My holidays were super busy with family stuff so I've barely been on LJ at all, which means I didn't get a chance till now to rec the SUPER AMAZING FICS I GOT FOR YULETIDE.

My main fic was INSANELY PERFECTLY AIMED AT MY INTERESTS, because tearupthesky got assigned to me for the second year in a row. Haha, poor kid. But she wrote me THE BEST PARKS & REC RON/ ( Read more... )

You guys, I got THREE (3) full-length Ron/April Parks & Recreation fics for Yuletide! THREE AMAZING TROPE FICS JUST LIKE I ASKED FOR!! What Christmas miracle is this?? By far my most amazing yuletide ever, gift-wise, and SO UNEXPECTED, I was completely freaking out. ALSO, dear flist, I am giving all of you the side-eye, because my requests did not ( Read more... )

1) Every spring I get excited when it's finally warm enough to have the windows open... and then every spring I remember why every fall I'm psyched when we get to shut the windows, because suddenly I can hear everything that's going on in the whole neighborhood. Dear lady who every night at 10 pm for the past three years has called, "Kitty! Kitty ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm aware the subset of people interested in this is probably very small, but NONETHELESS. Haha, remember how I'm writing that completely ridiculous Band of Jonas Brothers crossover? Well, that has SPAWNED into another AU, this one where they're all at a high school. I don't know, can't explain it, but it has given me more joy than, like, ( Read more... )

Okay, just getting in under the wire for the reveals, here are some of my recs for yuletide. God, there were SO MANY fics this year, and they were all so SOLID. So instead of linking everything that I have in my delicious (which, if you want to see all my yuletide2008 delicioused fic, it's here), I'm only reccing the really stand out stuff that I ( Read more... )

• One Great City by kyrafic (The Office, Andy/Oscar) -- Somehow, miraculously written in the two hours after last week's episode, and AMAZINGLY GOOD. It's like a deleted scene of DOING IT, and if you have any eyes at all, that's what you wanted for Andy and Oscar after last week's episode. Faaaabulous.
• Chemicals Collide by ( Read more... )

I'd remind you Americans to go vote, but like any of you could forget. I was literally woken up TWICE this morning by different people texting me to remember to vote, which made me furious. Uh, I AM NOT GOING TO FORGET, first of all, I go to fivethirtyeight.com like ten times a day lately (it's like science! joyful science!), and second of all, I ( Read more... )

You will be pleased/alarmed to know that my Jonas Band of Brothers fic has topped 15,000 words. I... have not slept very much this week, you guys. Wtf wtf. Ummmmmmm the heart wants what it wants ( Read more... )

Last night around 7, moireach and I got on the T and in the car two people were sleeping on top of each other in what is I think the funniest thing I've ever seen on the subway. It's almost impossible to describe how they were collapsed all loose-limbed and weird on top of each other, like they were androids someone had switched off abruptly, so here's a ( Read more... )

This semester has been super dee-duper busy -- but just this week I finally turned in my final grades (at 3 am Monday night -- sooooo responsible), and earlier this month my prospectus passed (hooray! Now all I have to do is... write the dissertation? Pshaw, piece of cake. Haha. Ha.), so I've gone from being extremely busy to being not busy at all ( Read more... )
