Lj not delivering any comment notifications is annoying, but what else is new? On a more fun note, I put up some of my newer fanfic in various fandoms and wrote another DS9 drabble. Here are the links.
"Stain" (aka yours truly has a revisionist take on Vedek Bareil and The Collaborator)
"Ghost in the Machine" (my Star Wars/ Farscape crossover, in which Obi-Wan Kenobi encounters Scorpius)
"Faith Manages" (Kai Winn, through the seasons)
"End of the Affair" (Londo/G'Kar slash I originally wrote for
theatrical_muse and rewrote to fit with B5 canon instead of roleplaying canon)
****
My local comicstore finally delivered Astonishing X-Men #3 and #4, so I've been revelling in Jossian goodness. So many things to love - the way many of the mutants react to the "cure" news, Beast's argument with Wolverine (note to self: must find good fanfic about Hank McCoy), the ongoing Emma and Kitty bickering, Emma Frost in general (is it me, or does Joss continue to give her the best lines), Dr. Rao (hooray for not-evil, not-mad female scientist still on opposing sides of Our Heroes)… Oh, and when Scott started to talk to this one-eyed chap, something in my memory triggered. "I know him," I thought, and then recalled 1602 which featured, among many others, the Elizabethan version of one Nicholas Fury. 1602 was the first time I encountered the gentleman and I was disappointed when andrastewhite told me he isn't that complex in the usual Marvelverse. (The Elizabethan Fury is a most intriguing antihero who owes something to Walsingham and even more to Neil Gaiman's knack of great twists.) Anyway, modern-day Fury as written by Joss Whedon might not be that complex, but he's got something up his sleeve, and I'm sure we'll see him again.
****
Now, the first part of my Angel season 4 rewatching: As I said before, this is the season plotted most tightly. Which probably makes it impossible to watch for newbies, but it's ever so rewarding for the faithful fan.
( From Deep Down to Slouching Towards Bethlehem )
