I tease because I love.

Dear Heroes fandom,

Yeah, April 23rd. No kidding. Welcome to hiatus!

Sincerely,

Dear Supernatural fandom,

Why are you listening to Kristin from E!? Is she telling the truth for once? Because if she is someone owes me five bucks. Tell me, are her lips moving? If her lips are moving that's usually a sign she's full of shit. Also, the consciousness and the standing upright.

Sincerely,

Me

Dear writer's block,

A meme, because I like this one ...

Post a list of your top five favorite fics you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.

1. Something Biblical (X-Men Movieverse, post-X2) -- What I remember most about writing that story was seeing the prompt before I ever got it and saying, "Holy fuck, if I don't get that, I'm STILL writing the damn story." I'd had thoughts after the second movie about writing an AU story where all of the humans had died thanks to Magneto, and I'd even thought about writing a story where all of the mutants had been killed because they hadn't gotten to Xavier (which I still might write because, really, come on), so I went nuts when I got the prompt and got to run with it. God help me, no one should ever give me a post-apocalyptic idea -- I will devour that fucker.

2. Real Men Don't Make Cheesecake (Supernatural) -- Okay, I pretty much have a deep abiding love for every "Dean gets a hobby" story I've written. Because, seriously, if anybody needs a hobby, it's Dean. But I really love the thought that Dean is secretly fabulous at something he will absolutely never admit to being good at and liking a great deal. And maybe I'm being all stupid but it's the one story I've written in the SPN fandom that I will desperately believe is hardcore canon unless otherwise disproven. Heh.

3. Dark Places Where Monsters Dwell (Veronica Mars) -- You know why I like this one? Because I have no fucking clue where the idea came from. It was one of those times when I sat down at my computer without any sort of idea about what I was going to write about and so I just started writing about Dick Casablancas. And the apocalypse. And a pregnant Mac.

4. I Seek A Silent Fortress (The Shawshank Redemption) -- The weird thing is that I have no recollection of the actual writing of the story, which is probably a good thing. Seriously, I read that thing now and I can hear Morgan Freeman's voice in my head saying all of it.

5. Straight On 'Til Morning (Supernatural) -- Dude, Mary Winchester can kick your ass. KAPOW. :)

As usual, I'm not tagging anyone. *shrugs*

You know what's annoying?

When it feels like it's five below out and you can see the spring warm-up coming at the tail end of the 6-10 forecast on Yahoo. Goddamn it, I don't need to see fifty degree temps and sunshine a week and a half from today when I'm cold NOW.

In other news, some_family is accepting Petrelli family prompts here. Spoilers in the comments, obviously, so I'd suggest getting caught up to "Parasite" before taking a look.

As for me, I've got my own damn Petrelli fic to write.

EDIT: Also, rpfremix, for anybody who writes RPF.

Oh, Sandy, the things I do for your cute little ass.

I am watching that stupid Pussycat Dolls show for Sandra McCoy.

Oh, sweetie, I know why you did this and I know why Jared loves you, but if I have to listen to one more overly pretty highly toned girl talk about how the Pussycat Dolls are all about female empowerment and individuality I'm going to scream.

Or, you know, bark out another sarcastic "HA!" loud enough to annoy the neighbor.

Spotted on IMDB ...

The Snickers ad that ran during last month's Super Bowl in which two mechanics munching at each end of a candy bar end up mouth to mouth and then register their disgust, offended not only gays but also religious conservatives, it turns out. The Smoking Gun website on Monday posted numerous complaints filed with the FCC over the ad. One wrote of feeling "violated" by the ad, writing "God knows, I didn't turn on the superbowl [sic] expecting to be tricked into watching gay sex." Another wrote that the spot violated "our religious beliefs and exposes our children to obscene and disgusting material they are taught are wrong." Other letter writers complained about Prince's performance during halftime likening it to gay porn. In all, the FCC received about 150 complaints about the telecast -- a far cry from the tens of thousands of letters that rained down on the commission in the wake of the Janet Jackson "Nipplegate" scandal three years ago.

Call me crazy, but I think somebody was sick the day they discussed what constitutes sex.
