 So I saw X men: First Class last week.

It wasn't perfect. I did enjoy it a lot, but not as much as I enjoyed Graham Norton * with Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Hugh Jackman sitting on the same couch (with the English Eurovision Song Contest entry, Molly) teasing each other about fanart of Fassbender and McAvoy baking cookies.

While I'm on the X-men wagon, here's a link to my very favourite X-men comic ever, Faith Erin Hicks' 11-page Wolverine comic pitch. Wolverine fights ninjas and bitches about the kids stealing his Canadian eggs.   

I don't care what anyone else says, I can taste the difference...

 Back from holiday and ready to dive back into work and fandom. I love the internet (seriously, what did we do without it) but it's great to have a couple of weeks lived solely in real life.

My fic Resurgam (Batman Begins) has been translated into Russian by Riddle_TM at AO3. If you speak Russian, go read it over here.

I've signed up for the remix_11 AO3 challenge-though not without some problems. Eligibility for a fandom is determined by five stories of 500 words or over or seven stories of 100 words or over in a list of prespecified fandoms. (sadly not including Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed or Final Fantasy) This excluded a good portion of my fic (seriously , how can only ONE of my three sentence stories be over 100 words) but I just scraped in with Dragon Age, a fandom for which I have written six stories, including two big bangs of over 25,000 words. I can only apologise to my recipient. Signups close today over here 

Games: still pirating with AC4

Books: just finished MK Hobson's Native Star series (would highly recommend) and I'm looking forwards to reading Max Gladstone's Three Parts Dead about which I've heard great things.

News: Looks like the new AC game is set in the French Revolution. Time to reread Dylan Meconis' webcomic Bite Me!

How to Make Me Not Read Your Fantasy Novel

1/Make the first female character in the book a slaughtered nun 'ripped open from neck to cervix'

2/Have the second female character be a prostitute.

While I'm at it, anyone who hasn't yet heard of the ongoing SFWA shenanigans regarding Theodore Beale/Vox Day's racist, sexist and all around WTF?response to NK Jemison's Guest of Honour speech at Continuuum should go read Amal El Mohtar's blog post 'Calling For the Expulsion of Theodore Beale from SFWA' here. And Jemison's graceful response here.

I am not and never will be eligible for SFWA membership, but the thought that 10% of SFWA voted for Beale in the recent presidential elections makes me feel ashamed for fandom as a whole.

Be warned: the rant it will make you feel dirty. But one must know her enemy, after all.
