+ Does anyone have an ipod touch? Love it? Hate it? I want one, and am feeling very tempted. (I'm also feeling old and out of touch, trying to sort out what has what features and what the hell they do - the days of vinyl were so much simpler!)
+
artword's latest challenge is
Illustrative Typography. I seem to have signed up for it, somehow. Not sure how that happened... These little links you click and empty boxes come up, and you can't leave an empty box empty, and yeah, that's how it happened. Anyway, SGA peeps, you can still sign up - it's a really cool challenge.
+ I'll be posting
spnroundtable's Book Club later in the week - in the meantime,
here's the introductory post for this month's fic (Under A Haystack by
janissa11)
+ My
recs page hit 1,000 recs last week! Lots of brilliant stuff. In 116 fandoms (plus original work), which is a little bit scary - I didn't think I knew that many fandoms. As always, new recs are on
oxoniensis_recs.
+ And finally, it's actually worth me doing a fic roundup again! Haven't done one in months. And yet this is still all I have. C-, needs to try harder.

Tangerine [Dean, Sam, fluff, PG, 1,112 words]
Sam's a distrusting bastard who always squints his eyes and stares into Dean's whenever Dean tries to sound innocent. He's a pain in the ass with his bullshit meter that's way too accurate for Dean's liking.
three o'clock dandelion time [Supernatural, Sam/OFC, adult, 1,634 words, pre-series.]
There are eels in the river. The color of mud, and they whip between the weeds so fast it's hard to keep track of them.
Richard Gilmore and the Homemade Broomstick [Gilmore Girls, Richard, Dean/Rory, Gypsy, Lorelai, AU, G, 1,119 words.]
