I'm Sarah and things that I like include feminism, video games, television, (web)comics and having excessively fervent emotions about fictional characters. Mostly that last one.

So I was going through old boxes of notebooks today and it turns out that for the past 12 years I have been A LYING LIAR WHO LIES to myself and others whenever I claimed that I don’t write fanfiction. In chronological order of writing, I found these horrors (among others that even now, in all my indignities, I cannot bring myself to mention):

  • plotty Indiana Jones fic, of which the final scene is just Indy and Marion making out in front of an explosion
  • hilariously terrible self-insert Neverending Story fic
  • Lord of the Rings fic featuring a bunch of Ranger OCs (one of whom was named Orvald the Ecru)(I don’t know)(I think I was trying to be funny)
  • Sacajawea Historical RFP (yeah, like Lewis and Clark’s Sacajawea, I DON’T KNOW, I LIKED HER OK)
  • The start of a fic about Loki’s (the god, not the Marvel version) gender confusion
  • a 1920’s speakeasy Angel AU that included a t e r r i b l e Mary Sue
  • An incredible volume of Ginny-centric Harry Potter fic that got all portentous about fate vs. free will that also was Ginny/Draco and Ginny/Harry but then ended with her not getting with either of them because she was an independent woman who don’t need no man!!
  • Due South porn (het even!)
  • Supernatural fanfiction featuring a female original character, circa season 1
  • Battlestar Galactica porn featuring Starbuck and Hot Dog (I KNOW!!!) that I started writing with a girl I met in Italy
  • An incredibly detailed Robin Hood (BBC) AU that was ramping up to Maid Marion femslash (okay this one was actually not too mortifying actually)
  • a shit-ton of background research for a post-film Gabriel fic (yeah, that mediocre Australian movie about, like, sci-fi Angels)
  • A plotty Metalocalype fic that included a sex scene involving Charles that teetered juuuuuust on the edge of bondage porn

I DIVULGE THIS IN ORDER TO EXPUNGE THE SHAME FROM MY SOUL

About me.

Came home to find that I have a few new followers, so I thought I’d write up a little introductory post.

First off, hi! Welcome!

My name is Sarah, and I’m a nerdy Canadian twentysomething doing my best to be a kind, open-minded, and rational human being. I am in a fictional relationship with fictional relationships. I’m pretty ridiculous.

This is a fannish blog, so expect overuse of all caps and exclamation marks and very little personal stuff. Personal stuff is fine, but I rarely venture my opinion unless asked for it. I read a lot of books, watch a lot of tv, and play a lot of video games, and mostly post about those last two items.

I’m a really friendly person and love talking to people about whatever, so come at me with asks, etc. If you ask me my opinion about any facet of video games I will blather for hours though, be warned. Said blathering is basically my only contribution to fandom(s), as I have no artistic talent (but am in awe of those who do) and am too riddled with neuroses to ever let anyone see my writing. So I mainly just reblog/comment on stuff I’m into.

My username is from a quote by Stanley Kubrick and sounds really dumb out of context from that quote, but it’s too late to change it now and also I don’t really care that much.

Thanks for stopping by!
