Will the Real Mr. Collins Please Stand Up?
The other day I was reading, for reasons which need not detain us here, Wordsworth's famous "Preface to *Lyrical Ballads*", in which he lays out his theory of poetry. This Preface was added to the book (of poems by him and Coleridge) in the second edition, published in 1801 ( Read more... ) -
Medical Update
Oh sharper than the tooth-sting of an adder
Is the quirkt misbehavior of a bladder;
No sooner do I lie down on my bed
Than twinges drive me up its rain to shed.
Most often half is dropt upon the carpet
And I can't walk enough, or bend, to mop it.
Would that my kidneys that continual weep
Would cut it out, and let me get some sleep. -
Happy Birthday Te!
Te, happy birthday, and many happy returns. I hope you get many things you wanted, and that many things smooth out for you! You wondrous woman you. -
Snapefic!
Okay, I can't believe I'm doing this again but: I'm not in HP fandom but this story you gotta read! It's the inimitable Miriam Heddy, her one and only Harry Potter fic; wherein Harry comes back to teach at Hogwarts and resumes hostilities with his old foe Snape in those hallowed halls. Honestly, this is priceless. It's called "What Dire Offence ( Read more... ) -

Daddy Issues Hotch slash!
Reccing this great story by amara_m, though it's on her fic site which is phantisma. I almost didn't read it because it was Hotch and Morgan (I know, I know, rarefic!), but oh my, am I glad I did.
You know how Hotch grew up being abused by his father...

"Revelations" revelation -- CM meta
Ooo. Was watching my taped Criminal Minds ep "Revelations" again last night, and slo-mo'ed through the end of the bastinado scene enough to catch a couple words of the title of the book in which Prentiss (I think it was) finds Tobias's list of Narcotics Anonymous meetings. It's Flannery O'Connor's "The Violent Bear It Away"! Here's the start of ( Read more... ) -

If you haven't read it yet, you might be interested in Paul di Filippo's snark in F&SF about -- well, a form of "responsible writing".
Plumage from Pegasus
You only really need to read a few lines to get the idea. :-) -
You have to read this fic!
Just a note to recommend a wonderful Criminal Minds fic by Miriam Heddy, "Misdirection". I really really urge you to go read this story, even if CM isn't one of your fandoms. It's that good. And fun. The characterizations are delicious. Notice I'm reccing this even though it isn't my pairing -- it's Gideon/Reid, and I'm a Hotch/Reid gal, but ( Read more... )
