Don't ask me why, but I decided to see if there was Holmes/Moriarty slash. All I'm looking at is this, and I can't decide whether to be gleeful or horrified:
FanFiction.Net - A Dish Best Served Cold, a Sherlock Holmes in the ...
Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, General/Suspense, Moriarty is out rule the world once again and he's had it with Sherlock Holmes' interference.
www.fanfiction.net/s/3788453/12/A_Dish_Best_Served_Cold - Similar pages - Note this
For some reason, this links to Chapter 11. Here's the first chapter! :D
ETA: Oh my god, the Sue is named Inspector Lestrade? :D:
ETA 2: It's based on a cartoon. Suddenly the random children and sci-fi crap makes slightly more sense. Kind of. |

Wow, I just cannot believe that someone on my friendslist, someone I trusted with my friends-locked content, someone I didn't even talk smack about behind a filter, would do something so heinous as plagiarise from another writer/fanartist. I mean, what is the internet coming to when you can't trust the people you've clicked a little ticky box for to indicate that you sort of think they're cool? I feel so betrayed. I feel... lied to. I didn't even know ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) annlarimer, but I can't stop feeling guilty. All those times I commented phosfate's fic and art... all those times I said nice things to her... it was all a lie.
Well, I don't truck with liars or with the people who truck with liars, so I have decided that it's time to make a decision: you can either stay friends with me or with that lying playjerist plaji THIEF phosfate, but you can't do both. If you intend to keep her friended, I'm afraid I have no choice but to stand up for truthiness and justice and defriend you, since you are obviously probably a thief yourself. The time has come to make a stand!
... unless you're going to defriend me, in which case I totally understand your point of view and respect your decision not to judge people by their mistakes. Because after all, Jesus was forgiving and stuff, even to people who put the mote in his eye and stoned him to death.
Dammit, now I have to go to work. |

Friendsfriends points me to some interesting shit sometimes. Today's "oh my god someone GETS it" link is courtesy of zorrorojo. I would like to subtitle it "Why 'boobies!' annoys the fuck out of me."
Sexy feminism creates two groups of women, but, oddly enough, neither group is for women. I allude to the “sex-positive” group and the “anti-sex” group. The first benefits the status quo. It reassures women who fear the burden of true liberation that femininity is a legitimate identity. The second is the fictitious enemy of the first — a stand-in for the real oppressor — and functions as the dark, hairy background against which the glowing orgasmic accomplishments of the sexy feminists may glitter in the light of life’s dudely disco ball. Of course there is no real group of anti-sexites; this is a fabrication that allows sexy feminists to indulge in patriarchy-appeasing misogyny on feminist blogs.
Choice bits from other entries:
I’ve said it before and I’ll again: patriarchy isn’t some vague intellectual conceit invented by radical feminists to pass the time in between trips to the Birkenstock store. It’s an actual humanitarian crisis, and it has actual consequences, even for you, even if you say it doesn’t.
Of many the specious arguments against the Twistifesto, there is one which is most commonly posed by a certain species of “sex-positive” feminist. These well-meaning but misguided gals complain that the eradicate-prostitution position is patronizing because it presumes that women are “incapable,” as Caitlain puts it, of making decisions pertaining to the disposition of our own body parts. I am happy to report that the eradicate-prostitution position does nothing of the sort. No sane radical feminist could possibly support the assertion that women are “incapable” of making decisions; we are merely prevented by an oppressive social order from exercising our capability to its fullest extent.
I can never decide if I'm a liberal feminist or a radical one, but I usually end up going with the former simply because I don't think it's possible to completely tear down society and build it back up again. In any case, all this stuff is food for thought and serves as a distraction from the emotional trauma I'm inflicting on fictional characters. |

Today is the 50th anniversary of the peace sign.
I didn't know that it originally stood for nuclear disarmament.
Additionally, does fandom really think that LJ relies on their content to bring in new users? Because it seems to me like the majority of people on LJ use it as a journal and social networking site, not to read/post fanfic and meta. And really, if you want to "show" LJ/SUP that your content is important in terms of bringing in users, wouldn't it be more effective to, I don't know, remove all of your content instead of just not posting for a day? Oops, there I go using earth logic again. |

I'm watching Poltergeist. I don't remember this movie being quite so freaky when I was a kid.
Still, it's better than the umpteenth showing of Terminator 2, The Matrix, or The Punisher.
ETA: Screams and screams and screams. D: |

I have about had it with Dunkin Donuts' ads whinging about coffeeshop menus and their "Fritalian." For god's sake, this is why the rest of the world thinks we're fucking morons.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a context for ( this photo. )
ETA: OH SWEET JESUS. |

I'm pretty sure that if I had a wank bingo card, it would be covered completely by now. Is someone going to write this up for ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif) wankitywank, or would that just be encouraging the troll?
In a completely unrelated matter, I would like to invite the entire month of February to DIAF.
ETAing so as not to be annoying: ( Spoilers for 'Reset' ) |

Is it true what I have heard, that there's a Coxon song in the latest episode of Torchwood? |

Oh my god, when did otf_wank become funny?
This is now my favouritest GIF ever.
Randomly, there is this dotty old guy who comes into this lab a lot and makes up Microsoft Word docs about some really incoherent-sounding quasi-religious thing. It's like mad libs for New Age weirdos, all "BIP OF THE GLOBAL HEART AMAZING." Just a whole page full of gibberish like that. I don't know if he has some group he hands them out to or what. I almost want to ask what the deal is, but I don't want to give the impression that I want to join him. It's really weird.
P.S. I would really love it if my desk wasn't right next to the BIG DRAFTY WINDOW in this building, because I basically have a frigid breeze blowing across me all evening. I need a blanket. |

"Starkers" means naked. It does not mean crazy. Please to not be using British slang if you don't know what it actually means. |

I couldn't figure out why I had such a nasty headache at work today; then I realised that o hay, I've been consuming a lot of caffeine and hadn't had my latte before work. Addiction is an ugly thing. The highlight of my day, however, was reshelving books for 3 1/2 hours, only to discover that the idiots who took the books OFF the shelves yesterday had left a stack of English books tucked in behind some others, so all of the English books will now have to be moved around. Fortunately, my boss (who had overheard my very loud "Oh for the love of god!") told me just to leave it and let someone else do it on Monday. :D
In other news, I present one of many things wrong with America:
#1 Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour
#2 The Eye
#3 27 Dresses
#4 Meet the Spartans
#5 Rambo
Granted, it's February, a veritable cesspit of movie releases, but seriously?
And now I nap. |
