I'm spamming y'all like crazy lately, aren't I?

FINE!

Gakked from everybody ever:

Comment and I'll tell you my favourite fic of yours that I've read, and why. If it's a longfic, I'll try to pinpoint favourite chapter (but no guarantees!). Or, in the event that I haven't read anything of yours, I'll comment back and ask for one thing of yours I absolutely must read.

I've sort of been putting this off because if I haven't read anything of yours I'll be embarrassed. So seriously: rec me! I love you all!

Also! Links!

First read this about how filmmakers are taught not to make films where women talk to each other. Then read the follow-up here about why and also about why it sucks to have curly hair. Think of it as foreshadowing for the time when I'll finally make my epic post (complete with a picspam of me!) about my lifelong...relationship with my hair.

I tend to think of happy endings mainly with respect to romance. Not that there aren't other kinds, but at least in fic, that's what most people seem to focus on. Like, Buffy could have the awesomest string of good luck and have everything in the world going for her, but if she's not with Spike, people will be like, "Aww, why no happy ending?"

So I tend to say that I'm very cynical about happy endings, even though I'm only really cynical about one thing. :-P

Ha! Oh, okay. I was applying it to larger context, but you're right about fic and happy endings = romance.

It all becomes clear!
