Nerdiness of Nic

How long has Star Trek Voyager been off the air? I don't know. I love it always and I get on these streaks where I rewatch it and I've been doing random episodes instead of going logically through the seasons episode by episode like usual. I might do that later though.

Anywayyyy, one of my few OTP's in fandom has to be Janeway/Seven. I love them as a couple. Usually I don't go for May/December romances but they're pretty much perfect together and Kate Mulgrew and Jeri Ryan are just too fucking fantastic with the chemistry together. It also helps that Janeway, hands down, is my favorite Star Trek Captain.

On that note, here's a link to a hilarious J7 ala Scott Pilgrim comic strip for the fun of it and some random J7 gifs.










The last one isn't J7 just Janeway being adorable. As if that's just anything though. Janeway! So much love forever. I crush on your voice until the end of days.

It makes me irrationally annoyed when I read femslash fanfic that has it where two cisgendered women having sex leads to pregnancy and then their child is a BOY. Not because, ewww, boys have cooties! But because science! Cisgendered women have XX chromosome which in humans only leads to other women. XY chromosome possessed by men is what makes it able for the fetus to develop into the male sex. You need the Y chromosome to have a boy and if two women having sex somehow leads to a kid then they don't have the correct chromosomes between them to have a boy since they're both XX and XX chromosomes can only reproduce other XX chromosomes or, you know, another girl.

I know, I know, f-preg is sci-fi! It's not real. Or wait, they've already done it in Japan with two female mice and guess what? They only had girls. So yeah. Science. lol. I don't know why it bothers me so much but it does. I don't read much f-preg fanfic but whenever I do and the kid ends up a boy I usually click out. I guess I can only suspend my disbelief so much?

ETA: Using my Janeway frowny face icon because it's awesome and hilarious not because I take this super seriously and it makes me frown that hard. I should do my sixth rewatch for all of Voyager again. I think it's been a year since I last did that.

When people email me about my fanfic, I generally reply to them but when it comes to Livejournal (and especially Fanfiction.net) comments I don't respond for the most part. I've just read a lengthy discussion on one of the forums I lurk at where some established and pretty well known fanfic writers were saying to not reply to each and every comment they get is ungrateful and downright rude.

Really? I don't think that. I'm not sure what I would reply with anyway. Thank you over and over? I reply when I have something to say back to the person or they ask a question I have an answer to otherwise I just leave it.

Just wondering what other fanfic writers/readers on my friendslist or who read this LJ think about it.

I'll be co-hosting allaine77's radio show, Femslash4Fans, on January 6th at 10 EST. The show topic (in case you haven't read my subject line) will be Harry Potter. We'll be joined by redbeargrl and meingeheimnis so I expect the show to be thoroughly awesome.

My fandom New Year's resolution is to try and finish my many abandoned fanfic projects including A Thousand Glimpses (AMC), Fragile Things (My Otome), and A Matter of Circumstance (Marimite).

Even so, I'm horribly tempted to participate in P&P's Epic Proportions contest. Since it has to be a brand new fanfic I was thinking of finally writing my All My Children/L Word crossover fanfic that hooks up Bianca and Helena thus creating the prettiest/nicest/most made of win lesbian heiress couple of all time. The pretty, you guys, the sheer pretty!

Or I could finish my Legend of the Seeker fanfic that has Cara/Dahlia post S2 finale. Hmm.

I'll be appearing yet again on Allaine's show Femslash4Fans on blogtalk radio tonight at 9 pm EST. We'll be talking about fun world of femslash in the year 2010 and what we're looking forward to in 2011. Listen in!

I'll be helping allaine77 co-host his radio show Femslash 4 Fans on Thursday, August 12th at 10 PM EST. If you love the snarky fun of Ash & Scribbs give it a listen!

Femslash4Fans finally makes a long-overdue return from its hiatus with its first-ever look at British television. While "Murder in Suburbia" only ran for twelve episodes in the U.K. in 2004-2005, it continues to inspire fans on both sides of the Atlantic, thanks to the partnership of Detective Inspector Kate "Ash" Ashford and Detective Sergeant Emma "Scribbs" Scribbins. After all, perhaps the reason neither ever seemed to find the right man was because they already found the right woman. Certainly the fanfic authors who have kept the community alive thought so. And two of them will be joining allaine77 and I on the air, forgivemenot author of the "Turning Point" series; and magicmumu who wrote the amnesiac story "Fallen."

oneiric22 and I were just talking about True Blood on the phone and look what I find? Snoop Dogg is a fanboy for the show. lol. I admit to never watching it myself, but I did read the books, and I do love this video.

About to go on allaine77's radio show Femslash 4 Fans if you want to give it a listen. harper_m will also be in attendance. Hopefully all is entertaining.

I always get into cancelled shows. I've been meaning for awhile to watch Legend of the Seeker because I read the book series awhile ago and enjoyed it a fair amount (especially the bits about evil manifest chickens) but just never got into it. I've just finished watching all of the current episodes and now I want to write fanfic. lol. I'm so fucking fickle about this shit. I ship the tragically doomed and awesome background relationship of Cara/Dahlia.

( LJ Cut for random babbling )

I love, love, love, love Joan Jett. I've seen her five times in concert and have gotten close enough to the stage to touch her but I never did because that's slightly creepy. Well, more than slightly, but anyway. Much love for Joan.

From the start, I wasn't too sure about the The Runaways biopic because of the casting of Kristen Stewart as Joan but the more I see of the movie the more I get excited about it. The problem is, I can already picture myself seeing it and wanting to ship Joan with Cherie and that is problematic in the fact that okay... it's a movie but these are real people the movie is based on. One of which I've seen live in concert several times and love to death and you know, your kink is not my kink and fandom peace and love and all, but RPS squicks me out majorly and thus the idea I could possibly want to write fanfic based on real people (despite them being from a movie) is making my brain scramble like it's an egg on drugs and hello 80s PSA.

I'm so torn you guys. lol. At least I can take comfort in my Joan love or something. Also, Lita Ford. I love me some Lita Ford. Although I've only seen her twice live. But Lita rocks equally hard.
