foxyfursSo there's a few things I've been reading lately.
I'm helping beta this really kick-ass Merlin/Arthur D/s thing and I can't wait till it's posted and everyone else can squee with me too.
I'm still following a few WIPs in Sherlock, Losers, Generation Kill, and Avengers. I manage to not-check my email notifications until late in the day, using it as a kind of treat system to motivate myself during work. Every time something pings, I get all bouncy and excited and then, of course, I have to go re-read the previous chapter to remind myself where we were.
And then there's Teen Wolf.
Yes, I'm all caught up now with the episodes. Nope, I actually think the plot's a little hokey and inconsistent. Yep, the actors are freakin' gorgeous, but hey, it's based in California, whaddya expect? The writing, though... I can see why they wanna ship Stiles with absolutely everyone, the kid's adorable. (Yes, I can call him a kid, the actor's fifteen years younger than I am, and playing a character six years younger than that. Don't judge me.)
Here's a thing, though. When you're writing a story and the main group of characters has a Secret Hideout, one that no one is supposed to know about, you do NOT, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, have food delivered to that location. You know who police like to make contacts with? Delivery drivers! "Hey, Gary, seen anything weird lately?" "Yeah, actually, it was the oddest thing, man. Half a dozen people wanted pizza in an old abandoned industrial complex. Super weird, right?"
/facepalm
