First, Star Trek. Okay, I've seen lots of recs for Home on FFN, so I went to the author Lanaea's page and HOLY FUCKING SHIT. HER FIC HAS 187,963 WORDS IN IT. I'm sorry, but how can ANYOBODY have a STXI fic with that many words? I stay up all night writing three to four times a week and my fic is only just over 60,000, which I think is pretty damn good considering the movie just came out a few weeks ago. Is it just me, or is this crazy?

LOL, now I'm thinking maybe I should go back to FFN to get more comments! OMG I AM SO JEALOUS OF ALL HER REVIEWS! I love getting lots of comments, and LJ's usually good about that. LOL I'm so bad, I shouldn't bitch at all, I'm only on part 5 after all. And the comments I am getting are COMPLETE AWESOMESAUCE! \o/

Also, I'm kind of incredibly hesitant about reading Star Trek fic. Even if it's really good. IDK, a lot of it doesn't really work for me, even if it's highly rec'd. *shrugs* I love great writing, but I worry sometimes. You know, will my characterization change b/c of something this author did? Will this affect my plot? Etc. But I think it probably won't. I've read lots of fics in other fandoms I write for and they didn't affect my writing. Meh, maybe when I'm done with the first major plot arc in Apogee I'll give it a go. If I've got some other fics done to. Plus, I saved what's available, it's not like it's going anywhere, right? :P

And about TDK, I just realized something epic. I DO NOT RELATE AT ALL TO BRUCE WAYNE. I mean it. I think this is why I have problems writing him. His actions make zero sense to me. I mean, the Joker I get. Completely. One hundred percent. No problem. But Batman is like the craziest character ever created, srsly. A billionaire who decides to dress up in black leather to look like a bat and fight crime? I mean, that's nuts. Lock him up and throw away the key nuts. At least the Joker makes sense. Batman is so crazy I don't know what to do when I'm writing him. *headdesk*

EDIT: My stupid profile page isn't doing what I want it to. Damn HTML code. *kicks*

So, today I went on my friends page and was SHOCKED to discover that no every single post was about TDK. I mean, I had some wincest, kurofai, and Harry/Draco in there. It confused me. Does everyone not share my immense and immediate fangirlish love of TDK? I conned my friend into going to see it tonight, so that'll be three times for me and siriuslyyellow. We're trying to get into IMAX at some point, not tonight, obviously. And I've also conned sizijee into coming with us next weekend! YAY!! <3

It's my new, and probably short-term, goal to spread Batman/Joker love around the world. <3

EDIT: OMG. Check this out. The Dark Knight is listed as the number 1 movie of all time in the IMDB's database, the fan-rated version. The top number 1 place was a tie between The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption, both of wich scored a 9.1. TDK has an average rating of 9.4. Holy shit. I'm assuming it will go down as the malcontents pour in and rate it, you know, 1 and so on, but still. What an amazing feat for a movie that's been out for, like, five days. <3
