Happy Day After Christmas! And happy Yuletide! I've made it through the first part of the alphabet, thanks to the pit of lethargy that is my mother's house :) And here are my recs so far:

( Choice of Broadsides!! And Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Babylon 5, Anne of Green Gables, Kavalier and Clay, Holmes on Homes on Cthulhu, Bend it Like Beckham, A Wrinkle in Time, Downton Abbey, and 12th-century history )

Today has been full of laundry, grocery shopping, and lethargy. whee. Which means that I finished reading Yuletide! If you have any more stories to recommend, I'd love to see them, because I inevitably miss some in the enormous pool of potential stories to read. Here are the last bunch of stories that I did find:

( Lots of Connie Willis, a bit of nepotism, some academic amusement, and A Very Special Guest Star Crossover, Yaaaaay! )

Happy New Year from Kingston! I'm back home and very tired, but very happy to have done all that I have - and even happier to have seen all the people that I have - over the last week ( Read more... )

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY karakara98! May it be as awesome as you are!

Second, here are my first batch of Yuletide recs! I've only gotten as far as the Gs - there will be more to come!

( A Proud Window Into My Formative Years, Alphas, two wonderful Doctor Who crossovers, Dark Tower, a Game of Thrones drinking game, an octopus, and more! )

A few more Yuletides: what I managed to read before the server went all wonky on me...

( Temeraire and Middleman (powerchord!) )

First, happy birthday karakara98! I still miss the time when we were roommates, sometimes. You're a wonderful friend, and I hope you have an excellent birthday!

Second, here are some more Yuletide recs!

( Slings and Arrows, Nation, one sublime and one ridiculous Beowulf, Brother Cadfael, Settlers of Catan (yes, really!) and an AMAZING chanson de geste )

It is SNOWING! We're getting a blizzard tonight, and it's already started coming down pretty hard. I was going to spend today running around seeing Laura and Judy and the kiddies, but it all ended up getting condensed into the non-snowy morning and early afternoon. I still had a lovely time with all of them, but it was more rushed than I had wanted ( Read more... )

Ah, an evening of inertia and playing on the internet. So I have more Yuletide recs!

It looks like there's no Narnia this year? Sad! Yuletide always made good Narnia fics. Anyway, here's the best of the rest!

( Temeraire, Middleman, Unusuals, and Like Water for Chocolate )

I am HOME. In MY APARTMENT. In MY LIVING ROOM. With MY MESS that very much needs to be cleaned up! But it is still MINE.

The way to survive visits to my mom's, apparently, is to leave when I still feel like I haven't spent enough time there, and to play lots of Scrabble.

There was lots of downtime yesterday, though, so I went through a ton of ( Read more... )

I'm sloooowly making my way through the Yuletide archive. Oh wow, there's some great stuff this year!

When I get back from running errands with Mom, I'm going to start digging into those Flash Forward fics. In the meantime...

( ...Anastasia, Slings and Arrows, Dark Tower, Secret Garden, Coupling, some excellent and nepotistic Brother Cadfael, equally nepotistic and excellent Three Musketeers, and more! )
