three things make a happy post

[aria]

I guess I was wrong about not having internet! I'm still a nomad, though. I am just an exceptionally wired nomad.

1. I love Feminist Hulk so damn much that I am beginning to be tempted to get a twitter. I mostly have not done so already because I'm not much good at short things, and I don't really have enough free time for these newfangled fripperies anyway, and I get really easily addicted to shiny things. So I don't know! Those of you whose lives I follow anyway, do you have one? do you recommend that I join your twitter cult? if I did, would I get cool updates on your life that I can't get from Dreamwidth? Feminist Hulk alone cannot tip me to the tweet side, but it is possible you can.

2. I have managed to get my hot little hands on Babylon 5: The Gathering and the first bit of season one. Um. It was already madness to do episode meta on all of due South; there is no way I should do it for B5. Feel free to point and laugh if when I do a Gathering post this evening. /o\

3. KINK BINGO. I have been eyeing kink_bingo for about, mm, two years now, and not signed up because, IDK, I was doing things like Doctor Who season projects and due South commentary and Cliche Bingo. (The last of which, incidentally, I ended up writing Fraser/Kowalski bondage porn for anyway.) So this year, I actually signed up.



I am jealous of oliviacirce's card, because hers has a tentacles square. But as sasha_feather pointed out, I have a free square, plus I can write as much Londo/G'Kar as I want as long as the kink on the square is the focus of the story. I'm ... kind of amazed at how many of these squares I could cheerfully turn into tentacleporn.

In addition I already spot at least one square that's perfect for each of my major fandom loves (that is, B5 [that is even other things than Londo/G'Kar!] and due South and Doctor Who) plus about a billion that'll work well for White Collar, because ... well, because it's White Collar. I AM KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT KINK BINGO, GUYS. :D

Whee you signed up!! Me too!! I look forward to all the porn you produce <3

[aria]

I am looking forward to all the porn that large sections of my awesome writerly flist(dwircle??) is going to produce! Do you have your card yet?

[alwayswondered]

"Pervertibles"? That sounds hilarious (and also applicable to many many things).

[aria]

The kink wiki entry on them is here, but you basically already summed it up with "hilarious and also applicable to many many things". :DDD!

[were_duck]

Yay! And yes, I just posted it!

[were_duck]

Also, I am jealous you got pervertibles! But then again, pervertibles go pretty naturally with a lot of other kinks, so I can still write them into something on my card :)

[alwayswondered]

That's more or less what I thought they would be. Awesome! The world is pervertible! :D

[gehayi]

I signed up for Kink Bingo last year and found that I could not write anything that was purely PWP. Just trying to almost made me die of embarrassment. Which makes me an oddity among fans, I know. I hope you have better luck.

[carrieann]

I'm on twitter! It's mostly random things that I think up that I don't want to bother a journal post with. It ranges from real life stuff to fandom-y things. Not all that exciting, really, but if you're interested, my twitter name is cloudannette.

[geekturnedvamp]

ha, I have like 3 twitters--the professional/RL one, the fannish one, and the private locked one that only 12 people can see--which I'm sure surprises no one who knows about my 12 livejournals.

[skipthedemon]

Why I am boggling that you are writing for the kink meme, I do not know.

I'm looking forward to it though!

[aria]

Your card is pretty aces too! And I'm kind of jealous of myself for getting pervertibles, because, how awesome is that? (I'm still jealous of Olivia's whole card, though. XD)

[aria]

I do have a tendency to second-guess myself a lot more with sex scenes than with any other kind of writing, but luckily it's more an "urk, this could sound so much less stupid!" than just a sheer embarrassment thing. On the other hand, I'm sure at least some of my squares will come out as icon sets/kinky-but-without-porn fics, &c.

[aria]

Tell me what you like about twitter! Since I am still in the process of debating whether to get one, I'd like an argument in favor. (All I've received so far is "Well, I thought it was stupid, and then I got one. And it was still stupid, but also fun and addictive.")

[aria]

I can't even imagine how you keep track of all that. XD

[aria]

Perhaps it is because I do not write porn very often? I mean, if you knew me IRL it would perhaps be less surprising, because I love to cheerfully talk about sex at every available opportunity, but for ficcish things I am for the most part a plot-before-porn sort of girl. I AM BREAKING OUT OF MY BOUNDARIES. :D

[skipthedemon]

BREAKING OUT OF BOUNDARIES IS GOOD.

I, OTOH, am considering breaking out of fine but actually slightly longer than 1,000 words long. Not that I have a ton of short fic, either. Wohooo?

[anekdot]

I get a kick of out occasionally reading some Twitters (ex. Dear Girls Above Me), but I still don't get the appeal??? It's like-- the Facebook status update thing! BUT WITHOUT THE REST OF FACEBOOK.

... okay, never mind, I see the appeal. :P

[anekdot]

*That is, I don't get the appeal of actually having a Twitter. Internets, I am so good at them.

[aria]

It's like-- the Facebook status update thing! BUT WITHOUT THE REST OF FACEBOOK. ... okay, never mind, I see the appeal. :P

RIGHT YEAH EXACTLY. But I am not sure that means I should have one, just that possibly I should burn my facebook and BURY THE ASHES.

[geekturnedvamp]

Well, most of them are abandoned/inactive/reading journals. I need to start using my fannish twitter more, but I am paranoid and keep worrying I'll type into the wrong window and end up tweeting something highly imappropriate to all the people following the pro twitter by mistake.

[teiwazmorning.livejournal.com]

I am really ridiculously excited to see the results of your kink bingo-ing. :D

[themeletor]

I VOTE YES ON TWITTER. but that's partly because in my particular case twitter is the best way i have for outbound communication (aside from texting), which is mostly because it's the most noncommittal -- and most easily phone-based -- of internet social networks. XDRESSINGHULK IS ALSO AWESOME.

re: your kink bingo, i enjoy the revelation that EVERY SQUARE CAN BE A TENTACLES SQUARE. also the revelation that white collar may in fact be the little black dress of kinkfic.

i also really really like the corset piercing photo that is your central image. i want one.

[carrieann]

What I like about it? Uhhh, I can easily access it on my phone, you can follow famous people (like Simon Pegg and Eddie Izzard), um, I don't know? The main reason -I- joined it is because one of my long time friends who lives in Alaska mostly updates that instead of LJ or FB, so if I want to know what's going on in her life, I need to follow her twitter.

Sorry for not being more helpful. >< .

Yar, kink bingo! And hello! :)
