So, mah sweetie and I are going home for the weekend. By which I mean, we're going back to Calgary for a visit. This could either be really good, or really bad.

I am super-excited about one aspect: my cousin is currently staying with my parents while working in Calgary to build up some school-money, and as she is my bestest pal that I am not married to, it's going to be tons of fun having some serious visiting time. :D

There is one aspect over which I am not-so-excited. Eep... ;_;

Buuuuuuut, hopefully everything will work itself out, and we won't end up all disowned-like.

Also, the advertising off to the side of my entry is promising me "5 Tips for a Flat Stomach", and encouraging me to find a "Pretty Mexican Bride". O.o

Also: WTF, brain? How the hell am I finding it easier to write Nenene/Nancy than Nenene/Yomiko?

You know, sometimes I think that I get angry over really stupid things. Then I go to Fandom Wank. And then I feel better.

Well, sort of. O.o

I think sithwitch13 said it best:

It's kinda hard to be sympathetic when you don't understand what the everliving fuck he's saying.

I mean, the poor guy is obviously upset, but...what?

EDIT: Okay, all of this suddenly makes a lot more sense.

Listened to my Rachmaninov vespers CD on the way to work this morning. Woke up two stops late, swore a little, then got off the bus and meandered off to buy coffee. Apparently, the Rach writes him some soothing music.

Have made a mental note to listen to Enya on the way to work from now on.

Have reconsidered this.

Am going for more coffee now.

*goes for more coffee*

Dude, that's freaky. Staying away from the Harvest Moon fandom has this, like, magical power to make me love all the characters.

Three months ago, I couldn't stand Celia, and now my little Farmergirl in HM:DS wants to marry her. (And Muffy. And Flora. And Nami. And Elli. Hey, my Farmergirl deserves a harem!)

Ahem. Anyway, the moral of the story is, yay for Celia and her freakish resemblance to Mutsumi Otohime!

And also, the Harvest Moon fandom could probably make me hate puppies and kittens and baby bunnies.

( Female Villains and the Fangirls Who Hate Them )

Ahem. And the moral of the story is, I take fictional characters and idiot fanthings' complaints regarding the same a little too seriously.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand, just so this isn't all me ranting about how girl-villains aren't so bad, even if they don't have penises and thus cannot be involved in Hawt Mansexxors, I'll just add that I'm currently trying to do a Yomiko/Nenene 1sentence piece, which is turning out to be lots of fun. And more Nenene/Yomiko/Nancy than anything. I suspect that the Nenene/Nancy one I've got planned next will be the same. ^^;;

So, does anyone else find this feature of those college comedies absolutely hilarious? You know, that bit at the end where they detail everyone's lives five years later for No Apparent Reason? Anyway, I thought it was funny, so here's my take on ROD: 5 Years Later - Where Are They Now?

( Five Years Down the Road )

You know, it's really tough, being a UBC student nowadays. With nary a worthy cause to throw one's student-ey weight behind (I mean, never mind global warming, actual injustice elsewhere, starving children, etc. - those are all the way over there!), they're forced to embark upon protests over the most ridiculous of things.


( The Wacky Adventures of Icarus and Ratjen and All of Their Friends )

And to anyone who believes that this is truly Rhianwen's worst fic ever, let me just assure you, it is something far sadder: this shit actually happened. Yes, I know, it makes me weep too.

Joker, Wendy, and wedding-fluff. Because I need to get all things fluffy out of my system before I tackle the baby-angst.

( Roar! Attack of the Wedding-Fluff! )

OOC. But it did get another 101_kisses theme out of the way. Whoo. :D

Fandoms confuse me.

Let's say a person posts a story about a show that's mostly action/adventure in nature. Now, let's say this story is romance. Or family-centric, or random, fluffy-sweet day-to-day fic. And then let's make ourselves some popcorn as we sit back and watch some wacko or other on fanficrants throw a shit-fit because the story is being TOTALLY UNFAITHFUL to the TONE of the SOURCE MATERIAL, and SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED in a FANDOM that should be ALL ABOUT the ACTION!!!!!

Fair enough; they watch the show for action, and they want it in their fic. Personally, I think it's rather annoying to set down ground rules that you can ONLY write stuff in keeping with the genre of the original source material, because most of the time I'm writing and reading fanfic to fill in some blanks, but what can you do? I still understand where the gripe comes from.

Until.

The next day, someone comes along and posts an equally romance-ish, family-ish, or cutesy-fluffy ordinary-day-type fic for a different fandom. A fandom that is primarily about romance, family, and cutesy-fluffy ordinary day type stuff. Well, we'd better go get some more popcorn, because it's only a matter of time before the bitchin' will start again. This time, it's BORING when EVERY SINGLE STORY is EXACTLY LIKE the SHOW, so NO ONE should EVER WRITE a STORY LIKE THAT AGAIN!!!!!

Yup, here's me confused.

So, because I am Bored, and always looking for more Joker/Wendy plot bunnies with which to annoy those who very vocally hate them, I'm finally getting around to planning out one of the 101_kisses themes that I've put off for a while. I have my heart set on a story where she ends up pregnant, at some hazy point post-series after he's stopped being all glassy and non-responsive (unless I want to make it fem-dom non-con too), because I am highly sadistic to my favourite characters. >:D

Now it simply remains to decide how the heck he would react. I'm thinking...pushing her repeatedly down the stairs in attempt to trigger a miscarriage. What can I say? I've been reading Batman: The Animated Series villainshippies again. ^^;;
