*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 would certainly be willing to volunteer for such a hard mission. I mean, if it was for SCIENCE.

This whole discussion puts me to mind of Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex (http://www.rawbw.com/~svw/superman.html), Larry Niven's essay on why sex with Superman would be very very dangerous.

Which is why I would want Benton Fraser to hug me with his Mountie goodness, so I volunteer for the painful scientific study. ::peers around for sign-up sheet::

I, too, thank you for such a lovely rec, which made me all verklempt-y.
