I had a delightful lunch with carmen_sandiego today, and we spent some time discussing the fact that we never ~talk about TV on LJ anymore, the way we used to. (We have both been using the internet for approx. forever, and recall when you used to turn on the internet with a hand crank and use LJ to post reactions to TV episodes as they aired on cable.)

Anyway. It made me nostalgic, and so: some thoughts on television.

1) IDK if you guys remember when I flipped out over Camelot, AKA the new Starz TV series about King Arthur, if King Arthur was a blonde surfer who inexplicably believed in ~democracy~ and ~governing for the people~ even though this is feudal England. COSTARRING: EVA GREEN AND HER CRAZY EYES AND HER GRATUITOUS CRAZY NUDITY.

The pilot aired a few months ago, but the series is actually ~airing in earnest now, and I just saw episode 2. Which I kind of totally loved, if only for ( spoilers )

Also, they are really making excellent use of, um. We're going to say "costumes," but it's possible that I actually mean "heaving bosoms."


2) I have pretty much powered through all of Community. Fine, whatever internet, I GET IT. BRITTA PERRY IS A HOTASS. As always when I finish a series with a girl in it, I want there to be fic. Especially the kind of fic where Britta hooks up with Annie and they secretly date for like MONTHS without anyone else knowing, and Britta turns out to be kind of a secret romantic and Annie is kind of a freak in the sack and IDK, every hypothetical f/f scenario I come up with these days ends with buying a kitten together, so maybe that happens as well. Not that I have anything specific in mind, or anything.

I know a bunch of you gave me some Britta/Annie recs a couple weeks ago, but if anyone has more, THIS IS THE PLACE TO LET ME KNOW.


3) Other things I am pondering include: mirroring my journal on DW. I feel weird about mirroring my LJ, because I don't really like the DW interface, and do not know of an easy way to crosspost to DW from LJ. I also find the DW communities shockingly sparse and poorly-read, and don't feel super about that.

Also, mirroring my fic on AO3. Pros: I enjoy it as a way to find fic in fandoms I don't know, vs. begging for recs/wading through comms, and want to support that in a vague sort of way. Cons: god, I find the kudos system irritating, even though I appreciate and respect the accessibility concerns that led to it. Also, having to c/p every single story I've ever written (HOLY SHIT THERE ARE A LOT) by hand.
