I'm frustrated with LJ being down, and I've been reluctant to post on DW when I can't necessarily crosspost to LJ. But, you know, screw that.

Mind you, I don't have much to say right now. So help me out? Share something: a thought, an opinion, a link, a rec for something you love (doesn't have to be fannish), a picture, whatever.

Here a fannish thought from me: it puzzles me a bit that the XMFC fandom seems so split between "political" fics and shippy fics. Properly written Charles/Erik is going to be so fucking political it hurts. Same for most of the other likely pairings I can think of, too, including Charles/Moira, Erik/Raven, Havok/Darwin, Raven/Hank, etc.

And a rec: China Miéville's blog (RSS on DW here). He started out just posting pictures, and he still does post some awesome ones, but increasingly he also posts political commentary and odd, dreamlike narrative fragments.
