Kindle Worlds: the most pointless thing in the history of things

Now you can pay for fanfiction of three specific TV shows! Stories may not include any crossovers or references to other shows, excessive use of brand names, or explicit sexual content! 

I genuinely wish the writers who decide to participate the absolute best - I hope you manage to make money, and if you do, tell us all how you did it because there is literally nothing in it for the readers. It doesn’t come with any editorial input so there’s no more guarantee of quality than diving into the Archive Of Our Own.

And the shows: Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars.

… ah, it all begins to make a certain amount of sense. Good old Alloy.

grimsperation: Michele Caragher  Embroidered details in Game of Thrones  ‘Michele Carragher is a London-based Hand Embroiderer and Illustrator who has been working in costume on film and television productions for over 15 years. She studied Fashion Design at The London College of Fashion, where the course incorporated design, pattern cutting, garment construction, embroidery, millinery and illustration. At the same time she attended a three year evening course in Saddlery at Cordwainers College learning skills in leatherwork. After leaving college Michele worked in Textile Conservation, repairing and restoring historical textiles for private collectors and museums, specialising in hand embroidery. She then moved into a career in costume for film and television, initially working as a Costume Assistant/Maker on productions such as the BBC’s Our Mutual Friend, ITV’s David Copperfield and Mansfield Park. She soon gravitated towards the decoration and embellishment of costumes, using skills in hand embroidery and surface decoration, taking inspiration from the many historical textiles she had encountered working as a Textile Conservator.  The first production that saw her undertake the role of a Principal Costume Embroiderer was for HBO’s 2005 Emmy Costume award-winning production of Elizabeth 1. Her most recent work has been on HBO’s 2012 Costume award-winning television series Game of Thrones, working on all three seasons. As a Costume Embroiderer Michele specialises in hand embroidery and surface embellishment, using traditional hand embroidery techniques, smocking, beading and surface decoration. She works directly onto the completed garment or starts with motifs and textures on silk crepeline/organza, which are applied to the costume and then worked into once on the actual garment. She also works on existing machine embroidery designs that are not too dense, adding some hand stitching and beading to give a more authentic, hand-finished look. Michele finds hand embroidery has more flexibility and diversity than that of embroidery created by machine, as there is a greater variety of thread choice and colours to use. It is also possible to work more easily on garments that are already constructed. However, machine embroidery in combination with hand work can be very useful when completing many repeats by creating light outlines or a less dense machine stitch, work can then be completed by hand and again can be carried out on a finished garment. Michele is a highly creative Costume Embroiderer, producing original designs as well as working closely to a costume designer’s brief to create their desired look.’ Text and images from  http://www.michelecarragherembroidery.com

So, uh…that thing about Catman and Deadshot I just posted may be the most painful thing I’ve ever written.

Um. And I have a new microphone to test.

So…have a recording of me reciting The King Shark Poem to make up for it?

EVERYONE LISTEN TO THIS RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

Seriously. This.

THIS.

Is why the internet is a thing!

Holy crap. I haven’t even read the comic (though I have seen that one page go past on Tumblr) but this made me properly tear up laughing.

Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton as vampire rock gods in Jim Jarmusch’s upcoming Only Lovers Left Alive

I am so here for this, and Byzantium as well. I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve seen a really cool vampire movie and now there are two and one is a mother/daughter story and one has Hiddleston and Swinton in it. I am WELL EXCITED.
