1. So lately there seems to be a lot of Clint Barton fic in Avengers movieverse fandom, and you know what I want? I want a story where movie!Clint likes the purple costume. Where they have to talk him out of it, not in to it. Why is fandom buying in to the idea that purple makes you unmanly? Why is fandom writing a Clint who can be in an open and loving relationship with Coulson, or who is Darcy's sensitive, feminist boyfriend, but who can't handle the idea of, *shudder*, wearing purple in public?

I will grant you that Hawkeye's costumes have been among the most consistently terrible in comics history, but it's not the color that's offensive. (Actually a mix of dark colors is better for blending in at night than pure black anyway.) Fandom! Give me a purple-and-proud-of-it Clint! Preferably a purple-and-proud-of-it-Clint who has zero taste in clothing!

2. I finally [redacted for yuletide] and now [redacted for yuletide] asexual threesome of awesome, even though [redacted for yuletide].

3. Also I [redacted for yuletide] and threesome AU, because if [redacted for yuletide] canon would have gone there, yes? And of course [redacted for yuletide].

4. I am falling in love with [redacted for yuletide], who is even awesomer than I expected, if you [redacted for yuletide]. I kind of want to throw together a [redacted for yuletide]-parts-only version of canon, because that's how I'm [redacted for yuletide].

5. Why do I do this to myself every yuletide? AAAAHHHH [redacted] [redacted] [redacted]

6. Going to the DC yuletide write-in today! Maybe I will actually be able to talk about some of this there. :p

7. terajk wrote a tiny bit of Ryoga/Ranma/Akane genderqueer polyfic like I still really want the epic of! And she managed to somehow pack an entire epic's worth of implications into less that two hundred words. It is awesome. You should go read it.

8. I finally got around to watching the Peter/Harriet BBC miniseries over Thanksgiving. It was brilliant! Almost as good as the books, and part of the reason I waited so long to watch them is that I didn't believe they could be as good as the books. I wish there was some way to make every film adaptation as good - they have proved that it is possible. (I suppose "not made in Hollywood" is a good starting place, though.)

9. Now I am re-reading the Lord Peter books again! Because! There still needs to be Sayers femmeslash out there. Also, usually when I read a published novel, I have one of two reactions: "Wow, that wasn't all that great, I could write something that good" or "Wow, that was amazing, I could never do that, I should just give up on writing now." (They are not necessarily accurate statements, or reflecting well on me, but at least I know that?) Gaudy Night, on the other hand, makes me go "Wow. What do I have to do to make myself into somebody who could write that?" I need to find more books like that.

also somebody should write Sayers RPF where she's being investigated for murder while writing Strong Poison. And then be investigated for murder while writing the RPF. A story by a female mystery writer being investigated for murder about a female mystery writer being investigated for murder while writing a story about a female mystery writer being investigated for murder while writing a story about a female mystery writer being investigated for murder! It would be the best ever.

10. Someone tell me that nobody needs to vid Thor/Loki to I Want A Cold Cold Christmas.
