Rec List Update

I finally got around to updating the rec list again. This time it's a big overhaul. I went over the whole list and several fics were removed either because they were abandoned or I feel like they aren't of the best quality and don't meet my expectations anymore. Looking back at some of them, they were messes of bad grammar, OOCness, or general nonsensical elements, and so I can't recommend them to people anymore.  Aside from that, I've updated the list with 12 new fics that cover a wide range of... read more

I hope I don't regret this, but Fandom 14 is Prince of Tennis . I've not been following the communities for about two years, so I'm pretty curious about what people have been doing - although if you remind me of old favorites, that's cool, too. Any pairing, any topic is fine. The Formal Meme Anyone is welcome to join in, even if you and I don't usually agree on pairings or hang out in the same circles. I'd like that, actually, to get a bit of variety going. Please don't feel shy or...

I've just read one of the best fan fictions ever. It completely blew me away. In the three and a half years I've been reading fanfic, I don't think I've read a story that has moved me as much as this has. Counting to Five Thousand by kshneyer ***Warning: Keep a box of tissues handy... Spoilers Ahead The last time I cried this much was when I finished reading HBP. Kshneyer is a fantastic writer; I loved every word of this story: it has tragedy, romance and lots of angst. Now...

I've never rec'd Smallville fic before and I know that there are not many of you on my f-list involved in that fandom, but the following story I found that compelling that I simply have to praise it. Give it a try, I believe it's a fantastic read even if you're not a fan. (Don't worry, I'm not about to leave HP fandom and Snarry is still my OTP.) Smallington by Anon at the harlequin_sv challenge (Clark/Lex, PG-13) Summary (provided by the author): Due to a deplorable scandal, Alexander...

I can't believe I forgot to rec this. dorcas_gustine has done a splendiferous job of writing James May into 1973. (Top Gear/Life on Mars cross-over). Where Have All the Good Times Gone? (All we need now is for rionaleonhart to finish her Jeremy-in-1973 fic and all will be good!!!) No other news, all is fine (although the weather isn't), I need to get off my arse and do stuff, but am, as usual, procrastinating and not-writing fic. !

So I saw Shrek 3 the other day, and it was hilarious, I thought. A lot of my friends have told me before I saw it myself that they didn't really think it was all that funny; or as humorous as the first two, anyway. "What is this? Shrek? Not funny? Impossible, I say!" And so I watched it to see for myself, because I love you guys and everything, but blah. Shrek 3 was funny. I don't care what you say. The part with the Frog King at the beginning had me in stitches, and the part with Pinocchio...
