News of the Morning: A Nom for Me and a Rec for You
Now that I've slept (fourteen hour workdays are good for no one and it's a good thing my boss is in another part of the state today because otherwise homicide was a very strong possibility for the morning), I have a couple of fun things to post.
First, booster17 and I have been nominated over at the wicked_awards for the latest part of our crossover cliffhanger saga, Old Friends, New Adventures (he's got additional awesome and was also nominated for one of his gen stories). If you're not familiar with our A Girl and Her Time Lord series, it features Dawn, the Tenth Doctor, a seven-foot tall lisping lizard, a vole, as well as many others, and it gets wonderful comments that repeatedly question our sanity. Possibly because it's co-authored, it's one of very few stories of mine that I'll reread simply to cheer myself up. The first part is Things to Do When the Universe Ends.
Second, a fic rec! If you like Supernatural gen-fic at all, I strongly suggest you give Denyce's The Fate and Damnation of One Man's Legacy a shot. denyce does an exceptional job of using John's POV in the days following the 1983 fire to rehabilitate the character after all of the bashing he's received in canon for the last couple seasons, as well as really bringing John and Mary's marriage to life while making John's grief following her death palpable and believable. It was a beautiful story before I started beta-ing it and she took my notes and made it even better. It's heartbreaking but with funny bits, which is one of my more favorite kind of stories.
