pilots attack!

[thrace_adama]

Hey, guys! I'm suffering from an acute pilots attack tonight (always)--advice on how to alleviate some of the symptoms? Fic or vid recs, maybe? Sometimes I feel like I've seen it all (over and over again b/c that's my thing) so anything off the beaten track would be especially great

AH HA! There might be some First Impressions being posted at this very moment......

Yippe!

ETA: I should also say that a lot of lovely shippers contributed some funny, cracky, heartbreaking comments and comment!fic over the past week at the DPP. Nothing cohesive exactly, but many of them made me laugh and smile. :D

How exciting!!!!! I will read it on my lunch break! :DDDD

Oh, yes, you're right, I have lots of DPP to catch up on. Thanks!

I can try for off the beaten track...Most of these are by well-known writers, but these stories seem to be sort of not-talked-about for whatever reason. Not recced as often.

leave it all behind by bantha-fodder (just because I was thinking about road trips today)

I would give you a sneak preview of one of my WIPs, but I am so far from finishing any of them. It would just be like "here's something I might post in 2011 if we're lucky!"

Oh, and another: Happenstance by pashoshi.

You know THAT does not ring a bell, so I'll check that out first. Many thanks.

[thrace_adama]

Oh, man, thanks. You always know just what to rec! I think I know of those, but definitely haven't read them in a while... Isn't it strange how some things don't end up in those lists? But hey, that's good for me tonight! Sounds like exactly what I needed. Thank you again!

Where are you finding the Gale/Johanna stuff, out of curiosity? Any you'd recommend? (I refuse to entertain the notion of Finnick/Johanna, sorry. :) )

[thrace_adama]

Eh, I had Tara and Anna, who had already found a lot of this, so I'm not the best person to ask. I see a lot of fic getting posted on themockingjay (and some cool icons, too), but of course there is no quality control. I tend to go by rec lists from people I trust, follow those authors, and then find other authors through them.

Here are some Gale/Johanna recs (no worries about F/J; those two are all about the unrequited love and dooooom, which is right up my alley but not for everyone):

[untitled aka the offspring fic, pt. 1] ) (not exaaaactly Johanna/Gale, this is centered around Jo&Gale's son and Katniss&Peeta's daughter. REALLY good, though, and I think electrumqueen may be planning to delve deeper into Johanna and Gale's relationship and their relationship with their son like she did with Katniss/Peeta in the sequel HEREThis next rec, the boy on fire trilogy, is not Gale/Jo (it actually involves some Gale/Katniss and Gale/Madge), but I'm really looking forward to reading it. It's an AU centered around the idea that Gale, rather than Katniss, went to the

Anna (Electrumqueen) just posted a longer sequel to the Gale-as-tribute fic, with Katniss as the one leading the charge in District 12. It's fantastic: http://bit.ly/bTzjwp

On the pilots front... sigh. I got nothing for you. :( No new writing and I'm even having trouble reading them lately.

[thrace_adama]

I know, I'm so excited to read it! I keep putting it off like some treat I have to work toward earning. MY BRAIN IS WEIRD LIKE THAT OKAY?

NOOOOOOO. Does this mean you're losing interest in them? You are the last person I thought that would happen to. :((((

[callmeonetrack]

Aw I don't think so. I just am in a lull with them I think. :( Eh, I don't know.

[thrace_adama]

Also, your epic icon is EPIC if I haven't said that enough. <3333333
