A short list of things

[blamebrampton]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY hogwartsvixxxen ! I hope you have a wonderful day, and thank you for all the support and brightness you bring to the world. I hope this year is better and easier for you than last!

And now, a few links across my flist.
* annafugazzi  has a brilliant link that shows why George Takei is an international treasure right here.
* The ever-lovely dysonrules  has her post of anti-wank here. It is a place of much niceness!
* Filled with joy and glee about things you have read in the HP fandom that were H/D or Next Gen? Share the happy! Funky Faynia's list of all things AS/S is here.  Marvy Maggie's list of all other Next Gen and Crossover fics is here. And Brilliant Bryoney's list of H/D recs is here. While we're on the topic, can anyone point me in the direction of the best R/S?
* That stylish young artist raitala  has been hosting an extensive conversation on our experiences with being new and older in fandom. The comments are fascinating! If you have a spare half hour, take a read through here.

Must dash off to work on a beta, and the apparently Giant Instructions On Writing for the lovely gh, who knows who she is.

musesfool, whose rec list was recced you, is also an excellent R/S writer. She has, alas, moved on to Supernatural, but her stuff is classic. Cate does some lovely happy puppy fic. (Ridiculously cute and fluffy, but in the best way.) copperbadge / sam_storyteller's R/S fic is here in case you haven't already found it. Just to warn you, Laocoon's Children 3 languishes in WIP hell. Of course, all of these are fairly major, so you might already have seen them.

I'm pretty sure I have more tucked away on my PC (am currently on laptop) but my flatmate's parents are down there, and I don't fancy trying to explain Harry Potter fanfic to them. :o)

Hee! Yes, DEFINITELY avoid that conversations. Thanks for the recs, this weekend is Reading Time ;-) (And yes, Sam rocks! But the other two are new!)

What, no beta-ing this weekend? *ducks*

HEE! Deserved! You're coming along, but I am beta-ing so slowly at the moment, work has sapped my juju, I need a spot of reading to bring it back!

:oD Fair enough. There really isn't any hurry, I just can't help myself sometimes.

I hate it when work saps your will to live. Not that that has happened to me lately. >.> I hope Remus and Sirius can help rejuvenate you over the weekend. *rereads sentence* That may have come out a little wrong.
