Bianca Ryan. She was the first winner of America's Got Talent, at 11 years old. She's 18 years old and she would have been perfect for Janis Joplin - she has a tremendous voice and she looks more like JJ than Amy Adams.

I think if a man is already growing his hair out to bra length or longer, they might as well braid or pin up their hair however they like. Granted these styles in particular are extremely feminine (ribbons and flowers and whatnot), but any one of those guys could rock some Willie Nelson braided pigtails. People who…

I just want to say that a nursery decorated with images of animals and trees native/unique to the U.S. would be AMAZING.

Seconded! This is gorgeous. Adele, cover this shit ASAP!!!

What a precious little cutie! OMG, that adorable face!

Obama also campaigned in Texas in 2012. Former members of the Obama campaign team have created the group Battleground Texas. Our national leadership is paying attention to the writing on the wall. What we need now is for rank and file Democrats and liberals to help rather than mock.

I wish everyone that rushes to post a comment or a story about how Texas is such an asshole-producing cesspool also rushes to donate to Wendy Davis's campaign if and when she announces that she's running for governor. Maybe if we got a little more support from liberals outside the state we could turn things around in…

If she's Retard Barbie then he's Cripple Ken.

And a bra-free zone.

I would feel sorry for Kim if she and the rest of her family weren't such shameless fame whores of the highest caliber. The fact that they have sought out media attention, especially tabloid attention, time and time again for years, effectively kills off any sympathy I might have for the way those same tabloids are…

Tell me about it. I LOVE fan fiction and I have read some cuh-RAY-zee story premises in my day (and enjoyed a fair few of them!) but I will never, ever understand the sibling incest kink. Maybe it's because I'm a woman and my only sibling is an older brother, but the idea of having sexual thoughts/feelings/desires…

She was a very big name fan in the Harry Potter fandom. Her fan fics were widely-read within the fandom. The fact that her stories hadn't appeared in print is irrelevant as, for the intents and purposes of building up a fan base and a reputation as an author, she was "published" online. When she finally did land a…

That... explains a lot, actually. I just remember thinking that even though it was the hardcore HP fans that brought the wank to FW's attention, it was the community at large that made it so hilarious with all the comments, even if a bunch of the comments were bellyaching about Harmonian wank, yet again. Once the…

Welp, I know how I'll be spending my weekend. Bookmarking... now!

An incest kink?! I'll say! "Mortal Instruments" was the name of her Ron/Ginny Harry Potter incest fan fiction.

Yup, those Mugglenet shipping essays were the best and Angua9 was my favorite author. She was a R/H shipper and she argued that even if she didn't ship them personally, she (and pretty much every other rational person who read the books) could clearly tell that Rowling was writing them to end up "together" because…

I mostly remember that Dom got shipped IRL with Billy a lot and that there was a lot of individual insanity aimed at Dom and Elijah. Have I deleted massive Dom/Elijah IRL shipping from my mind shanty? Or am I remembering Billy Boyd getting shipped with Dom when it was really Elijah? At the time I was only…

I never really considered myself part of the online Harry Potter fandom at that time because I rarely commented (and only ever on the Sugarquill) and I didn't produce any fan fiction or fan art. But man, I was all over those sites. The Sugarquill, Gryffindor Tower, Fiction Alley, Fandom Wank - I loved it! It was…

The Harmonians produced the more amazeballs online wank but I have to admit that the R/H shippers topped them with the real-life wank. The Gryffindor Tower meltdown was incredible to watch in real time.

I was such a lurker on fandom_wank and bad_penny back in the day. The Harry Potter wank from the Harry/Hermione shippers was legendary. Then all that wank got banished to the cornfield and thus began the decline of fandom_wank, IIRC. I do distinctly remember that hp_cornfield never really took off.
