It's a day later, but I hope you all (American you all, at least) had a lovely Thanksgiving. Mine was surprisingly lovely all around, if not particularly interesting to recount.
Last night, when I was having trouble falling asleep, I was thinking about
crack_van and what stories I would rec if I were doing Smallville, and I started making a list in my head of the ones that started all the controversy and discussions -- stories where everyone and their dog needed an lj/blog post or mailing list post, often including kerfuffles. I came up with
koimistress's Mercy,
seperis's Handful of Dust, and
rosenho's Bradbury story, and then perhaps Immortality or
thete1's Vision Thing series.
And of course then it struck me that *all* of these stories were pre-Season 2. I mean, what's up with that? How are we supposed to keep our reputation as the evil bitches this way? Is the fandom getting, like, mellow as it ages?
Very strange.
And then I fell asleep and had a bizarre dream where
thete1 was giving me Thanksgiving not-gaining-weight tips. Apparently the secrets are no mayonnaise on the turkey and no whipped topping on the pie.
