel Radcliffe was tiny and also didn't sleep with groupies?) and read the Old Skool fic. Somedays I miss older HP fandom (you know, the Long Summer or whatever it's called -- between books four and five. I think I may have actually come in between books THREE AND FOUR, though. Oh, HP, you are my fandom of nostalgia, and I miss your sweet innocence).

But mostly, I want to write something AWESOME. (Sadly, I have to write my response to Pouring Tea: Black Gay Men of the South, which was indeed pretty awesome, but not what I'm thinking of at the moment.)

This post brought to you by a sudden late night vid-watching binge.
