- Why does the elevator at work smell like pickles?

- Why hasn't anyone done a Torchwood vid to Rilo Kiley's A Better Son or Daughter?

- I am going to look at the coat in a few hours. It's amazing what I can deduce about someone from a ten minute conversation. Sometimes, I wish I knew less about the world. I'll tell you the whole story (which is likely to get weirder) after I've bought the thing or I've determined it's not the coat.

- I am going crazy for Sam to post chapter 3 of his new fic. I like Sam's work and am often moved by it, but it doesn't tend to eat my head. This fic however -- holy shit. I'm wondering if he's going to give us flashbacks to when they retconned Ianto, and what those last 24 ours leading up to that was like. Everytime I think about it my brain responds which such an intense sent of conflicting signals on it, I'm in awe.

- schpahky sent me a replacement copy of Shark Attack 3: Megalodon. It feels like a good luck charm (just as, oddly, the initial gift from hofnarr did).

- I may create a filter for my academic and perhaps wanky thoughts about fandom. So not my little "Dear TW Fandom" tirades, but some thinking outloud about power dynamics in fandom. If you want in, if I decide to do it, let me know. I'm thinking of writing something about a weird power dynamic thing I've noticed, but I need to hear myself think outside the echo chamber of my own head without calling down a shitstorm as I look for the right language.

Power dynamics in fandom is fascinating. Please do, and please include me.

The Pickle Problem.

Oh, someone must be making a Lucas-esque short, The Triumph of the Dill.

Sign me up for the filter if you do it :) (Though I doubt I'll ever get into Doctor Who or Torchwood, I'd still like to read).

[rufus.livejournal.com]

count me in for the academic filter.

also, I'm really glad you got a new Shark Attack.

[maryling.livejournal.com]

In on the filter, please?

[sylvertongue.livejournal.com]

I'd be very interested in that filter.

May I be on your academic fandom thoughts filter?

[eac.livejournal.com]

I would be interested in your filter.

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

Filter, please? Fandom as an entity is relatively new to me and I am still frequently surprised by conventions and workings (and often surprisingly oblivious to lots of it until something/someone brings it up), and I think your academic-type thoughts would be very interesting.

Please let me in the 'academic' and 'wanky thoughts about fandom' filters if you would? I am still here, reading avidly and feeling great sympathy for the break-in. I have not been writing so much, but I am still here.

A Better Song or Daughter is an amazing song. Gotta love RK.

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

I can use all the academic and wanky thoughts on fandom I can get, put me on the filter please.

Either someone dropped a jar of pickles or the cleaning staff use the 'green' and cheap cleaner - white vinegar solution in water (or maybe they use 'leftover pickle vinegar in water'?).

With respect to the filter, I like to read anything intelligently written and love how you write - about anything/everything.

Ugh. Now I sound like a creepy stalker or something!

I'd like to be on that filter please. After the crazy drama that was/is the Dr. Who fandom I told myself I would avoid TW "fandom" hahaha! You cannot avoid fandom on the internet. I'm lucky I have non-dramatic TW fans on my flist.

Please include me on the filter?
