ManCrunch: Coming to the Superbowl?

No, it's not a new, m/m themed breakfast cereal (though wouldn't that be fabulous?) It's a gay dating site that's trying to get their ad on the air during the Superbowl, and encountering the usual runaround.  The ad is great, and sure to make a lot of macho sports fan's heads explode.  Whether it makes in on the air or not, it's getting plenty of play online.  Help it go viral!

Home Again, Home Again, Again

Just got in.  After a day in the car, (nice smooth ride, by the way; entertaining clouds and sunset* in the afternoon), I'm madly Whiskerbiscuiting on Facebook.  No, Whiskerbiscuit is not Friskbiskit, though I do suspect a family connection between Princess Cheeseball and Todd's dog*.

I never know what to title posts like these

I'm busting ass to get Amaranth & Ash turned in before I go off to residency at the end of next week, and that means writing lots of sex scenes.  And writing lots of sex scenes means spending plenty of time on 4chan.  That's were I stumbled across these, though apparently they are from Warren Ellis. 

I really want to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie. It looks slasherific, an impression that's been confirmed for me by my friend JJ, who's seen it already and loved it. Another friend of mine hated it. She said it's nothing like the books. I don't care.

Literary Nymphs Holiday Chat

Literary Nymphs are hosting a week-long m/m chat on their loop, from Dec. 26 all the way through Jan. 1.  The LitNymphs chats are always a great time.  Tons of authors, tons of excerpts, and lots of fun topics too. It's a great way to sample a lot of new authors and build up that reading list so you can go spend all your gift money on more books!  So go check it out, and, if you're not a member of the loop yet, it's easy to join.

Gay on the Range

Love those kitschy old paperback covers?  Can't get enough lurid sixties and seventies era manlove?  Well Gay on the Range is the place for you.  They have a wonderful gallery of book covers from the golden age of queer pulp. 

And while you're strolling down memory lane, be sure not to miss The Golden Age of Gay Fiction, recently out from (who else?) Manlove Press.

Win BishieCon Swag!

The fabulous Boylove_addict and Librarian of The Phade forum, my roommates at BishieCon, are holding a contest for a bag of goodies they picked up at the convention.

Swag includes hot bookmarks from Jet Mykles, a 20% discount code for Dreamspinner Press, and a free copy of Katrina Strauss' BLUE RUIN 4: NEED YOU TONIGHT. That's a nice package, don't you think?

Here's Boylove_addicts lj post on the contest, and here's the direct link to the contest itself. Contest runs through Monday, Nov. 30 at 10 pm EST.  That's tomorrow night, so don't delay!

BishieCon Here I Come

So it's official!  I am attending BishieCon, the midwest's first yaoi convention, it St. Louis this weened.  I'm so excited about getting to hang out with author guest of honor Katrina Strauss and my pals Aurora Alexander and Librarian from The Phade.  Not to mention artists Studio Kosen and a whole lot of enthusiastic yaoi fans.  It's going to be great.

Thanks to Katrina, I'll be on a panel about writing a steamy sex scene and one on querying publishers. I also have a table where I'll be signing promo and taking applications for contributors to Friskbiskit. And of course I'll be attending the bishie auction, natch. Here's the website for the convention if you want more details on the kinds of hijinks we'll be getting up to. 

Hey, if you're planning on attending, let me know in a comment, and if you live in the St. Louis area, come on by!

Jumpin' George Clooney! It's a Photo Caption Contest!

Whoever pens the funniest caption for this wonderful pic of the handsome George Clooney being rather silly indeed, wins a free Jessica Freely title of their choice.

Men Kissing on British TV

Stumbled on this the other day and had to post it. 

I have no idea who these guys are, but, I just love how totally thrown off his game the host is afterward. I think he really felt something, don't you?

Flipping Out

Hey, on a whim I stopped by the electronics section at Target today because I've been having technolust for those Flip video cameras w/ the usb attachment built right in, and lo and behold, they had a display model on sale for $75 bucks!  I snagged it, took it home, plugged it in and hey wow, it works!  Check it out:

Kim Jong-il Institutes Totalitarian Slash Regime

Here's proof that yaoi will in fact take over the world.  And to think I limited myself to slashing the U.S. cabinet.

This is a fan vid for a Japanese erotic game based on the premise of dating a world leader. And here's more on that game.

Thanks for turning me on to this, Alex.

Happy Halloween!

Trippy Trek

Big shout out to St. Michael for turning me on to this one:

This faboo Star Trek vid was created by stargrossedgirl.  Thanks for letting me gank you, hon!

Barack Obama, Jedi Master

Pretty much impossible to be down on a day that starts with this:

from The Empire Strikes Barack - Barack Obama - Gawker.

And you just know I am dying to write some Obama-Star Wars crossover slash to go with this.  And I have a full schedule today.  Argghh!  Help me, Obamawan Kenobi!
