A thing that has me slightly more pleased than reasonable: I posted my 8th Homestuck fic on AO3 today - 08/08/2012 - and it features Vriska, all by coincidence. Can't keep a spidertroll down. (I have got to write more of her. There's a certain fun in wanting to break off writing every so often to bury my face in my hands and think "Why do you have to be so
you?" ♥ Vriska.)
A thing about which I am outraged!!!!!!!!!!!1 - saw a prompt on
avengerkink that asked for a Discworld crossover where Steve plays the role of Carrot - absolutely, well and good. Then it said that Fury would be a great Vetinari, and Coulson a good Vimes. NO! What? To both of those, no. Fury is Vimes! Though the shadowy council losers are certainly not Vetinari; there's probably not anyone in Avengers who'd make a decent Vetinari. At any rate, Fury totally has a similar mindset as Vimes after being forced through the ascensions of nobility that Vetinari keeps tossing at him. (I always kind of wanted Vimes to be promoted straight up to King, with Carrot off to the side doing his creepy-benevolent thing, happy to stay in the Watch and be at one with the city.)
Another thing: I'm making a fanfic rec tumblr. I've been thinking about doing a Homestuck one, but then what about Marvel flicks, or me suddenly reading dozens of fics for The Losers movie? Then there are a stack of recs I used to have on my Geocities site (baby's first website in so many senses) before Geocities went under. If you are prepared to sit through many, many posts about things you are likely to have no interest in, or you are ready and willing to exercise the might of Tumblr Saviour, I guess follow away!
Everythingficrecs seemed like a decent name. Actual posts to come later.
Final thing:
Tumblr! I had forgotten how bloody counter-intuitive it is to get this site to do what you want when making a new blog. /shakes tiny fist
