vaznetti | the fannish version

a. I have finally caved in and made a tumblr: Vanzetti was Here. No idea what I'm doing, but if you have one and leave your name I will follow your tumblr too. I think it will mostly have to do with ASOIAF, since that's where a lot of stuff in that fandom seems to be going on. But I might also post things relevant to ancient history there too.

Although since I am weird about looking at picspams, it may also be the case that tumblr and I are not going to be good friends in the long run.

b. I realize that hardly anyone else cares, but I am SO EXCITED that they brought back the dance-off on Strictly this year. I did in fact pump the air when I heard that.

c. I enjoyed the first part of the Dr. Who season very much. This is one of those shows where I can either enjoy it, or be engaged about it on line, and I would rather enjoy it. (The West Wing was the same for me.) I'm also watching Merlin, although I never quite managed to attach emotionally to it. But you will all be amused: my husband commented that they had a Lancelot-shaped hole in the story now, and I pointed out that really, since Merlin is young in this one, they can use him for the love triangle if they want that part of the story.

Him: "You mean, with Arthur, right?"
me: ::facepalm::

d. Still looking forward to Yuletide! May actually have enough time to do it this year, too.

e. Other than that, I'm really not writing, after a productive summer -- but when I get back to work writing, the fanfic will probably follow. They usually go together. (I wrote a long story at the end of the summer which is in fic-exchange limbo, but it will show up here eventually.)

a. I am not on Tumblr, but I will bookmark yours.

c. Your husband knows the fannish mindset very well!

d. I look forward to reading it! Let me know if you need a beta.

e. I was writing for a bit, but I'm all tied up with dealing with my folks right now, and the momentum is gone. Maybe in a month or so…

I hope things are OK, or as OK as possible, with your folks. I think of you often.

As for Merlin, the show is just not very subtle about pushing the Arthur/Merlin relationship; I don't think it's just the fans, really. (Although back in S1 Merlin/Gwen seemed plausible and rather sweet to me.)

I'm cacchieressa on tumblr, but it's mostly Avengers or Batfamily stuff, so probably not of interest to you? I enjoy the pretty picture-ness of it all, but find it completely antithetical to how I like to have conversations online, so. It's mostly pretty pictures with snarky tags. *hands*

I might look at yours anyway -- I finally saw Avengers and can now read some of the fic for it (your recs page is a great resource for this!), so pictures with snarky tags may be the next obvious thing.
