Cam Does a Double Take and Various Other Items

[misscam]

kerlin just gave me the mother of all double-takes. kerlin, if you don't know it, writes very good CSI fic. She's on my fanfic recs. And I see in my inbox today she's left a comment on one of my stories and I wibble a little, as getting reviews from authors you yourself like does give a little wibble.

Then I pause and realise.... "What a minute, she's commenting on Measures of Time. That's a Doctor Who fic. Huh?"

No fandom is safe from bumping into people you know from other fandoms, it seems. (How come wherever I go, there's always someone who knows OFUM? And then there's larakailyn, who I was on the same ship as back in the days of Babylon 5. Small Internet.) If kerlin writes Doctor Who fic though, Cam will be a very, very happy woman. Mmm. Need to seduce more people over. Join the Doctor love. Joooooin us.

(Pssst, wiccagirl24! It's one of your darling older men)

Speaking of happy, j0llipops's package of Pop-Tarts arrived for me yesterday. (Thank you, babe!) Mmm. Pop-Tarts. I now have enough to last me a couple of weeks at least. I wish they'd start making the sodding things in Norway already. It's very sad to have a craving for things you can't actually get in your own country.

Oh, and all Catherine/Warrick shippers on my list, keep an eye out for the new CSI book Killing Game. Found a quote from it on YTDAW.

But the kidding flirtation with Tomas brought to Catherine's mind another coworker, a closer one: Warrick. For a while now, she'd sensed a certain sexual tension between herself and the tall CSI. They'd shared something, not so long ago—just a…moment, where she'd stumbled and he'd helped her, and she wound up in his arms, briefly, eyes locked. Nothing had happened—no kiss or embrace or anything overt…
Then, just when she'd been trying to sort out whether a relationship between two CSIs was even worth considering, the shake-up of the team had made her Warrick's boss.
Talk about complications.

While on the same ship, check out the new Catherine/Warrick fanfiction archive. Neat, no?

Interesting rant on Fandom and Male Privilege. Hmm-hmmm.

ETA: Don't miss the wank! The thread here is particular gold, coupled with a great Doctor icon and mentions of CSI.

I should clear up that I don't watch television. I never have and likely never will. Of course, I'm *male*.(...)

Well, honey, I don't need books or statistics to tell me that only a greatly ignorant person would try to tell me that CSI is not one of THE most gynocentric television programs in a gynocentric media.

IT'S BLEEDING CSI.(...)

I have the authority because my opinion agrees with popular opinion. Regardless of whether or not 500 people on the internet think that television is not gynocentric, all research points to this. I could give you resources, but why should I? I'm the educated one.

In the news, it's bad days all around for Bush and friends:
Bad day for Republicans
Bad day for Blair also
Protest over 'cencored' gay kiss
US 'uses incendiary arms' in Iraq, it is claimed
Some states rebel against Bush on Kyoto

Meme for the bored:
Give me a story title and a fandom/ship. I'll give you the summary and a line or two I'd write for a fic with that title.
