t_h_e_hamster

I know I was going to start this years ago, but it never quite happened! It's not anything major and I really have no time for it, but I'm going to give a go at doing short reviews whenever I can. Naturally, it's swayed towards gay/slash, but other things are welcome too. I'm happy to have members who want to review stuff too, so go for it if you feel so inclined! All welcome, as long as we don't have fights starting over opinions. Opinions are exactly that: what you thought of it! Discussions welcome, but no wankery or flaming will be tolerated.

First review is up here: The Vintner's Luck. It's short, it's sweet and it's open for viewing!

This is a great idea! I would love to review things, except that I couldn't do it without, I don't know, not being serious. Not to mention the fact that I see movies about ten years after they come out (case in point, Star Trek which will be arriving on my doorstop on Tuesday).

Oh, my love! Review anything in whatever fashion you like! Or just watch what others come up with, if you want! I'd love for you to join us! It's supposed to be fun and we all see things differently (or slashily if you're me! ;-P) so I'm happy if you want to play around unseriously! Oh, and don't worry, I'm as slow myself most of the time! I rarely see movies unless they're kids' ones, or I am determined, in the year they're released! I think I've been to about three more adult-skewed ones this year! I'm happy for old or new things to be reviewed, and books, tv and music wil l all be featured at times too - they certainly don't have to be new! Please, please come and play! ;-)

Okay, I'm in! So, why "the hamster"? Or dare I ask? o_O

Umm, yeah. It's an acronym, but... hee, embarrassingly, I've forgotten the exact words...

Haldoor's A? Movie Series Television E? Reviews? something like that, but I can't for the life of me remember it just now. A few of us discussed this idea a couple of years back and were tossing around comm names and this one stuck. I even grabbed the name (with underscores in between as you see, due to the_hamster and thehamster already being taken) before someone else got it, but I never got around to doing much other than getting icons made back then. I'm so lazy and easily distracted!

Feel free to play around with the acronym! I may have to check back to those old entries from two years ago to find the correct answer... apparently I never even left the name in the comm profile (talk about dumb).
