You know, it scares me when I have to say that comparatively, DW/TW/SJA fandom is so sane, but it is, especially in comparison to the antics over in Supernatural fandom ("let's send RPS to the actors" and "let's call security on the actors' gfs") and now SGA fandom (poor bastard). Of course, I know not to tar whole fandoms with the crazy brush, and I'm sure it will be my poor little fandom's turn soon, but perhaps, oh perhaps, we will heed these cautionary tales of batshittery. At least our bad boundary stuff has mostly happened in private. Christ.

Saw the SyFy name change ads on the bus this morning. STILL WRONG.

Forgot to mention I saw the preview for the new Trek when we saw Watchmen the other day. It looks AWESOME.

Orson Scott Card has joined the board of NOM or 2M4M or whatever the anti-gay marriage gathering storm bigots are calling themselves this week. No, I'm not surprised. And at this point, one can hardly even be disappointed. But I am, just a little, because at a given point you just run out of ways to boycott the work of someone that objectionable. That's right, I'm annoyed because I can't find a way to reject Card and his work enough.

Working my butt off. Lots of wacky freelance writing and deadlines for the Germans. In limbo on various creative/criticism projects. Fighting pothos.

Woo! Hey, got a CoT nomination for that Jack/Andy/Ianto porn I wrote the other day. Meanwhile, trying to finish a ton of small stories and feeling increasingly dubious I will make the Tardis Big Bang deadline. IHNIIHBT and one of its installments (The Most Beautiful Girl in the World) also won some other awards a couple of days ago. Yay.

Patty, still in Atlanta. Cool things there yesterday, but for her to tell.

I think I will start turning his books upside down and backwards in the racks and muttering, "Isn't he always going on about gay marriage? Writes a lot about young boys, too..." whenever I see someone looking at them.

Back in the 80s, I read a lot of his work, and I defy anyone to read Songmaster and to not become certain that he has big whomping issues about homosexuality and especially about pubescent boys. I'm fairly certain that the inside of that man's head is a deeply scary place.

Oh goddess, I had totally forgotten Songmaster. shudder
