Two fic recs for nuit_belle. First, aeshna_uk's Terms of Employment: Harriet Jones and Jack, post-TCI and pre-Torchwood. Wonderful characterization and attention to detail, and it just makes sense.

Passion's Promise by purplerhino is a wonderful bit of anti-pr0n. Rated R for adult ideas, but hilariously executed. Take that, Cassie Edwards. :-P

Oh wow, I got nominated for an award! I'm up against some pretty impressive people, so I really don't expect to win my category (gen angst/dark), but I am still quite pleased. Thank you, thank you to whoever nominated me!

All right, people, you've done it now. I have been tempted and tormented and have finally given in to the impulse to write Holmes/Russell fic. As this came from a 50lyricsfanfic prompt, I may end up requesting this pairing for that comm, despite my further protestations that I must do no such thing. Tell me what you think of it, unless you have not yet read The ( Read more... )

Finally got my W2 form today. The crappy part is, the government took about $1300 from me last year. The good news is, what with my being all poverty-ridden and paying student loans and even doing a bit of school, I'll probably get a good deal of that back. And then I'll send the money right back to a different government department. That's some ( Read more... )

Much tiredness as the extra time at work continues. For the number of people that have asked about openings, I don't know why they haven't managed to hire more newbies. Oh well, I'm getting paid, which is very good because I need to rebuild the Move Firiel to Her New Job fund, which was cleared out by one giant loan payment before they started with ( Read more... )

Yes, I have gone mad. I actually joined 50lyricsfanfic. Blame miladygrey. Updates will all link from this post assuming I don't mess up the HTML too bad.

You really, really, must go read prof_pangaea's Sub Rosa right now! As it is entirely in telegram format and the images have to load, it may take a while for those who are in dialup purgatory with me. But please believe me when I say it is worth every second of the wait. Then scroll down and check out everyone's cool Holmes icons (and a few good Mary Russell ( Read more... )

Okay, so I lied. Saturday was not uninterrupted slacking. I did take the time to write some. Both longer stories have the miladygrey beta seal of approval. Any remaining mistakes can only be blamed on my willfulness.

Perhaps it does not set a good precedent for my first fic in a new fandom to be an improbable revenge fic, with my best friend MarySued in for good measure (not to mention for her own gratification). However, the idea presented itself so easily--and miladygrey deserved some fun after the day she'd had--that I couldn't resist. So here is my meager offering to ( Read more... )

In response to my fannish whining, miladygrey has provided fic recs that fit my current (read: very narrow) spoiler specifications. As always, she is completely right. Things you should read right away include:

18 Seconds--a great explanation of why the Doctor came back for her in "Rose". Ending will make you grin.

Ivory and Horn is longer, takes several ( Read more... )
