I love you, fandom.

I wasn't going to do this -- because, hey, fandom has already stroked my ego and made me giddy and loved yesterday with mrsronweasley's entry here -- but it turns out I am weak. If you want to say nice things about me in the Snap Cup meme, my name is here. If you haven't yet, you can comment to add your name name here, too, and we will all say lovely anonymous comments about YOU.

I am using my ":( SADFACE!" Martha icon from Livia, despite the fact I have nothing to be sadface about, just because it is new and pretty.

*gives you all a hug!*

I made a poll! It is not about porn. I know, I am surprised, too.

[Poll #1015434]


Here are some recs for you this fine July 4th! First, there is Price of Distance by nos4a2no9, which is a really lovely and evocative futurefic. It's loving and painful and honest, all at the same time, and it's poetic and descriptive in a way I would have thought would bore me (I have a short attention span) but which she makes work, absolutely beautifully.

Second rec is more general, because -- dude, you guys have all been reading arrow00, right? Her first dS story was posted in January, and the last six months have been totally productive. A new writer, writing in your favorite pairing, writing often, and writing really well? Seriously, is that not the most exciting thing in the world? I really admire how fresh the voice is in these stories; it feels like a new angle, a new version, and it adds an extra depth and characterization to the stories, even ones that are more or less PWPs.
