I'm currently on on a let's-lose-weight vacation with my mother (said activity takes place within Franconia, but not in my hometown), and in between dieting and doing more sports than I did for eons, I can't get online that often. Also the internet connection is shaky, so apologies in advance for any late replies.
Hastily browsing the net this evening, I noticed someone did a pod fic version of
Smoking on the bus, which aside from being a great X-Men story from back in the day (i.e. it's partially AUd now, but still very much worth reading/listening too, taking place post X2 on the one hand (mainly Xavier and Rogue interaction) and in flashbacks during early days for Charles and Erik on the other) is also a great case of nostalgia for me, since I remember writing feedback for this story and thus "encountering"
artaxastra for the first time. As it turns out, we shared several fandoms and a passion for history. (Still do.) Also, she's one of the kindest person on the net and without fanfiction, we'd have never known each other, so there you are.
Also noted in haste:
there is a Tumblr devoted to Martha the sheepdog now, which in addition to posting photos also has some great art, like
this one, and
and this priceless bit, but my absolute favourite is one linked from another blog, to wit,
this drawing (since I always knew Martha was a secret superhero and John's expression cracks me up).
