Short film is an artform. To tell a visual story in under ten minutes within this medium can be challenging for film makers and often the results are varied.

MoreI can’t believe I’m typing this, but… Bill Compton is the most interesting character so far this season of True Blood.

I don’t even know why I bother reading it anymore; I’ve got it memorized (which, believe you me, is very handy if you ever complete a M.A. in English).

MoreAuthor: Cassis Luna Read the story here Ok, I swear that I don’t only read slash fanfic…that may or may not be a lie. I’ll never tell. Regardless, I’m a sucker for the we-used-to-hate-each-other-now-we-lust-after-each-other trope. All that angry frustration turned into sexual frustration? Yes, please.
