Brief update.
Yesterday I went to Amsterdam Bar to catch a Bad September show. The opening band, Clocks and Clouds, was awesome -- instrumental, just three members, with a cello, violin, and drum set. Kind of awesome watching the cellist and violinist rock out while they played.
The second band was My God, The River, and... I don't know why I expected a band whose premise was 'the river is coming for us all' to be more upbeat, but I did. They turned out pretty dreary, with some weird tonal whiplash in some of their songs, and some dissonance between the instruments. Some seemed to enjoy it, but not to my tastes.
Bad September was awesome as expected. I'll be working on Sunday, their next scheduled show, but I'm recommending my friends in that direction.
Also I made a Twitter account. Once Case starts up again I'll post about updates there, and I might post updates when I post stories and whatnot in here, and otherwise I'm mostly using it to more easily stalk certain internet celebrities.

So I decided I should post here more often
It occurs to me, as I take my leave from various forum roleplays in order to focus on other things, and as I wonder who I will unload all my random thoughts and experiences upon, that I have a blog.
I should probably post in it more often.
For those what care:
Most of my fics are not dead, they are sleeping. I will pick them back up at some point when my focus swings back around their way.
'A Case of Identity' is not dead, it is merely on hiatus, as the computer that I do the images on has been taken over by my stepdad and kicking him off of it on a regular basis is just entirely too much work. Case will, however, be continuing sometime in January.
Related to the last point, I am moving to another state sometime in December, for schooling purposes. I'll be visiting the campus on Friday, and for this purpose am hopping a Greyhound on Wednesday.
This will be my first time traveling somewhere entirely unaccompanied. I'm excited. Since my mom remarried I've traveled alone plenty of times, but I've always met someone once I reach my destination -- usually my family, once my girlfriend's family because I was visiting DC with her. This time it'll be about two and a half days alone in an unfamiliar state. I'm a little trepidatious, naturally, but I'm looking forward to the experience.
It's always been on planes, too, so the Greyhound's another first.
Anyway. Also for those what care, I have in the works an intention to set up a Sherlock Holmes Retrospective/Review/Showcase type 'net show, tentatively to be launched sometime after I'm settled in at the new school. My goal is to find and talk about every piece of Holmesiana in existence, in roughly chronological order. Given that Holmes, since his inception, has become one of the most prolific figures in our modern pantheon, I expect I'll have quite a job -- and I intend to have a lot of fun with it. :3
The show is tentatively called 'However Improbable', but that's a tad obvious, so I'm open to suggestions.
In the meantime, I have two new cats I need to see to, and a bunch of preparations I need to do tomorrow.
Cheers!

So I've Noticed a Trend
A lot of webcomics these days have gay characters. This is unsurprising, given that webcomics often like to tackle social issues and/or provide fanservice and/or serve as author appeal. In my long career as a webcomic connoisseur, I've found that there's a trend in these gay characters.
Quite simply: The first (or first major) outed character of a male author tends to be a girl. The first (or first major) outed character of a female author tends to be a guy.
This trend may also exist in other forms of media, but it's easier to see in webcomics because one can often observe the full evolution of the author.
The freshest examples off the top of my head are from The Walkyverse (male author, first gay 'Daisy' from 'It's Walky') and DMFA (female author, first gay 'Jyrras'). I'm pretty sure Nanase from El Goonish Shive counts, but Justin may have come first. There've been more over the years, but I've lost track of them. I shall have to remedy that at some point when I have time to hunt them down because I'm not supposed to be studying.
The obvious conclusion to draw from all this is that my first non-fanfic published work needs to have an outed lesbian.

So, Todd is a Weaver
I tend to fangirl over things that have small (if not nonexistent) fanbases, and/or which my real-world friends don't even know exist and are resistant to learn about. This makes it very frustrating when I hit upon fanon revelations and want to share them.
Then I remember that I have a blog, and what else is a blog for if not for bringing pointless shit to the attention of whoever happens to stumble across it?
Anyway, today's topic concerns the That Guy With The Glasses site, specifically one reviewer known as 'Todd in the Shadows'. He does mainly pop-music reviews and other music-related things. His shtick is that, unlike other reviewers who actually, you know, face the camera, he sits perpendicular and keeps his face entirely in shadow. He also plays the keyboard. When forced in front of a camera elsewhere, like in the various crossovers, he wears a mask that hides the top half of his face, including his eyes. He usually wears a hoodie with the hood up.
Now, recently, I began reminiscing about the LucasArts game 'Loom'. It was a pretty great game, all around, though I didn't really like the ending -- kind of a downer. Anyhow, it's been awhile since I've played, but I remember a lot of it very clearly. I remember that the main character is a kid called Bobbin Threadbare, a member of a group (a 'guild') called the Weavers. They all wear hoods that, other than their eyes, obscure their faces entirely. This is a good thing because, as we later find out, seeing a Weaver's face apparently kills you. Painfully. Bobbin carries a staff that allows him to cast magic spells that consist of particular four-note arrangements.
Wait a moment. Constantly obscured face? Hood? Works with music?
But wait! The Weavers show their eyes and not the rest of their faces, and in public Todd only hides the top half of his face, including his eyes, right?
Well, that's another thing. See, if you search up some of the close-up shots of the Weavers, you do see their eyes -- and see that they have blue sclera. Naturally, this would tend to stand out. For whatever reason, Todd is trying to hide his Weaver identity, and those blue-tinted whites would be a dead giveaway.
As for showing the bottom half of his face, well, that's just to throw us off the trail. He somehow discovered that the nose down doesn't kill people, and so to further confuse his enemies, left them uncovered.
It's a tenuous connection, to be sure. Further investigation, however hazardous, will be necessary before a definite conclusion can be made. For the time being, though...
I'm on to you, Todd.
Update: As of To Boldly Flee, Todd's unmasked face was exposed to both Obscurus Lupa and the borg'd-up Nostalgia Chick. While Lupa exhibited no ill effects, the Chick exhibited a strong negative reaction that caused her to un-borg. Despite this reaction, since neither of them died, this would seem to negate the Weaver theory.

I am so completely confused right now.
Why is there a link to Triangle on a site called 'kidsbelief'? Who, according to their 'about us', 'provide links, with summaries, to articles from great sites across the web that are related to Bible stories for kids.'
What makes it even better is that the link is from when the fic was still called 'Kidnapping, Murder, and Amnesia'. Pfft.
Somebody must have been trolling. That's all I can figure.

So, Molly and John Need to Get Married Immediately
(Cross-posted from my dA, like all my stories are cross-posted from FFnet.)
Well, maybe not immediately, but definitely after whatever BBC does for EMPT.
"What's this?" certain readers cry. "The Slash-hound supports a Het pairing?"
Actually, there's several I support, but I can see where this would come as a shock, considering that there's maybe three het-ships among my long, long shipping list.
Lately, however, I've been considering, and even with all the fun ship-teasing that goes on in the show... Sherlock, at least the BBC version, is really written to be asexual. And I honestly believe John when he insists he's straight -- maybe more of a Kinsey 1 than a 0, and he might be open to some experimentation down the line, but, physically, attracted largely to women. And you know what? Both of those are completely okay, and oddly enough, still fit completely into my fanon. Because Shwatsonlock, no matter the incarnation, is about far more than mere sexuality -- it's about the commitment and the intimacy, about the Companionate Love that I would challenge any fan to deny that they have for each other. (Except in adaptations that completely miss the point, like the Roxburg HOUN.) So, there's that.
Then there's Molly. I've been a Molly fangirl since shortly after seeing Great Game, after a random picture on dA made me consider her character a little deeper and realize that she isn't just a reflection of the horde of fawning Sherlockian fangirls -- she had the potential to be really amazing, if only she was given the chance. Thereafter, Molly getting her 'Let's Get Dangerous' moment became something of a theme in several of my (yet-unfinished) stories. (Validation for this Molly-fangirling has come with 2x03, The Reichenbach Fall. Hell to the yes. <3 )
Anyway, get to the point, right? What does all that have to do with Molly and John getting married?
Well, as a few people might be aware, my main ship in Holmes fandom (focusing on Canon and Granada) is Shwatstrade -- Holmes/Watson/Lestrade. Oddly enough, it's the concept of a similar dynamic that leads me to ship John/Molly.
Simply put: Both of them would understand that Sherlock comes first. John and Molly both are heavily emotionally invested in a man who is virtually guaranteed to never feel romantically inclined towards either of them -- and this is a problem, because this emotional investment colours and disrupts all their other relationships. Neither of them can manage to carry on a relationship with anyone else because they're too ready to drop everything and run to Sherlock's side the moment he needs them. Sure, they'll put up some arguments, but in the end, Sherlock trumps.
Additionally, although Sherlock may be asexual (or at least, in other adaptations -- and in my Shwatstrade stuff -- possessing of a very unobtrusive libido), it's obvious that he feels very protective of those few he becomes close to, and even (subtly in canon and less subtly in certain adaptations) feels very jealous and possessive of them. This was a point of serious contention when it came to Watson/Mary, and when it comes to Watstrade and Shwatstrade interpretations. However, since he, in all likelihood, files both John and Molly loosely under 'Mine', and since he clearly trusts them both, he's unlikely to feel threatened by their marriage, as he might if either (particularly John) somehow managed a serious relationship with anyone else.
So, yes, it would not be marriage of romance or passion; it would be a marriage of practicality, comfort, and companionship. Considering how many 'romantic' marriages end in divorce, I don't feel particularly bad about suggesting one that isn't very romantic.
As to compatibility, since that's kind of important in a marriage, John and Molly are both very nice, very sweet, very intelligent people with mediator streaks, who already have a history of friendship; both are medical professionals but in different fields, so they have further common ground but probably wouldn't have rivalry issues; neither, as far as I am aware, have any odious personal habits that couldn't be worked around. Molly has Toby, but John hasn't displayed any distaste for cats in general (the Sphinx doesn't count, even some cat people think they're creepy). Sexual compatibility may or may not be an issue -- Ultimately, I don't think they'd be particularly passionate, but without that pressure, I can see them becoming very comfortable and even playful in bed. The best thing would probably be to keep it an open marriage, of course, so that sexual compatibility can be found elsewhere, but both of them strike me as very monogamous, so I consider this unlikely. (Well, monogamous until such time as Sherlock expresses interest one way or another, at which point all bets would be completely off.)
Jealousy over Sherlock's attentions would, of course, be the major source of contention for this pairing. Optimistically speaking, I think both John and Molly would be able to work around that (perhaps even with Sherlock's help, if he manages to clue in to their emotional well-being), but it would probably be the basis for most of their fights.
I'm undecided on whether they would be more likely to try and get their own place, to just move Molly into John's room in Baker Street, or to get a larger place for both of them and Sherlock. I'm leaning towards Baker Street, even if it would be a tight fit, but that's just because the possibility of them leaving behind either Sherlock or Mrs. Hudson just seems wrong.
Thoughts?
Edit: After some consideration, Molly and John should fix up and move into 221C. That gets rid of the issues of leaving behind either Sherlock or Mrs. Hudson, but allows them the space to set up a home and family (and to keep Toby) without all of Sherlock's experiments and weirdness being directly in the way. (Also Toby + Sherlock's experiments just seems like a bad combination.)
Edit2: So apparently 'Molly' is actually a pet-name version of Mary. BRB squeeing forever.

Fandom Attack!
Remember how I said the contender for my Fandom Drift was Dark City? Yeah, it's already moved on. It was Deadwood, but we just finished the second season of that, so not anymore. Now? Now it's Big Wolf on Campus. This show is such adorable crack, I swear.
I really want to write a Cursed/BWOC crossover. We'll have to see how this goes.
Dammit, too many ideas, too little writing ability... I wish I had time to read something good right now. My writing always sucks when I can't read. D:

Ohgodwhyismynameontheinternet D:
So Blogger has this neat little thing that'll let you see how people got to your blog. Most of my hits are from strange Russian search sites and from the link in my FFnet account.
Two recent hits, however, were from someone searching my full name on Google.
It occurred to me that perhaps I ought to consider if I'm ready for my name to be forever connected to porny fanfiction.
After some thought, I've decided: Fuck it. Yes, hypothetical reader, your friend/student/classmate/family member/co-worker/prospective employee writes about fictional men doing the nasty.
Deal with it.

Checking In
So, it's not like anyone really reads this, but I feel like posting something. In essence, I feel like talking to myself. I should probably not be doing this in the middle of my newspaper meeting, but they're talking about budgets and I don't really have anything to weigh in with.
Random shit, ho!
I'm working on the third installment of Triangle, as well as a coda, but my connection to the characters started slipping and I haven't had time to properly re-watch the movie. I'll try to get it out as soon as I can, but I'd rather take more time than turn out a shoddy story. Then again, I have a tendency to turn out nothing at all for months (years?) at a time due to writer's block and/or fandom drift... I'll try to finish this one before I let the next fandom encroach on my time.
Unfortunately, there is already a contender for the next fandom, that being Dark City. Yet another obscure movie, but hey, at least this one has a discernible fanbase.
My Wednesday gaming group -- the folk that were doing the World of Darkness game where I was John -- has started playing an Inception game using the Mutants and Masterminds system. If I have the time and inclination, I might start work on scripting and/or drawing up a comic based loosely on our exploits. The first adventure, at least, had a bit more coherence and a more realistic timeline than the WoD stuff did, so it might not fry my brain quite as quickly.
I really wish I could find our copy of Jasc PSP so I could reinstall it. Then I could start posting art again. At the moment, the lack of decent graphic editing software is making me sad. D:
Also, if at some point in the future I come into some free time that I can spend at home, I may start running my text adventure in here. Or I may create another blog to run it. This assumes I'll have a readership by that point, but hey, if all else fails I can poke people I know.

A (So-Far) Comprehensive List of Ships
Just a long and largely-pointless list of the ships that I actively support. I'm of the anybody/everybody school of pairings, and I'll read pretty much anything so long as it's well-written, or write pretty much anything that happens to catch my fancy, but these are the ones that I'm particularly big on.
This will be continually updated as I watch more movies and read more books and whatnot.
Remember: A shipper does not need 'evidence', merely 'incentive'. ;)
Pointless list, ho!
