Title: Gus's Epiphany
Author: ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) wavingcat5
Prompt: Yes Gus, there is a Santa Claus
Notes: The library won't let me grab a Linds-Mel icon. Waaah! I've been on the road for 2 days, spent 5 hours beside the highway with the 2 little ones, waiting for assistance, and I'm in a library to post this so I'll be slow to do comments! I can't keep away from this place ^__^

| Introduction plus a question about Fetch Dickson and Queer Guy |
[Dec. 22nd, 2009|10:45 am] |
Hello! I am very new to the QAF fandom. I only saw the series for the first time in October. There was a brief period of time when I could watch the full episodes on a website in China. Sadly, they are no longer accessible.
Anyway, I have been searching for some time for a community that is still having in-depth discussions about the show, for many have been closed or inactive for a while. I am glad that I found you!
I really enjoy reading post-513 fic, and I have been kind of working on my own. As I develop my storylines, I sometimes wrestle with how to resolve problems that I have with canon, such as the crazy timeline.
One problem I have is that I find it very unrealistic that a t.v. station would hire a recent gay porn star to be their "Queer Guy." Based on what I have read on various websites, I am far from alone in feeling this way.
How, then, do you deal with this when writing about Emmett? Do you pretend that Fetch Dickson never existed? Do you pretend that QAF takes place in a universe where t.v. stations have no problem hiring former porn stars?
Has anyone written a story where this did become an issue for Emmett... like someone sent videos of Fetch Dickson to channel five news? Or maybe a new boyfriend didn't realize at first that Emmett was once a porn star?
Would strangers recognize Emmett as Fetch, or Queer Guy, or both?

Title: Visitation
Author: vl_redreign
Prompt: Solstice
Notes: Only one tonight, I'm afraid. Long ago, it was decided by my fellow bitchesofbritin that South was my corner to call. I'm a Fire element, according to them. callie89 made this icon for me, I thought I'd use it tonight.
The night was cold and clear, the snowstorm having moved north.
On Liberty Avenue, lights glowed from businesses, and people walked slowly, almost contemplatively. Greetings and holiday wishes were shouted back and forth.
Brian and Justin shared dinner and quips with Jennifer and Molly.
Ted and Blake were sitting together, listening to Verdi.
In Toronto, Gus was sneaking most of his underwear back out of his bag.
When he fell asleep, Lindsay put them back.
Ben explained various Solstice traditions to Michael and Hunter.
Debbie and Emmett shared ice cream and watched old movies.
Vic smiled down upon them all. |

| metafandom and its discontents |
[Dec. 20th, 2009|10:33 pm] |
There's been a big discussion going on in Greater Fandom over the community/asylum ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) metafandom, which puts out a list of links to interesting meta discussions across all the journaling sites every few days.
Nutshell: They aren't linking to much meta lately. Why?
I found a lot of interesting people to follow by reading metafandom, and read some truly thought-provoking discussions. And I used to submit my stuff to them from time to time, and they would link to it, which I enjoyed.
But the last three or four times I submitted a link, either mine or someone else's, either QAF-specific or "big picture" fandom meta, it was just ignored. I never knew if they just didn't like it, or didn't get it, or what the problem was.
I have nothing profound to add. I just assumed its moderators were in an echo chamber and didn't want minor fandoms, or maybe just didn't care for what I had to say, or possibly that moderator interest had waned and people's submissions were not being looked at anymore. I'm not an insider in that world and honestly can't say what happened, or why, or really, even when.
But I do miss how it used to be, and miss seeing my stuff get linked to. I hope all this discussion results in a more diverse and vibrant metafandom experience for us all.ETA: Just checked, and the last post of mine linked to from metafandom was last April... this one. |

| IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT |
[Dec. 20th, 2009|11:49 am] |
I have changed my default icon to reflect my obsession with both Brian and Justin and the giddy gloriousness that is the holidays the season. |

[Dec. 20th, 2009|08:14 am] |
I really really think someone, or multiple someones ought to write a fic or drabble inspired by this icon.
In case you have bad eyes it says: "Later, Brian blamed the spiked office party punch. And Justin." |

| Lunch and shopping in San Francisco |
[Dec. 19th, 2009|09:12 pm] |
I met up with the lovely xie_xie_xie today for a lovely lunch and afternoon of shopping today.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to find an ankle-length skirt!?!? IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
Xie needed a new lipstick, so we trekked to Neiman-Marcus, where I watched her "get her makeup did." A lot of fun, actually, and the salesgirl was so effing cute. I wanted to stick her in my purse, but some people consider that kidnapping.
We wandered upstairs, still in search of the eleusive ALS, and walked right into heaven.
HEAVEN, I tell you!!!
For just ahead, in all its red-soled splendor, was the Christian Louboutin display.
See these?
OMGSQUEE!!!!
I touched these, and had a quiet, dignified, tasteful spontaneous orgasm. I did, ask Xie!!!
She dragged me away from there, at which time I performed unnatural acts on pairs of Stella McCartney's, Stuart Weitzman's and Manolo Blahniks. As we were leaving, I touched the Louboutins once more. I'm sure they winked at me.
We finally found what I was looking for at Forever 21. Come Christmas, I will post pics of our most excellent finds.
All in all, a wonderful day, with absolutely insanely gorgeous weather (mid 60's!! EYE NOES, RIGHT!?!?), considering that when I left home, it was foggy.
Now I have to think up some drabbles for tonight's prompt at qaf_drabbles. Come check out the Gusmas Drabble Challenge!! |
