Apologies in advance
I know, you’re like, Neko, we followed you for fanish crap, stop talking about your kid. But today I was writing (original stuff, sorry) and my kid came over and asked me to write him a story. He then proceeded to dictate this elaborate story where Thomas (aka Thomas the Train) and James went on this adventure to rescue Gordon who was stuck on a hill. It was fucking awesome.
Guys, my...

Me: Debit.
The Kid: BOOBIES!

You know I approve of these choices for the weekend, but I forgot about the angst-fest of The Courtship when I told you to read it. Oops! Though I like your idea of naps and vitamin C today. I’ve done that all weekend.
Oh, it was a great read, and for that I thank you, I’m just such a delicate little snowflake, I...

Neko's fic reading adventures take 2
I think I might be slowing down. Certainly I feel a little tapped out at the moment. It’s been 9 days and I’ve read over 500,000 words of fic. My brain is essentially mush. I’m sad to say this, but I think the fic bender might be coming to an end. I didn’t even make it halfway through my list. Possibly I shall attempt a new plan of attack, maybe choose one fic to...

Too many ideas!
pookaseraph:
Assuming for the moment I was finished with CMU (which I hope to be before February is out, but likely early March) and I wrote one more Finding a New Way fic (which might happen soon?) and you could have me start *only one fic*, would it be:
(a) No Divorce post-XMFC AU with secret agents and pew pew and dubious moral sciencey shit. (C/E)
(b) Steampunk Military AU (w/ powers) with...

Nonnies!
Thank you. I was wondering where the sudden influx of comments, kudos and followers were coming from. Thanks for the free advertisement.
On a different note, here is the very first dress I ever made.
Full size version. Bonus points to anyone who can identify the picture in the background.

Neko makes dresses
So one of my hobbies includes buying antique patterns, resizing them to fit me, and then making vintage re-creation dresses. I tend to make 1-2 a year and wear them to Christmas parties or sometimes the grocery store. I thought it might be fun to share a few.
This is a 1887 Victorian walking dress that I made to wear to the Sherlock Holmes (first movie) premiere (except I regretted it because...

GOSH if you didn’t have a significant other (which I believe from things you’ve said, you do?) I would flirt outrageously at you in a platonic way. IT’S POSSIBLE I SWEAR.
Aw, I’d flirt right back, just as platonically, but yes, I have a hubby, a kid, 2 cats and a mortgage. It is all very grown up...

Standing on the cusp of history
16 year old Neko: *@friend's apartment, PC towers litter the floor, wires run in bundles, strung from the ceiling* What the fuck is this?
Friend: *handing over joint* Man, you got to come take a look at this. It's the greatest thing ever.
16 year old Neko: *crouches on floor to peer into monitor* What am I looking at?
Friend: It's called the World Wide Web. It's gonna fucking change the world, man.
16 year old Neko: *snorts* Yeah right.

Nonnie, a dark fic writer for you!
Seriously, though, people write what they write and no one should ever apologize for the things they like/don’t like. It’s a big candy store. Some of us are fuzzy peaches, and some of us are dark...

lol dark fic what’s that?
I know, right? My response to most fic is, “There are not enough kittens in this!” So I can’t imagine wanting less (or god forbid no kittens at all). Not that I don’t wholly applaud dark fic readers/writers, but it is...

I completely forgot to tell you about Our House, but I should have done that earlier. But really, Little Birds! I told you it was awesome.
Dude, I just finished Little Birds. OMG. They are birds. And everything is happy. And nothing hurts. And it was so, so beautiful.
Which, considering my anger over the XMFC sequel...

Neko's fic reading adventures take 1
I was going to wait until my fic reading bender was over to share what I’ve read, but I’m already starting to lose touch with reality, so I may need to do this in batches. So this is Saturday - Wednesday. I’ll also mention a couple of WIPs were rec’d to me, but I’m not going to touch those. It’s better for the author if I wait for the finished piece, because...

I'm pretty sure this is tumblr's fault
August 2011: Man, that was such a great movie. They really played up Magneto/Professor X. I wonder if there’s fanfiction for it. *checks* Apparently there is, and there is also something called a kink meme. These didn’t exist the last time I was reading fic. I’ll just… Holy shit, look at this awesome prompt. I hope someone fills it. 2 days later… Man, no...

Well, that was a transcendent experience. I’m not even capable of speech. How is there so much good fic in this fandom? How is it I haven’t read it until now? I might honestly never resurface.

Blimey
Why didn’t anyone tell me the XMFC fandom was so big? Or that there were so many wonderful epic fics? I feel like an asshole now for having not read anything before now.
I’m going back in. I may be gone for a very long time…

Me: And?
Husband: You're not mad?
Me: Why would I be mad? You travel for business all the time.
