I think I was slightly inebriated with lack-of-sleep when I posted at like, 1 this morning. So apologies for the below.
Thenagain, I'm not doing much better this morning - I just went through my season one Buffy DVDs to watch all the B/A scenes again and being the rather obsessed, slightly pathetic sight I am, I became fully immersed with Joss Whedon's commentary while walking on the treadmill. I excuse my Buffy marathons by saying I'm getting all the healthier for it.
So I realize right now that I'm basically talking to myself, but that's okay. I think I like this because I don't need to worry about whether or not I say something offensive to someone I know in real life because, duh, they're not going to find this anytime soon. I hope.
Anyway - I've been LJ hopping recently because of my newfound interest in the community and I've come across some nifty journals in my day. Let me start with
gia6seconds because I've become rather addicted to her series "A Convenient Marriage" which is exactly the type of AU I enjoy reading. My logic is, if it's gonna be AU to begin with - you should REALLY make it AU just to differentiate between the show and your fic. I'm becoming slightly incoherant now, aren't I?
Before I forget - I don't know if she'll ever see this - but I made this little icon for Gia. :-) Because I saw her Icon Wish List.
Or if anyone else likes - feel free to take.
So I'm a bit of a B/A fic groupie. I don't write fic, myself much, primarily because of lack of time but I've written some pieces in the past which are half-decent. I've never attempted to write BtVS fandom though because I'm just afraid I won't do justice to it. Yet now that I've set this up, I'm mildly interested in getting started once again because I found this awesome
open_on_sunday drabbles community where I'm tempted to write something.
But in terms of awesome fic I've read recently - I love anything that
indiefic writes and the collaborations between her and
tangofic even though they don't know who the hell I am. I'm one of those lurkers :-)
And the the icons. I love looking at pretty icons. It just makes me all warm and glowy inside when I see a pretty transforming/coloured/designed icon which is sitting there and I must confess that my sudden desire to become LJ incorporated is primarily because I just wanted an icon.
Now before I ramble on forever, I think I'm gonna go watch some more Buffy. (Praise to the geniuses who decided to market Season 5 before Christmas)
I am so obsessed. With this and with cashews. Shame on me.
