II. I saw Lion King in 3D tonight and it was fucking awesome.
III. I'm actually writing a fic! And by "writing" I mean "slowly over the last twelve months I've hacked away at it and might be nearing the end". That makes it sound really epic, but it'll probably be like two thousand word. ANYWAY, I am mentioning this because at some point I am going to need a beta who is familiar with SJA and/or Classic Who -- I guess basically just familiar with Sarah Jane outside the context of those couple New Who episodes she's been on (which I have seen). I haven't written much Sarah Jane before and I want to get her right or at least in the general vicinity of right. Any takers? It's not done yet but hopefully in the next day or two, and as I said it won't be much longer than 2000 words.

FANDOM MEME FULL OF TOTALLY UNPREDICTABLE ANSWERS
Stolen from basically everyone at this point, the ~2010 fandom meme~
1. Your main fandom of the year: Doctor Who. SURPRISE.
2. Your favorite film this year: Toy Story 3, tbqh. Everything else I basically just moderately enjoyed. Toy Story 3 made me cry like three times.
3. Your favorite book this year: Ummm the Pullman books, I don't know which one in particular. Pullman is sort of an interesting writer and I think I enjoyed his stuff more now than I would have as a kid, I think I would have found it boring as a kid. But as a ~scholar of English literature~ I enjoyed the ideas/etc. I liked Tiger in the Well a lot even if it was OOTP-levels of frustrating to read. HDM was good too.
4. Your favorite album or song this year: The "Lungs" album by Florence + the Machine. Pretty much every song on there was my favourite song for a portion of this year. Right now I am rocking out to Howl.
I bet it is on a billion Rose Tyler fanmixes and if it is not it should be.
5. Your favorite TV show this year: Well this kind of goes along with my favourite fandom, doesn't it. But in terms of shows I ~discovered~ this year hmmm, probably Community. It is like a comedy tailor-made for me! I also really liked Secret Diary and Misfits, though. So 3/4 for you, Britain.
6. Your favorite LJ community this year: Is it bad to just say a bunch of comms I mod? OH WELL.
starwhales is fab.
7. Your best new fandom discovery of the year: lol I don't even know what this means. I didn't really... discover a new fandom? I... am glad I started watching Community/Secret Diary/Misfits?
8. Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year: Omg both HIMYM and The Office were so bad at the beginning of this year/the end of their last season. They've both sort of picked themselves up again in the subsequent seasons, but still. Turning away in shame.
9. Your TV boyfriend of the year:
10. Your TV girlfriend of the year: I guess this is supposed to be a character from 2010 eh? Or from a show I watched in 2010? W/e I will go with Hannah Baxter. She is self-described as not a very good girlfriend but I am sure we can work something out.
When does this show come back? That must be soon right? Yess.
11. Your biggest squee moment of the year: LOL probably watching EOT on New Year's. That totally counts for all of 2010 okay.
12. Your most missed old fandom: lol I only have one old fandom. BUT I was feeling pretty nostalgic for Harry Potter this summer, while reading MRHP. I reread Deathly Hallows and read a Lily/James fic yesterday and everything. My love for Harry Potter is ancient and forever.
13. Your fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to? I am not really eying any fandom with interest. I am waiting for Katniss Everdeen to be cast so I can nom popcorn gifs and watch the wank like I did back in the day with Robert Pattinson? I might watch the rest of Vampire Diaries so I know what everyone is talking about but I sense it will be another Merlin for me. I have also given passing consideration to Being Human anddd... I'm pretty sure there was another show but it's since slipped my mind.
14. Your biggest anticipation of the New Year: I am always excited for more Doctor Who. Also Secret Diary (though omg no Bambi, crying forever) and I guess Misfits when it finally returns in a year f u Britain.
WELL that was fun.

Tania and I went to see Tangled last night because watching Disney movies and eating ice cream out of the tub is our thing~. ( Collapse )
Has my lj turned into me just reviewing random media I consume? Apparently.
