Odds'n'Ends
+ If you haven't checked out the Bechdel Test Fic-a-Thon Masterlist, you so should, because there is much great fic there and
angearia has put in a ton of effort in compiling it. Thanks so much to everybody who has participated!
+ In not-unrelated news, there's a new fic-a-thon on the block: The NOT MY FANDOM Fest!
Obviously, hilarity ensues. Check it out!
+ And I even wrote Legend of the Seeker fic! It's probably not that funny, but I tried!
+ Also, I was kind of loopy on Benadryl at the time because somehow I'm managing to have horrible allergies and can't find my knockoff Claratin, but I think that Community was pretty glorious last night. I'll have to rewatch it to be able to tell. I do know that I have such a crush on the wonderfulness that is Donald Glover. Just sayin'.
+ Everyone has been going on and on about how good Glee was this week, so even though I stopped watching sometime during the back nine of last season, I decided to check it out anyways.
It was good, but not good enough to get me to watch again. Though Santana and Mercedes singing? GREATEST THING EVER THEY SHOULD HAVE WON.
Mike Chang is hotness defined. I always thought so, but then he was singing that song from A Chorus Line and I was like HAI THERE.
Uh, what's up with summarily dismissing Puck and bringing in that annoying new kid and trying to get us to ship him with Quinn? NO THANKS. I want the show to really go there with Quinn and Puck's relationship, and I think they could be awesome together if the writing was there. But then again, this show has some of the most inconsistent writing I have EVER SEEN, so I doubt it'll happen.
I have never, not for one moment, bought the Rachel/Finn relationship (it always seemed entirely one-sided and based on Rachel's dream of getting the popular boy, not on either of their characters) but they were hilariously awesome together. Ships should always plot and scheme together.
Brittany is awesome.
I like Kurt's relationship with his dad. It's definitely the thing about the show that feels most real.
I didn't want to murder Will this time! Of course, that's mostly because he wasn't in it much. AND I DID NOT MISS HIM I HATE YOU WILL SCHEUSTER.
Artie is a huge, huge, huge asshole. I kind of hate him a lot now.
Yeah, probably not going to start watching the show again. Though I probably will check in when The Groff or Kristen Chenoweth show up.
+ Apparently there is a meme where you're supposed to post all of your icons with female characters in them? Um, that's like 75% of my (many, many) icons. So I'm just going to link you to them at the source and you can admire them there. They're very pretty.
+ I'm sure there were some other things I'd been meaning to share, but now I've forgotten what they were. So enjoy your Friday!

+ In not-unrelated news, there's a new fic-a-thon on the block: The NOT MY FANDOM Fest!
Welcome to the first ever Not My Fandom Fest! The fest will be running from tonight, Thursday, October 14 through the weekend until sometime on Monday, October 18! Pimp to your friends! Feel free to use the banner! Tell everyone you know! We're going to have fun, guys!
We all joke about "fannish osmosis," and this comment ficathon is going to put that to the test. The object is to write a ficlet for a fandom you're not a part of based solely on what you've learned from your friends list and fandom at large. Silly, serious, the tone and approach are up to you. The only rule is that you can't write for a fandom that you have actually seen the source material for.
Obviously, hilarity ensues. Check it out!
