1) Does anyone have any advice for getting into a fandom in another language? I am thinking of making the jump to reading in Spanish, but I don't know where to start. (Besides, you know, typing 'fanficción' into search engines. On the one hand, I would never do that in English; on the other hand, my Spanish reading comprehension is low enough that I will never know if I'm reading badfic)
2) Vidding ( woe, oh woe, and some navel-gazing )
3) I never really understood how people could not have time for fandom stuff, and then I, you know. Got a real job. It turns out eighteen academic hours != forty-hour work week. I've been coming home too sleepy to face real tv shows, so I've been watching That Seventies Show streaming on the theory that I couldn't possibly find subtext in it.
You know where this is going. As of this morning I have written 1500 words of Hyde/Foreman, and I'm showing no signs of stopping. At least I'll have something to post!
4) There's months to go, but I am sort of excited about meeting up with the Torchwood team again. They are ridiculous and dysfunctional and I met them before I met the Doctor and just sort of accepted their warpedness at face-value. And I find myself missing them, apocalyptic fuck-ups and all. (ETA: do I need to add a sanity disclaimer when I talk about fictional characters this way? Or do you, dear friendslist, also think of presently off-air dramatis personae as if they were colorful acquaintances of yours who have been on a long vacation in another country?)
5) I have been listening to so much podfic. I will make a rec list soon, because finding a good story paired with a good reader is pretty great.
6) Hi! How are you? The internet sure has been quiet lately.
