IKR? I was wondering what has happenned with that comm, mods seemed to have stopped caring a little. I offered some suggestions but whether anybody will respond, I've been really wanting some more discussions to get going on there and stuff but I'm too nervous to start a post, and don't really know what to post about hahaha.

MORE LIKE MAGIC REVEAL BY S4 EP 2 PLEASE AND THEN A WHOLE SEASON OF ANGST/FORGIVENESS/MORE CLOSENESS ETC ETC.

Of couse I get sick in the Summer, OF COURSE.

Urgh summer colds are the worst!! I feel for you. :(

Yeah, they seem to have stopped trying. I mean, I can understand that, but it's disappointing, it was the only place (at least on my comm list) where you could go for discussion. I love it when my friends have discussions in their journals and all but sometimes you want to see more people's opinions and maybe make some new friends.

Sherlock? In that, I loved the show [...] and the characters but I don't want to read fic about them.

I am so glad that I'm not the only one. I tried...but not happening.

I hope you feel better from whatever ailment is ailing you.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't know what it is exactly, but I just have zero interest. Maybe because I don't find the leads sexually attractive? Or because I can't see Sherlock as a sexual person, much less someone who would fall in love? IDK.

KYLIE MAE! oh, Kylie Mae! I feel like I haven't seen you in forever, even though I've never seen you and even though it hasn't been forever. I CAN'T HELP MY HEART ACHING FOR YOU, KYLIE MAE. ;;___;;

I didn't know you listened to Perfume Genius! you know who's one of his related artists on Last.fm? Former Ghosts..and you know who's related to Former Ghosts? PARENTHETICAL GIRLS. I'm just sayin', ya know, to say things, cause I like to say things sometimes. gonna leave that piece of information right there.

I am sorry for your sickness. I will send you healthy vibes! those raspy voices people get when they're losing their voice are so fun and sexy though. LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

I DID MISS YOU AN AWFUL LOT, LADY.

[openmoments.livejournal.com]

Where is this party AND HOW DO I GET THERE?!

Awww. I love how in love you are with Merlin. IT MAKES MY LITTLE FANGIRL HEART SO HAPPY! ♥

And Hadestown WAS SO GOOD! Except I have a new computer and it's not on it. :( And I don't remember where I downloaded it from. WOEWOEWOE!!

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

I'LL PIMP IT IN MY JOURNAL WHEN IT GOES LIVE XDDD

I love Merlin so, so much. Even when it's bad!

We talked about it briefly and if I remember correctly, I think you got it from indie_exchange!

[openmoments.livejournal.com]

SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN, BB!

HOW CAN YOU NOT?! That's what I'd like to know. Besides, there's always something good about it. Always. :)

Probably did. I just dread going through and trying to find it now. :\

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

The tagging system isn't the greatest, is it?

[openmoments.livejournal.com]

No, it's not. I searched last night for a good hour and still couldn't find what I was looking for. I am SO not impressed. Grrr.

Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year? Sherlock? In that, I loved the show (except ep 2) and the characters but I don't want to read fic about them.

Yes yes yes! I just don't get why! :( I was so enthusiastic about it at first, and there sure are a lot of talented writers writing for it, and I have really tried- I'm sort of addicted to podfics (am commuting for 4 h each day after all...) and there are a lot of (awesome) podficcers that record for that fandom- but it's just not working.

The strange thing is that I have dabbled in Sherlock Holmes fandom in the past, the original stories, and there I can easily ship it. My brain make no sense.

GOD, IF THIS DOESNT HAPPEN... This may my biggest anticipation for the New Year period...

Good Omens is awesome and that fandom is awesome! If you, like me, feel like going on a fic-reading binge after finishing the book, this list is pretty great :) RECS: Crowley/Aziraphale [Good Omens] (http://community.livejournal.com/cookingwithpain/2490.html)

Hope you get well soon! <3

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

I don't get it either, we just must be odd little duckies! I want to believe it's because Sherlock is such a complex character and I don't want fluffy love fics to taint my image of him, but it's probably a more shallow reason, like, I don't want to bone Cumberbatch or Freeman. Pfft.

This may my biggest anticipation for the New Year period...

HA, yeah, I think I'd have to agree. I mean, unlike a lot of people, I've always been okay with waiting for the reveal, it's a simple family show and the premise has always been ~keep the magic secret~ and that's fine. But I feel they'd be losing out on some prime tv by not having an AT LEAST few-episodes-long story arc revolving around the reveal and the aftermath and seeing as how they've always said they wanted five seasons, s4 finale is the perfect time for a cliffhanger reveal and half s5 aftermath, before the final half of s5 is devoted to everything else they need to tie up - Arthur's kingship, A/G mariage, Merlin becoming Arthur's advisor, etc. I HOPE THIS IS BASICALLY THEIR THINKING TOO.

Thank you so much for that link, I will definitely check things out!

I don't want to read fic about them

BUT WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY???? D:

Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?

WHEN ALL THE BRADLEY/COLIN FIC WRITERS DISAPPEARED.

I hope you feel better soon, bb!
And at least if you're sick people will leave you alone and give you more time to read fic! *finds the silver lining* ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

I don't knoooow, I'm happy to believe it's because my heart is too full of A/M B/C love though XD

WHEN ALL THE BRADLEY/COLIN FIC WRITERS DISAPPEARED

UGH YES, come baaaack, guys!

Yeeesss pretty much! I mean, I don't like, seek it out or anything unless someone recs a fic as a SHINING DIAMOND OF WONDEFULNESS. Or it's one that fayjay/pandarus podfics, but I would basically listen to her narrate a documentary about amoeba anyway.

:( AND OMG NOOO, SUMMER SICKNESS IS THE WORST. IT'S LIKE "WOT ARE YOU DOING HERE, GTFO, CAN'T YOU SEE THE SUN IS SHINING ALL BEAUTIFUL AND GOLDEN AND WARM YOU INFECTIOUS MOTHERFUCKERS".

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly, I've read fics athat people have rec'd to me, and they're good and all but I just have no interest in searching for more.

AS IF I WASN'T HOT ENOUGH, BEING THAT IT IS SUMMER AND THIS IS AUSTRALIA, I HAVE A TEMPERATURE AS WELL. GTFO FLU, I DO NOT WANT YOU. PS. GIVE ME BACK MY VOICE, I WANT TO SING CHRISSY SONGS.

[sheswatching.livejournal.com]

MEEEERLINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN :D

I was cleaning so I missed the B/C fest, but I'll head over there once I've caught up on my flist and leave nice comments! :D

...Summer? :o

[kylezy.livejournal.com]

YES SUMMER. I come from the land down under!
