Apologies for forgetting last week. I've been busy-busy, though not sure at what. I'm able to visit Cindy most afternoons for Lucifer fanfic-reading and episode-watching, which shortens the amount of time in the day I have to 'accomplish something'. (Not that I often actually accomplish more than the basic necessities of food, bathing, sleep ( Read more... )

I’ve been discussing AU’s with a friend from the Sentinel fandom -- specifically, stories in The Old Guard fandom where the characters are ordinary mortals. I thoroughly enjoy them; she’s wary of them in general, though she’s enjoyed a few I rec’d to her. She feels like The Sentinel would lack something important if Jim didn’t have his enhanced ( Read more... )

Hi, folks. Sorry I forgot about last weekend. I've been absolutely riveted by a 300+ page Old Guard story. But I can't just read it, oh no!

Well, just under the wire again. I've been planning it all day... but I got sucked into a new story and kept reading "just a little longer." I could get a lot more done in a day if I didn't like to read so much.

Out of 4 recs this week, 3 are AU’s. I might not have realized... except that I was emailing an old friend from The Sentinel fandom (who now also enjoys The Old Guard), and I included 2 TOG recs in my mail, both of which happened to be “non-immortal” AU’s. She wrote back and said,
