tell me (about) a story

[phineasjones]

i would like to read some fanfiction. but, as i have recently mentioned ::cough:: while not entirely sober ::cough::, i have not been attending to the flist as much as i would like to lately. and that's where i get my reading.

so. what's the best thing you've read - or written - lately? if you tell me, i'll give you big, wet kisses with lots of tongue.* **

we went to see kinsey this afternoon, after my family visited to celebrate mmm_cake's birthday. fascinating stuff. wow.

while trying to cover the living room windows in plastic, i managed to knock over and break a vase and then tip over a floor lamp so it fell against a wall and killed the light bulb. i am not feeling terribly coordinated.

*except no, because i'm not into lots of tongue.
**also, i have a girlfriend, so no again. but you get the enthusiasm of the gesture.

i wrote something that looks like remus/sirius (http://www.livejournal.com/users/minervacat/725133.html) if you squint. <3

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

excellent. ::squints:: thank you.

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

see, now that i know there is no kissing i am like, whatever dude :P but as i have neither written nor read much of anything lately, it is unlikely i would have been able to help regardless ;)

i really wanted to see kinsey. damn real life intruding on my movie-going.

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

oh, sorry. ::kisses you on the sly-like::

well i, for one, am looking very much forward to kinsey on dvd. because i was fascinated by the movie but i think it's kinsey and what he did that was fascinating more than the movie. you know? i mean, it was well-made but a fairly standard biopick. imo. the dialogue wasn't great. the acting was very good. but really, the story was the interesting part. so i want an extras-filled dvd, please, with lots of historical info and mini-documentaries. :)

but... the movie did have the kiss... about which i assume you know so i hope i'm not spoiling anything. and that makes it worth seeing whenever you can.

also, i feel your pain bc i never go to movies any more and it makes me sad. my gf and i don't have exactly the same taste. it only overlaps on occasion. like this one.

*glee*

yeah, i do know about the kiss :) and my theory is by the time i can afford netflix everything like this that i missed this season will be out, and so yay. a dvd like that would be awesome - i hope it happens. also, i try to see everything laura linney is in because she's fabulous even in dreck like love actually.

Night Emperors (http://www.livejournal.com/community/merry_smutmas/55540.html) by imochan. It's Sirius, Remus and Snape fic written for merry smutmas. There's so much more going on in the fic than the smut.

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

excellent, thank you very much.

[antheia.livejournal.com]

I was glancing through the recs and felt the need to pause and say how very much I love your icon.

[annecatherine.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's a favorite of mine. All the credit goes to raelala who makes such fabulous icons. She made it, I gacked it.

Well, I posted a longish Prince of Tennis story this week. (How's that going, btw?) I Am The Walrus, Momo/Kaidoh, how to succeed at doubles. Starts here, if you're so inclined: http://www.livejournal.com/users/prillalar/171275.html

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

thank you for the linkage.

the PoT is going slowly... hardly at all for weeks. which is good for me in general bc it means i'm paying attention to things like grad school applications but a little sad too because i would love to lose myself in new fandomness. the time will come, i'm sure.

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

Have you read the shackinup_sesa stuff yet? Lots of good stuff there.

And Saturday I posted The Means to Make Amends (http://www.livejournal.com/users/musesfool/769677.html), a non-angsty post-prank fic...

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

non-angsty??? i'm so there. ;)

thanks.

[starfishchick]

Can you be more specific as to what you'd like to read?

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

ummm... i'm really just looking for recs of good things. almost anything hp (non-sirius/remus-otp-violating). anything lotrips. or lotr. anything from any fandom i'm familiar with.

[starfishchick]

Have you read Mercy, Pity, Peace by juliefortune. HP, Remus/Sirius. R. 28,000 words. Angsty and AMAZING.

Anything lotrips that minervacat ever wrote: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=minervacat&keyword=my+fic:+lotr+rps&filter=all.

(I'm assuming you've read all of marginalia's stuff - http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=marginalia.)

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

no, i have not read that, thank you! and i've read some of min's and some of jaci's but certainly don't mind the reminder to read more of them both. thanks muchly.

I would highly recc Harry Potter and the Sword of Gryffindor. 6th year, post OotP. The author has others, and I would rec those as well, including his originals. :)

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

hey, thanks... do you know where i can find it - the author's name or anything?

[constantine1453.livejournal.com]

Yes - here it is - I forgot to include the link...oops. Dan Kirk is his name... the link to his main story page is here - scroll down for the HP links. http://dkstories.gayauthors.org/

thank you!

[kaalee.livejournal.com]

Recs, eh? Okay, this Harry/Ron: Exorcism (http://www.livejournal.com/community/merry_smutmas/60893.html) Masterful and scary and really well done.

and then a little s/d double drabble I wrote a couple of weeks ago: Floating (http://www.livejournal.com/community/half_and_half/801.html) (*angsty*)

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

oh, i did read that h/r. scary indeed. ::shudder::

::tabs the d/s:: :)
