I'm not going to a friend's birthday party today because I'm not feeling up for it (in a "I could go if I wanted to but I just sorta don't want to" kind of way) and now I'm wondering how many cookies I should get him next week to make up for it. I wanted to bake tomorrow anyway.

I finally signed up for fandom-stocking, my post is here. I was very hesitant because it's like I'm asking people to give me things, it'd be extra work for them, and it's not like I really need anything, and I'm not even sure how much time I'll have to stuff a few stockings myself. But then I told myself to shut up and do it anyway, so.

I'm still catching up on Doctor Who, one episode per day. At least that's the plan, but I might watch a second one today because I'm enjoying this season more and more.

I really enjoyed the last few weeks of "The Young Protectors."( Read more... )

For the December meme, a question by

weird_one: What's your comfort meal?

Difficult question, but I think I'll go with home-made burgers. I don't like burgers from fast-food restaurants: sometimes they taste good, but always weirdly empty. Burgers from proper restaurants can be very good. But my favorites are home-made burgers, with a normal Semmel, minced meat, and whatever is available from salad, tomatos, onions, gherkin... We call them "Papaburger" at home because my dad usually makes them, but LK's homemade variant is also very good.

Hi! Thank you very much for writing a story for me!

Some things I like:
* I love friendship/team fic. Characters who grow to like each other, trust each other, and eventually would do many things for each other, yes please. Especially when in the beginning they're in slightly different positions/places/etc. and their friendship is rather unexpected.
* Related to that, navigating relationships. Could be platonic or romantic partners: how do they deal with daily life, how do they solve conflicts, how do they support and comfort each other at the end of the day?
* Worldbuilding! How do things work? Both on a large scale and the mundane details. I love to learn about a world's politics, economics, cultural details, even administration and bureaucracy.
* Plot is great. Stories where they stay at home and play boardgames are also great. 5-things/times-fic is fun. I like stories that span an hour and stories that span years.

Things I don't like for Yuletide:
* Stories with an unhappy ending. Some unhappy elements are fine if the general outlook is optimistic, but nothing extremely dark, please (torture, rape, abuse…)
* Stories focused on explicit sex
* Complete AUs, i.e. coffeeshop AU etc. I love the canon worlds of all these fandoms so I'd prefer to read fic taking place there. Canon-divergent AUs are fine, or canon-with-small-details-changed.

Have fun! The prompts below are just guidelines, I hope they help you think of ideas.

1) The Young Protectors (webcomic)

2) Galaxy Quest (1999)

3) Vorkosigan Saga – Lois McMaster Bujold

Someone on Tumblr was asking for recs for LGBTQ-friendly comics and one mentioned was The Young Protectors (very imaginative name...) I read it this evening and enjoyed it a lot.

I like the characters and their relationships with each other, what little we so far saw of the world, the plot so far, and the art is nice, too. At first I was very skeptical about some aspects, but there's a big plot twist (that I saw coming but not the shape it took) that was the moment the comic went from something I read one evening because I was bored to something that I'm very interested in and want to see a lot more of.
The comic updates 1-2 times weekly. It took me about two hours to read the archive, so it's a nice length but not too long yet, and there's a lot more to come :)
(No fic on AO3 yet, bäh.)
