rmSince there's been a recent influx, here's the "ask random questions" post. If you've got a question for me (whether you're new here or not), feel free. No topic is off-topic.
Meanwhile, for the people involved in the hyphenated-American conversation (or the Florida doctor experimenting on pregnant women to prevent "gender inappropriate" behavior in girls) -- LJ isn't emailing me my comments today. I'm sort of trying to keep up, but am actually pretty lost. I hope you all are getting comments though or having fun amongst yourselves or something. I'll catch up soon.
Finally, for those who aren't here for the ranting and the politics but for the porn: I've figured out the Jack/Ianto long BDSM fic I"ve threatened to write. So yeah. Probably won't touch it until after Bristol. But writing it, yes.
Now, dinner time, and Patty and I have some Buffy to watch.

Date: 2010-07-01 01:38 am (UTC)Is Torchwood the same as the more recent Dr. Who series? If not, what's the difference? I mean, I suppose I could Just Fucking Google It, but I haven't yet and here you are asking to be asked questions, so here I am stretching for questions to ask.
Why are you watching Buffy and Angel so long after they've gone off the air?
What's next?

Date: 2010-07-01 01:54 am (UTC)Torchwood is a spinoff series from Doctor Who, much like the Sarah Jane Adventures except for grownups, so lots of sex and death.
Amazingly, I never saw Buffy and Angel when they aired, but my partner is really into them, so we've been watching. Part of this is because she has to put up with so much chatter about my fandoms, part of this is because I needed to see them for the Bristol paper.
And that's what's next. I leave for the UK in a week to present this thing on fan reactions to character deaths at an academic conference. Which is pretty rad considering my academic credentials are a 15+-year-old BA in Journalism and my own, "kids, let put on a show" attitude.

Date: 2010-07-01 02:06 am (UTC)So make sure you know of the justification Amber Benson gave for not appearing in the season 7 episode Conversations With Dead People. It's worth Googling.

2. Do you know Girlyman? (The band, not "do you know girlymen".) I have a reason for asking.

Oh!

Date: 2010-07-01 02:27 am (UTC)I hope this doesn't sound offensive, but is there a reason you write slash and not femmeslash? I'm asking because I'm a big fan of your stories, but I don't think I've ever seen you slash females. Maybe I've missed it, or maybe there's a reason?
Also, my friend was asking me why I read slash when I am not attracted to men. Is it reasonable to say I find something erotic, but I myself would not like to partake in the activities I'm reading about?
Also, finally, can I friend you?
P.S. I am recently out of the closet as well as recently into fandom, so I apologize in advance if any of this is offensive. I don't have a very good internet voice, so things don't always come out like I mean them too :)

Date: 2010-07-01 02:53 am (UTC)And sure. What turns our crank on the page often doesn't in real life. It's true of all sorts of stuff like kinks and even narratives that in life would really not be our thing. I think various flesh configurations count too.
And sure. Friend away! I mostly only yell when people aren't trying.
