Argh, I missed the Yuletide nominations. *facepalm* Oh, well. Given the enormous number of fandoms there are every year, I'm sure I'll find something. Or, rather, several somethings, as the Annual Winnowing Of The Fandoms for signups is always so difficult. I mean, it's a fabulous problem to have, but I do have to remember to set aside time to go through the list, because it always takes awhile.

I'm just sort of killing time right now, waiting for Sleepy Hollow to come on. I watched the pilot over the weekend (as of right now, it's still free to download from the iTunes store). The big plotline seems kind of ridiculous, but I like the two main characters so far, and I have a thing for futureshock as a trope.

Also, it inspired me to re-read Washington Irving's story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," and although I didn't finish it (I had a shortened lunch break today for various reasons, and that's when I get in most of my reading nowadays), I was kind of amused to see that Irving!Ichabod is not from England, but Connecticut.

Also also, I finished cross-posting my old fics to AO3, and apparently I was prolific enough to write so many fics that they take up nearly half of both the Mega Man Classic and Mega Man X sections. Granted, the Mega Man fandom is almost entirely absent from AO3, so it's not quite as big an achievment as it may seem.

OMG! I tried to read the Washington Irving story when I was head over heels for the Sleepy Hollow movie (Johnny Depp, fainting! Everyone in pale makeup! GOOD WITCHES!) and jfc, I wanted to throw that thing through a window, Ichabod is SUCH A DICK. And a terrible teacher too. You don't punish 'hardy' children more b/c they can take it!

Augh. I imagine that was the point, that Ichabod got his comeuppance for being a DICK, but I just couldn't read it at all.
