Hi guys,
I remember going to loony-archivist back in the day and finding this Chlark story. It was a wonderful story about Clark and Chloe, first time love in the Torch office, but it's been so long since I've read it that I can't remember much else about it. I thought it was on the Winter Wonderland site, but I guess its not.

If you happen to know the story, please send me a link? Thanks! (oh, it'd be a great read for the sv_book_club  too).

Here is a small set of icons featuring my favorite classic moviestars... Gene Kelly, Jimmy Stewart, Laurence Olivier, etc...

I'm watching Hex, and enjoying it much more than I expected. I like the characters a lot, pretty much all of them, or else I dislike them with the cheerful fervor that means they're written well.British TV seems to inevitably write characters that I love--or at least Hex and Jekyll have, though perhaps two shows aren't enough to state such generalities on.

Also, it will give me an opportunity to write girl-on-ghost!girl best friend porn, which is never to be sneezed at. They're so sweet together.

I put off watching Blood Ties for a long time. I'm not sure why; I really did love the books, so I think I'm probably a bit leery of it on that count. I know--and the author noticed--that they definitely changed Henry's character a lot. They turned him into what I rather thought of as Kenshin without guilt, someone easy going, courteous, and hella dangerous when roused, into a more Hollywood version of vampire.

But it looks like they've kept Vicki's flat-out badass awesomeness as best they could, and the lure of her is too much to resist. And Henry looks like a tolerable rendition of vampire and reasonably attractive, so I'm ready to plunge in, enjoy the sexiness of a lady in glasses, and write vampire porn at my leisure later. I never liked Michael--his possessive and intrusiveness turned me off of him--so I'm not at all upset at how badly they cast him.

Well, I've read further and Enishi doesn't freak me out nearly as much anymore.

Match his behavior with his honest reactions to the reason for his behavior and he doesn't grate on me nearly so much. I think my biggest problem with him was that even when we were showed him thinking about Tomoe's death, he still looked smug, and it felt unpleasantly to me like he was just using her as an excuse.

But showing his very real instability and pain made the mania Tomoe's death caused him feel genuine, and he feels, honestly, less like a smug, calculated supervillain and more like a child trying to beat away what hurts. Battousai being far away doesn't ease the knowledge any, so he's blindly hoping that killing or hurting the man who killed her will ease his own pain of being unable to save her.

I'll never like him, but now I think he's a bit more heartbreaking than repulsive. I mostly just wanna rewind time and toss him at Tomoe for a hug, or something. DAMNIT.

I dunno, maybe I can be a semi-analytical reader after all...?

The last layout was pretty (and blue!) but this one is nice too, and the format on the other one drove me nuts. Also, blue on white text bugged me.

Okay, based on reading the updated spoilers page at K-Site, I've come to these conclusions regarding Chlark this season.

"Love is broad; if you love someone, you love all things, not just their beauty. Love is narrow; you love one and only one, compared to them, no one matters."
- A. Braxton

This is so true. I found it on my iGoogle page and wanted to share it with you all. :)

Title: whispers
Rating: PG13
Pairing: Jekyll/Alice implied
Summary: He hears him always, now.

A/N: Normally I'm not quite so urgent to make excuses for characters, but I wrote this as an effort to allow for the, ah, rather pornish Hyde/Alice story that I started on a whimsy halfway through an episode. So...enjoy?

I know that I'm going to have to kick it up a notch if I even want to get close to reaching my goal of 50,000 words by December 31st. :\ I've been having so much trouble with this current chapter; it's really annoying, especially since I whipped out three chapters rapid-fire last week. Still, I continue to plod forward! Every little word counts for something, right?

JEKYYYYYL.

My favorite show. Ever. Period.

I love this show so much. I love every single freaking badass woman in this show so much. (Claire is the most awesome thing that ever awesomed, ever.)

( first episode under cut )

I'm so sorry for the silence of late, but things have been a little busy. I promise I'll get everyone up to date and all that as soon as something remotely interesting happens.

I am so fucking scared by this. Armed officers bursting into homes and intimidating, terrifying and stealing from people? Officers using tear gas and rubber bullets on a concert crowd filled with children?

I'm beginning to believe my dad: America is over as a culture. Bush's administration has raped and rotted and perverted it for their own profit for too long.
