*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.

I do not know who any of those people are (besides Superman), although I assume, because it's you, that they're TV mounties.

That said, Superman would be the worst hugger EVER. His superstrength would mean he was either awkwardly tentative or crushingly affectionate, and ALSO his GIANT SPACE PECS would probably not be very pillowy.

Fraser is a TV mountie, but Duck MacDonald is the character CKR plays in Wilby Wonderful. He is a gay handyman dude and is wonderful. *nods*

Also AWWWW your Superman theory makes me SAD. You don't think Superman must have a really firm grip of exactly how much strength he needs to exert for various things? I mean, it's not like he crushes mugs when he's drinking coffee. *ponders*

Well, okay, maybe. But at the same time, you know how when you're srs bzns hugging somebody and you squeeze really hard? If Superman did that, people would die

Awwww, true. POOR SUPERMAN! :( Nobody can hug HIM in the comforting way, either! How looooooooonely.

Fox suggested George in the write-in vote, but I actually think Izzie probably does better.

[pirateygoodness.livejournal.com]

Clearly, this is proof that he and Supergirl are OTP? *knows very little about superheroes*

See, I think comparing George and Izzie probably isn't fair. It's like comparing buddy on the middle school hockey team to, say, Gretsky. George is probably top amateur, but Izzie hugs in the pro-leagues. It's because of her awesome rack.

I'm pretty sure Supergirl is like his cousin? If you wanted to pair him up with a superheroine, I think most people would be with Wonder Woman. Hee.

hahahaha, I just made myself this icon right before I got this comment? And one of the keywords I put on it was "katie heigl has a nice rack." GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE. AT LEAST WHEN IT COMES TO KATIE HEIGL'S BOOBS. *high five*

(Not that her chest is in the icon. But it still had to be said.)

[pirateygoodness.livejournal.com]

Is she? Damn. I just figured she'd be better than Wonder Woman, because coming from a planet of Amazon women, I assumed Wonder Women was gay. *shrugs* My bad.

Heee, EVIDENTLY WE DO. (Her chest is in my icon, if it helps)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Of COURSE it helps!
