What a great week!
Sunday I got together with a few local friends to watch Magnificent 7 eps and talk about fannish things. I'd never seen Mag7 but my fannish friends are always eager to pimp new fandoms, so there I was watching the "pretty, scruffy cowboys". Wow, were they ever pretty! Especially Eric Close - it should just be a law that he has to have long hair and stubble. Clean-cut, he's very nice looking in a bland and generic way. But scruffy - wow. "Wow! Oh my gosh!" was my first oh-so-articulate response upon seeing him in the credits.
I also got to see the pilot for Veritas: The Quest, which I'd also never seen. I'm eager to see more of it. Too bad that show was canceled; it was interesting and fun and made me want more, which not too many tv shows do.
I so do not need anymore fandoms. None, nada, zilch. Don't need 'em!
*help*
This week, I've set up my fanfiction.net account (user name cbtreks) and begun to upload stories. I've also begun responding to drabble challenges on a Pirates of the Caribbean list I joined, which has been a lot of fun and gets me writing. It's a non-slash list, so that adds another challenge for me, since I tend to see PotC as a rather slashy movie. They're only short little things - 100 words each - but it's been fun and it feels good to be writing something. (Getting them to come out to exactly 100 words is part of both the fun and the challenge.)
One of my friends mentioned talking with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
killabeez at a recent convention; we haven't been in contact for quite awhile so I e-mailed her to see how she's doing. She wrote back - it was so good to here from her. She sort of introduced me to slash, so I owe her. (I don't think her's was the first slash story I ever read, but it was one of the first, and it was the first one that grabbed me and made me think, "Of course! That's the way it's supposed to be!" It was "Ghost in the Machine", and that led to the first slashfic I ever wrote.)
Tomorrow - Deppfest at another fan friend's house. This is a day dedicated to watching movies with Johnny Depp in them and observing how skilled he is at his craft. Oh yeah, and how lovely he looks, too.
I always feel a little shallow when I make statements like that. But he is lovely to look at! Why deny it?
