Title: Kingdom Up For Sale (1/9) Author:ProfessorSpork Character/Pairing: Quinn-centric gen, featuring Quinn/Sam friendship, canon!Fuinn, and vague hintings at potential Faberry if you squint, with guest appearances by the rest of the gleeks. Rating: PG-13 Summary: She owes him, and he needs her. And if it turns out that maybe she needs him, too… well. Sam and Quinn, from Comeback to Rumours. Disclaimer: I don’t own them. Author’s Notes: So, once upon a time—and by once upon a time I mean right after Rumours came out—I set out to write a fic about Quinn helping Sam babysit, because I thought that dynamic would be really interesting to explore. Somehow, this evolved into a massive exploration of all of Quinn’s issues three months in the making. I have no regrets. The title is a lyric from Gold Dust Woman, off the Rumours LP, because—well. Relevant.
I liked this. It starts off almost more in Sam’s point of view and it’s how you’d imagine they’d actually interact, if they were anything like real characters. Though I don’t think Quinn would blame herself for ruining so many things in Sam’s life, but I figure the cheating plus the homelessness and everything else going on with her is enough.
And as with most well-written general fics, while I may start off hoping for Faberry, I’d actually rather not see it, or definitely not as any kind of major goal.
(And read on FFN, LJ’s having the weirdest trouble. Varnish Error 503? Damn Russian hackers.)

Yes! Yes. There could be the argument that RM paid his dues with Popular, but really, its second season blew. It couldn’t compare to Wonderfalls. And Glee certainly doesn’t compare to Pushing Daisies, which is near the pinnacle of television.
Even if Pushing Daisies were still around, I’d dislike the direction Glee’s going in, but to have one and not the other… I like ya, April Rhodes, but you are no Olive Snook.

There is a word that we really need removed from our normal conversations which is “raped” people throw the word raped around too casually. Have you ever played video games online & listened to the way people talk to each other? “Aw dude you just shot me in the back. you raped me.” I’m pretty sure if I sat down with a woman who has been through that horrific situation & said “can you describe what that was like going through this?” she’s not gonna look at me & go “Have you ever played Halo? It’s like getting hit in the face with a gravity hammer by a camper” or “you ever get an estimate on a automobile repair & you go to pick up your car & it’s double, it’s just like that.”
