EnigmaticPenguin (of death)

Here be lots of Mark Gatiss-obsession, Sherlock reblogging, random appreciation of Things-What-Be-Awesome and gif-experimentation.

Things you may or may not wish to know about me:

Folks usually call me Nicola - what with that being my name and all. I'm from the UK (Bristol specifically), am 27 years old and be of the female persuasion. I've been in a variety of interweb fandoms long enough to know better, own two gerbils, two hamsters and one taxidermy squirrel. I go by alocin42 in a few other places such as livejournal and AO3; if you can guess why you get a prize. I can't remember now why I chose this url instead of my usual name... maybe due to my strangely attractive enigmatic smile. Or maybe because I can kill you in any one of 412 different ways.

I'm always happy to respond to queries or random rambling questions; drop me an ask. And oh look, I'm on twitter too.

My Gatiss-wife is the lovely deathbygatiss and our Flower/Gore Girl is the blood-soaked andymillman.

Another article about fanfiction, this time in The Guardian, fueled, of course, by the success of 50 Shades of Author’s Sexual Fantasies Involving Edward Cullen Grey

A non-fandom friend mentioned this article to me earlier; it’s interestingly bollocks isn’t it? Particular factual errors that leap to mind are the misspelling of fanfiction.net and the term “slash” being used for erotic fics of any flavour - since when? It’s been slash, femslash and het in all the fandoms I’ve ever dwelt in.

They seem very fixated on the porn as well. They should try some fluff and casefic and see if that takes the edge off for them.
