I'm actually working on my Lewis story for the Summer Challenge, and it's going well (whee!) so I'm sure it will be posted Sunday. In the meantime, I've also been soaking up a few Paper Legends stories, and here are some recs so far. I haven't left feedback for all of these, so this is also a reminder to me to get off my arse and do that!

Have you ever noticed that the longer it's been since you've last posted, the more obligated you feel to make your next post more and more interesting, with lots of exciting or thought-provoking links, or a profound reflection on life as we know it, or a really good recipe for double chocolate brownies, or possibly all three ( Read more... )

If you could do with a break from the news, here are some longer reads to lose yourself in for a while:

Terra Incognita by wendymr (Lewis/Hathaway, Lewis) - Written for smallfandombang, this is a long, satisfying fic that diverges from canon at the end of Series 4. (Note: Please heed the warnings.)

But it's a fun wallow. Just in case someone missed this one (I honestly think I'm the only one, but you never know), run now and check out Fundamental Imperfection by

No, I didn't watch any of the Oscars last night. Between the various kinds of fail we see every year, plus Django Unchained and Argo (Why do I not like Argo? President Carter explains for those of you who weren't around at the time or need a refresher), I definitely wasn't in the mood. Instead, I watched old movies on my new LED TV (which I have ( Read more... )

It occurs to me that I haven't been posting as much as I usually do - Twitter's now getting my random thoughts, and RL has been busy and/or stressful on all fronts, so my writing has been slow so far in 2013. I'm hoping we're out of the woods for now, though, so I thought I'd catch up a bit on the various things I've been watching/following. I'm ( Read more... )

So I was planning to read a pile of Yuletide stories yesterday, but RL, exhaustion and MERLIN FEELINGS got in the way. In the meantime, have some other recs ( Read more... )

Ugh, you guys, if you haven't read corilannam's Merlin BB story yet, you really need to remedy that ASAP. It's yet another modern-day Arthur as Prince of Wales story, but with lots of interesting new twists and a romance that had me devouring it like chocolate today. I loved the clever way she worked in Merlin's role as advisor to Arthur, and her Arthur - ( Read more... )

So I'll throw a Merlin rec in here too to make the icon make sense: another paperlegends rec, We Are Stardust by fuzzytomato02, with fantastic artwork by amphigoury. There are a few typos and minor proofing that distract occasionally, but the quality and originality of the story is enough to power you through that. It had me on the edge of my seat throughout, and it pays off big ( Read more... )

Actually just a list of everything I've read so far, since I've enjoyed them all. :)

Coming Up - story by xthursdaynextx, art by anoracle - Brilliant high school AU that gives us awesome and recognizable versions of all the featured canon characters, and the added bonus of fumbling teenage first love. Delightful.

Stars Above, Stones Below - story by destina, art by goss - An ( Read more... )
