Fringe and the Sarah Connor Chronicles are no longer Yuletide-eligible. This is both good (many stories exist!) and bad (I can’t ask for them any more!).
Typo that I love for Dean Winchester: fistborn of John & Mary Winchester. If the punch fits …
Political fan fiction, or political tinhats?
This story on writing instruction is interesting in itself, but also fascinating for how it suggests that the tools that make people competent writers are also the foundations of the most compelling storytelling, as Film Studies Hulk (with an assist from the South Park guys) argues—you can scroll down to point 24 if you don’t have a lot of time.

Query: anybody know if the Dreamwidth crossposter has fixed its cut-tag issues?

I couldn't resist getting Z. to make this icon, now that I have 100 to play with. Nip/Tuck snippetage is in progress; I'm still thinking about how to pull off the XF and SV prompts.

Many, many thanks for all the Evil Overlord suggestions thus far. Please feel free to leave more, if you think of them.
Cicada update: almost all dead. The sound is like an electric hum, like having your ear pressed to a generator the size of a house – though with more dying every minute, maybe the generator is now only TV-sized. There are so many, coating trees and grass and cars and doors, that it reminds me of that Star Trek: TOS episode, "The Omega Glory," the one with the Yangs and the Kohms – "They sacrificed hundreds just to draw us out into the open. And then, they came, and they came. We killed *thousands*, and still they came!," the bad captain Tracey says. I don't know how the species survives, given that the individual cicadas get themselves killed in every possible way, from flying into doors to landing on pools of water and drowning. They are profligate with their lives, that's for sure. Perhaps they only become stupid after they've mated and laid eggs. A friend of mine says their existence is proof that there is no God, but maybe they're just proof that God has an inordinate fondness for cicadas.
( Lots and lots and lots of fiction and a dab of comics and poetry )
