I am up for auction! Okay, my work is.

I am up for auction at help_japan. This is one of those "Who knows if anyone will want this, but, hey, someone might!" type auctions, because what I am offering is: a review.

Yes! If you were looking for a bewildered review by someone who probably knows absolutely nothing about your fandom and may not be able to identify any of the characters by the end, never mind at the beginning, I am here for you. I will review any English-language (English subtitles also acceptable), Netflixable (if it will be Netflixable eventually, and you're willing to wait, that's fine) movie or TV episode you choose. I am not expecting kindness, either. I will totally watch Spock's Brain for charity.

Things to note: Whatever you pick for me can't have child death or animal harm in it. (It is okay if they're endangered, as long as it is clear they're fine in the end. And if it's just a tiny thing in an otherwise safe movie or episode - horses die in battle or whatever - I will deal.) Also, I can totally promise to write a review about whatever you want me to watch, but I can't promise to like it. I might! But I might not. And in any case I will almost certainly be poking fun at whatever it is. (See the TOS review below - I really do love TOS. But that doesn't mean I'm always nice to it.) Just something to keep in mind.

Some of my previous reviews, so you can decide if this is something you might wish to spend your charity donation currency unit of choice on: Anchors Aweigh, Star Trek TOS: Journey to Babel, and, as a total blast from the past, The Fast and the Furious.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, YAY! Bid at my thread.

ETA: K-drama partisans may wish to read the DW comments!

Sexbots. And cupcakes. What show IS this? Because, um, wow, that's two things I never expected to see together.

As an answer, I am just going to c&p an old LJ post in your general direction.

I've just watched a few episodes of Zettai Kareshi - a Japanese soap about a girl who is randomly selected to receive her very own sexbot. I am not sure I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't immediately pencil in a dozen exclamation points after the concept, but. But. The universe is more complete that there is a live action drama about a sexbot* in it.

*A surprisingly pg-13 rated sexbot drama, so far, unless maybe you are against guys running around in their underwear?

odditycollector: Okay, so the show seems to be divided into "the robot chasing her in case she wants to have sex with it" and "cupcake crises."
caia_comica: .....omg this show was written by the Superdictionary people!

I REMEMBER THAT POST. I even remember thinking that in an alternate universe where I actually watched - you know, things - I would have to see an episode of that, because SEXBOTS AND CUPCAKES.

Although mostly what I remember about that post is thinking that caia_comica is awesome. And very, very right.

Well if you ever do... it is mostly nonsense and gentlemen in underwear, and then entirely oblivious to its occasional interlude of Deep Existential Horror. Should a robot that has shown signs of self preservation beyond its programming be considered defective or the envoy of new form of sentience we are... uh. using as sexbots? What is consent, here? What if a robot extrapolates its future and responds with Do Not Want?

NEVER MIND HAVE A CUPCAKE.

(Also, it has a company that is the worst ever at focus group testing.)

Also, as you requested, I was going to tell you about the shoes! But I see you have found them.

[thefourthvine]

I cannot help but feel that there needs to be a Portal crossover with this fandom. Mostly because I want to read the line "THE CUPCAKE IS A LIE."

Also, YAY SHOES!
