halfamoon rising

halfamoon is "a fourteen day challenge celebrating female characters in fandom. Fanfiction, vids, recs, art, picspam, icons, meta, fanmixes, and outside links to content fitting the theme of this community are all welcome--the only rule is that the primary focus must be on a female character or characters." It runs February 1 to February 14. This year, it will have a prompts post to provide (optional) inspiration. See here for more details.

I'm copying musesfool via harriet_spy  and soliciting prompts for myself:

"To get in on this action, comment with a female character or f/f or f/m pairing in a fandom I'm familiar with (and if I don't like the pairing or the character, I might ask you for something else), along with a prompt of some sort - a phrase, an emotion, some keywords, a quote, a song, a picture. Whatever. Then for the first two weeks of February, I'll try to post a ficlet each day. (I make no guarantees that all prompts will be written - I'm just going to pick the ones that ping, and if there are more than 14, we'll see what happens.)"

Breaking up is easy to do

I've been thinking a bit about breaking up with shows, in part because I'm still mentally storyboarding a Future Ex-Girlfriend vid ("I don't care that you're a model" = that one lens-flare shot with Dean leaning on the car; "no one cares that you love Keanu" = Peter and Sylar throwing down Matrix-style; etc.), and in part because, though I haven't been fannish about Heroes since S1, I deleted the series from my DVR mid-episode this week after ( general spoilers for recent Heroes )

 I should've known better, but residual affection for Hiro and Claire kept me going.

So what shows did you break up with, and when?  Defined any way you like, though my default would be "stopped watching."  Meaning that I never did break up with the X-Files; I just buried it.  Or, suggest shots for the vid, if you like.  Lyrics here.
