(no subject)

I've barely been around the last few weeks, and I'll not be around at all for the next few -- am leaving tomorrow for a long trip, during which I don't expect to go near a computer. The irony, of course, is that just at the moment there are a few different conversations-with-fandom I'm itching to start -- one about writing porn, another about season-long arcs in TV, and still another about the movie "Shortbus," which I saw last night -- but it seems pointless to begin those conversations and then disappear. I may write up a couple LJ entries today, so I don't forget what I wanted to say, and then post them when I get back, so I can actually participate in the ensuing discussion.

On another note, I'm a loser, baby, and didn't finish my SV Harlequin story, but many other people who are cooler than me *did*, and those stories are being posted all week, so get thee to harlequin_sv and read! Also, heap praise upon teot, who organized the whole thing and is a Righteous Babe.

And man, but I really, really want to talk to you guys about "Shortbus." Have any of you seen it? If you're at all interested in graphic-but-not-sleazy sex on film, or sex as a focus of storytelling, or gutsy and warmhearted film-making, I highly recommend it. It's fascinating and charming and... somehow the word I want to use is human. And it's filling my head with thinky thoughts that I will now write down elsewhere so that I can have a substantive conversation about this in the second week of April.
