Lotripper

"Watch and enjoy" (Rachel/Billy, R, set June 2007)

msilverstar@insanejournal.com — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:21:49 GMT

Title: Watch and Enjoy
Authors: msilverstar and unstealthy
Pairing: Billy Boyd/Rachel Weisz
Rating: R
Warnings: light bondage
Disclaimer: Fiction, not true, we made it up
Summary/Excerpt: Billy'd never say no to Rachel if she wanted it for herself, but he's knackered and angry: that's a bad combination for their usual kind of sex. "Something easy?" he suggests, "so I don't have to shift myself?"
Series Note: This is set in an alternate universe where Dom, Billy and Rachel Weisz have a happy kinky ménage à trois. This one is set in June 2007: to read the fic in chronological order, please see the PPP Verse Master List

USAians and Canadians, time change tonight

msilverstar@insanejournal.com — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 06:28:06 GMT

This is the "Fall back" switch from Daylight Savings Time, so set your clocks to 11 pm at midnight or whenever: you can always check timeanddate.com, just to be sure. I'm going to try and think of it as an extra hour to sleep in or get things done.

I've been pounding away at my slides for the November talk, at least I got an extension until Thursday. But I need to focus on that, so have been offline most workdays. I miss the fun and tigging.

Good Hobbit Movie News

msilverstar@insanejournal.com — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 07:02:20 GMT

Positive news, Tolkien estate settles 'Lord of the Rings' wrangle, so there's no legal shadow over The Hobbit film going ahead. It seemed like this was coming, but is good to see it happen.

fannish five meme

msilverstar@insanejournal.com — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 07:04:55 GMT

It's been fun reading this meme, so please, someone, ask me five things about fandom? Anything outside of Lotrips is kinda murky to me, so I tend to like AUs best.

Hobbits at Comic-Con!

msilverstar@insanejournal.com — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 05:47:11 GMT

Apparently Peter Jackson can make Dom and Elijah look tall

They all look pretty happy, makes my fangirl heart go SQUEE!

James Cameron really is tall

movie babble

msilverstar@insanejournal.com — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 04:56:45 GMT

As per kidlet's request we went to see Half Blood Prince last night. The best part was watching it with her, holding hands, and knowing what was going to happen. I was amused by the shipping setups they are firmly establishing, now that we all know who's going to do what (or who).

webcomic recs for kidlet?

msilverstar@insanejournal.com — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 20:58:42 GMT

I'm looking for webcomic recommendations for my kidlet (she's now 9, she was 3 when I got sucked into fandom, wow). She has read and liked Get Medieval, Gunnerkrigg Court, and the Order of the Stick so far. She likes silliness, puns and adventures. Also, minimal angst and violence; and young sympathetic characters are always good. Thanks in advance from both of us!

California Prop 8 Fail

msilverstar@insanejournal.com — Tue, 26 May 2009 18:25:36 GMT

The fail was back in November when a small majority of voters went against equal marriage rights. The state supreme court just upheld the proposition, because they are bound to decide on the law rather than principle. At least they also confirmed the legal marriages during the interim. But it's not the court's fault, it's the voters' fault, so that's where we have to fight it next.

WTF, F/SF? Learn to listen, k?

msilverstar@insanejournal.com — Mon, 18 May 2009 23:29:18 GMT

I've been quiet about Mammothgate (Racefail 09 part deux), partly because it's so easy for me to understand the blindness going on there. I doubt I would have even noticed the assumptions, much less thought of speaking out against them. I just didn't see it either, completely missed the wrongness of handwavingly undoing the existence of all Native Americans for the sake of an interesting story.
