Recs of the day!

[ineptshieldmaid]

Tonight (er, yesterday, now), kayloulee , sjazzmreow , phrasemuffin , and I went out for dinner dressed as pirates and then sat around on S's floor talking about slash for hours. Well, we three girls talked about slash and David listened.

Accordingly, Recs of the Day today are Cool Things I Think S should read:

Epistolatory Romance by missparaphilia . Harry/Draco. Not sure of the official

omgyay! Thankyou! I feel so loved.

I'm actually rather in the mood for some non-HP reading lately, so am very much looking forward to getting stuck in (and duh, GO fic is always welcome). Just so you know though, I will be holding you personally responsible for any trauma or guilt obtained from my reading Narnia fic. Be aware.

In return, have some snitched. The ridiculous Marauder RP that's always good for a laugh and obscene overuse of capslock. And, well, obscenity in general, really.

I wish I could think of something to rec other than HP stuff, but my "other" folder is very (very) random and very (very) badly organised, and I imagine you've read any GO I'd rec already. So HP it is!

With Hindsight by kabeyk, because a) everything by her is astoundingly good (and her boys act like actual boys, realism pleases me :D), b) that fic is possibly my favourite fic ever, and is just so delicately handled, and c) Remus/James needs more love.

And Mirabella's stuff. The Shadow of His Wings is her big, intensly well thought-out, chaptered fic, but her

With Hindsight is weird. Weird, I tell you. Beautifully handled, but screamingly weird. K agrees.

The rest: YAY PROCRASTINATION!

[sjazzmreow]

EXACTLY. Innit nice?
(I should probably say, a lot of her stuff can be a bit weird, but it's generally psychologically valid, even when it's completely mental (which it often is. The women knows comedy). Which is probably why I'm so enamoured with her. Oh, sweet realism.)

OMG and we just read Productive Extortion and it was hilarious.

There were people having a very noisy party next door and we contemplated going out and yelling 'shut up you're interrupting our porn' but we thought it might damage our innocent reputations.

(it's K) Also considering that Tockie has a theory that I'm the Other Woman as opposed to the Wife, she might decide that this stood as, well, practical evidence for my being the Tawdry Other Woman.

OMGIknow,right! And you guys were so right about Epistolatory Romance, btw. And the GO one was so lovely. And hey, I know the artist she wrote that for.

That's funny, there was a party wafting up through the screen door here too. Although what I mostly heard was random bitching ("she's my fucking friend, alright? I mean, she's MY fucking friend!!") and hooting. I LOL at your claim of "innocent reputations", and now have the perverse urge to holler "shuut uuup, you're interupting the po-oorn" into the night".

Also; dammit, K, now I can't stop giggling!

*sends K the link to this comment, as she has now taken off back to her own den of iniquity, and we have resumed reading porn in separate places*

It's saturday. There are always parties.

GAH YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT KABEYK. I am full of GUH right now.

"Shut Up, you're interupting my/our/the PORN" is the BEST shouty line ever. If only i had the courage to shout it...

[sjazzmreow]

Okay so I'm not spending too much time online tonight because of general busy and sleepy (I SLEPT THROUGHT THE FIRST 20 MINUTES OF DR WHO, DAMMIT!), but.

YES WITH THE GUH. I'VE BEEN READING HER FOR AGES AND I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO STOP WITH THE GUH. She makes me want to write essays, which is pretty impressive. I LOVE YOU FOR GETTING THE GUH.

[ineptshieldmaid]

I LOVE YOU TOO. FOR GIVING ME THE GUH. Also because it's really hot. But mostly the GUH.
