time of your life

So I've spent the last few days marathoning Community like crazy and I'm finally all caught up! I loved it, only wish I discovered this gem earlier. My thoughts:

( Me and Abed have an agreement. If one of us dies, we stage it to look like a suicide caused by the unjust cancellation of Firefly... )

+ Today I also finally caught up on Once Upon a Time just in time for its return this Sunday! :) A few thoughts on this show as well...

( No matter what you do, I will always find you )

+ For those of you who are Cesare/Lucrezia fans, there is a commentfic meme going on right now over at cesare_lucrezia, check it out!



+ This is random, but I also was stamped as Morgana in a recent merlin_land challenge, and feel honored! <3 ;) Still need to finish season 4 of Merlin...



+ I saw The Adventures of TinTin last night, and while visually stunning, it was one of the excruciatingly boring, interminable 2 hours of my life...:/ I think sadly it's one of those things you have to be a fan of already to really appreciate (unless you are a kid). Another Moffat gutter-ball for me.

 

So tonight I'm pimping two different land/challenge communities that both have to do with the BBC/British Television:  merlin_land  and bbcland!

First there's merlin_land, where I am a proud co-Team Leader (along with the lovely blue_emotion) of the resident Team HBIC, otherwise known as Team Morgana! ;)


(banner by....blue_emotion.  Maker of all banners it seems...;))

Basically if you enjoy Merlin, or have ever done so in the past (and perhaps still wish to remain involved in the fandom even if you are no longer into the show so much, as in my case), if you enjoy doing fanart/fanfic/whathaveyou or discussing or just playing games, if you're looking for new friends in the fandom (I made several of my closest LJ friends on this comm!), if you just want to have FUN, then this is a place for you! :)  There are all kinds of different challenges for everyone, as you compete on different teams (Morgana, Merlin, Arthur) to get the most points.  Really, I'd say 90% of my creative output for Merlin has resulted from this comm, which pushed me to really write/complete fanfic for the first time, my first picspams, etc.

Then there's bbcland, which is similar to merlin_land (and you can do Merlin-related things), except that you can also play around with other BBC/British TV fandoms....like this:



There I am also a co-Team Leader, but this time of Team Sci-Fi, naturally! ;)  The other teams are Drama and History.  In both cases you don't have to participate in every challenge, only some of them, and many of them are quick ones for those crunched for time.

So if you are addicted to BBC shows, and would like to meet new people and have fun, then consider checking out these two comms! ;)

Also, while I'm at it, I forgot to mention in my last post that naty_seixas made a Tumblr for Cesare/Lucrezia that is affiliated with the cesare_lucrezia  comm, so all you Tumblr types who enjoy the pairing should check it out! ;)

And Happy Borgias Day everyone!  If anyone is interested in a live episode discussion post, there's one going on here! ;)

For my second picspam for the current challenge at merlin_land , I decided to focus on my favorite episode of the series, "To Kill the King" (1x12), which I also find to be the most beautiful visually...
( Cut for teh pretty )

Well right now there's a comm pimping challenge going on over at merlin_land, so here is my own pimping effort, using the lovely current comm header made by fellow Team Morgana member and Leader blue_emotion! ;)


If you a) like Merlin (or even if you used to, and are now somewhat disenchanted), b) would like a way to stay involved or be more involved in the fandom (make more Merlin-related art or fanmixes or picspams, discuss the episodes and other questions, write fanfic, etc), and c) have a little free time and a competitive spirit (such that you always wanted to compete in a House Tournament) and want some fun, then do check out this comm! :)  I've met so many great people through it, and have made so many fanworks that I would not have done or completed otherwise because of it (especially fanfic).

If you do decide to join, please mention my name in your application post, so I can get extra points for Team Morgana! ;)  And please make sure that you will actually participate with some regularity before joining, as there have been issues of people joining and then never participating, making Team numbers misleading....
