Time for some links I collected over the week. I keep meaning to do this more often.

Immortality improves cell reprogramming. Scientists have found that blocking an anti-tumor pathway in adult cells allows the creation of stem-like cells...which isn't surprising, since that's pretty close to what cancer cells are and cells can become

You know, I don't usually read fanfic for live action shows (mostly I just read it for anime) but I decided to try the first Psych fanfic you mentioned because I'd just watched an episode and I was curious. And it was really good. (I'm not a Shawn/Lassiter fan but it was slight enough until the ending that it wasn't a problem.) So, thanks for recommending it! I'll have to check out more Psych fanfic, at least by that author.

That author has some gen stuff which is pretty decent, too. I usually avoid Shawn/Lassiter because that is the one pairing I just really don't see at all (and I'm mostly all about the gen for that fandom anyway), but I was so glad to find something that seemed pretty in-character.

I can see Shawn/Lassiter easier then Shawn/Gus, but other then that, I've never thought about it. I think it's harder to see Shawn in a relationship at all. The show has a lot of good gen potential. This may have sparked a Psych fan fiction search for me. (c:

I love BSG, but I loathe the idea of Stargate trying to be BSG. :(

BSG was a little too dark for my tastes (I love dark in books but I watch TV for the crack), and it'll make me sad if Stargate goes in that direction.
