gender-marked writing and the OT4

So I took this meme three times, with "wisdomeagle," "Ari," and "Ruth Ellen" in the "Name" slot. And all three times it churned out that I was a physics geek.

I think internet is confusing me with my girlfriend. Very puzzling, as am not, in any way shape or form, my girlfriend. Except that we happen to share the same brain. But that is very minor indeed. Also, am not a physics geek in any way shape or form, except dating and sharing brain with one. All very confused.

Rather like my women's studies paper. It's a brief 857 words long, which would probably be fine except for the fact that several of those words are made up and one of them is Angelus. Four of them are some variation on the word "porn". Rather long night ahead of me.

Actually, since the paper is written... well, it's about you-me-us, about the internet, about fandom... all in the very vaguest of terms, of course. But I thought you might be vaguely interested. Don't worry, there's not a word of bullshit in here. I haven't edited it into submission yet.

( this is my WS paper, unedited )

But the Angelus/Spike? It's so not happening. I love the Fanged Four, but they are all so messy and complicated. They are way too complicated for PWP, which is weird, since they've got more time than just about any other pairing when they are together, relatively happy, relatively settled... and they do fun stuff! They go hunting! They kill things! They all have sex with each other, and it's practically canon! I really dig my OT4, but I just can't write it.

( but Ari, WHY can't you write your OT4? )

Ah, well, enough babbling. I'm over on the Fanged Four Archive, reading this and praying I don't get spoiled. Mmm, smut like whoa.

Farscape in review:

Started, naturally, with "Terra Firma." Where else would one start?

[contains vague spoilers through "Bad Timing". None for the miniseries, though.]

Now, sleep! At 8:00, I can watch the Premiere, then choose between an extra hour of sleep or "Back and Back" Have class at 10:00, so can't see "Exodus From Genesis," which is no great loss. Will miss part of "Throne" to get lunch. Will try to catch all of "PK Tech Girl" at noon. Will need to go up at some point to get cap and gown for Founders' Day, so might do that instead of watching TGIFA (aka, John gets Jaffa'd), Will miss "I, E.T" for Women's Studies, and "That Old Black Magic" for Founder's Day. That's kind of sad. I wanted to rewatch TOBM. Well, I could always watch it on the computer.

Bed now!
