Currently reading a piece of fanfiction that is a narration in the second person pairing "you" with Scabior. HereNow, don't get me wrong. I'm enjoying reading this. I really, really am. It's entertaining and I love it. And I say "kudos" to the author, CrystalGuns ( Read more... )

I don't get it when authors of M-rated fanfiction give forewarning of, or apologise for sexytimes and/or cursing in their authors' notes. Why the devil is your fic rated M if there are none of the above? I consider an M rating a promise of sexytimes, quite frankly.

I ordered a WWJokerD t-shirt from TheJokerBlogs' CafePress site. It's supposedly on its way, but the tracking info won't update. I might pout ( Read more... )

Finished Coraline over the weekend; started to read Lovecraft's "The Tomb" yesterday afternoon, finishing it before bed; and then began reading "Beyond the Wall of Sleep" this morning on the train.

* the end of the Bush era (oh, very soon)

Whatever one may say about Obama--and there are varied opinions among my f-list, I am well aware--we're getting rid of the Shrub today, something I'm hoping we can all agree is a very good thing. YAY!
