I'm pimping a new quarterly erotica magazine that is squarely aimed at turning women on. A great deal of research was done to find out what women like in their erotic images, writings etc, partly via the LJ community thefemalegaze Its self-published by a Kiwi living in London, Suraya Singh.

I haven't seen the hard copy of the magazine yet but the photos of semi-naked men from it are beautiful and artfully photographed - not those horrible beefcake shots of some muscled 'hunk' that is usually put in women's magazines to titilate us but which tends to do nothing for my nether regions. :P

Filament Magazine LJ site - guidelines for submission here

Short story featured in Filament that was published in The Independent newspaper - worth a read - its an M/M one

Interview with Suraya Singh - editor and self-publisher of the mag

Review of Filament Magazine from Erotica Cover Watch - with a couple of lovely photos

You can purchase it via the website and can view some of the content there also. I highly recommend it - for those of us who love magazines and erotica I think its what we've been waiting for. I also think many of you writers should submit some of your short pieces for it.

Adam Lambert really wanted to perform Muse during AI. he wanted to do Super Massive Black Hole (I would have fainted) or Starlight (I would have cried). I adorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre Muse.

OMG this is just hysterically funny. And also shows how totally cool Kris is. Adam and Kris seem like they've known each other for years - just too adorable.

I dedicate this to we_dreamerz cos I know you love Kradam!

Just a few NNITL icons.

This weekend is one of my fave comms qaf_rewind discussion of the FINAL EPISODE of QAF.

I think I joined for ep 112 and have enjoyed the ride. I'd only just discovered QAF when I joined and was so happy to have a comm to discuss it with people who were still into discussing it. :) The Mods are so dedicated and have lead awesome discussions, provided fan fic recs for each episode and a weekly soundtrack poll.

This promo for Season 5, with cast talking about what will happen in Season 5, seemed appropriate to post this week.

Join in for the final epi discussion on Saturday.

I feel like I've been very AWOL on LJ. I've been around but not posting much (bit of a block going on still).

Thanx so much to the lovely people who left me love at amelialourdes  Valentines Secret Admirer Extravaganza. Awww I was really touched by the nice comments ♥ *group hugs flist*

DH starts here tonight - Gale's first epi - eeep! I've seen it on youtube but seeing him on TV is better. After that the new season of 'Brothers and Sisters' is on which I haven't seen yet. I loved S2 much more than S1 so hopefully S3 is even better.

I wrote this recently for inner_justin so I thought I'd post it here for those that might not have seen it.

My muses came out of hiding for this but then they went back. I'm coaxing them out again for more writings...

 

( THE ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF MY DIRTY MIND )

RL has me down and LJ has me a little bit down. But with the Inauguration tomorrow I feel it a good time to perk up and embrace life and life on LJ too. :D Fic recs seemed a positive thing to do right now.

This fic from legalmonet has the QAF gang heading to Washington DC for the Inauguration. I'm really looking forward to how it unfolds as it is a fic with a difference.
ALL-AMERICAN QUEERS: ALL SOULS ON BOARD (Pt. 1)

I'm really hooked on kinwad GIVE AND TAKE - a series with Dr Alex and an original character Dr Warren Alpert, who's a very interesting character, who both Brian and Justin turn to for help.

discothequey 'Everything' follows on from 'The IM Sessions' and is the sequel to 'Something Beautiful'. EVERYTHING

Unfortunately my fatigue is so bad and I can't even sit at the computer right now. More recs tomorrow hopefully.

Remember what brought us all to the QAF LJ comms. Focus on the good, ignore the bad. Tomorrow's a new day.
