The Fandom Journal - Agri Sublunares

Last fandom this year

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 07:59:58 GMT

I think most Robin of Sherwood fans have already read my RoS fics, but for any of you who haven't already seen them, I thought I'd share them this week. That is if there's anyone still online this close to the holidays.

Writer's Block: Holiday cheer

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 07:44:50 GMT

Do you tend to get nostalgic during the holidays? Depressed? Giddy? How do the winter holidays make you feel?

View Answers

As a child I loved them. Later I got depressed. Now I guess I'm indifferent. They pass so quickly. Blink and they're over.

Writer's Block: Take this job and shove it ...

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 05:37:36 GMT

Have you ever walked off a job on the spot? What drove you to it? Did you regret it afterwards?

Yes, once. I was working in the kitchen of a mental hospital and some of the older women bullied me. That happens a lot, actually, though I've never walked out before or after. I'm bullied by women and ignored by men. Don't know why that is. I defiinitely didn't regret it, but I was a bit nervous about it, because they threatened me with never hiring me again in any hospital in this town. As it happens, I never dared to look for a job in a hospital again anyway.

Guess it's time for another fandom

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 04:05:05 GMT

Rex - a cop's best friend (or Inspector Rex) might not be known to everyone - it's Austrian-German and it was a while since it was on, at least here - sometime in the late 1990's, but for those who do know about it and haven't checked out my fics before, you're welcome to take a look.

It's the season for it...

Writer's Block: Voulez-vous parler ...

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 09:53:38 GMT

Which language(s) do you currently speak? If you could learn only one other language, what would you choose, and why?

I speak (more or less fluently ): Swedish, English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. Also, I wouldn't say I speak it, but I know a bit of Latin from school (two years in high school). My next language will probably be Portuguese (Brazilian), because I'd like to know another Romance language and I have a good friend in Brazil. If not, then maybe Icelandic (it would be interesting and just maybe I could become a translator).

I suppose I'd better share another fandom this week...

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:36:51 GMT

... despite everything. Millennium isn't very popular and I'm not sure where the inspiration for these fics came from, but here they are anyway. I suppose I'm nostalgic for the (relatively) good old days (read: the 1990's) and the fin de siècle ambiance.

Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 12:35:39 GMT

My life is over. No, I'm not dead or even dying, at least not any more than we, all of us, are from the time we're born. In fact, using some definition of 'life' I might be around for a very long time more. Unfortunately, in my family, we tend to have very long 'lives'.

What I mean is, any hope I ever had of deriving any pleasure from life is gone. I should have seen it sooner, really. Like the smart little frog, I should have seen where this was going and given up and drowned. The stupid frog wins, someone saves him. No one's going to save me and frankly, I wouldn't want anyone else to save me. If I can't save myself, I don't want to be saved. And I can't. So, like I said. It's over.

You might ask what's changed since last night. Well, in a way, a lot of things have changed. It seems I will probably be stuck in this hell hole where I 'live' for - well, for as long as I 'live'. My one chance of getting out of here just vanished. I can't tell you exactly what happened, because it's still too painful. I don't even know the full circumstances yet. Chances are, I won't want to know.

Secondly, I had some other bad news. I can't tell you what that is either. You probably wouldn't understand, but it was the one thing I still had left to hope for, other than getting out of here.

It's time I face the facts. I'll never succeed in anything I try. I should have known sooner. I've been failing for more years than I like to remember. The truth is, I've never succeeded at anything after I left school.

Time to give up. Time to stop trying. Why should I set myself up for disappointment, when it's clear that nothing is ever going to work out? Each time I allow myself to hope, those hopes are crushed, sooner or later.

This time I should be smart and stop. Stop trying, stop hoping, stop hurting. Except that last one won't be possible. When I look at others around me the inevitable comparisons are going to show up. Why is she such a success when I'm not?

Of course, I only have myself to blame. I was born this way. Set up for failure from the time I was born. I've tried as hard as I've been able to try. As hard as someone like me is capable of. What a cruel joke.

I read somewhere that we, humanity, Earth, the universe, might just be one big simulation, created by some beings far more powerful than we are. In that case, i can only conclude that they did it out of spite. Doesn't everything seem like one big cruel, sadistic joke? To me it does.

So this is it. TIme to get smart. Time to finally learn from my life and take the consequences. Maybe it will hurt a little less if I stop trying.

Midsomer Murders

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:02:04 GMT

This week I thought I'd share my Midsomer Murders fics. As usual, read the ratings and warnings.

Miami Vice fics

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:01:46 GMT

This week I thought I'd share my Miami Vice fics. They're based on the tv series, not the movie. You might wonder why I write fanfics based on an old tv series. The answer is DVD:s. A couple of years ago I found some cheap DVD:s at the supermarket and decided to buy four of them (at a very good price). Two of them contained a couple of episodes of Miami Vice. Right away, I was hooked. I really need to see the rest of those episodes.

Sean Bean - extremely hot

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:45:40 GMT

I found these on You Tube and couldn't choose between them. What a hottie he is. ;)

Cute

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:28:47 GMT

Cute fan videos based on a likewise cute short film I saw a couple of years ago. These guys were pretty much beginners and despite that they did such a great job. Well done.

The weird thing is I know I’ve seen the blond guy somewhere in real life. Can’t think where it might have been, but I’m sure I recognized him as soon as I saw him in the movie. Well, I guess all mysteries can’t be solved…

Viggo Mortensen. So hot...

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:14:14 GMT

Check out this fanvid. Even at his age this guy's so - hot.

Another awesome LOTR fanvid

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:09:29 GMT

This one too, is about Boromir and Faramir.

Time for more fics...

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:59:19 GMT

This time I thought I'd share my Narnia fics. As usual, remember to read the ratings and warnings.

LOTR: brothers Boromir and Faramir

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 06:39:18 GMT

I found this awesome fanvid from LOTR about brothers Boromir and Faramir.

Writer's Block: Super-human

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

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 03:21:28 GMT

Again, it's a Stefan/Linda fanvid.

Scene from Wallander

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:06:33 GMT

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.

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

This week's fics

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:47:19 GMT

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

Original fiction

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:40:30 GMT

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)

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:13:57 GMT

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

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:13:20 GMT

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

Writer's Block: Time traveler

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 18:23:01 GMT

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.
