Where IS everyone?

*iz ded* The QAF fandom is so amazing. I got a wonderful email yesterday afternoon, while I was baking a "Crustless Apple Pie" aka Apple Crisp for my third American Thanksgiving in Vienna.

(the following is an anonymous gift)

Your InsaneJournal account "etextraordinary" has been upgraded to a
Permanently Insane account.
InsaneJournal Team

When I saw this email, my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe it. One of my lovely friends here gave me a Permanently Insane account with Insane Userpics!!!!!!! *does happy dance*

I was trying to figure out what I could do to give something back to the wonderful fandom, and I decided on two things. If you have any fic prompts you would like post them and I will try to get them back to you ASAP (hopefully with in 2 weeks). And part 2- do you love chocolate? I will send you some delicious (German) Chocolate from Austria. If you give me your address in a PM or at my email (etextraordinary @ gmail.com) I will mail you a tasty holiday treat!

I ♥ QAF Fandom

Really really did not like "Coco Before Chanel." Audrey Tautou is gorgeous and I could have looked at her all day, but I found her character's motivations unfathomable, and I had no sense at all where Chanel's great talent and style came from, nor was there any sense of the force in design she would one day become.

This was nothing but an overblown romance that somehow reduced everything she did to being about some guy. Nauseating. I HATED it.

Beautiful, yes. But blech.

I wish someone would make the Chanel film that is in my head. Because this is DEFINITELY not it.

I am finally finally posting my fic from the Weather/Vacation challenge. The theme was just going to be the weather - how would Brian and Justin spend a beautiful day in May? - but somehow it slopped over into Vacation, too.

Enjoy. FanSee

( A Day in May )

I've decided to spam you.

It's been too long since you had a good Ny-spam. teehee.

But this is my last tonight i promise.

Need a good rec? Last thanksgiving I hosted a Rec-a-thon. It was tons of fun. Here is the link to the awesome 2008 Thanksgiving Rec-a-Thon. Lot's of good fic if you are in need!

( THE deleted scene...for the sake of those who are bothered by it, every thing is under a cut. )

God I love Queer as Folk.

*sobs*

I should never watch Love Actually and QaF 101 and 513 in the same day. It turns me into a girlie sobbing omg love is beautiful mess.

Ok. nerilka24 and I just finished watching episodes 101 and 102 at qaf_marathons.

But it's not to late for you to join the squee.

You can either:

A)Watch it later and follow along with our comments while you do so and join in with them. The beauty of the internets. Conversations can take place over days.

Or you can B) Come join me at qaf_marathons in 30 minutes. At 10pm EST. For episode 512 and 513.

ETA: Nerilka had to go to bed. I will be on my own for 512 and 513. *sniffles*

The Insane Userpics I bought don't 'show up.' How long takes it normally to receive them after paying? Anyone knows this?

Youuuuu, fandom. *happy sigh*
I always knew I was insane. Now I have the permanent account here to prove it. lol

At the end of the shittiest of weeks (at least from Wednesday on) this gift means more to me than you can imagine.

Thank you so, so much for this most generous gift!!!
And extra user pics too! *is flabbergasted*




I was thinking what I could give back to fandom, and the only thing I came up with is icons.
So, if there is a scene you always wanted to have iconized or a text icon or animation you always craved, comment on this post and I'll make them over the weekend.

Just a reminder We (hopefully it'll be a we and not just an I) will be watching the beginning and the end tonight at qaf_marathons.

I will get started at 8pm EST, watch 101 and 102 straight through. Then probably take a few minutes intermission and then watch 512 and 513 straight through starting at about 10pm EST.

Please join me! :D

And if you've never marathoned with me before just an fyi that I don't often get very deep with my comments, but you can feel free to. Or stay on the shallow end with me.

Why am I doing this? Because I have an urge to watch them both in one sitting and look at where they all started out and where they ended up without a ton of focus tonight on the hows and whys they got there.

I can't handle the crowds on Black Friday, and besides, my holiday shopping, such as it is, is done. (We're buying for the kids only this year, due to the financial problems of one of my brothers).

So my sisters in law and I are going to see "Coco Before Chanel," while my brothers and their sons do their manly, boy-ly thing without us. And then this evening, not_yet_defined is doing a marathon of 101-102 and 512-513 over at qaf_marathons, so that's what I'll be doing when I get home!

See you then!

Yay, I did it.
I just bought myself Insane Userpics as an early Christmas prezzie.

Does the happy dance!!!

This scene always makes me melt.

So much so that just hearing the song in my ipod at work makes me melt.

Are you permanently insane? First person on my flist to respond to this post by NOON EST will get a permanently insane account from me. If you are already permanently insane. You can gift the account to one of your favorite QaF asylums like qaf_drabbles or bj_action, or any QaF asylum you like.

In return. You must post at least one fandom post today as well. A drabble. A vid. Some icons. A discussion at qaf_coffeeclub. Whatever you like.

Happy Black Friday!

:D

Ready. Set. Go!

ETA: the most awesome besamislabios won! and generously gifted the account to bj_action in the hopes that it might see a little action soon. hmm...

and I actually have some free time. Even if it is almost 1:00 in the morning.

happier_bunny asked what QAF scene makes me melt and I will have to say the whole prom scene does it for me. You can see the love in both Brian and Justin's eyes.

But this kiss has been and always will be my all time favorite.

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to all of the American members! This topic came up during a car ride home with my roommate, so it seems a relevant good wish to make before proposing it haha

SO ANYWAY. My roommate and I were talking, and we came to the conclusion that every sex scene that has ever been in QAF was used as some sort of plot device or has been important to a character arc. We tried to stump each other with this theory, but couldn't do it! So I need to bring it to the bigger table. They're all aesthetic, of course, haha, but: do you all agree with this unproven theory? Was there a point to every one? Or was this another thing Cowlip couldn't get consistent? Feel free to point out any that you can't see the bigger picture~ behind or whatever. This holiday weekend I'll need some good entertainment.

(AND SPEAKING OF LONG WEEKENDS, if any of the members here are into the RP scene here on IJ, a small group of people and I are trying to put together a group storyline that would take place in real time and because I don't want to openly waste room advertising when it's just a side note here: the information on that is all here, if anyone is interested.)

Happy Thanksgiving to my wonderful friends list.

Let's see..

Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, yams, ham, prime rib, cranberry sauce and deviled eggs.

I am 2 seconds from a nap.

Oh, and I'm in Oregon, and guess what???

It's raining. lol Ah, Oregon Liquid Sunshine, makes everything all green.

Hope everyone is having a great day, and if you don't celebrate...go stuff yourself anyway.

I love my flist. Many of you I've known for years, some just a few months. You guys make me laugh, make me think, make me crazy...and I wouldn't have it any other way.

*hugs teh flist*

Oh, and cause Mistress Bunny asked...

What Brian/Justin scene makes you melt?

There's several, but most of those are sexual. *g* However, this one is so schmooptastically delicious, you can't help but say, "Awwwwww."

I give you Chiquitita.


Shine once more, like you did before, sing a new song Chiquitita

The lyrics are very fitting for this scene, because Justin was still finding that thing that made him Sunshine. And Brian, well...Brian wanted to give him a dance that he'd remember.

Sigh.

The gif is from the lovely and talented pfodge.

Happy Turkey And Pie Day!!!

Tell me a scene that makes you melt. It has to be a scene that causes your heart to skip a beat every single time you watch it.



I can pinpoint it to the nanosecond: see the look on Brian's face right before he closes in on Justin for the kiss? That's it; that's my scene; that is why I love this show so much.
