I’m sorry, reader, but the review is in another castle.
posted in read-a-thonMy idea was to read some comics and books. You know, get some of the books I’m looking forward to out of the way. Yep, I thought the readathon was going to be an excellent chance for me to catch up on some original fiction!
Er, but it kind of hasn’t worked out that way. I haven’t touched a book, but instead have been combing delicious for fanfic I’ve been meaning to read. Here is what I’ve read so far:
- A Precise and Accurate History of Monday, Eleven Years Later. Seriously, I ship Aziraphale/Crowley so hard. (Good Omens)
- The Dionaea House (original fiction, or maybe like House of Leaves fanfic?)
- Switch, which is basically epic Kirk/McCoy that I’m not even sure I like yet, but it’s hard to find good Kirk/McCoy fic, anyway so I’ll take what I can get? Seriously, this is like two fantasy novels tied together, it’s so long. (Star Trek XI)
- Transfigurations! I totally love this story, I read it a long time ago and re-read it today, and love Draco. (Harry Potter)
- Written in the Stars I’m not sure how I feel about this one (which generally sums up all my feelings about fic that takes the totally ill-advised epilogue to Deathly Hallows and runs with it), but well! I kind of can’t resist father-bonding, fff. I have daddy issues. (Harry Potter)
Well. At least it’s only five in the afternoon, right? XD I could grab a book later…maybe.
posted in shameless self-promotionThis post is not about books in any direct way. Instead, we are going to talk about Me, Me, and also, Me. So if I bore you, you can just go read a book! PROBLEM SOLVED.
Today we are taking a trip down the lane of my life I was trying to separate from this site because the last thing I wanted was someone who thinks I am an okay if sometimes sarcastic douchebag book critic to stumble across erotic fanfiction that I have written (oftentimes badly) and block me on Twitter, or strike me from their hearts, or perhaps judge me based on my creative writing and allow it to discredit my critiques (this is, of course, in order of importance). I have arrived at this point because I had a dinner, in public, with Debi and her family in August, where we discussed how Chris read my porn and it was great!
I ALMOST DIED ON THE SPOT, GUYS. I am not kidding. I was as red as the shirt I was wearing because what, I thought I had successfully hidden my fanfic!, if by hidden we mean “just don’t talk about it!” I cackled to myself all the way home when her husband hit me up before we left and said, “hey, we want those links!” (Okay, it also endeared him to my heart forever!)
I was like, guys, what is this, a stickup? GIVE ME ALL YOUR EMBARRASSMENT RIGHT NOW? Okay, here, take it! *dies one thousand horrified deaths from acute embarrassment*
That’s right! I write fanfiction. I am airing all my secrets (but really not since this was a pretty open secret)! I will no longer dance around the topic! I will come out and say it: I write fanfiction and sometimes dudes have sex. Right up top, so you will know if you want to continue reading this entry. Read the rest of this entry »
