Moving to Dreamwidth
Just stopping in to say that I have created an account on Dreamwidth (same user name) and will be migrating over there! -
A visit from me!
It has been two years, so I guess it's time for another post :) This month's fandom reading seems to be Captain America stories, along with random selections from my Delicious bookmarks (recently, Due South, Rosemary Sutcliff, Professionals...). Amused to discover that over the years I have accumulated about 3600 bookmarks! But, I love to re- ( Read more... ) -
Still here
Having two rare quiet days. Re-watched Hot Fuzz again last night -- still fabulous even though it's not at all "my sort of movie". Wandered into fanfic for the BBC Sherlock series and am becoming very intrigued! -
Bracy and Gedge in a Harlequin novel!

Knitting and watching Due South
Finally watching more of season 3 for the first time (Strange Bedfellows and I Coulda Been a Defendant), and I just have to say:

(The fact that I ( Read more... ) -
Wanderings in Fandom, or, Confessions of a Fanfiction Reader
(Hope I'm not falling into the habit of only posting near major holidays...)
We recently finished watching series one of Torchwood on DVD, which we really enjoyed, for the most part (we really did not take to "Random Shoes"!). The "Captain Jack Harkness" episode in particular was all of my historical fiction dreams come true :)
Somehow, contrary to ( Read more... ) -
Reading fanfiction on Boxing Day
Apparently, my real reason for making sure I had today off work was to bake slow-rising loaves of bread and swim around in the Yuletide story archive. I'm having fun with this new randomized fandom browsing page, and have created rather a long list of fandoms to read!
Some stories that have caught my eye (all mild ratings, fear not):

Online music recommendations
Two "online radio" websites I've been enjoying lately:
Radio Britfolk
"Traditional and contemporary folk music of Wales, Ireland, Scotland and England." Includes lots of great artists who are relatively unknown in the US. My favorite part is the The Britfolk Billboard, which is a 3 hour block of music. The order of the tracks changes every ( Read more... )
