shallowness

I was saddened to learn yesterday of Michelle Trachtenberg’s passing at only 39. I hadn’t watched Gossip Girl, so she’s always been frozen as Dawn, the youngest Scoobie, in my mind. And now, if the Buffy reboot ever gets off the ground, she won't be able to be a part of it in any capacity. But obviously for the people who knew and loved her, the loss is greatest.

The AO3 meme, as seen at musesfool

1. Most Hits: Comprehension Mansfield Park - Jane Austen, Henry Crafword/Fanny Price. His marriage and his sister's wedding help Henry to see more. 9,685 hits. Still absolutely the fic that I've written that's had the most impact.

2. Second Most Kudos: Extreme Action Sky High (2005), Warren Peace/Layla Williams. Fake-out make-out. (Layla’s idea.) 591 kudos. The film is 20 years old! Must rewatch this year.

3. Third Most Comments: As above. 22 comments.

4. Fourth Most Bookmarks:
When we were strangers (or five ways Layla and Warren never met) Sky High (2005), Warren Peace/Layla Williams. Five ways Layla and Warren never met. 42 bookmarks.

5. Fifth Most Words: Be Careful…Always Dark Angel, Max Guevara/Alec McDowell. Two phrases. Two speakers. Different universes. 3.577 words (for me, that’s unthinkable these days.)

6. Fic With Fewest Words:
distance in your eyes Dark Angel, Logan Cale/Max Guevara, 51 words (it’s poetry!)

Aaand that reminds me that I still have fic that I need to repost here and at AO3, and before that I should probably post my three-sentence fills, none of which are over 3,500 words.

My what AO3 tag are you? result:

consensual but not safe or sane
you're a little bit feral, but that's okay—you weren't socialised as a puppy. it's not your fault. you mean well!

Three ships

Jupiter Jones/Caine Wise (Jupiter Ascending) because I just read a fic about how Jupiter is overcome by his hotness, her new space werewolf fetish and her feelings about him. Cormoran Strike/Robin Ellacott (the Cormoran Strike mysteries) because I read them quite recently, so they’re still on my mind. Zoe Hart/Wade Kinsella (Hart of Dixie) even though at this point in my watching ( season 3 )

First ever ship

Lynda Day/Spike Thompson (Press Gang) This may not be strictly accurate, there were probably bookships before.

Last song

‘See, Know’ by Julianna Barwick, from ‘Will’ although it’s more of a track than a song.

Last film

Cinema: Anatomy of a Fall, which I thought was good, although I’m not raving about it like critics. Streaming: The Last Five Years, Anna Kendrick in a musical, which is, OF COURSE, set in New York, aggressively so because shooting on location is one of the big reasons to adapt it into a movie.

Currently reading

Fanfic (see above). Otherwise, I’ve just started a book (non-fiction, a gift so I’m not going to name it.) I’m planning to read a chapter in between fiction, but I haven’t started the next one yet. I just finished ‘Dark Orbit’ by Caroline Ives Gilman, sci-fi, with A LOT going on in it.

Currently watching

It Takes Two and Strictly Come Dancing live or as live as I can, The Wheel of Time (my take on the last ep I watched ought to have been this post), Cardiac Arrest and Hart of Dixie. I’m also rewatching The West Wing. Some quiz shows and panel shows that I generally don’t discuss here.

I posted A Little Learning. an Enchanted drabble on Sunday for the prompt: Enchanted, Robert/Giselle, he learns to sing along with the musical numbers.

On the same day, I saw this on my reading circle:

With new people in our DW circles, we're often unfamiliar with their fandom interests. So share the fandoms you create fan work for and/or the fandoms you consume fan works in and/or the fandoms where you just love the canon.
