The best thing about the LJ wanksplosion of the last two days
… would be this thread.

Afternoon randomness
I just got random anon comment spam on my LJ. That’s never actually happened to me. *sniff* I'm so proud.
In other news, I sent a fangirly email to the Smart Bitches, and got a friendly response. This will make me squee for a while before I can forma cogent reply to it.
I also discovered these people while blog searching. Some of the posts were fascinating and thought-provoking. Some were just shrieky, but there was some interesting discussion going on, and there were book recs, too, which is always a plus.
Trolling in blogland
My favorite bit from the original post is here:
Putting down editors and writers also displays a lack of knowledge about this industry.
Romance is the most successful genre of all time because people have banded together
with a collective consciousness to do good not evil. This is true camaraderie. I
hope it continues or we will perish.
I love that asserssion that romance writers are fighting evil. It makes me feel less bad about those days when I want to write, say, Luna/Peeves smut. Because, really, if it has a happy ending, then that’s one less point for Voldemort… or something.
I was going to address other points about that post, but I’ve been cold-cocked by that phrase about fighting evil.
Random miscellany
OMG potential ASOIAF TV series!
All I gotta say is, I am so there!
Also, about halfway through Barayar by Lois McMaster Bujold, I was struck by the fact that Droushnakovi = Brienne of Tarth, only, y’know, from the future. (Note to self: This is not a good reason to app Droushnakovi at Hogwarts Hocus).
Also, I am officially out of alcohol.:(
Amusing fic linkage time
A huge chunk of my flist will find this amusing.
Want!
I want this for a Consumermas gift. I’ve discovered that I have, in fact, acquired a taste for coffee, and you really can’t go wrong with chocolate in any shape and size.
Veteran’s Day
I don’t usually post song lyrics, but I think I will this time. Or at least I’ll link to them.
Funniest link ever.
If you’re a fan of Harry Potter, either the books or the movies, check this out.
I almost want to find a decent Harry Potter RPG and play a character who would do some of these things. Because it would be hillariously funny.
