Your description of your nattybummy just kills me. Oh, and it takes me back... (I am in a totally different place right now with t'children but not sure I could write about it with such pizzazz and joy.)
I like a lot that Sugar link, and I like the way she calls the woman who wrote in 'sweet pea'.
If anyone can write a story about someone falling in love with their rapist and convince me of it, then that is you. Ah, despite the cracking dialogue and the fun there is in much of your fic, there is always that dark, dark undertone.... *weeps for broken Draco with Ron and broken Draco with Neville but also remembers jolly NSYNC* *oh, and how could I forget tormented!sub!Sheppard*
Dear Sugar is--I just discovered it recently and the way she writes to people just blows me away and makes me want to be a kinder person and a better writer.
VIKINGS: I don't even know, but I'm doing it, just because I want to see if I can. (Sort of the theme of all my stories, lately.)
I need a Leslie/Ben PLOT. Plus I'm really struggling with incredibly pornographic thoughts with them, so it would just be, like, 2500 words where Ben pushes Leslie down on Chris' desk (because his office has a door that closes) and she's crumpling his tan sportcoat in her fingers and he's untying the bow on her power blouse and she's squirming around against his thigh and has a stapler under her shoulder and doesn't care and also I think Ben pulls her hair.
Yay, I'm so, so glad that you've decided to actually write the Viking AU :DD Is it okay to friend you so that I don't have to lurk at your journal, obsessively f5-ing?
Meanwhile have some more historically accurate bribes. I don't know who this Sarah Hill is but man, does she write a lot of viking romance novels with hilarious and strangely suitable titles.
oh, who am i kidding. i'm going to read this and i'm going to LOVE it. (who has two thumbs and read every johanna lindsey romance published from 1984-1989, coincidentally the very years i was in high school? THIS GUY.)
I don't even know which delights me more, this insane fictional sally, all the cleverness in the conversation surrounding it, or the update on NB. I am equally delighted on all points.
I know! I have realized based on a few e-mails and comments that some people have grown a little worried about NB and were too nervous to ask in case it was TERRIBLE NEWS, but the real thing was I got shy about writing about him and also didn't want to JINX certain things, so. But I am planning a little mini-update for his second birthday. Which I will probably bag so I can write more about VIKINGS and Eames explaining to Arthur that monks don't jerk off because it's wrong. Arthur wants to know who says. IT'S GOD. GOD SAYS.
Luckily, Eames is pretty mad at god, due to the whole Viking Rape + repressive monastery beatings for his drawing hot pictures of David + tragic orphan life thing, so. you know.

2) Natty Bumppo is a delight.
3) LESLIE KNOPE. I still desperately want you to write Leslie/Ben, I'm not going to front.

So here's Arthur, the virile viking:

I feel like my heart is full of rainbows and about to burst out of my chest.
I'm serious: I think the chain of events that led to my playing a small role in the creation of these might be the pinnacle of my fandom achievement.
ARTHUR LOOKS SO SAD AND SOULFUL! EAMES LOOKS....A LITTLE CONFUSED. PROBABLY BECAUSE THOSE MANACLES LOOK LIKE THEY CAME IN A BARBIE PLAYSET.
YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION.
