Anyway, yes, this is a digital painting of John Watson (with his bulldog, Gladstone - sadly absent from the show) based on the Coppertone Girl from the original 50s ad. Deepest apologies to Martin Freeman… Well, I’ll probably leave this looking like a WIP, because damn his legs! (MY ART TAG) oH MY GOd DYING.

life has a weird timing

Right after a desastrous breakup with her boyfriend of five years, my sis is in Cannes as the ‘plus one’ of a distant friend of hers who is there because an indie film he worked for will be mentioned somewhere in some side-event.

So she has access to all events and free champagne, and her emails show her having an amazing mix between the best and the worst time of her life. I hope she survives. ;)

  • Fanfic intro: bullshit and loveProfessorfangirl

I finally got the audio of this talk on fanfic cleaned up enough to hear; here are the introduction and conclusion, a tiny bit of manifesto on fanfic and fandom. Also an experiment in how many times I can say “bullshit” in class.

If you listen to the whole talk, please keep in mind that:

This was not a formal lecture, but an impromptu thing for my partner’s class on science fiction film. (He was putting things on screen over my head that I couldn’t see; you’ll hear me refer to those from time to time. For instance, the first moment is me reacting to that pic of cosplayers isaisanisa and caffeinatedqueer, above.)

I was working without notes or an outline, because as I said it was just a informal talk.

They were supposed to have read the essay “Normal Female Interest in Men Bonking,” but many of them hadn’t.

I was coming out as a slash writer in front of fifty people and I was nervous.

This meant that at points I glossed over things roughly and got details wrong. The ones that stick out: the origin of slashfic (I was taken aback to be asked what slash was); an anecdote about anarmydoctor and Martin Freeman (Warren asked about it out of the blue, and I don’t think I got the details right); a quick definition of “cisgendered” that’s not very precise; and a side note about men in fandom that implied “all men” instead of “het men.” (There were three defensive het men in there that had me on my guard a bit, and you may be able to hear that at points.)

That said, I’m open to corrections and suggestions in case I get to do a more formal version of this in the future.

Okay, so. There you go. Eeeeek.
