Haven't been a happy fandom posting bunny lately, but only because almost everything I want to say is full of self-loathing or self-hate & I don't think it's appropriate to inflict any of that textual boredom on my flist.
So, here's a few happier things for me & you, mostly fandom-related & a meme I took from
asyouleft because I could really use a few nice words right about now.
Fishing for compliments:
One little compliment can make you feel amazing. So give me a compliment, anything in the entire world, even that my shoelaces are pretty. Put this in your journal. And once you get some comments, put that entry in a memory or tag and when you are feeling down, just go to that entry and this will remind how great you are.
Am screening the comments, so take that as your cue to say whatever you like for this meme.
& a couple of recs that I'm utterly in love with!
It Takes a Week to Form an Ulcer by
paw_tracks, NC-17, John/Rodney with a side of Rodney/Katie, AU - OMG, SO CUTE. Summary as provided by the awesome writer: Rodney McKay has never been good with relationships, so when his current 'significant other' Katie Brown forces him into Couples Therapy he thinks things can't get much worse--until he meets his therapist: Dr. John Sheppard. It's the cutest!
Open Your Eyes by
thedeadparrot - R, John/Rodney, AU. Okay, I just have one thing to say about this: FOOTBALL AU HEAVILY INSPIRED BY FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. & it is SO good. It combines two great fandoms in one big recipe & it is a GREAT read. For the Friday Night Lights & SGA fans on my list, you are REALLY going to want to take a look at it. You'll like it, I promise.
LantisJournal by
ana_grrl &
mklutz - crack!fic with multiple pairings. Hmm, how do I put this . . . I love this? Fabulous, fabulous crack inspired by LJ downtime with visual aids to make your reading experience even more fun! It's the sort of fic that actually perked me up a little this week.
& lastly, two things.
♥ I can't believe I'm reading so much Rodney het lately! WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY SLASHER SENSIBILITIES.
::laughs:: I'm just teasing about that last bit. I'm just reading a fair bit of Rodney/Laura & Rodney/Katie as of late & who knew that Rodney with girls those two pairings could be so cute? Seriously, they are! (but I still think the world needs more Laura/Katie!)
♥ ♥ I think I'm developing a medium-sized crush on Major Lorne. I take back all the eye-rolling & desires to throw something at him now, I do! ::hides face in hands::
