Now that I have seen the Narnia movie, why is it that NO ONE mentioned James McAvoy was basically playing Leto Atreides again, except as a faun instead of a Dune Worm?

THAT'S RIGHT BITCHES, THIS IS ACTUALLY AN UPDATE HUZZAH.


NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE OF JOY:
This post by ladyjaida is AWESOME, with some fabulous points and flailing re: the movie. Also, she made some William Moseley icons. And here she talks about how creepy it is that they've been adults and now they're kids again (I HAVE TOTALLY WRITTEN FIC ABOUT THAT, BITCHES)
An article on why Aslan is a Mary-Sue
Scroll for Narniaaaaa icons by dawn_icons
And Tris made some icons here, and she promised more yet did not deliver. That's her problem. No followthrough.
thehush: Tumnus and Lucy icons
In fact, Roz very obligingly memoried about a bazillion Narnia icon posts, so go scroll through that and cover LJ with Narnia love.
National Geographic talks about Narnia
Reaction posts: lovely one here
RPF-ery here
Is LWW allegory at all?
A poem about Susan by papersky.
What order should I read the Narnia books in (and does it matter)?

FIC-TASTIC:
teaspoon14 has written some delightful HP and Narnia (not crossovers) drabbles. Scroll for the Narnia ones, which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Pain and Magic, a House/HP crossover by violet_quill.
I forget how awesome Leda is, because she disappears for ages at a time, but Jigsaw is this AWESOME BSG gen fic that you should all read.

Muppets!
icons from Muppet Christmas Carol.

DCU:
A Very Small(ville) Crisis: a DCU in the Smallville verse challenge, hosted by Kassie. I am already plotting mine, and YOU SHOULD BE TOO, BECAUSE OMG AWESOME.

StarWars:
OMG HAN SOLO IN CARBONITE WATCHING OVER KAYLEEEEEE
StarWars in thirty seconds, reenacted by bunnies.

A, Miscellany:
The delightful shleemeri would like you to rec her some friends
Promo pictures for X3. This is me officially telling you all that I ship Pyro/Rogue and Colossus/Shadowkat.
ZOMG. The Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes thing is totally doom.
Huge Serenity spam.

AND I want you to talk about Christmas. I am not Christian (if pressed, I'm unlikely to actually talk about my religion at all), but I celebrate Christmas as a time to eat non-stop, get presents, and give presents, and not go to work. I watch A Muppet Christmas Carol at my parents' house with my sister, and The Nightmare before Christmas at my own house. I have lots of picnics and lunches with friends, and become obsessed with making something or other. This year's obsession is making things out of felt (there will be pictures in a bit). On Boxing Day I go to see a movie, and this year there will be more seeing of family and having lunches on that day, too. So, waffle about yours for a moment.

In conclusion, I wrote Narnia fic last night, and I am writing another one now, and you can't have any of it because Claira is at work, and therefore cannot beta it yet. The end.

you're kidding, right?! It's THIRTY EIGHT DEGREES outside. My air-conditioner is obviously not up to the challenge.

My best friend is in Liverpool at the moment, damn him. *migrates*

Dude, it is so cold you can migrate HERE and be happy. SO COLD I AM THINKING ABOUT PUTTING SOCKS ON. It's so cold even if it went up 15C we still wouldn't be near your temperature.

Fuck it, I will move to Perth. That way I will at least have cricket, and vegemite, and be able to bitch about lack of higher educational funding.

Is there any 'it's too hot to wear clothes' BSG cliche smut yet? Plenty of towel stuff, but sweaty pilots sexing would be fun.

ZOMG. TOO HOT TO WEAR CLOTHES THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

You should write it, because I'm shit at smut.
