First times

[wiseheart]

Firstly, the good one: I went to Etka Yoga for the first time today. It's not yoga in the traditional sense, rather a series of stretching and twisting exercises, which will probably be good for my bad back. I have no high hopes for the hissing and whistling noises in my ear that I've been having on and off for months by now. All women in our family had them, at least up to three generations. It's stress related, and once it appears, it won't go away again. But one learns to live with it. Etka Yoga is fun, though, so I'll go there again.

Secondly, I got my first rabid homophobe reviewer. Some idiot poured out his/her hatred against homosexuality in general and slash fic in particular on my FF.Net review board, leaving a long rant disguised as a review for "The Equinox Logs". More or less along the line "you write well, why do you write such utter shit and why don't you warn us poor, sensitive souls that there will be perverted stuff".

Idiots tire me so much.

And normally you are more of a canon conscious person than I am and your deductions and extrapolations in LOTR were so good that some thoughts and ideas forced me to look at my own Ardaverse critically. I cannot imagine it to be any different with your sci-fi (Star Trek Voyager? Stargate? something else?) stories.

Thank you. :)
You are right, I do hold canon in very high regard, in all my fandoms - which, in my opinion, actually gives me the right to break or bend it, when I find it necessary for the sake of a particular story.

As for my other stories, I write Star Trek (all incarnations except Enterprise, which I hate with a passion), Babylon 5, Stargate - Atlantis, Space: Above and Beyond, Battlestar Galactica (original only - I hate the new version so much I can't even watch it), mostly AUs or crossovers.

Plus I work occasionally on my insanely huge vampire crossover AU, which contains Angel, Buffy, Kindred: The Embraced and Poltergeist: The Legacy, and some parts of it are crossed over with the US-version of Queer As Folk.

It's all on my Otherworlds , (http://k.domaindlx.com/otherworlds2/) website for sci-fi and horror stuff, in case you are interested.
