So I was out, football a dim roar in the distance, and then, well, started reading Supernatural fic (late as ever) and can't stop, and although it is reprehensible, it's also the joy of my life at present. And though I don't have time to do anything else, I am DAMN WELL going to start leaving proper feedback and being grateful for the joy. Maybe ( Read more... )

I got my Yuletide Long Winter story! And it's *great*. It's got frozen foot-thawing, a warm night in a cold barn, Cap's grin, Almanzo's homely sayings and I'm thrilled with it. I shall begin a new career as a commissioning editor. Read it here and leave nice comments. Huge thanks to amykay73 for coming through in such elegant Yuletide style ( Read more... )

Got my Yuletide in (just, hem) but that's got to be the first deadline I've actually made for about 6 years. Perhaps I've become a newly minted deadline-keeper. Perhaps not ( Read more... )

Gerrard is a jaded and shackled free spirit in need of a breakJaded! Shackled! I've never thought of Stevie as a free spirit, have to say. He's been shackled since he was 11. In a good way ( Read more... )

Well, hello. Firstly, *thank you* for even considering my list. Secondly, ignore the football stuff, it's not important right now.

( Only if it helps... )

At the last minute, I accidentally signed up for yuletide, mainly for the entirely selfish reason that I was never going to get that Almanzo/Cap or Freddie/Scudder (+ assorted others) fic unless I wrote a sulky Christmas list DEMANDING it. As I learnt at age 7, no-one's going to get you that Gymnast Sindy unless you kick your heels and THCREAM. So yeah ( Read more... )

If you can be in London on November 4th, come to the I-count rally for action on climate chaos. The enviro NGOs (Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, WWF et al) are all behind it ( Read more... )

Skimming idly through the slashy ether I came across this in a story header:

Warnings: A helluva lot of porn, rimming, and a man in his late 30's (John) having sex with a man in his early 20's.

Now if the author's community wouldn't welcome a 'helluva lot of porn and rimming' with open arms she should just find better friends, but I am amazed and ( Read more... )

One for the Beckett fans - In his World Cup blog for the LRB, John Lanchester notes Rooney's intertextual reference to kicking 'among' one's victim's testicles.

I see Stevie is promoting washing whiter than white with Persil. Hmm. ( An AU fragment )
