(Going back to school next week for my last semester as an undergraduate. I'm kinda sad we only got a three-week break this time around. Usually, it's a month. What happened to that, school? Huh??? I'd like to be able to go to graduate school, but that's more of a "someday" for now--my parents are on pins & needles enough as it is for me to graduate and get a job already. I know what most of you are thinking: my parents do not have to live my life for me so if I want to go to graduate school, I should be able to, but yeah, no. It's a bit more complicated then that at the moment. My parents are the practical, wise folks while I'm off with my head in the clouds dreaming of reading poetry all day long, or getting a BA in English, it amounts to the same thing for them in the end.)

Fandom Snowflake Challenge - Day 7

In your own space, create a fanwork. A drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. A picspam. Something. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

So I started writing this piece of meta a long time ago, and then it just languished in my drafts folder, uncompleted for the longest time. I don't even remember now what prompted me to write it in the first place? LOL, A+ self. But I wanted to finish it up finally, and publish it somewhere, even if I still have no idea how to write meta. Or if this really is meta. And then this challenge came along, and it's forcing me to finally complete it and spruce it up for public consumption. Anyways, have some Louis Litt feels and thoughts. (I really didn't foresee loving him as much as I do all the other main characters, but I do. Also, though I'm up to s3, this only takes into account seasons 1-2.)

Fandom Snowflake Challenge - Day 3

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser-known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom who maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.

(This was kinda hard too, as I tend to only read fics on Ao3 nowadays and I find a lot of stuff via recs and lists I find floating around, but I love these three and keep finding myself re-reading them often.)

What TV shows did you start watching in 2013?
Almost Human, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Sleepy Hollow, Haven, started properly watching Hawaii Five-0 from the first season, Star Trek the Original Series, Star Trek Deep Space Nine, Power Rangers R.P.M, Power Rangers Jungle Fury, Power Rangers Samurai, Go On, Jeeves & Wooster, and Green Lantern the Animated Series.

What TV show did you let go of in 2013?
Once Upon a Time and The Vampire Diaries. The former because I don't really much care for the Peter Pan story arc--but I might have to get back into it solely for Ariel and Tinkerbell (who's being played by a former Power Ranger!!! And one of my favorites!!! eeeee!!!) and if they ever officially make Mulan/Aurora A Thing. The latter because I've gotten sick of it; it's declined in quality--not that it was ever anything more than a high school soap opera but the mysteries and world-building and twists kept it pretty balanced.

Which TV show did you mean to get into in 2013 but didn't? Why?
Possibly One Tree Hill--got up to almost finishing s3 on my proper watch before I stopped because I didn't have Netflix anymore but now I have it again so I have no idea why I didn't get back into it. Well, actually the why is that there was no time and SO MUCH OTHER SHOWS TO WATCH. And Legend of Korra (I um I only got six episodes in before I stopped for some reason? And never started up again?)

What TV show do you intend to check out in 2014?
Hmm, maybe Nikita? I've been meaning to check out that show forever who remembers that 90's La Femme Nikita show? no? just me? carry on then.
Reign? Though I did catch a couple of scenes and it looks interesting mainly because it features a female lead but the triangle would probably turn me off. Witches of East Wick. And How I Met Your Mother (from the beginning). Oh and Scandal. Orphan Black. Orange is the New Black. Veep. Husbands. Legend of the Seeker. Helix, if only to try it out but it might border too much on the "horror" scale for me (but Billy Campbell!). Arrow. Chuck. Maybe get into Supernatural again. Merlin. White Collar. Fringe. Lost Girl. Prison Break. Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Killer Women. And my Netflix keeps recommending I watch The Elephant Princess.

What TV show impressed you least in 2013?
So far--Beauty and the Beast.

What show did you enjoy most in 2013?
I enjoy pretty much all the media I consume (even sometimes problematic things that make me angry which is kinda weird). That being said, here's a short list: Parks and Rec, Castle, Psych, Green Lantern: The Animated Series, Eureka, Elementary, Sleepy Hollow, Almost Human, Warehouse 13, and Go On.

- Bold all of the following TV shows of which you've seen 3 or more episodes.
- Italicize a show if you're positive you've seen every episode.
- Asterisk * if you have at least one full season on tape, DVD, or blu ray.
- If you want, add up to 3 additional shows (keep the list in alphabetical order).

( the tv meme i've been seeing everywhere )

(How's this question different from the crushes question, meme? Whatever, I tend to conflate "sexy" with "omg, I'm crushing on this person" though I know maybe the two categories are different for other people? And sure there are some sexy people who are assholes, but the assholery tends to overshadow the sexiness for me.)
