I write fan fiction because I CAN.

I realise this must be a difficult concept for some pro-authors to grasp, but people who write fan fiction are in fact people who buy their books. Which, sometimes, are rather expensive (usually always if it's an English-language book, where I am. for a variety of reasons). And when you annoy your potential/buyers, do you know what happens? They no longer pay for your books, that's what happens. There is a reason why the HP fandom is one of the biggest fan fiction producers out there.

I wonder what Terry Goodkind might think of LoTS fen writing 'LoTS (bookverse)' fan fiction, ahaha! I still think the evil chicken should have featured on the show. B would have done a wonderful job with it.

So, who's excited for 'Unbroken'? Here, look at pretty pictures of Cara having feelings and Kahlan being a good, supportive girlfriend.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

please do not expect coherence under cut )

Someday I'll catch up with the rest of my fandoms. Today is not that day.

As promised, a Late but nonetheless Proper Fangirl Response to Seeker 2.19, Extinction. Or rather, a love letter to Cara's character arc and C/K. I should warn that this is EXTREMELY image heavy, and contains spoilers for the promo of 2.20 (but nothing beyond, because I'm still... obtaining it).

basically, ♥♥♥ )

Comments may have futher spoilers.
swatkat: (lots: because she is pretty)
Just so you know, this is an episode still from the upcoming Seeker episode, Eternity.

+ This morning, at breakfast, a guy smiled at me and said, 'Hello, my mafia friend.' Now, I have a bazillion people in my FB Mafia Wars filter, and I have no idea who they are - to think one of them stays in the same building and knows my face is weird. I should have probably asked for his name, shouldn't I? Because I know I'll forget what he looks like (I already have) and not smile at him the next time I bump into him, and it'll be terribly rude.

+ OH, LOLEGEND OF THE SEEKER! HOW DO I LOVE THEE? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS. Walter )



+ Then I watched Dr. Who, and okay, I give: spoilers for 5.4 )

Last night I was emotionally blackmailed into attending a farewell party I had no intention of attending, and, subsequently, EVILLY TRICKED into enjoying myself when I had no intention of doing so (there was this terrible punch, don't even ask). Today I had about four blisters in different places on my feet and odd aches; also brief snatches of conversations I may or may not have had and a screaming row with D. (boy had it coming, but really, I can't even have the satisfaction of having had my say because I CAN'T REMEMBER ALL OF IT). Sigh.

Anyway, on to Seeker. PANIS + MAGICAL VIAGRA = OTP )



*



Then I watched Dr. Who - which I continue to enjoy, despite missing a lot of the references. SPOILER ALERT: THE ROBOT FALLS IN LOVE )
swatkat: knight - er, morgana - in shining underwear (Default)
Today was a beautiful Sunday. I did not get a single bit of work done, but do I care? NO, because today was Seeker day and my computer screen pretty much exploded into unicorns and rainbows.

Wait, that didn't come out right.

UNICORNS AND RAINBOWS


I won't even pretend at this point that I don't have an OTP on this show - which is very odd, coming from me - or that I wasn't DYING to watch this episode ever since Queen B. let it slip that it would happen, but this is seriously beyond my wildest expectations.
DESECRATED, BABY )

Afterwards, I watched Dr. Who - which I seem to be watching now? - and was even more charmed than the previous episode. Charmed is the word, because I know very little about the show's very intimidating canon except what I've gleaned off the flist and [personal profile] netgirl_y2k's Morgana is a Time Lord story, but here I seem to be in love with the Doctor and Amy Pond, and also all the other awesome characters (spaceships! the Queen!). It even made me (temporarily) forget about Cara and Kahlan, WHICH IS SAYING SOMETHING.

And now I must go eat dinner, because I forgot to eat earlier and now my stomach is making strange noises. BUT FLAIL WITH ME, FLIST. IT WAS A GREAT SUNDAY.

PS: Matt Smith reminds me a little bit of NPH. From some angles.

OH MY SHOW.

PREPARE TO BE DESECRATED

(In case you haven't seen it already, that is.)
swatkat: (lots: because she is pretty)
My social life is getting in the way of my life. For the past two weeks, ever since I got back from home, life has been a blur of 'WHERE ARE YOU/WHYYYYY AREN'T YOU DOING [INSERT ACTIVITY HERE] WITH US/LET'S GET DRUNK RIGHT NOW', and it shows no sign of stopping. This is very troubling.

Anyway, Seeker Sunday! I received a very excited text message from my sister this afternoon, saying, Seeker 2.15 Creator + Random Speculation )

Thoughts? Is it wrong that I now have Thinky Thoughts about this show?

+

Dear [personal profile] roga, I believe this is relevant to your Interests. It's not happymaking (actually, it's scary and utterly insane), mind you, but I did ask you to take a sad song and make it better, so... *hopeful*

Also, guys, today I spotted the paperback of A Lion Amongst Men, the third Wicked book. Anybody read it? Is Glinda in it? Should I buy?

THIS IS A PHOTO FROM SEEKER 2.16, 'DESECRATED'.

DISCUSS.

PS: B'S ARMS, OH MY.

+ The Mord'Sith Your Man Could Smell Like, a parody of the Old Spice advert (CARA IS ON A HORSE).

+ Seeker fandom had a Love Secrets post that made my heart grow three sizes. Why don't all my fandoms have these things? Humph.

+ AAAAND, the episode itself: Seeker 2.14 Bound )

+ Apologies for the disappearing post. I was playing with DW settings.

Vote Buffy.

I am sure Sheldon Cooper is funny and smart and entertaining, but we're talking about Buffy Summers here. Remember this?

Angelus: No weapons... no friends... no hope. Take all that away and what's left?
Buffy: Me.

I'm getting all soppy and nostalgic now.

Meanwhile, someone should tell Bridget Regan to stop being so awesome. I'm not supposed to fangirl real people like this. It's not my style.

Anyway. Some things of note:minor spoilers for future episodes )

Galactica: Sabotage. Man, this vid makes me miss that show so much.

THIS SHOW. I bet the writers sit down and pick the CRACKIEST scenario they can come up with, and then write a script around that.

As promised, the illustrated f/f edition for certain people in the flist. (No, I haven't abandoned my other fandoms, I promise.)


Why I Think You—Yes, You, Dear Reader—Should Watch Legend of the Seeker II (Illustrated F/F Edition)

must.not.picspam )

I expect fic after you catch up.
swatkat: knight - er, morgana - in shining underwear (spring)
Dear flist, if you love me even one tiny bit, you will click on this. Just once. /emotional blackmail

This should be of particular interest to:

* People who are looking for a cheesy, CRACKALICIOUS fantasy show with pretty people, pretty camerawork and scenery, lots of swordfighting and Powerful Magic.
* People who are looking for all of the above, plus kick-ass women who are integral to the plot and have agency + shiny hair.
* People who are missing Merlin.
* People who are missing Merlin and wish the show was more interested in its women.
* People who often fall for the canon het ships.
* Femslashers (I have an extra-special post coming up just for you, later).
* [personal profile] roga

You know who you are.

Real life has been making me sad, flist, so let's talk about the new LOLegend of the Seeker instead. How great is Bridget Regan? Someday, when she's really famous and everyone is fawning over how awesome she is, I'll be like, 'Why, I have been following her work since her Seeker days. We often speak on Twitter'. LoTS 2.11. Torn )

+ While trying to catch up with Leverage, I also came to the conclusion that Cara is essentially Parker. If Parker were a psychotic-but-adorable-leather-wearing-Agiel-wielding-dominatrix instead of a psychotic-but-adorable-thief, that is.
