And a quick fic review, even though we know I just write never-ending epics.
( Fic )

And that was 2011.

Go look at your blog journal. Find the last Fandom-related thing you posted. The characters in that post are now your team-mates in the Zombie Apocalypse. How fucked are you?

The last fandom related thing I posted was the Corner of the World New York Marriage e-mails. Dude, I've got Damien, Superman, Lana Lang (who, for some reason, I think would rock in a zombie apocalypse), Lex, Chloe, Martha, baby!Lara, Jason Teague, Whitney, Mark, Grant, Oliver Queen, Black Canary, Lucas....

Well, some of them will die, obviously, but I think I'm pretty set. :)

( My Year in Sentences )

I'm not sure if I acutally wrote enough fic this year, but I'll give this a go.

( The Fic Meme )

1. Write down 20 of your favourite OTPs
2. Put your media player on shuffle. The number of the song corresponds to the number of the OTPs.
3. Quote a part of the song that you think has any similarity with the story of the couple.

( Much Cheating Went Into This )

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people.


"Good," Luke said, and turning his attention back to the cloud-shrouded planet rushing up to meet them. It was odd,he thought, how it had only been on that first trip to Dagobah that the sensors had so totally failed on approach.

Or perhaps not so odd. Perhaps that had been Yoda, deliberately suppressing his instruments so as to be able to guide him unsuspectingly to the proper site.

And now Yoda was gone...


And, tagging.....ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE people. You're it!!

(I was going to say something else. But I don't remember. Also, my space bar is fuztzed and my screen keeps going fuzzy. I may need a new computer.)

ETA I remember: I read the ending of Ashes to Ashes because I wanted to know what the what was. And, you know what? I kind of like it. Because A) it was a fan theory before that made sense and b) THEY WEREN'T ASTRONAUTS IN CRYOSLEEP GOING TO MARS DREAMING THEY WERE COPS IN 2009 WHO WAS SENT BACK TO 1973.

THAT'S why.

I'm not talking about Doctor Who right now because I can only think of 2 things to say and they're not positive. Even though I loved the ep to bits. Weird, huh?
