If you could choose one super-power, what would it be and why?

Telepathy. There are so many times I would like to be able to say stuff, private stuff, without everyone finding out.

Another Wallander fan video

2009-11-13T03:21:28Z

Again, it's a Stefan/Linda fanvid.

Scene from Wallander

2009-11-12T07:06:33Z

Stefan Lindman (Ola Rapace) and Frank Borg (Jacob Eklund) in a scuffle with a suspect, not exactly playing by the rules. Watch the video here.

Wallander fan video

I found this on YouTube (where else?) and I loved it.

This week's fics

2009-11-10T00:47:19Z

This time I thought I'd share my fics based on the movie The Long Kiss Goodnight, starring Geena Davis.

Original fiction

2009-11-09T03:40:30Z

In case you're wondering, I write original fiction too. I'm hoping to get my original work published so I decided to take it offline, but that doesn't mean my friends can't read it. If you're interested, just let me know and I'll send you a list so you can pick anything you like. That doesn't mean I expect you to. Believe me, I know how busy most people are. It's just so you know.

What was that? ;) (PG-13)

2009-11-07T03:13:57Z

Fun video clip. You guys might have seen it before, but it was new to me. If you like this sort of thing, enjoy. :)

My Judging Amy fics

2009-11-02T16:13:20Z

This week I thought I'd share my Judging Amy fics.

Writer's Block: Time traveler

2009-11-01T18:23:01Z

If you could go back in time to another decade, which decade would you choose and why? Would you want to return or stay there? What if you could bring one person with you?

I think I'd go to the 1970's. If I could bring my whole family, including animals, and our stuff, then we'd definitely stay. It might not be fun, but it would be safer and calmer than now, I'm pretty sure.

Writer's Block: Seeing stars

Mohinder Suresh from Heroes or Archie Kennedy from Hornblower (to name a few of my favorites).

Writer's Block: Forgive and forget?

2009-10-26T18:21:17Z

Do you tend to forgive and forget or hold grudges? What is the longest you've ever stayed angry with someone? Is there anything the other person could say or do to win back your friendship and trust?

View 1506 Answers

I hold grudges. Basically forever. I never forgive or forget, but I can decide to let go and move on. If someone said 'sorry' and meant it, I might forgive. It's never happened though.

Time for another fandom...

2009-10-26T14:29:52Z

This week I thought I'd share my Inspector Lynley fics. If that's your thing, enjoy. :)

More fics...

2009-10-19T18:07:41Z

This Monday I thought I'd share my House MD fics. They're set in an AU, mainly based on the earlier seasons.

New fandom on The Fandom House site!

2009-10-18T21:48:30Z

As of today, there's a new fandom on my fan fiction site, The Fandom House! Wallander! So far there's one story, but there will be three more once I've had time to translate them. The stories are based on the Swedish version, but naturally they will all be in English on that version of the site. There's also one wallpaper based on the UK version and several based on the Swedish version.

My other homepage

2009-10-16T13:56:48Z

If anyone's interested in finding out more about me, you're welcome to visit my other homepage. It's more about animals, veganism, languages and history than the Fandom Journal, but naturally also about books and writing.

New Wallpapers on the Fandom House site

2009-10-15T21:35:34Z

My sister just made these really cool wallpapers and I thought I'd share them. They're on the gallery page of our fan fiction site.

My books and stuff

2009-10-12T11:16:59Z

On one of my other sites - Moonflower's Books and Stuff - I'm discussing all my favorite books, authors, tv series, movies and more. That includes actual reviews of a kind. LOL. I'm not promising they'll be perfect, but if you like you're welcome to take a look.

I am promising that I haven't forgotten about that site or abandoned it. Eventually, there will be more reviews. Honestly. :)

Time for another fandom...

2009-10-12T09:33:25Z

It's Monday and time to introduce another of my fandoms... This time it's Horatio Hornblower. If historic fan fiction is your thing, enjoy. As usual, check the ratings and warnings before reading.

I'll have to do some translations again

2009-10-06T20:47:11Z

That's it. I will have to translate my Wallander fics into English. When I read the result of an online translation, I realized that this couldn't go on. You have no idea how stupid it looks. I certainly hope no one thinks I write that badly in reality. Translating is such a bore. I'd been hoping to be able to wait a while longer, but since there's a demand, I'll just have to do it. Actually, it might be a good thing for another reason too. At least I try to tell myself that. If I get to work on something, I might be able to get back to writing again, and if so I just might be able to finish my novel, at long last. I hope so anyway.

Homicide: Life on the Street

2009-10-05T08:58:10Z

Remember this 90's series? About the homicide cops in Baltimore. You'll find my fanfics based on this fandom here.

Writer's Block: Confessions of a couch potato

2009-10-03T23:36:13Z

What is the longest uninterrupted period of time you've ever watched TV? Were you alone or with a friend/partner? Do you tend to watch more TV when you're happy, depressed, or simply bored?

A couple of years ago there was an 80's marathon on tv. I love 80's music so I sat there for almost eighteen hours, until I more or less fell asleep in my chair. A happy memory. :)

Remember High Tide?

2009-09-29T00:16:50Z

This is where you'll find the page with my High Tide fics.

My Heroes fics

2009-09-22T21:13:35Z

I've been so busy studying I forgot to post my weekly fic link, yesterday. Ok, here goes. This is where you'll find my Heroes fan fiction. As usual, don't forget to read the ratings and warnings.

Mysteries and fantasy...

2009-09-17T23:52:30Z

I have found that many of my interests and hobbies are relatively rare. That is, not everyone shares my obsession with them. In fact, many of them never even heard of some of my favorites in a given area of interest.

It's kind of like my favorite types of animals. (Though listing my favorite animals will take time and blog post space. It might be easier to list the ones I'm not too keen on, but I digress.)

So, to get to the point, it occurred to me that my two favorite genres of books are a bit like cats and dogs. Let me explain.

Crime novels, in general, are crime novels, though there are of course historic ones, thrillers, puzzles etc. So that is the same as cats. A cat is a cat, regardless of its breed or appearance. (Though to make this a little more complicated, most people haven't heard of my favorite mystery writers either, so maybe I shouldn't take this metaphor too far.)

Anyway - With me so far?

Fantasy is more like dogs. What's a dog? A big tough, impressive one, like a - Eurasian? Yes. A lively, medium sized one, like a Tibetan Terrier? Yes. A small, adorable one, like a Lhasa apso or a Bolognese? Yes. A - you get the picture. My favorite fantasy books do have other followers, but really not that many. If I meet an average fantasy fan (yeah, I wish), I'm betting he or she might not even have heard of my favorites.

So there you have it. When it comes to crime novels, I like many different kinds. Fantasy, particularly my not so well known authors.
