Fandom Squee Day 17: Teen Wolf

[guineamania.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the delay, it's been a real busy day! Today it is Teen Wolf :)

So I am a little behind as I have only seen the beginning of the latest season but I really really need to catch up! I'm really sad that it is coming to a close but I do believe that the show has run it's course.
Stiles is probably my favourite character but I also really like Derek.

So what do you guys think? Favourite seasons? What things just didn't work for you? I want to hear it all!

Fandom Squee Day 18: Black Sails (TV)

[guineamania.livejournal.com]

Now, for those of you how know me quite well on here, you will know that I love pirates. I mean if I was given the change to go back in time and sail the high seas then I would take it in a heartbeat.
Which leads us onto my favourite TV Show at the moment ... BLACK SAILS!

Now it took me a while to convince myself to watch this because I love Treasure Island and I didn't want one of the films of my childhood to be ruined. However there was only so long I could hold on for. I am so glad I did cave; it is a cast of people I had never heard off headed by Prince John from Robin Hood.

Sorry tangent, but the character portrayals and plot is fabulous. It's dark, there is a lot of death and sex in it but the story flows around those elements and they make it feel more real.
I love Long John Silver (the cliffhanger is still killing me); he's such an annoying little brat only looking for himself but he grows to care and it is such a sweet progression.

I did prefer him without the beard though but I guess it makes him look more intimidating.

Season 3 is in January and I cannot wait :D How about you?

Hi all.

I hope it's OK to post this here. If you can help me, please reply.

The only muse I can currently hear clearly is for Blue Bloods. I am a Jamie/Edie shipper. As every JAMKO fan knows we have all been squee-ing loudly since last week's kiss. I have written most of a coda FF for Personal Business but would love for somebody to review it. Those two kids did not go willingly into the bedroom. I want to make sure it's not too contrived so I'd really prefer help from somebody who watches the show. But at this point, anybody who can spell & has a clue about what descent dialogue sounds like would be a blessing.

In a effort to relocate my H50 muse I signed up for Swap of Joy. Haldoor then informed me I am required to have a beta. Anybody wanna help out a McDanno lover?

Thanks in advance for any assist.

Word Wars Postponed

[craterdweller.livejournal.com]

Sorry folks, I'm not feeling up to hosting a word wars tonight. Sorry for the late notice, but I was really hoping that I'd be feeling better by the time I got home from work.

I'm up for trying again tomorrow (7am Pacific) - headache permitting. Or, you guys can always have one on your own.

Apologies once again.
