cordelianne: (Vmars Dick Is...)
Hello all!! It's been a while since I updated. I can't believe it's June 4th already!! The days are just flying by. It's been crazy stressful at work recently so there's been days when I'll keep refreshing my flist but then don't have the mental capacity to actually comment at the time, let alone write an entry. But we shall speak no more of this no more!

Good news!

  • On Thursday I received an email notifying me that Xander 2.0 is nominated at the Serenity on the Hellmouth Awards in the Buffy and Xander categories!!!! I'm extremely touched and flattered that someone liked it enough to nominate it. Thank you!! I'm very excited about the nomination but am also shy about it which is why it's taken me a few days to post about it.

  • Not my news but still very exciting: My friend is selling his house and moving to the south of France to write a book (on Organizing). Even though I'm sad that he's leaving the city, I'm so thrilled for him because I know it will be an amazing experience. I'm also very jealous and it makes me want to do crazy things like quit my job until I remember I don't have a house to sell.


    Despite the fact that my little corner of LJ is a wonderful and positive space (*loves everyone on my flist* You all give me such joy!!), I've managed to run across those various fandom hate memes and posts. I think it's fine to have a sense of humour about ourselves and not take things too seriously, but fandom - or my idea of fandom - should be about fun, and seeing the word "hate" bandied about distresses me. Maybe it's because there's been some upsetting things happening in Canada recently (eg. Massive arrest of suspected terrorists in Toronto, whose targets included downtown Toronto, and PM Stephen Harper to re-open same-sex marriage issue and have a free vote in the fall), and that's making me more sensitive. Nonetheless, I feel that there's enough hate and badness in real life, that we don't need to bring the hate to fandom. (I think ranting and critical thought is good, it's this whole hate thing that bothers me.) Sure I take my writing seriously, but I'm ultimately here for the fun and because it brightens my day. I say we should have less hate, more love!!!!!

    Don't you want my love?

    So in the spirit of fun, and love for Veronica Mars (which has been the target of much hate recently), I have a fun Dick-centric drabble. (See I haven't forgotten about my drabble requests, I'm just really really slow! But I've been writing lots recently, so yay!)

    For [livejournal.com profile] brandil who requested: Either Logan, Weevil, or Dick. You choose. I chose Dick because I've been writing a Logan/Weevil fic ... so watch this space!!

    No spoilers for the show, set really anytime during the series.
    Warning: Dick is, well, a dick.



    The Ladies
    by Cordelianne



    The cleavage is okay, he’s seen better. But awesome ass, something to really grab onto. Okay. She’s on the “to do” list, he decides. He nods and flashes her the Dick Casablancas get-the-girls smile. She swishes by.

    His eyes sweep the room and pass by Veronica. No way is he getting involved with that, even if she’s smokin’ and – from Duncan and Logan’s glazed looks – gives wicked blow jobs.

    His head whips around when he spies Marcie leaning forward, giving the girls some air. Yeah, that’s more like it. He turns around to take it all in.

    “Lookin’ good ladies.”

    Congratulations on the nomination! I hadn't read that particular fic yet, so it was thoughtful of you to provide a link. :D

    This corner of LJ is a nice little save haven from the craziness of the outside world. ::loves Buffy fandom:: And I'm trying not to get anxious about this government, but it's not easy.

    Oh, Dick. ::shakes head::

    I totally read it as "safe haven". *g* And look! One of Dick's many qualities is a being a "good speller"!

    Thanks!! teehee I'm not sure if it was thoughtful or just me self-pimping! :)

    Yes! Yes, do not leave our lovely haven here. I made the mistake of clicking on one of those anonymous hate memes (for Battlestar Galactica) and am still horrified. I'm now enjoying some good BtVS fanfic and blocking out all the scariness. I'm also trying not to get anxious about the government but it keeps getting harder.

    That's the perfect reaction to Dick, isn't it?!! *g*

    I've gone a little crazy with VM icons and today realized I have 3 different Dick icons alone. :)

    Oh, I'm not going anywhere. :) I don't understand why people have to stir things up. Either their lives are extremely dull or they're horribly misanthropic. Possibly both.

    Hey! I still have to tell you about the "premiere." I'll send you an email - I feel weird talking about this stuff on LJ.

    Either their lives are extremely dull or they're horribly misanthropic. Possibly both. I think you're right. It's like anonymity allows people to display the worst sides of themselves. And there's people who just enjoy being bitter and nasty. So I guess they're having fun?

    Oh, yes! I'm excited to hear about the premiere and your reactions to the film!! Do email!! *g*
