lyrangalia:
By now, most of the Elementary fandom has probably already seen or been spoiled for the season finale double-whammy that was “The Woman/Heroine”. But just in case someone hasn’t, abandon ship now if you want to remain unspoiled, because this bit of rambling meta is going to lay out just how…

i dreamed a dream in time gone by
when hope was high and life worth living
i dreamed that love would never die
i dreamed the god would be forgiving
but the tigers come at night, with their voices soft as thunder
as they tear your hope apart
as they turn your dream to shaaaaaaame
Welcome, Monsieur, sit yourself down And meet the best innkeeper in...

Amazon Unveils a [Horrifying] Fanfic Publishing...
lingeringlilies:
Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.
Let me first talk about why fanfiction is so amazing. I would argue it is one of the greatest art forms of the internet age,...

look, i mean, quite aside from the idea that the kirk shirtless scene cancels out the underwear scene (although: nope) or that a cut brindlebee shower scene would’ve done it (although: still nope), could somebody please tell jj abrams that watching a dude ignore a request to avert his…

i fucking love fanfiction like it literally caters for every need, whether you’re wanting 2k of cute couples snuggling on the sofa, a thing of epic length with an awesome plot or a piece of writing that is literally just pages of your favourite characters banging each other whoever invented fanfiction is my fave

amazon's sure to fail "fanfic" venture
stewardish:
A few thoughts on FanLib revisited, aka Amazon’s new “get paid for your fanfic, maybe” Kindle Worlds venture:
John Scalzi’s hunch that gay=porn (from the viewpoint of Vampire Diaries owners and any other intellectual property holder likely to participate in Kindle Worlds), is, I believe, accurate. Gay=porn is how things panned out at FanLib. Any story with a non-canon gay pairing,...

– Pretty sure all the awesome fandom folks I know are smart enough to have realized what a steaming turd the new Amazon thing really is, but just in case you have to get into an argument over it with someone (yes, these are things I legitimately prep for) here are some clear talking points.
Also, no...

aq's thought for the day
abundantlyqueer:
john never refers to himself as an ‘army doctor’. he doesn’t correct sherlock’s use of the term, but then he didn’t correct sherlock’s assumption about harry being his brother until sherlock really pressed him.
john himself, ella (who presumably has access to his military file), and mycroft (who definitely has access to his military file, come on) all use the noun ‘soldier’ in...

IDK how casting Bagels Cucumbers as Khan isn’t disrespectful to Gene Roddenberry tbh.
That man fought networks tooth and nail to have people of different races on his show. He fought long and hard to have an interracial kiss on TV.
