Well, that's personal canon now.

Have you ever read a crossover so right and so obvious that you wanted to hit yourself for not thinking of it? Check this out: Like Father by niennahfic. A very short (less than 300 words) gem of a The Dark Knight/Watchmen ficlet built around a brilliant idea: that the Joker's father just might have been a Comedian.

I've never had a more Well, obviously moment in my life.

Part of the fun of writing journal entries for Rorschach is his ability to write completely crazy things with a straight face. (My favorite line of Reflection was having him describe Wonder Woman as "dressed like a whore on Flag Day.") In the fic I'm working on now he just wrote about how his morals are impeding his investigation and I had to break off writing because I started giggling (it'll make sense in context.:)

Of course, the other side of things is the constant questions: Am I using too many semi-colons? Should I be dropping this pronoun? How run-on should this sentance be? Why can't he write the way he speaks?!?! Find the balance is so nerve-wracking.

That said, I have my fingers crossed that I'll have this fic ready for beta by the end of the week. *crosses fingers harder*

Seriously. Linkin Park.

I'd forgotten how lulzy the ice dancing music choices can be. So far tonight we've had Bohemian Rhapsody, Crawling by Linkin Park, and now the theme from Requiem for a Dream that's in every other movie trailer.

I don't care all that much for the first two stages of ice dancing but I always really enjoy the free skate. You would think not having to do the throws and jumps in the pairs skate would make the programs easier, but every couple has just incredibly intricate footwork and there have been some phenomenal lifts --- the German team (the Linkin Park couple) had the girl actually picking up the guy for one of the lifts!

Ooh! "The Impossible Dream!" In French!
