....Just really, really busy. Meaning, less time for fanfic, etc. :/ Ah, hell, hopefully this year is a better one.

Same job, more plushies, lost a loved one, got one, too, fell in love with a couple new fandoms, fell out of love with a couple more...so, all the same silly game. I did get two cats last week, so. Velvet and Stella, and they are LOVE. All sweet and cuddly and somewhat shy. I hate to go back to London when I have to, but alas. Busy. That's life, right? ;)

All the best,
Mel.

Forgot to do this yesterday.

Merry Christmas. Again. ;) ♥

While I am waiting to board the plane, I was looking over PRs for future Merlin episodes, and you know what? The Beeb is starting to drive me nuts, too. Or I am. :/ ( Beneath Thee Lies SPOILER )

I finally saw the season 5 premiere, but I'm not going to comment on it until I've seen the next episode--and have made up my mind about what to do with the show from now on. But!

I went through the emails of the last few weeks and found the CW's official description-uh-no-wait-more-like-preview-slash-rehash for the season.

( Beware the possible SPOILER hiding behind the cut. )

The "time to be confirmed" part? Thtat's what drives me nuts, always has, always will. I hated it when Pro7 did it, or RTL or who the fuck ever, I hate it even more here. And still no press pack. *pouts* Whatevs.

Merlin Ep 2/13
Saturday 26 September
Time to be confirmed BBC ONE

( Again with the cutting for SPOILER. Yadda, yadda, you've been warned. ;) )

Okay, so even here in Shanghai I was lurking around the BBC, and oh look!

Merlin Ep 1/13
Saturday 19 September
6.40-7.25pm BBC ONE

No press pack yet, but, hey, I take what I can get. About time, too. The rest of the official write-up I'm gonna put behind a cut, 'cause it's somewhat spoiler-y. I think. I'm not up to date with what counts as a Spoiler in the fandom, so be warned anyway.

( If the possibility of SPOILER doesn't scare you, follow the magician...behind the cut. )

Oh and Happy Supernatural Thursday! (Shut up, it's Thursday here. *yawns* Thursday morning. I hate mornings.) :)

You know the hiatus' end is near when PRs for episodes start to get in - ( of course, caution for SPOILER! )

... so it's actually true, huh?

( Well, well, well...isn't that a press release I didn't expect. )

WTF?!? That's all I have to say. For now and maybe even for ever.

And I don't think that's spoiler-y, so. Yeah. No cuts. ;) Why the hell did I stay up with Braden to watch that?

You know, Gossip Girl, Supernatural, and all the rest -- because you asked so nicely and I'm finally back in London, dear Gemma. <3


( Yo, tell me when and where, and I'll be there. )

The Ghosts that sell Memories #24
SPN/QaF crossover, part rated R. Beta'd by the lovely mayalaen. Disclaimer: Both shows aren't mine, which, duh. No money made.

( Part 24: '...Morning finds him messing with the coffee maker.' )

Yeah, just 'cause I'm in the mood, yet another press release:


And, no, I'm not making up the headline behind the cut. It shines. ;) ( Some more SPOILER trolls ('Gossip Girl', '90210', 'One Tree Hill', 'ANTM', 'Smallville', etc.) might be lurking around here. )

It's so strange to write March instead of February. *sigh*

Oh whatever. On with this. For kiwicarnival and vanillacookie11, FOX's press release regarding said Sweeps.
( Everyone else, there might be SPOILER for various shows ('House', '24', 'T:SCC', 'Bones', etc.) around -- and it's LONG. )

And for bluewhiteskies (and possibly arkady_jo, who knows... ;) .) a press release from Sci Fi for Stargate: Universe, rearding some casting. ( Again, beware the possibly lurking SPOILER trolls. )
