Not Bad.

Household conversation between me and c8h10n4o2junkie:

Me:  ::Looking at what's open on the browser::  Your reading my from del.icio.us page!
Her:  Yeah.  You have good taste*.  And I haven't read some of these.
Me:  Thanks!  Do you like the Jess warnings?
Her:  There are warnings?
Me:  Only on a few of them.  Big capital letters at the beginning of the notes.  JESS, WARNING.
Her:  Oh my God, I love you.

Because she, you see, doesn't want to read any story, in any fandom, in which her OTP doesn't live happily ever after, thank you very much, no matter how poignant and human and well-written it may be.  I knew she'd get to my del.icio.us eventually, so making sure that the sad slash stories are marked there is me taking care of her as her mother.

*facepalm*  We are so weird.


*Her. Actual. Words.  I don't get that very often. Usually, what I get is, "You're not going to wear that are you?"

Chemo progresses apace.  Six rounds done, two more to go.  In the meantime, I'm keeping my tired, cranky, bald-headed, foggy-brained self as far away from the rest of humanity as possible.  I'll get back to y'all  when I'm decent.

Except for this:   If you haven't seen it yet, tightropegirl posted a strike update yesterday, and is asking for fans to join in the pencil campaign in support of the WGA, A.S.A.P.  Check out her post, here.  The fan-love within will make you proud to be a fan (not that you weren't already!).  (If you don't know tightropegirl, she's Doris Egan, currently a writer for "House," and a fangirl her own self.)

Psssst, pass it on.  ;-)

It's been a weepy week.

I have a mass growing in my right breast. They biopsied it yesterday, but the pathology report won't be back until Friday afternoon or (argh!) Monday morning.

I need 3-5 days worth of distraction, people.

Rec me some slash, babies!

I want exquisite writing in any fandom from any time. Worlds I can get lost in. Give me an overlooked gem, or remind me of an old favorite or two (or three or twenty). Short or long, light or dark, hearts and flowers or sizzlin' porn; it's all good.

(To any and all "old timers" out there: I find I'm especially hankering for fic in TS, MfU, SG1 -- old, lost loves. We got a new computer last year when our old one crashed and burned, and I lost a lot of links in the process. Plus, I got distracted by the shiny of SGA, then SPN, so I know I've missed some stories that shouldn't be missed.)

What wonderful stories do you have bookmarked? Which authors do you go back to time and time again? Where do you go for respite from the real world?
