I saw Fast and Furious 6 last night with my SO and another friend of ours. This was what I thought of it.

[community profile] rochelle_fans - A character community dedicated to Rochelle, the unappreciated heroine of Valve's Left 4 Dead 2. Why, you ask? Well, simply because, out of all the playable characters, Rochelle is one of my favorites and it puzzles me as to why she is unjustly ragged upon in the realms of L4D fandom, so I made this in dedication of my admiration of Miss Rochelle.

[community profile] shujaa_warrior - A community dedicated to Resident Evil 5 character, Sheva Alomar.

The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes

the cover of The Shining Girls


The girl who wouldn't die hunts the killer who shouldn't exist.

The future is not as loud as war, but it is relentless. It has a terrible fury all its own.

Harper Curtis is a killer who stepped out of the past. Kirby Mazrachi is the girl who was never meant to have a future.

Kirby is the last shining girl, one of the bright young women, burning with potential, whose lives Harper is destined to snuff out after he stumbles on a House in Depression-era Chicago that opens on to other times.

At the urging of the House, Harper inserts himself into the lives of the shining girls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. He's the ultimate hunter, vanishing into another time after each murder, untraceable-until one of his victims survives.

Determined to bring her would-be killer to justice, Kirby joins the Chicago Sun-Times to work with the ex-homicide reporter, Dan Velasquez, who covered her case. Soon Kirby finds herself closing in on the impossible truth... (source)


This is a story about the murder of women, viciously gendered violence, and the brutal nature of time.

I cannot stress enough: this book is about the serial stalking of young girls followed by their horrific deaths as adults by a sexualized male predator. It is, especially for those sensitive to malicious violence aimed at girls and women, something to be handled with care, and possibly not attempted at all. Read more... )

50th Anniversary Fanwork-a-thon-a-thon, Round Six: Six

(Secondary prompt: The Time Lords)


The fifth round is still in progress, but already signups have begun for the sixth in [community profile] who_at_50's series of monthly fanwork-a-thons counting down to the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. Six is the Doctor under consideration this month; orator, actor, bon viveur, trendsetter... And in light of the fact that they put him on trial for his existence, it seemed apt for June's secondary prompt to examine the Time Lords, in all of their heroic, villainous, godlike, ineffectual, indifferent, meddling glory, all ten million years of it. If you have any interest at all in Doctor Who fanwork, I urge you to take the time to look at the signup posts on the comm...and if it takes your fancy be sure to reply to them!

(For some California local definition of 'morning'!)

About 30 minutes ago one of our databases (sb-db03) locked up and stopped serving traffic. This was an active database, so the site quickly stopped when it could no longer serve requests. Alas.

I have failed us over to a backup database and now everything should be working again.

I'm not sure yet what happened to db03, but am currently investigating and will update this post if I come up with a root cause for the problem. Edit: It's back up and doesn't have any visible problems. Disks are fine, data's intact, etc. The graphs and logs show nothing. We'll have to keep an eye on it and see if it manifests further issues.

Sorry for the trouble, please let me know if you still see any problems!

After every round, the mod team likes to hear from our participants - how did we do? Did you have fun, did you enjoy your assignment, did you like your gift? We consider all the feedback we get and work through the off-season on the overarching question: how can we tweak our process next year to make things even more awesome?

We'd appreciate it if you took a couple minutes to tell us how you felt about DOINK! 2013. The poll is completely anonymous and confidential, so please be honest. The poll will be open for three weeks -- we'll give you a reminder before we close it. Thanks!
