Go read today's 14valentines essay on politics. Paris Geller wants you to.

( Oi with the poodles already! )

So I was realizing the other day that it's been nearly two years since I did a new installment of my comfort fic recs series and since today is pretty much FIRED, I'm going to take the time to do another set. Y'all are OK with that, right?

( Because I can't actually give all the internet hugs, I'm giving you the equivalent in fic recs )

So the thing is that I reread fic a LOT. I reread things because they are hot, I reread them because they are funny, I reread because they have touched my heart in some way. And because of that rereading, there are certain moments in some of my favorite fics that have become emblazoned on my memory forever and always. The 10 moments I'm sharing ( Read more... )

And somewhere along the line, it crept into my heart and is now probably my favorite small fandom I am ( Read more... )

So I was going through my bookmarks, and I realized that I had a TON of awesome stories about women who were confident and take charge with their sexuality. Unfortunately, there were not enough to do a single rec set for any one woman who I didn't already have a rec set planned for, so you guys are getting a very grab-bag RPF porn assortment today ( Read more... )

Today y'all are getting a celebration of motherhood in its various guises. Mostly because I have a pretty kick ass Mom and I realized when trying to figure out what to rec for today that I don't spend nearly enough time celebrating that fact. If you would like, you can consider it a continuation of this set of recs. Or just an early Happy Mother's ( Read more... )

For all the mothers and mothers-to-be on my flist, today is Mother's Day! (I think this isn't just a US holiday? Well, even if it is, the moms in the rest of the world are getting good wishes from me today too. *g*) Today y'all are getting a few fic recs that celebrate motherhood and mothers in all of its/their various shapes and sizes. So Happy ( Read more... )

Re: the LJ boycott tomorrow? I wish you all the best of luck, but I think that Isis pretty nicely sums up my thoughts. I probably won't be posting tomorrow either, but seriously - when do I ever post two days in a row? *shrugs* If/when there is a better alternative to LJ that fandom at large is using, I'll move, but in the meantime I just don't see ( Read more... )
