I want to state some facts before you friend me, okay? Be civil and don't bring unneeded drama. If you defriend me I won't take it personally. This is my journal, and I feel I can post whatever I want in it, so I fangirl squee a lot; however that is the point of this journal since it's a fandom journal. Real life posts are on a different journal which is FO and by invite only. Commenting is not an issue for me.

Fandoms For This Journal
Favorite Characters / Favorite Pairings List

• I believe in Sherlock. Morairty was a liar.
• Into Once Upon A Time so much that it's appointment television for me and I arranged my work schedule to guarantee I'm home when it starts. Proud White Knight over at onceuponaland.
• Into crime procedurals (mostly Castle, Elementary and Perception, but I also watch Bones, Person Of Interest, The Mentalist and CSI: NY when I remember)
• Into Leverage quite a bit.
• Into The Big Bang Theory because they're nerds just like me.
• Into sci-fi/fantasy (mostly Eureka ::sob:: and Doctor Who, where Eleven is my Doctor but Ten's pretty awesome, too...I also need to catch up on Warehouse 13, The Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood, and I have plans to start watching Haven and The Vampire Diaries).
• Into Joss Whedon's shows (to varying degrees: love Firefly and continue to watch "Serenity" frequently, have Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog songs on my MP3 player and rewatch sometimes, prefer Angel over Buffy the Vampire Slayer but I still love both shows even though I don't rewatch very often, and eventually I'll watch S2 of Dollhouse).
• Into movies of the live action variety. The only one you'll really see me writing fic for is the St. Trinian's series. I adore it to pieces. I might also try my hand at the Marvel movieverse. We'll see.
• Into The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy (having taken a college course about them), and the movie versions are some of my favorite movies ever. Also a huge fan of the Harry Potter books, as well as the movies. Firm believer that the British do fantasy best.
• Favorite writers include David & Leigh Eddings, Amy Tan, Neil Gaiman and Mercedes Lackey; you might catch me writing The Elenium/The Tamuli or The Belgariad/The Mallorean or Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms fanfic every once in a while.
• Into comics, though I abhor the DC reboot after Flashpoint and am waiting for the next crisis to see if things go back to a way that makes me inclined to follow comics again. Favorite series is The Sandman, though I'm very fond of Gotham Central and the old Birds of Prey as well. Favorite comic is Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. One of these days I may start reading Marvel. Related note: huge fan of the DCAU (Justice League Unlimited is my favorite) and the direct to DVD DC movies.
• Into manga, though it's mostly Bleach (before the Thousand Year Holy War arc in the manga), Zombie Loan, xxxHOLiC, The Wallflower (aka Yamatonadeshiko Shichihenge), Chibi Vampire, Shugo Chara!, The Tarot Cafe, Oh! My Goddess and Bizenghast. Also into anime, but that's mostly Bleach (subs, not dubs...hate the dubs), Zombie Loan, xxxHOLiC, Cowboy Bebop and a few others that I forgot.
• Former fandoms that I still mention/occasionally write fics for include the rest of the CSI franchise (yes, even Miami), Criminal Minds (it just hasn't been the same since Prentiss left), Supernatural (I stopped before the angels got really involved, but I am willing to go back to it...maybe) and a few others floating around.
• Adore crossovers to pieces. Mostly active in the Wholock fandom (Sherlock/Amy is my OTP, don't hate on me for it). Also write other Doctor Who crossovers because it's the easiest most crossover-est show ever. Everybody could use a visit from the Doctor in my opinion.

One of my coworkers saw "Star Trek Into Darkness" and wants to know what other movies Benedict Cumberbatch has been in that are worth watching. I said Sherlock and "Third Star" but other suggestions would be lovely for my own viewing as well. I especially want to see whatever project he did with Hugh Laurie, but I don't know what it's called.

Shoot. I just got a notice that a book I wanted from PaperbackSwap.com became available (Ouran High School Host Club volume 2) and I don't have a credit. I believe credits are $3.99 or $4.99. Any chance someone can help me out? I'll write you fic.

aaronlisa, your other fic might be written tomorrow. I'm kind of stumped as to how I want to bring Molly in, and everything I've written for it has sucked because my head is filled up with ideas for the "Amy and Sherlock take over the world" story (three chapters in one day and I'm about to start on chapter 5). I'll try again tomorrow if I don't do it later tonight, m'kay?

Let's see...I have finale thoughts. I will probably wait until the Elementary finale is done, but just note I only saw the last ten minutes of the Castle finale and the first ten and last five of OUAT's finale because my son called me for Mother's Day and wanted to chat. So my thoughts on those are very incomplete. But I'll be damned if I'm missing a minute of Elementary's finale, and I may hop onto the mobile version to post from my phone when it's over.

So, CSI: NY is officially canceled, and from what I understand Body Of Proof will finish this season and then not be coming back. These announcements make me sad, though not as sad about CSI: NY because we got a lovely series finale. But there is no way Body Of Proof can wrap up all their storylines neatly in just a few episodes will we're all going to be disappointed if this is the end. I'm almost wondering if it's best to start watching Grimm now, but I really want to see if there's any resolution to the storylines they started this season. Decisions, decisions...

So, Benedict is going to cause yet another sleepless night, as thiscanbegin told me he's on Jimmy Kimmel tonight. ::sigh:: This interview better be better than Letterman's interview last night. That's all I'm saying... I just hope I can start awake for it. I didn't get much sleep last night.

I don't curse on this journal very often, because it's public, but regarding the Elementary episode: HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!!! No wonder the fandom went apeshit.

Also, I don't know why, but every time an announced said Benedict's name I snickered slightly. I had hoped my local broadcaster would give it a shot but, alas, she did not. But I'm going to have to put up with Jack Hannah so that bums me out. Ah, well. It will be worth it to watch this interview and hear his damn gorgeous voice. ::nods:: Dear God, Letterman, get to the interview already...

Since nobody was kind enough to warn me as to what to expect tonight, I went out and bought my comfort foods: watermelon, Ferrero Rocher and macaroni and cheese. I am ready for any emotional trauma that might be dished out tonight.

For the love of all that is holy, the Elementary fandom has gone into catatonic shock. Can someone pretty please spoil me for tonight's episode? I don't get to see it for another two hours and forty minutes, I'm not getting home until 9:30, and I still need to make dinner before Benedict Cumberbatch is on Letterman tonight, so I may miss bits. Tomorrow morning is going to suck if Benedict's the second guest and I have to stay up for all of Letterman...why couldn't he do Craig Ferguson? I'd have killed to see that interview. But yeah, my love for him is so going to cause a sleepless night. I'm obsessed, kill me now.

ETA; Crud! i forgot I wrote fic to share. Here y'all go:

To Begin The World Over Again (1/?) | Doctor Who/Sherlock/Torchwood - PG for now | Amy Pond, Eleventh Doctor, Sherlock Holmes, Martha Jones, Mickey, Smith, Jack Harkness, River Song in this part; Martha/Mickey and eventual Sherlock/Amy and Eleven/River | One day Amy Pond asks to find out if there's a parallel Earth somewhere where she's a Queen. When the Doctor looks and finds out there is, and Amy is a tyrant who took over the world with Sherlock Holmes, he recruits old friends to help overthrow the government, along with a reluctant Sherlock. But there's a bigger mystery at play: why do some people remember certain events differently, or don't remember them at all? And why is this trip not in River's book?

Then And Now (6/?) | Doctor Who/Sherlock - PG | Rory Williams/Amy Pond, Mycroft Holmes and Sherlock Holmes in this part | Rory decides to stay with an old friend as he studies to be a nurse. No one told him exactly how much had changed since the last time he got to see Sherlock Holmes.

Keeping One's Promises | Sherlock/St. Trinian's - PG | Part 5 of the "Where The Wild Ones Are" series | Kelly Jones & Sherlock Holmes | When the talk between Annabelle and John's mother goes badly, Sherlock assumes Kelly will not keep up her end of the bargain they had struck the evening before. But Kelly surprises him, both with the fact she kept her promise and the candor with which she talks about her past.
