Finished: The Hero of Ages (Mistborn 3) by Brandon Sanderson. The first two-thirds continue to suffer from being the middle part of a trilogy.

I am in my final 2 weeks of school during which I must write two papers and take two exams. I have written one paper and have spent ~4 hours today on an Accounting exam. I am stuck on one question that I have no idea had to solve. If it doesn't come to me by 4:30 pm Thursday, I shall guess. (Wanna help? See the end of this post for the queston ( Read more... )

I have discovered the Alternate Universe - Apocalypse tag over on AO3 and have thus far delighted in fic in Sherlock, Live Free or Die Hard, and The Losers fandoms. All stories are long, quite post-apocalyptic, and slash.

There also seems to be quite a bit of The Big Bang Theory fic with this tag, but I haven't tried any because, well, I find I ( Read more... )
