Crime of Fashion

Yes, I'm that shallow. Everything that was wrong with Nicole Kidman's Golden Globes dress -- a point-for-point list. Really, when you're one of the most beautiful women in the world, you have no excuse for these kinds of mistakes. Boring would have been better than this travesty.

Enough about you. Let's talk about me.

I wrote a Good Omens story, "A Hole in the Hedge" for River tieleen as part of the Yuletide project and she's asked me to talk about my original intentions for the story (light, humorous) and how it actually turned out (one of the first readers told me it was a nice bit of suicide-inducing angst just in time for the holidays). Given that I'm equally torn between the insecure nobody's interested in me and the inner diva Me! Me! It's all about ME!, I decided that it's close enough to the DVD Commentary meme going around to soothe the worries and justify the ego.

When I got my Yuletide assignment, choosing which fandom was easy.

1. Johnny Maxwell (any - preferably future)


2. My So-Called Life (any)


3. Good Omens (Adam/Pepper)


4. Life As a House (any)

Let's see: a fandom I do not recognize (anime, perhaps?), a TV show I never watched, a book I adore, and a movie I have not seen. Decisions, decisions.

Oddly enough, I'd just re-read Good Omens, Neverwhere, and Night Watch in the month before signing up for Yuletide, so I felt that my head was definitely in the Pratchett-Gaimen space. But I'd have bet anything that I was closer to Terry than Neil. ( Little did I know.... )
