I pulled myself (mostly!) away from Star Trek fic and have been focusing on the buffyverse, specifically good old spring_with_xan. We just ended the season and I'm here to pimp fic and the community!

First, fic!! I had the privilege of co-writing with reremouse and savoytruffle. A very special thank you to those talented writers for their awesome work on the story. In particular, a ( Read more... )

The nice thing about comms like buffyversetop5 is that they inspire me to organize rec lists and celebrate my favourite writers and artists in the fandom.

Here's the posts I did for buffyversetop5:

Hi! *waves* It's been ridiculously long since I posted that I think I may have forgotten how. Okay, clearly I know how since I'm doing it. :D But after so long the whole posting thing seems so intimidating. BUT I have such exciting news which I very much want to let you know about:

(quote from btvs 5:4) So I thought I would share What I Did While LJ Was Down:

1. Lamented to myself that I’d recently posted Chapter Three of If I Can’t Dance (my new S/X fic) and now it was likely to have low readership and comments. (What? That wasn’t a subtle self-pimp?! *ahem ( Read more... )

I have a rec for you all! I'm particularly excited to recommend this fic because it's not the usual pairing I read so I feel confident it will be enjoyed by all, regardless of shipping preference.

Rain by apreludetoanend - Giles/Spike, PG-13

It's set post-The Gift, and is a heart-breaking, touching and gorgeous story. To tantalize you, here's how it begins:

It’s icy and snowy outside (thankfully not the loss of power and crazy ice storm conditions other people have been experiencing - although it has been freezing rain today), so I’ve been enjoying my day off by snuggling under a blanket and catching up on my TV watching ( Read more... )

Look! Look! I have a gorgeous new default icon!!!! It's made by the super talented apreludetoanend, who generously made it as a holiday gift. This is my favourite Spike/Xander scene on the show, and the scene that made me think "you know, they'd be a cool pairing" so I'm very thrilled to have such a beautiful icon of it - isn't the lighting impressive?! Everyone ( Read more... )

You know those multi-fandom icon posts that'll have things like Buffy, Angel, Veronica Mars and Doctor Who, and then there'll also be some of Lindsey Lohan or Christina Aguilera? And you're like - or I'm like - Lindsey Lohan? Christina Aguilera?!! WTF?! Well, I blame those posts (which I do enjoy cause I like chancing upon icons I wouldn't ( Read more... )

Tonight I have thoughts about the Smallville season finale and fanfic recs!!!

( Smallville 'Vessel' 5:22 )

Holy Crap!! That was pretty much my reaction last night. Oh, and I was shaking.

It was such an intense tv night, I was only able to watch Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls. I noticed an interesting - and unspoilery - similar theme in both episodes. Both shows’ season finales featured the motif of waking up from dreams/sleep.

( Oh yeah, spoilers gallore for Veronica Mars ‘Not Pictured’ 2:22 )
