I have, reluctantly, gotten a Tumblr. Hannibal is entirely to blame for this; it's the first fandom I've ever been in that seems to happen mostly on Tumblr, and that quickly wore down my resistance. I'm gavestonsfrolic over there; I don't know how much I'll post because DW/LJ is still very much my preferred format. Tumblr does not make intuitive ( Read more... )

We're at the start of a nasty winter storm here. It's snowing more or less horizontally due to the wind, which is also howling around corners and occasionally rattling the windowframes. I have actually turned the heat on, which I try to avoid because it's not cheap, and I'm currently wearing five layers and am still rather cold. It's supposed to ( Read more... )

A few more recs from my not-very-comprehensive reading of Yuletide.

( King Rat, Lynes & Mathey, Peter Pan, Pride, Rivers of London )

Last year I said that every year it seems I know fewer Yuletide fandoms, and this year it was more of the same. Here are a few things I've really liked from the end of the alphabet (and there are a couple of longer fics that I haven't read yet because I prefer to read long fics on my ebook reader).

( 4 recs: Raffles, Rivers of London, Talented Mr. Ripley )

I got three, THREE fics for Yuletide this year, yay!! And they're all wonderful, yay!!!!

Help me, internets, you're my only hope! I have a cold and all I want to do is lie in bed reading good fanfic, or at least something id-y, with queer men who love each other and also save the world, or take over the world, or fight crime, or something. Even male/male subtext would be okay! I'll take subtext if it's a non-fanfic story and it's not ( Read more... )

As usual, I haven't gotten all the way through the fandoms I wanted to read before the reveal. And I'm too tired and irritable to read any more fics tonight. But here are two last recs.

I haven't had problems with insomnia in quite a while, but tonight, after going to bed earlyish because I have to be at work at 6 am, I woke up at a little before midnight and could not get back to sleep. I could quite happily sleep now, at 3:30 in the morning, but there's the whole work at 6 thing. Not good ( Read more... )
