Where are you?

LJ is dead this weekend. What's up?

Thank you to whoever nominated The Hero With a Thousand Faces and Throught he Black She Shines to the Strawberries for "Best Character Vignette." Also thank you to whoever nominated School of Lost Souls as "Best Crossover," but it's flocked and so can't play with the other fanfic boys and girls.

"The Hero With a Thousand Faces" doesn't seem half so innovative now that Serenity has come out and everyone and their sister has compared Mal Reynolds to Han Solo. Just remember that you read it here first, folks.

UNICORN

You are a unicorn. A unicorn

is like a horse, but has a single magical

horn protruding from its forehead. Unicorns

are the ultimate symbol of purity and

innocence. A unicorn is the ultimate sign of

goodness. A classic unicorn is bright white

with a golden horn. Unicorns are playful

creatures and will never resort to violence.

So to kill a unicorn is a very shameful,

terrible thing to do indeed.

I've always wondered: if you cut off a unicorn's horn, is it still a unicorn?

Being the n00b that I am, I might be wrong. But isn't there a little something called the Superbowl happening at some point today? *g*

Congrats on the nominations!

I never imagined my flist to be huge football fans, but hey I could be wrong. (We're too dorky to like sports!) They might watch the game, sure--I'm going to watch it myself, although I know some of my flisters won't--but to spend all weekend away from LJ because it? Except for one or two people who I know to be hosting events at their houses, why would a game that doesn't start until this evening keep them from entertaining me now?

Last night, I looked out of my window and realized that every house in my street, I mean, absolutely every house, was light up. That never happens, not even on Xmas or New Years. But yesterday, everyone was home. Maybe there are people who aren't fans, but no family is untouched, I don't think. At least, it appears to be a good pretext for get-togethers this weekend.

... And if we're lucky, maybe Janet Jackson will show the other boob this year *g*

I thought removing a unicorn's horn killed it.


"School of Lost Souls" is on my To Read list, but may I ask why it's flocked?

Unicorns are tricky creatures. Since they don't actually exist, there is much less that can be definitively said about than there is that can be said about, say, rhinoceri (rhinocerouses?). Indeed, it seems that the only thing that all fantastic creatures that English-speakers would naively call "unicorns" have in common is that horn.

I don't think I put the explanation as to why "School of Lost Souls" is locked down to a single reason (and it partially includes real-life reasons as well), but the the ambivalent way dubcon is portrayed in it has a lot to do with it.

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I thought I recalled the legend being that removing a unicorn's horn killed it, but I'm not particular up on unicorn myth and of course because it is myth it's difficult to say anything definitive.

Go you with the nominations.

Thank you.

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to say anything, but the fannish convention seems to be to thank the nominator.

Work Friday night, visit from mother and work yesterday, church this morning. I'm around. Just... not being terrifically exciting.

*goes off to read "School of Lost Souls," as nothing is shinier than dubcon femslash teacherkink OTP with kidlit quotes, and I'm bored*

Just... not being terrifically exciting.

But you posted fic! (Not that's exactly a rare occcurence.) With Drusilla!

It did occur to me as I was finishing exactly how many of your kinks that story hit.
