I loved a lot of her fics. The super-long wedding one . . . guh. And Gus's birthday . . . Justin and his dad . . . loved it all. Though a friend and I were never able to convince her that "kerb" is a variation in spelling, and not jargon.
dood. she's the one who gave brian the college boyfriend who broke his heart, right? and made it so that's why he's reluctant to commit to justin? what are you doing to yourself???
Okay, yay! I would have killed the baby, but I'll put it down for you.
I promise that there are no long descriptions of wedding decorations, and it's as angsty as I ever get.
YAY!1!
I don't mind good wedding descriptions. Besame just wrote a final chapter which describes Daphne's wedding tent, and it read quite beautiful.
Of course, it was like one paragraph. Which goes to show - good writing can do all it needs to in whatever time it needs. Wedding descriptions? One paragraph. A short one.
I'm so glad we'll have PP5 (hee! I said peepee!!!!1!) soon. I was worried about the LIFE BLOOD POURING OUT OF THE PRETTY PRETTY PRINCESS.
Okay, I'm in a silly mood. I think I od'd on QAF wank...
BTW K, have you read "The Line of Beauty"? I got it for Christmas a year ago (2005), and never got around to reading it until recently, and I thought it was brilliant. Beautiful writing.
Was curious if you'd read it and if so what you thought of it. I just ordered the DVD of the BBC mini-series based on the book from netflix. Doubt I'll enjoy it as much since the language of the book is what mostly enchanted me, but the actors look pretty hot, and they have a lot of sex, so I suppose it will be nice eye-candy even if it sucks.
No, but I have the time to now. Thanks for the recommendation!

Um, your requirements are what? Good writing when there are PRETTY PRETTY BOYS? Did QAF teach you NOTHING about priorities?
But, yeah, I don't care how clever the camera work or pretty the actors... if the writing isn't good, nothing is good enough. I'll definitely look up that book, again, thanks for the recommend.
I'd be interested to hear what you think. It's the best novel I've read in a while. Of course, I'm an Anglophile, and so the London setting is appealing. And it's interesting to read about the hedonistic, self-absorbed, cocaine-fueled 1980s. And the way James' quotes and references wind through the story,as well as Hogarth's definition of the line of beauty - Hollinghurst is an amazing writer. I'm very impressed

I read Brain!Tumor Justin about once every couple months. The suffering is exquisite, isn't it? Great stuff.
Do you ever read cross-over fic? I NEVER NEVER do, but there was one series called REAPER BOY, cross-over with Dead Like Me. I read THAT about twice a year, and I absolutely SOB every single time.

This fic is very popular - but I read it once and just can't go back. There's something in the writing style and subject matter that makes me want to crawl into bed, pull the covers over my head and never come out. I get these urges enough without my fic encouraging it so I avoid it like the plague. Or maybe it's the crossover.

Suffer Justin, Suffer! And then make Brian suffer in your sufferage... oh, wait, sufferage, wrong word.
But yeah, it's awe. SUM. I too read it every so often. I open it and read bits. Especially Brian queening out in a hotel room in Italy. Good stuff! Whiskey and glass, shatter! Justin all soothing even as the ill waif.
