Patron Saint of Falling Over Things

Argh, right at the start of 3 Weeks for Dreamwidth is not a good time to have an episode of being unable to post... Something that isn't helping is all the weird and wanky undercurrents about how cross-posting to LJ is, like, totally forbidden during this time. Crosspost if you want. Don't crosspost if you don't want. Don't beat up on people who do the opposite of what you think is right. It's creeping perilously close to bullying on both sides, and that makes me a sad panda.

Hi to the new people from various friending memes! *waves* Will probably do an intro post next. I am excited about getting to know you all, but I'm having one of those communication block thingies. It might take me a bit of time to build up to commenting.

What is cool? Let's review in point form:

- inkstone's Small Fandom Friending Meme! There's a Twin Peaks thread here that could do with some loving, IJS.

- philedom, which I have belatedly realised is not a stamp-collecting community but an X-Files community (misxed it up with philately!) is having fandom olympics, which as far as I can tell, is hilariously like a treasure hunt.

- twinpeaks, for we fans who take our coffee black like Agent Cooper, and who like to dance like the Man from Another Place. It's new! Come, join us! Right now, it's just me and my cousin, and doesn't she look almost exactly like Laura Palmer? (heartequals isn't really my cousin, but how often do you get to use that quote?)

- yifu's Writers Friending Meme, for writers of all kinds.

- last_writes is a multi-fandom vampire community, and they're kicking off a friending meme here, which I really need to add myself to.

- lunarwolfik's Doctor Who Comment Fic fest. This was heaps of fun last year, and with Who just starting up, I'm hoping it will be awesome this year, too. (And hopefully, now that I've cracked the drought on commenting, I might be able to leave some prompts, too.)

- such_heights has a Female Character Trope Fest. This is huge and awesome, people! Go fill a prompt, there's one for everyone.

- torachan has round two of the Transfic Mini-Fest, another one I remember from last year's 3W4DW, lots of propmts to be claimed there.

You can also keep an eye on three_weeks_for_dw, for the latest 3W4DW news, or watch the Latest Things page. I just went there for the link, and it's currently full of Medieval Sims! So adorable. I am currently a Sims Medieval widow. There used to be this chick? In my life? But now it's mostly "Why doesn't my wizard have a bed?" and "Are you eating gruel AGAIN?!" *snorts*

*eyes post* That seems substantial... Now, back to the big bang. (I have 11K, people! And what's that, about 6 or 7K off in the distance? Could that be the end?)

lilacsigil and I were just having a chat, as you do, about whether Jason Stryker is the same age as the rest of the X-Men (as fanon would have it) or if he's older. This has relevance to my au_bigbang, because I've written Scott, Jean, Ororo, Jason and Robert Chase as the same age. In the movie, the actor looks a lot older.

Me: Never mind, I'll hand wave that away.
lilacsigil: *makes an elegant gesture with one hand, as if dismissing her butler*
Me: Is that how you hand wave?
lilacsigil: Yes? How do you hand wave?
Me: *makes wibbly wobbly wavy movements with both hands* You know, like on TV land when you're slipping into a flashback, and it goes all wavy. Like you're slipping into the fanon universe. And it goes ooooo-eeeee-ooooo!
lilacsigil: *looks confused*
Me: I will ask the internet!



I'm not crossposting this! *waves the Dreamwidth flag*
