While I tweet myself through my grieving process, here are three (ish) fanfic classics that

a) Prominently feature Ianto being awesome.
b) Prominently feature Ianto and Jack getting a happy (ish) ending.
c) Have multiple parts or are novella-length.
d) Have well-crafted plots on the epic scale.
e) Left a deep impression on me.

1. The Doctor & Mr ( Read more... )

It's pretty darn awesome. In that it is not awesome at all. Unrepentantly so. Brain-breakingly so. It is charming in a bastardy kind of way ( Read more... )

So I've kind of been ignoring the Intranets in favor of being with people in RL. How strange! How new! I've reached this strange plateau where I am consistently about 70 entries behind on my flist.

Well, behind on everything except thremedon and mistful. Speaking of, NEW COVERRRR. Speaking of, LASSST CHAPTTTTEEEEEERRRRRRRS.

My life has been kind of crazy lately. I've been running around doing lots of summer things, such as going out to movies and staying in to movies and going to birthday parties and the like. I've also been working, which is getting shittier and shittier the longer I'm there. Oh well. Such is life ( Read more... )

Sometimes I make this silent promise to myself that I will stop staying up until 6-ish every fucking day of the week, because I know it is bad for my health and my future and social life, but then nights like this happen and I know that while I may eventually cut down, I will never be able to give them up ( Read more... )

I love how life works sometimes.

I just read a lovely little Lily story, Touch The Face of the Stars. Some details seem to flout canon, but it has so much heart that I forgive it ( Read more... )

Finished The Tipping Point yesterday. My God, it was probably the most engrossing read I've had in a while. Seriously, I'm no businesswoman or entrepreneur, but I am a sociology/psychology/history fangirl and this book just took all of those things and wrapped it up in one big ball of AWESOME.

In the meantime, I'd like to bring attention to a ( Read more... )

I really cannot deal with life right now. I haven't got a clue what's wrong with me other than [perhaps] spectacularly severe burnout, but I have been getting progressively more apathetic about everything in the last week or so, and today I am so exhausted that I cannot even keep my eyes open for fanfic. Yes, you read that right. I cannot even be ( Read more... )

As a general rule of thumb, there are only two things that bother me about the Harry Potter fandom. The first thing has deserted me in my BLINDING RAGE over the second. This second thing happens to be that, even though "Warnings" is a commonplace inclusion when beginning a story -- in much the same way that "Rating" and "Disclaimer" are socially ( Read more... )

This week has been plagued by headaches. Hair-induced, teeth-induced, eye-induced, car-induced, stress-induced, you name it and I've had it. It is really starting to get annoying. Right now, I've just got a my-left-frontal-lobe-is-trying-to-forcibly-remove-itself-from-my-skull-type headache and I'm in a right melancholy mood ( Read more... )
