Not quite in 'flames on the side of my face' territory

Another reason I should not read fandomsecrets: I was unaware that someone had back-formed 'maja' as the feminine equivalent of 'mojo'. Now that I know this, I would really like to smack someone for it.

I had given up on James Lileks when he reproduced and immediately transformed into a crazed conservative warblogger. It was really a shame, because his work before that was really quite funny, even if it was the strange sort of mild but quietly desperate Minnesota humor that always strikes me as one step away from embarrassment squick.

He's also one of the foremost purveyors of Weird '50s Kitsch. Which is, I suppose, how he happened on the works of Art Frahm. (No thanks to panthyr for tipping me off to this thing's existence.)

Er - um - what - Lileks, what the hell? What the frelling hell?

I'm going to go look for Five/Master slash fanart now. It's a far healthier use of the celery.

Since I guessed in someone else's . . .

It's the Yuletide Guess Me Meme!

Here's the scoop: I wrote four pieces for Yuletide, all over 1000 words. Two were for fandoms I'd written previously; two were not. All being Yuletide fandoms, they're all small, relatively speaking, but two were for fandoms that I've seen a reasonable amount of fic out there for (not enough, but it exists), one was for a fandom I've only seen a tiny handful of fic for, and one was for a fandom I've never seen fic for at all.

None of them were Christmas stories. There is an important technological element in each of the four stories. There are no reindeer in any of the stories, nor any talking animals of any sort.

Comments are screened until the Yultide author reveal. Correctly guess any of the four stories before the reveal, and I will write a flashfic (< 1000 words) in any fandom I've previously written (your choice) for a one-word prompt of your choosing.
