As I just mentioned, it's More Joy Day! And you know what that means! Joyfulness! And posting a tiny snippet story doesn't seem sufficient. So, I thought I'd take a crack at listing some of my favorite moments from fanfic.

But I didn't come up with this idea. Waaaay back in 2005, octette made a list of her favourite moments in various dS stories. "Not my ( Read more... )

I had a wonderful afternoon in Toronto on Sunday. rosemary_green, a dS reader/lurker, contacted me last week and mentioned that she and her partner were in Toronto. She asked if I wanted to meet for coffee, and because I am a) always looking for an excuse to go to Toronto, for I love it so and b) have never, ever disappointed by real-life fangirl meetups ( ( Read more... )

Hey guys, guess what? In a little over twelve hours I'll be boarding a bus bound for Victoria, BC, where I will meet zabira and we will spend three fun-filled days sightseeing, gossipping, reading the dSSS stories and watching 6degrees stuff. It's going to be a very fun fangirl weekend, and I plan to pretend that I've done all my prep stuff for the new ( Read more... )

I've got a dSSS fic to finish and a couple of betas to do, but I'm firmly in the midst of my work-avoidance cycle. Which means I'm hunting around for new stories and going, "Oooh, look at the pretties!" Hence, a recs post. ( Three new dS recs under the cut )

You can go here to sign up - drivers are needed starting in March, and it ( Read more... )

In defiance of the shit-tastic new LJ flagging system (I hate hate haaaaaate it) I'm going to make this post all about sex.

I think most of you checked out ignazwisdom's post about vibrators (f-locked to Iggy's journal) and people were making suggestions about different vibes. I mentioned that I own only one, a really, really tiny, really cheap, really loud ( Read more... )

I was a machine today. I went for an hour-long jog along the harbourfront this morning, because after reading jamethiel_bane's very brave and honest and insightful post about dealing with depression I thought, y'know what? Time to take action. So...jogging. And hopefully swimming on Friday mornings at the rec centre before my shift, and yoga in the evenings, and ( Read more... )
