There are stories I really madly enjoy but don't rec because there's one tiny little throwaway line with something not exactly right in it about, say, statistics or funky saints or Renaissance art or Jane Austen or knitting, and that one thing just niggles at me and won't let go. The more I like something, the pickier I get. ETA that I mean both ( Read more... )

I've updated my rec page, and the sense of accomplishment I feel is not even remotely proportional to the amount of work involved. I'm such a sad little person.

Still much with the fannish love for the things I can't talk about. :)

I'm trying to cure my cold through liberal applications of garlic and Due South episodes. If I'm still sneezing at the end of CotW I guess I'll try Once a Thief or something. (I also feel an intense need to correct CKR's posture. My back hurts just looking at him.) Anyway, I'd really appreciate recs for nice long plotty smutty DS F/K stories not ( Read more... )

laurakaye tells the story of how Klaus and Dorian go to Hogwarts. And they get sorted. And I have massive fannish happiness. Klaus! And Dorian!

I have a headache. Feel very Eleanor Butler about it - I ill of an head ache. (In case anyone feels like playing Ponsonby, I'm taking applications ( Read more... )

northernveil came over to pick up her JC CD, and we blinked sleepily at each other over potato wedges and feta cheese, discussing the best way for me to dispose of her body in case she keeled over and died. Fortunately, she did not, as it all sounded like quite a lot of work.

Listening to Emotional Technology again. I'd love for BT and JC to collaborate more ( Read more... )

I am the luckiest of lucky girls. I asked jae_w for JuC, oh, what can it mean to a daydream believer and a homecoming queen? And now I know what it means, and whee!

Strongly suspect I won't be coherent for a while yet...

How long will it take until persay makes the dictionaries ( Read more... )
