For the rare jems in those fandoms I can't quite delve into, favorite works on sites off of LJ, and my favorite original fiction on LJ.

To preface: SPOILERS AHOY!  Do not read if you've not watched the end of Fringe ( Read more... )

Since my posts these days seem to be mostly in the style of New Fandom Alerts™...

I started watching Teen Wolf while abroad, since a flister posted about it.  The characters aren't as deep as she said, but I love it nonetheless.  It's a bit like Supernatural or Doctor Who in the way it has completely campy and tropey "monster" elements.  They make ( Read more... )

Back, after a long RL-related absence, due in part to being abroad and also in part to feeling inexplicably tired.  Hopefully that will work out on its own.

I've watched too many movies the past week (Skittles and buttery popcorn are burning a hole through my stomach) and I saw Inception twice because of its mind-twisty factor.  I'm not going to sit ( Read more... )

Bold the ones you've read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish. Add (*) beside the ones you liked and would (or did) read again or recommend. Even if you read them for school in the first ( Read more... )
