Dimestore Dames spotlights Meggan (aka Meggan Puceanu, Meggan Braddock, or Gloriana). I once managed to locate an icon of that moment where Meggan delivers cocoa to Kurt in the tub. Amusingly, hit the random icon button on Dreamwidth, and got that one first for this entry.

Veronica Mars will begin airing on SoapNet on Saturday, April 7th.

ETA: Disney Junior launches today; Soapnet to continue on some carriers. So in light of that tidbit, it all depends on where you live, whether or not you get to watch Veronica Mars.

I went back into my Yuletide sign-up a little while ago, and in the Bucket List tacked on Clue (1985). I debated whether or not to throw in Snow White And The Huntsman since we’ve only got a trailer and nothing else until 2012, before deciding to add it. As a reminder for anyone planning to sign-up, Yuletide sign-ups close Sunday, at 7 PM CST. I predict at least one more bout of editing for me before they close, since that’s how things go.

The trailer for the Christmas episode of Doctor Who was released—the title is The Doctor, The Widow, and the Wardrobe. Matt Smith appears as the Doctor on Children In Need, offers the clothes he’s wearing at that moment to charity.

Turns out you have to have created your journal before you apply at that RPG I mentioned in the last post. (Zooey Deschanel is now the PB.) So I'm trying to come up with a username for Cannonball, and am currently drawing a blank--other than flying_disaster, that is.

Beneath this second cut, you will find a poll. Simply write in your ideas for a username.

ETA: Please keep in mind this is a genderswap X-Men RPG, where Cannonball is female.


( Here is the poll )

And lastly, I just posted my first rec for crack_van.

ETA: Just so everyone knows, the poll runs until tomorrow afternoon.

A couple weeks ago, I signed up for helping out in the DC Fandom recs over at crack_van. So far, I haven't heard back about what month I could do. I signed up in this post. Does anyone know if that was the right post, or if I should have posted that I wanted to volunteer in a comment to a different entry?
