I can't recall which one of you recced this, but I'm on chapter four (of 12), and it's scary-good. As in, legitimately scary and I'm going to stop reading for tonight because I don't want nightmares.

Finished fic! (Not by me.) It's more than a novel! It's basically the equivalent of an action- and romance-centered second and third movie for The Man from U.N.C.L.E., with Gaby and Illya (and a baby--not theirs) getting the main focus.

So let's talk about things that are NOT Game of Thrones or The Avengers.

I was already planning to make a post recommending (yet again) the Rivers of London book series by Ben Aaronovitch, but it's particularly good timing because THERE'S NEWS! The first book is being adapted into a show! Eight to ten episodes, and the team doing the adaptation is ( Read more... )

So my recipient for the Man from U.N.C.L.E. fanfic exchange liked her gift, which pleases me. It's fun, writing fanfic again and doing exchanges and so forth.

I've done a quick check of the Yuletide exchange this year; here are a few recs.

Fan-related presents: I received a lovely Christmas card from one of you lovely people--you know who you are, and thank you!

I also received a sweet little story in Yuletide Madness: Time Enough, a post-finale Sarah Connor/James Ellison fic. About 500 words, rated PG.

What else? I've been reading some. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini was ( Read more... )

More Yuletide recs coming up, but first a quick show rec. The Bletchley Circle is a three-episode show by ITV1 (British, but not BBC). Its heart is four women who worked at Bletchley Park during World War II. Nine years after the war, they end up working together to solve a series of murders. It's good--not great, but compelling. I enjoyed it ( Read more... )

Hello! Happy late Christmas! I hope it was a lovely day for everyone.

A short post before bedtime, with some Yuletide fanfic recs. (I didn't participate this year, but I've read several stories already.) Person of Interest first:

• with coffee spoons, Carter and Fusco working together and gradually forming a stronger friendship
• on admin error { ( Read more... )

At some point one of you linked to the Lizzie Bennet diaries, and suddenly I've watched thirty-five episodes?! *shakes fist* Okay, granted, one episode is between two to four minutes in length, but still. (Short explanation: modern adaptation of Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice, featuring a video blogger by the name of... well, you can ( Read more... )

I've been swamped with work and other real-life endeavors as well as trying to finish popcorn fic before season two of Person of Interest starts. It's going to be close. At any rate, here's chapter four or you can start at the beginning.

I'm working on updating my online Person of Interest fic recs as well. (I had to modify the tag slightly, ( Read more... )

Almost up to 19,000 words on popcorn fic. This means I've almost doubled the wordcount of my previous longest story. Just finished chapter four. (Originally I had planned seven, but that may go up to eight.)

Relatedly, there were a couple of excellent Person of Interest fics posted at the main lj comm today (gift exchange, apparently? *shrugs ( Read more... )
