So I just finished watching the first (yes, first) season of The West Wing.  It's really actually very good, isn't it?  I'm not sure why I never watched it before.

They all look like such babies, it's amazing.

This story is so very stalled!  I can fix it, I think, but not in time for the wave one draft due date.  SO.  Wave three it is.  That's  all right.  I like August.  August is a good month for stories.  :/

It's official -- my sister's having another boy (her second)!  They were kinda hoping for a girl, just because they haven't been able to come to a consensus on a boy's name.  :P  But I imagine they'll have it figured out in time.

But I feel a little sorry for my brother's girl -- between her two brothers and my sister's two boys, she really is the only girl of the bunch.  Then again, she's the oldest.  Maybe she enjoys it!

 My friends, without going into spoilers:  The Avengers is a LOT of fun + Joss Whedon has not lost his touch with dialogue + NONE of the actors phoned it in (and the team dynamic was nicely balanced, IMO) = go see it, go see it soon.  Also, be aware, the 3-D was more annoying than usual, especially in the action scenes (though it did allow for some cool camera work) and (at least in the US)  there is a bonus cut scene at the very end of the credits, as well as the one in the middle of the credits.  So don't get up early.

So, bandom types.  I find myself teetering between two possibilities in this story, and thought I'd ask before I picked one.

Pete Wentz --> Raven King?  Or Goblin King?   I'm leaning towards Raven King myself, but it's possible that I just like the idea of feathers.

EDIT:  Not really the Labyrinth sort of Goblin King, really.  Though a little bit of Bowie wouldn't hurt.

I should have mentioned this earlier, really, but somebody remixed a story of mine!  And it's pretty spiffy!

This is the first year I've participated in the Remix Redux challenge (it's really the first year where I felt I had enough works done in at least one fandom to qualify).  It's fun!  I'd like to do it again!

I threw my hat in with my SGA fics (I still don't have enough bandom fics to qualify there, but I was in SGA fandom for a good long time -- I still am, sorta, though it's not all that active anymore) and somebody picked up my gen story (teamy, action/adventury monster fic from Ronon's POV, 2009) All But the Whites of Their Eyes, and gave it a really spooky, heartbreaking twist -- all spelled out in epistolary fashion (which I've never attempted, myself, but it's always fun to read).  It's become a monster -- if you like SGA at all, go take a look!

So I've been sort of rereading a bunch of Harry Potter fics.  And I downloaded the UK versions of the books for my Nook (I have copies of all the US editions, in either hard cover  or paperback, but these are BRITISH  :D so that's useful -- Dudley's new word is "Shan't!"  *charmed*).  And watching Harry Potter fanvids.  And a couple of the movies.  Because that's what one does when one should be writing fic in three completely not-Harry Potter-related fandoms!  :DDD

As a consequence of this, I went ahead and joined Pottermore, just so I could get a wand and be sorted and stuff.  Apparently I am in Slytherin?  I do not think I am ambitious enough to be there, but okay.  I like green.  My user name is ScarletFlame16554 if any of y'all are messing around over there.

And here is SlytherinPony me!  (created in this nifty thing)
