Summary: Mary Morstan is a hunter of the supernatural sort and John isn't quite sure what to make of that. Nothing about life without Sherlock Holmes makes much sense to John anyway.

Fanfiction: Solar Flare (Yu-Gi-Oh!)

2012-01-24T23:55:40Z

Title: Solar Flare
ygodrabble Challenge Name and Number: Crack, #062
Rating: PG
Word Count: 592
Warnings: Probably won't make much sense if you haven't seen anything with the Eleventh Doctor.
Summary: Somewhere out there, the Doctor, Amy, Rory, and River are saving the whole of time and space. But Yami doesn't know that, he only knows that the world is ending. It shouldn't surprise him that Bakura's dark personality still seeks him out in the end. Coincides with the end of season 5 for the new Doctor Who series.

( On a starless night, a crack—barely perceivable at first—appeared on Yuugi's bedroom wall. )

I would probably get a lot more writing/anything done if I played less TF2 and LoL. But yeah, naw dude.

TF2 is free all this week/til Sunday!

Technically, our paper was accepted and it will be published within this year.

Okay, confession time. I've actually had a tumblr for months now. I just haven't actually used it for anything other than lurking a few comics tumblr.

Puff and Sting

Anyone else have a tumblr? Let's see if I'm still capable of learning new technologies.

While we're on the subject, does tumblr have any site-specific netiquette?

So there are rumors going around that DC is going to de-age some characters in the universe-wide reboot coming soon?

And I can think about is this scene from Stargate.

What I learned from tonight's Supernatural finale

2011-05-21T03:32:26Z

Supernatural doesn't have a theme song/opening sequence. Considering Smallville's "SOMEBODY SAVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEE MEEEEEEE!", this may be a good thing
Sarah Michelle Geller is returning in a new series to the WBCW this fall; along with something that looks like Charmed retooled for a younger audience? (with a scene in the commercial that looks ripped right out of the Twilight movie)

( And most importantly... (Spoilers under the cut) ) Man, I really hope some fandom wank comes out of this episode. Mostly because I just like reading about it.

I'm not gonna lie

2011-05-13T23:32:43Z

I'm kinda stupidly excited for tonight's Smallville series finale. It's going to be terrible. They're going to stuff as many bit parts/cameos as possible (I would lol like hell if Michael Shanks comes back as Hawkman again, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN SMALLVILLE!). Nothing with Darkseid will make sense, much less canon sense. And I hope evil!Lex fucks Clark up good (...not like that...).

Not to mention, Comics Alliance is going to be liveblogging the episode!

ETA WHY HAS NOTHING HAPPENED A QUARTER OF THE WAY THROUGH? I can't take much more of this Lois and Clark angst. Lois, you're Lois fucking Lane. You deserve better than imposter!Clark!

ETA 2 I know you're superhuman and all, Clark, but seeing and conversing with your dead father can't be healthy.

ETA 3 This would have actually been kinda compelling if they had compressed the first hour's events into about 20 minutes instead. I still don't understand their need to reinterpret the Superman mythos in cosmic terms (i.e., prophecies, light and darkness, balance).

ETA 4 I TAKE IT BACK! I TAKE IT BACK! No amount of editing could change the sheer fail of this script!

ETA 5 It's over! BRB LOLING 4EVER!

Inane travels from the confuzzled in DC

5:30am: Arrive in a parking lot, and confused

6:30am: Wonder if I should have taken cab instead...

Work has been a little hectic and I have to go to DC this Saturday for my brother's graduation. But I thought I'd go ahead and drop a preview of what I have been sort of working on. It's my biopunk story for the genretwisting Bingo Challenge.

Whoo! Portal 2 goes live in about 10 minutes! You silly Steam users, I will never underestimate you again.

I guess this will be one of those times when being on the West Coast is nice, I would have another 3 hours to play before bed. But alas, it is nearly 12:30AM.

Hurray! Taxes are filed! I hope I didn't mess up!

I'm also doing the genretwisting Bingo Challenge. You know, instead of actually working on my long-term projects. Though rediscovering the Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt has helped put me in a better headspace toward writing for Looking Back.

WHERE IS THE SIN?

2011-04-06T18:52:40Z

Okay... This is the weirdest "personality test" I have ever taken.

Your power comes from an ability to sense how things might be and to proclaim this possibility with a great force and willingness to act. You have a tendency to be romantic, and can be an idealist. This sense of how the world can be is often expressed with self-deprecatory humor. Because of your need to address the immediacy of the moment, you may not think things through to their logical end, relying instead on a feeling for how a situation SHOULD end. You need to be liked and appreciated by others, although your attention often wanders. Sometimes you neglect old friends in favor of a new or exciting acquaintance. You have a real difficulty being alone. Often you will seem to know how to handle a situation without exactly knowing HOW you know this. Your thoughts are often shallow. While in the excitement of the moment you can obsess about a task at hand. If it should become rote and unexciting, however, it can be dropped just as quickly.

Although, that last part about my obsessive tendencies over new shinies is very, very true.

Although I'm having a big citation needed moment (can't find any mention of this Pierley/Redford Dissociative Affect Diagnostic on Google Scholar), it was an interesting experience. Just take it. It's got some of the weirdest questions ever.

I lol'ed in real life

2011-03-29T20:36:16Z

In the news today, 4Kids gets sued for being asshats and not upholding their contract with TV Tokyo. Oh, they also lose their licensing/dubbing deal for Yu-Gi-Oh!

Maybe now we can have a more competent company re-license it and FINALLY get a subbed version on DVD?

And completely not related, but made me lol hard.

Free video games! For real!

2011-03-29T01:34:24Z

So I just pre-ordered Portal 2 as a two-pack off Steam. One is going to Mike because buying the two-pack got us the 20% as opposed to 10% discount.

That also means I have two extra copies of the original Portal, which were given as pre-order bonuses.

First two people to comment and give me their email address, I will send them each a digital copy of the game.

A few things you should keep in mind if you want Portal. You will need to install Valve's official software, Steam, and register an account with them. If you already have Steam, you can hit me with your account name instead, and I will add you and send the game to that account.

Writing hang-ups as usual

2011-03-28T19:59:08Z

I wonder if posting snippets of what I'm working on will help me focus more on writing. It's sad that when I've run out of intrinsic motivation, I need shots of extrinsic ones to keep going.

( From chapter 3 of Looking Back in Retrospective (OMG, need title change so bad!) )

There's something aggravating about trying to write historical fiction, especially Ancient Egyptian. The names by which we commonly know the gods of the Egyptian religion are largely Greek/Roman adaptations. While I am mostly okay with using the more common names for the gods, I seem to have trouble doing the same with names of cities and other locations (see Waset -> Thebes -> Luxor).

Guilty Pleasures

2011-03-25T14:26:07Z

One of my guilty pleasures is watching Smallville and reveling in what a terrible adaptation of the Superman mythos it is. I'm not even going to start on the acting, writing, or dialogue here.

The tenth and final season, Clark has still yet to adopt the Superman costume even though the S shield emblem has been shown many times before. Hell, we even have a Supergirl before a Superman. All we get is his Thriller jacket.

Darkseid as la the smoke monster from Lost will be epic, or at the very least epically bad!

( More gif spam below the cut because I think Smallville gifs are the funniest thing evar! )

Why you hate me DS?

2011-03-08T03:08:14Z

Yeah, I'm probably not going to make much progress in writing any time soon. First, Radiant Historia ate up most of my time over the last week and a half (and I'm almost at the end). I just grabbed Pokemon Black today (because why not?!). And Okamiden will also be dropping soon, which I have pre-ordered directly from Capcom for the plushie bonus.

Why you such a time sink, NDS?

Now what starter Pokemon should I pick...
