These nine recs include stories in both the main collection and Madness.

You don't need to know canon for most of these, though having some sense of the canon through osmosis is probably essential for all. Many of these are poetry or involve poetry.

Femslashex authors have been revealed, so I can point to the two stories I wrote!

First, I wrote a f!Hawke/Isabela/Merrill (Dragon Age II) fic for

On Wednesday afternoon B and I flew to Tucson, to the extremely fancy Ventana Canyon Resort, where he has been spending the past two days in work meetings and I had been planning to do a combination of remote working, relaxing by the pool, and running in the the warm January sunshine. Best laid plans and all that: I've actually been doing a ( Read more... )

The last set of post-reveal recs, largely but not entirely Madness. None of these came from others' recs (though a few came from a list of untagged poetry fic) so I'm amused to have seen a few of them popping up on others' recs this morning - I guess it confirms my taste is either good or lowest-common-denominator, depending on if you like these ( Read more... )

I have tried something different this year and started using the bookmark function of AO3 to rec to the Yuletide Recs collection. I'm not sure how useful it is, but I know the rss goes out to Tumblr, at least, and it has made for a convenient way to mark recs for posting later ( Read more... )

The city arborist contractors are giving the trees out front a rather severe haircut, so it's quite loud in here. Too bad they didn't do it before one of them squished my pickup truck.

Anyway! The internet is full of lovely things that are not falling tree limbs!

The Small Fandom Haiku-a-thon is in full swing at chez trascendenza. Pick a prompt (or don't ( Read more... )

For those of you who, like me, are NaNoNoWay, here's an alternative: wrisomifu. I have not yet written anything today on the genderfuck bodyswap (and I first typed genderswap bodyfuck which, yeah, that too), but I did spend far too long writing a limerick, which I am going to share with you whether you like it or not ( Read more... )

Last night I dreamed about underwater poetry. I suspect this was influenced by makesmewannadie 's post musing about a fanpoetry challenge. But this morning I am seriously considering running ( some sort of poetry challenge. )
