I have a lot of Yuletide fics open in tabs still to be read. But I've been using the A03's bookmark function, and my list is now up to fourteen, so it's time to stop and make some RECS. All of the fics I've bookmarked are excellent and I thoroughly recommend you go read them - fandoms include Tortall, Shakespeare, Anthropomorphic Web 2.0 (actually ( Read more... )

Had tahira_saki over for dinner, and... eight hours later, I have a functional Guinevere character and an entire Arthurian epic plotted out - with subplots for Gawain, Yvain, Galahad and a tinsy bit of Mordred (who looks like being largely borrowed from Ashie, with some variations: saves me making up a Mordred from scratch ( Read more... )

I am *such* a nerd.

After the encounter between the Academic Shit and the Administrivia Fan, kayloulee  and I went on a long-delayed bookshopping trip. Yay, books. We exchanged birthday presents: The Graveyard Book for her, and the first Diane Duane book, So You Want To Be A Wizard, for me.
