You guys! The popoffacork new year's swap stories are live, and the one written for meeee is totally fabulous! It's Travis/William, encountering each other again after some time of distance, and it sets up both the past and the future of their relationship with a light but also sure and steady hand. And it totally indulges my irrational fondness for all the ( Read more... )

When I'm behind on LJ, as I have been for a couple of months now, I always worry about how to start trying to catch up. If I read forward from where I left off, I keep thinking maybe there's something that just happened that changes how I should be responding, like maybe someone died and I'm still back here burbling about how hot Mikey is in some ( Read more... )

a) Happiest of birthdays to shutyourface! Happiest of birthdays to lovelypoet! Happiest of birthdays to pandap!

b) I should have done this a long time ago, but I didn't, so I'm doing it now. I had the very great pleasure of betaing afterthefair's Bandom Big Bang story, Miss Too Much if You Stop to Think, which is funny and insightful and heartbreaking and heart-healing all at once. Also ( Read more... )

So the popoffacork reveal has taken place, and I now know that I have imogenics to thank for the amazingly awesome Radiant. If you haven't yet, I encourage you all to head on over there and read it, because it'll make your heart flush and your spine shiver.

You guys, I am so far behind and I can't catch up right now, but I just turned on the TV and there was Bobbie Thomas on the Today Show telling me how to be skinny and pretty and sending me to her column The Buzz to read more. And she looked fucking gorgeous. You know what's still one of my favorite RPF stories of all time and space? Starfucker, ( Read more... )

Happy new year, y'all! The popoffacork stories are live now and I absolutely love the one written for me. It's Maja/Greta and Gabe/William, two pairings I love, plus really great Pete-Patrick friendship, but all of that pales next to what else is going on, the most gorgeously subtle horror story infiltrating the everyday life of touring. I suggest reading ( Read more... )

Hii. So I'm here, in the sense that I have a new laptop that, like, connects to the internets, and I'm typing on it. And that's exciting! But I'm also not really here, in the sense that I didn't even finish my first round of trying to catch up before falling into another swamp of a lapse, and I'm about to go stay with my parents to help them out ( Read more... )

One of the most awesome things about the Awesome April challenge was that I got to share a posting day with withdiamonds. And not only that, but I had the privilege of betaing her story and getting the sneak peek at its vivid and ultimately chilling look at Justin and the immense power held in his relationship to the fans, in both directions. If you're into ( Read more... )

If you like tiny cartwheeling hippies and their friends, check out afterthefair's latest, Kick It Back, in which Spencer and Jon are forced out of a closet Spencer doesn't really believe he belonged in. I had the great pleasure of betaing this story, and I absolutely love all the range it shows across the spectrum of orientation and identity, and the nuances ( Read more... )

Today on my lunch break I walked into a store and bought a copy of Perfect You and a copy of Pretty. Odd., and I held them in my hands and was happy.
