A shiny new fanfiction journal for pandoras_shadow.

I write gen, het, and (fem)slash for any number of fandoms (mostly whichever ones amuse me at any given moment). Generally, in addition to the random, whatever fanfiction I am working on will include Alias, Farscape, Babylon 5, and something Whedon-esque.

My views on censorship and morality in fiction are most clearly reflected in this awesome post by beer_good_foamy (well, except for the whole baseball thing. I personally like seeing grown men play sports in their pajamas).

I really won’t say any more on the subject except that, indeed, there are many different types of relationships portrayed in this journal, and even in canonical het relationships I like playing around with traditional gender roles.

If this type of thing upsets you, there are many other lovely journals out there. Explore.


And now, time for quotes...

"One does not meet the match to one's state of being, one's phase, one's mood, never. We are all sitting on seesaws."

~Anais Nin

"You say that as a christian, you think any sex except that between a husband and a wife to be wrong. Well, as I recall, the bible also speaks against murder. We've depicted deaths by the hundreds of thousands. (And we're talking here about the *depicting* of the act, simply showing it, not the value judgements made after the fact.) Why does the one (which is so barely hinted at as to be almost invisible) cause the show to be diminished where the other does not?

My job is not to reinforce your personal political, social or religious beliefs. My job is not to reinforce MY personal political, social or religious beliefs. Then it isn't art or storytelling anymore, it's simply propaganda. My job is to tell this story, about these people, AS people, as mixed and varied as they are today. And there is no outside objective criteria as to what is, or isn't *necessary* in a story; that is the sole province of the author. You may or may not like it. You may or may not choose to watch it. Just as people who don't like to see religion and god discussed on TV may dislike it or choose not to watch it."

~ J. Michael Straczynski, re: Babylon 5

"It's worrying when Irina Derevko is the most tactful and emotionally aware member of your family group."

"Getting an education is a bit like getting a communicable sexual disease. It makes you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you have the urge to pass it on."

~ Terry Pratchett
