sail your sea meet your storm

Hi, I am a crazy person. I spent Thursday afternoon sitting by the river, under the bridge where the people take their canoes down, watching the geese and the pleasure craft and the occasional solemn, athletic canoeist. One of the large passenger boats from Iffley had cut power and drifted into the middle of the river in order to turn around; there ( Read more... )

Thank you so much for these recs! I'm really excited about lgbtfest, and it's great to have a place to start reading.

Also, *hugs*

Also, also, your final link is not to the West Wing one but to the Discworld one again.

You're welcome, I hope you like them, and thank you for hugs, too. :)

fixed, thankyou!

Recs! Queer recs! You are lovely. *hugs* I haven't read a lot of fic in a long time, I've realised, and while I don't miss reading it as avidly as I used to - I've exchanged fic for books again, which is nice - it is nice to read the odd good thing. :)

And I'm sorry that you're feeling awful again/still/more. *loves* You are wonderful. Don't forget that.

I hope you like these... they're very good! And I hear you on the fic-or-books thing - I quite often don't read both at the same time, it's odd.

Thanks, honey. It's really appreciated. :)

Oh, I did, I did. (I didn't read the Merlin/West Wing ones, since I'm not in those fandoms at all, of course, and I see people think tWW one was particularly great ... ah well; what I read, I enjoyed.)

The Pattern of Process, by [info]raedbard, The West Wing.
This is about Toby's babies-who-come-with-hats, Huck and Molly, only they're not babies, any more - and more than that I wouldn't want to say, because this story is perfect and complete and self-contained. It's immaculately thought-out and immaculately executed, and at something like 19,000 words, an astonishing achievement for a few months' work.

Um. Thank you for that rec. For a number of reasons, it's not a fic I ever would have clicked on and yet...it just kicked me in the gut multiple times. I can't even...

loneraven April 29 2009, 11:14:33 UTC

Oh, I am so glad you liked that one! It was the reason I made this post to start with, I just... yeah. Was blown away.

Thanks muchly for recs! I too was looking at the LGBT list and thinking OMG so much fic, where to start....

loneraven April 29 2009, 11:14:47 UTC

You're very welcome, my dear!

Thanks for the Discworld rec's, somehow it's never occurred to me to look for fics from that setting. Hope you feel better.

loneraven April 29 2009, 11:15:24 UTC

Thanks. :) And yes, yes, I hope you enjoy them! Discworld only ever seems to be written in the large multifandom-ficathon context, seems to me, and it's a treat to see it done well.

Loved the dwarf story! (Want to come see my savings? heehee). Though the Ptraci story seems to have interpreted the end of Pyramids differently than me -- I thought it was subtly stating that Ptraci and Teppic were an item. Ohwell, makes for reasonable fanon, and well written.
