Movie Review: Fame (2009)

No comments

Oh dear. Oh…oh dear. Well, um, the musical numbers were good? I never saw the the original movie so I can’t compare the two but I found this greatly disappointing. In a time where we have Chicago, Moulin Rouge, Repo!, and even the horrible Rent, it’s easy to see why they decided to reboot the [...]

So, on Friday I received an email telling me that the course I registered for, the Graphic Memoir one was cancelled due to low enrolment. That sucked. I was bummed. I’m going to try to enroll in a Douglas Collage course on Memoir Writing, but it might be too short notice. However, look what I [...]

So fandom, we’re at it again, are we? Another racism conversation? Great. Look, yes, Racism is bad. *isms at all are bad, but they happen. And there will always be people who don’t care. Because of this, *isms won’t go away. It also won’t go away because you keep bringing it up. I watched Avatar [...]

I am so totally registered for this course! In the new year, I’m going to try to finish a page of A Girl Called Kermit every 2 weeks. I’ve broken it down into chapters now, one for each health issue I want to address. My main problem with AGCK before was that it was too [...]

Seriously, people? Seriously?! Are you so desperate to get published that any little acknowledgement is good enough for [...]

The first one was Franklyn, the story about three un-connected characters joined together by fate. Franklyn Official Trailer (HD) by Franklyn_UK It had some good ideas, but there [...]

Reworking Elven Lacryment

No comments

You’ve probably noticed that Elven Lacryment hasn’t updated in what seems like forever. Alex’s laptop died. (I know, first my adventures in Laptopness and now her!) and she’s supposed to get a new one next week. So here’s hoping. Meanwhile, I’ve been tinkering with the script. I’ve added new elements, and I hope that it [...]

And there’s already wank about it. I too, have a problem with the warning labels omiting ‘dubcon’. Sometimes I’m very uncomfortable lableing something “Noncon/rape”. One fic I have up there has the warnings “Noncon/rape” and the tags “Comfort/Angst” and “hurt”. It gives me a squicky feeling. Yes, I can put my own tags in, I [...]

A few days ago, I did a google search for some of my works, just to see how out there I really was. One of the things I googled was “NecroRaver”, because my resident villain can pop up in the most unlikely of places. Like MySpace. Yes, boys and girls, there’s a 21 year old [...]
