You know how sometimes people on your friendslist post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Not big on MEMEs -- I usually do the ones that pique my interest, but rarely post the results. This one gave me a giggle so I thought I'd share it.
On the twelfth day of Christmas,  jadzialove sent to me... Twelve rainy days drumming Eleven raspberries piping Ten lesbians a-leaping Nine icons beta-reading Eight soundtracks a-wanking Seven cucumbers a-writing Six movies a-reading Five di-i-i-ill pickles Four wank fics Three gilmore girls Two green olives ...and a tiramisu in a snape/harry. |

[07 Dec 2009|07:23pm] |
I totally forgot to post this. My real-life distractions have really been beating me down (for the last year and a half, if I'm honest), kicking me into 'hiding' mode. Not complaining but just wanted you all to know that it's not you, it's me. heh
On to the ficage:
This story was written for the 2009 Snarry Games, which turned out to be the competition's swan-song, and I was lucky enough to be on the Gold Medal team. Though it was mighty close for sure. (I'm ashamed to admit that I have yet to read Team Cauldrons' entries -- the 'distractions' you know.)

Art for snapealina Touch Me (PG13) I just adored this so much. This is a beautiful piece of artwork, so sensual and rich with detail. Really lovely!
Art for cartentan In the Garden (G) I can't squee enough about this. The artwork is so sweet, an adorable look into Severus and Remus' domestic life. A perfect picture of a happy family!
Fic for kinky_kneazle No Greater Love (R, see warnings) Wow, this story is simply amazing. It's dark, and breathtakingly written. This story made me feel such sympathy for Peter. Trust me you'll love this story, but do heed the warnings.

| Animated film rec: 9, sort of vs. Dragon Hunters |
[08 Dec 2009|12:10am] |
 |
9 []
Rated PG-13 for violence and scary images.
Runtime: 79 minutes.
Director: Shane Acker
Summary: When 9 first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world where all humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they'll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them. |
My notes: BFF ordered me to watch this film 'cos she had seen a couple of scenes from it and fell in love with the visuals. So I did.
I liked it fine, especially the visual side, yes. Landscapes, the dolls, those factories and machines. If you like steampunk, go for it! I did find it very, very pleasant for the eyes. Not quite an eye candy 'cos it's all greyish-brownish and raw and dusty but it looks really nice.
I even liked the story for the most part. It's quite charming, and the story of a small individual becoming a hero in order to save the world, figuring things out, gathering courage and strength, well, it's cliché of course but it's a sure win as far as modern action/adventure goes. But at the same time, I found it annoying. I mean, if you have such a well-established heroic cliché, there's no need to make it even more cliché it by making the villain a Hitler in such a non-metaphorical way. I mean, sometimes it's OK to believe that your spectators aren't completely stupid, so there's no need to put things in their mouth and chew for them. Sometimes you can create a more far-fetched metaphor, say, as Tolkien did in LotR or as Hiromu Arakawa does in Fullmetal Alchemist, and your audience will get it. Or on the contrary: make him Hitler, no a Hitler-like something. Don't dance around trying to side-step every dangerous thing.
Another thing that annoyed me was 7 at the very end of it. The dolls are more or less sexless, more boy/men-like than girl/woman-like but whatever. I liked it that the story wasn't about love, that it wasn't about how family saves everything -- which, let's be frank, Hollywood feeds us so much as to make one want to stay single forever. But then [spoiler]7 acquired some distinctly lady-like expressions, nearly batting eyelashes. WTF? Will they now hold hand and knit baby dolls or something?[/end spoiler]
And this leads me to the following. I liked Dragon Hunters much better (my review). They are seemingly nothing alike, Dragon Hunters and 9. It's just that they both are about small people saving the world and that something in the animation looks similar to me. So, while I'm ready to rave about Dragon Hunters for ages, this review is about 9 and regretfully, I'm not prepared to squeal about it. Yes, I enjoyed it. Yes, it's a real pleasure for the eyes. But I expected more. The animation made me expect more originality from the plot, and it might be completely my fault that I was so ready to fall in love but in the end, merely liked it. But like it I did. Give it a try!

Author’s Notes: Some dialogue taken directly from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It’s safe to say I wouldn’t have even attempted to write this story, much less finished it, without the wonderful hand-holding of my beta. Thank you so much. Also, thanks go to my nameless friends for encouragement and a final read-through. serpenscript, I took your second prompt and kind of ran with it, I hope you enjoy it. Happy Snarry Holidays!
