Fandom Stocking! ... and other things
Jan. 11th, 2014 06:21 pmMy Fandom Stocking is awesome; it is here if you want to enjoy all the goodies too! Thank you SO much to everyone for all your wonderful presents! I got fic, art, icons, recs, greetings and even a VID!!! You guys are the best. Seriously. ♥
As for the various gifts that I made for other people, I'll repost them here over the next couple of weeks.
Diana Squeefest is still ongoing! (Also on DW.) I really need to go participate more ...
Random other stuff: I stumbled across Enneagram personality types yesterday. Naturally this resulted in me trying to map various sets of characters onto it, mine and other people's -- including the White Collar ones. Peter is obviously a 1; Mozzie is a 5; Neal is probably a 4, which is amusingly apt because an emotionally healthy Type 4 picks up characteristics of a Type 1.
Speaking of White Collar, remember the Culper spy ring episode from season four? There is going to be a TV series about the Culper Spies. (Trailer here - ETA: new trailer link since the other one didn't work!) I am unsure how I feel about this. I love historical fiction and spy/intrigue stuff, and I'm even currently interested in the American Revolution period, so you'd think this would be right up my alley ... but anything mainstream and American-made dealing with that time period is always so terribly, terribly caricatured. It might turn out to be more nuanced than it looks, but based on the trailer I'm pretty much getting the usual sense of ~evil British~ and noble rebels, and I'm just not interested in that.
