icarusancalion: spare our eyes and DO NOT use STUPID SPARKLY FONTS and WEIRD CUSTOM LAYOUTS, people.
+ I don't get dogs. I adore them, don't get me wrong, but what is *up* with them eating everything under the sun? Have you *ever* seen a self-respecting cat eat *cabbage*?
+ I was watching BSG 2.13, and I'm ashamed to say that I giggled when Roslin had a seizure. Thank you, House. But otherwise this was an interesting episode. I'm glad Roslin's not dying anymore, because she's too awesome to die. I'd like to see her interact with Sharon now. Baltar baffles me. What is *up* with him? What does he *want*? Did he just send a frakking nuclear warhead to Pegasus!Six? WTF? Pegasus!Six is v.hot, BTW.
+ I was browsing through my past entries, and look what I found: reaction after watching House 1.1. I wrote: I saw House. Hugh Laurie is disturbingly hot. I don't generally enjoy medical shows (because of the very annoying patient-doctor interactions. you know, the parts were the doctor lectures the patient and gives him Will to Live etc. there was some of it in this ep as well), but considering how much time I spent today thinking about people I'd ship House with (Wilson. because they are so married. Cuddy. the snark. *and* she's his boss) and laughing over lines like "Oxygen is so important during those pre-pubescent years, don't you think?", I'll probably watch some more of this show. Hee.
+ And since we are reminiscing, let me tell you about another thing that I was thinking about today: badfic. That is, the first time I became aware that I was *reading* badfic. See, I found fandom after reading GOF in 2000 - I was going *crazy* waiting for OotP, and I needed something. Anything. And then I found ff.net. And I started reading fic. Fifth year fic. I devoured novel-length fanversions of OotP, loving everything to *pieces*. Till I read this one where Harry was emo and depressed and there was a lot of CAPSLOCK (at least the author was right about this part!), and there was a lot of crying. And Harry cutting himself. And there was a scene where Harry cries and Sirius cries and Remus cries and they hug each other and cry together. This was when I had that moment of recognition, wherein I realised that something was off with this story. I wasn't sure *what*, at that time, except that it didn't seem like something they would do.
Do you remember the first time you read badfic and *knew* it was bad?

Initially, I didn't realise what was bad, lol! Those were the days of innocence. *sigh*
The first time I really came across badfic was as a beta for, um, an online beta-reading service (not named because it wasn't its fault that it was used by the worst writers in the world).
FAP? I've beta'd there. And I know what you mean. *g*
I knew HL before House, and I always thought of him as That Tall and Slightly Odd-looking British Guy. Till House, and suddenly he was hot. So hot. *fans self*
