Dear Hunger Games Fandom,
Saying you can’t be bothered to participate in Black March because The Hunger Games is out? Sounds a lot like someone from Panem saying they can’t be bothered to protest the capitol because they want to watch the actual hunger games. You’re letting yourself be distracted from your anger at the government by the media — which is, you know, kind of...

how to query a literary agency
okay, full disclosure: I’m not a literary agent. I am currently a lit agency intern, which means that I read the slush that comes in, and honestly, some people just don’t seem to understand how to query. I am the gatekeeper in a lot of ways; the slush-readers are the first eyes on your manuscript and if you do not impress them, you will not get passed on to an agent.
So here are my...

“I used to say,” Soloway writes, “the only people who don’t like rape jokes...”
– Jill Soloway, writer for Six Feet Under
from this article
Can we talk about how fucked up this is? I understand a few of Soloway’s other points from the article, but this is just so monumentally disturbing to hear on so many levels that I cannot even take anything else she says seriously. I...

As I’m sure most Sherlock Holmes fans are aware, Lucy Liu has been cast to play Dr Joan Watson in the upcoming CBS adaptation Elementary. This is very exciting news for us at Bustles and Bullets, since not only is John Watson being genderbent, but also racebent. We do have some worries about the portrayal, but only the sense of how women and minorities are treated in...

Modified Black March.
karenhealey:
So I reblogged a thing about the Black March boycott, which is a proposed measure to fight against SOPA/PIPA.
And then the clever Rachel Edidin pointed out that, actually, if I avoid all media purchases during March, I will actually be hurting a hell of a lot of small producers and creatives who don’t support SOPA/PIPA - the very people most threatened by this ridiculous...

I feel you. I totally get stressed out watching it sometimes. and would read that au. though I really want more people to write southland fic also!
I would love to write Southland fic but I honestly don’t know how good I would be at writing Ben or Coop or anyone. In the meantime I will dream of cop!eduardo...

crimescene replied to your post: do you watch southland? lucy liu is awesome in it so far this season.
you should catch up! 1. because she’s awesome and 2. because the show is ridiculously great. I think it just gets better, honestly.
I will at some point when I feel like I can cope with it; it’s kind of a tough show to watch, emotionally. Also I have an absurd attachment to Ben...

Tumblr: America needs to stop being racist and sexist, pay more attention to women and PoC ok
CBS: Hey guys guess what we decided Watson should be played by a Taiwanese, female actress in our version of Sherlock Holmes
Tumblr: NOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT HOW DARE YOU I AM BOYCOTTING YOUR SHOW I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED
#i don't feel like it's a show i would watch (cbs? well then) #but the fact that they decided to go against the grain #and hire not only a woman #but one of non-white descent #that's progressive #so i'm really ashamed of all the posts and reblogs i've seen complaining against it #if you dont like it just dont watch it #but dont you dare fucking complain when a talented woman earned a role because of her talent

I am now imagining this exchange in a future...
Abed: Oh, everyone needs to be extra careful this week.
Jeff: Why's that?
Abed: It's Sweeps Week. High-rating shows always have some big mind-blowing event in Sweeps Week to get ratings. Someone dies, or there's a natural disaster.
Jeff: Abed, for the last time, this is not one of those shows!
Abed: No, you're probably right. Some shows just have some big Oscar-winning actor make an appearance.
Jeff: This is Greendale. I doubt there's an Oscar-winning actor in the entire state, let alone one about to walk through the study room door.
Dean Pelton: *walks through the study room door* Hel-looooooo!

– Ken Watanabe talking about the time he shared rice balls with Leonardo Dicaprio and Cillian Murphy during the filming of Inception (x)
the part of this story we should all reflect upon is that Ken Watanabe carries onigiri in his pockets. Like this is just something he has. In his pockets. All...

Ouch. That sounds horrible. D= It was just so them that I could barely separate it from my headcanon afterwards. Everytime someone in another fic joked about killing someone, I flinched. There are not upsetting parts? Will the end crush my soul?
There are bits of it that are really cute and sweet but...
