Fuck work. Don't wanna talk or think about it anymore.

For me these days, the best temporary remedy for the Republican Economy Blues is the SQUEE.

So have some recs! This is what brightened up my last 24 hours more than anything else.

Harry Potter

Essay: [livejournal.com profile] rexluscus has written an astoundingly beautiful and wise journey of meta on Snape in DH. (**SPOILERZLIEKWHOA**)

Illustrated fic: Platform 9.99999999999999 by Didodikali ([livejournal.com profile] trickofthedark). Gen. Dumbledore, King's Cross, and atonement. (**SPOILERZLETMESHOWYOUTHEM**) Quiet and strong and packs a profound punch. Very inventive and unusual.

Art: Inspired by another story by Didodikali, Just Try Me by Frodobolson72 on DeviantArt. G-rated but smoking. Made well before DH, so no spoilerz...except it almost is, in a way!

***

Pratchett-tastic!

There's only thing in all the worlds that could have improved Monstrous Regiment. I didn't realize what it was until I read the first part of this story. Duh - appearances by Aziraphale and Crowley, of course!

At Stake by [livejournal.com profile] daughtersofisis. Good Omens/Discworld crossover, PG-13ish. Part 1 of a WIP. Vivid, plotty, hysterical--has that so hard-to-achieve Pratchettesque quality of making me want to stop and applaud the author every few lines, while still maintaining a plot that can keep the dream of fiction going even with the fourth wall made of Swiss cheese.

vulgarweed: (o r'lyeh (from ms_katonic))
This weekend, I was getting a series of spam in which all the subject headers were lines from Longfellow's "Hiawatha." It's been stuck in my head. Anyone else get poem earworms?


[livejournal.com profile] htebazytook had to go and remind me the Ultimate OTP Pairing Generator exists. It's a black-hole-force time-sink, but sometimes sitting there and clicking really pays off...


Aslan is shagging DickCheney

What's Your Ultimate Fandom OTP?
Shiver My Timber--A Pirate RPG



I want someone to write me these for my birthday:

cut for absurdity )

OK, maybe not Meatwad.

ETA: The indecently brilliant [livejournal.com profile] catherinecookmn has just written me a ficlet: HAL9000/Granny Weatherwax.

Also, in her wonderful CON.TXT recap post, [livejournal.com profile] isiscolo links to [livejournal.com profile] ellen_fremedon's recap of the Fandom Spelling Bee! Laughing...too...hard...can't...breathe. (As a Regional-level competitor in my childhood, I must admit that this would have defeated me.) Man, I gotta get me to some cons one of these days.
