Just watched 'One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing' - a very silly & entertaining Disney movie from 1975 (I thought it was older, to be honest). Hugely politically incorrect (it features Peter Ustinov in yellow face... /o\), but also has the awesomest nannies ever (leaving Mary Poppins trailing according to the girls) and passes the Bechdel Test with flying colours.

So if you can cope with the wall-to-wall stereotypes (and that goes for every nationality), look it up if you want a laugh. :)

AO3!

AO3 Reaches 1 Million Fanworks !!!

In the day's honour I uploaded She Can Be. She Will Be. which is - if I had to choose - the River fic I'm the most proud of. (And still works perfectly omg. Looked through it and dear Lord, one of the lines has just gained immense new significance in the light of DotD...)

Anyway, I remember the events that spawned AO3, and the fact that it has over 1 million works representing 14,353 fandoms today is just amazing! Looking back, it started November 14, 2009 and I managed to snag an invite & join on the 16th! Goodness, I had no idea I got my foot in the door that early. :) And I still have lots of stories to upload...

But nevermind that - congrats to AO3, and well done fandom!
