All the RomCom of Qi Xi

I've been promising links to a few of my favourite GLBT books.

The first is Kirith Kirin. I reviewed it before and it maintains a very high spot on my favourite book list. A small caveat - I would not read the continuation of the series. It devolves into a weird world that I didn't enjoy.

Lynn Flewelling. No, srsly. She has two series - Nightrunner series feature a gay couple as the two main heroes. Every book (but the last one which I hated) is well written. I have high hopes for the next book as the author took the concrit and worked on the issues and promised to improve the issues. So give this series a try.

The second series is Tamir Trilogy features a transgendered heroine. It's a fantastic concept and it's fairly well executed. I quite like this series.

So there are some of my favourite books. Do you have any recommendations?

Finally, a few more fandom things - I've been promising a link to this story - Why Sex Ed Should Stay in Schools - it's a Sesame Street slash story and omg. The lulz. I talked about this at Terminus a lot. I've talked about this story in chats and on vacation and just go read it. It's seriously amazingly crackalicious.

Verbotene Liebe playlist. Srsly awesome in a semi-poorly-acted German and subtitled sort of way.

Fry's messed up my schedule. I'm working 14 days in a row. Of which - 10 of them are 15 hours of WORK, 2 hours commute and an hour for lunch. I do not think I am sleeping much in the next week yet.

Am stuck working on Mother's Day which doesn't make me happy. But - oh well. It's money and considering how much I just spent on Mother's Day - I need it. Especially considering that I went out and bought an iPod with my economic stimulus package check. Finally. It's a bright blue iPod nano. This thing had better not die like those on my flist have. *waggles finger at it* It is made of win, though. I got the iTrip and now I have music in my car again!

I know you all are probably all o.O over the whole Ollian thing (yes, I hear the cries of STFU already) but GOD, they are eating my brain. They're like my favorite fic cliches. They're sort of mates, they're definitely flatmates and they have this slow slide into a relationship and once they get to a certain point, they drop off into the hottest stuffs. Though - there is a marked lack of snogging lately. Also - a marked lack of snuggling. And shirtlessness. And sex.

The fanvid eating my brain:



hd_worldcup posted the last set of stories so get out there and read and vote! You have a week free of posting to go to town during! Don't forget that you can drabble and/or comment pr0n during the week, too!

I'm always amazed at how free some people are with their personal information online. I linked from a link to a link to a link and I discovered someone's entire real life down to photos and addresses. I just don't get it.

rs_games has started posting. Go Team Knobby Knees. I mean, Go Team Wrinkly Bits. Err, Go Team Post Hogwarts! School MWPP Old Style, bbs. There are some amazing entries already. Of course, Team Post-Hogwarts have the best ones but you can go for Team MWPP if you must. *winks*

This post of random aimlessness is brought to you by the fact that I'm knackered off my ass and I really just want to go to bed but I must cook mother's day dinner tonight so that we can slip it into the oven tomorrow (homemade lasagna FTW!).

Anyone have any exciting plans? Share?

Happiest of Birthdays to maple_mahogany! I've a bit of something in the works but, err, it isn't done on time. Yanno - like everything I try to do.

The first 30 seconds of this video are the cutest seconds ever -



Also - finally watched the three videos I skipped and it seems that Ollie does know about all of the prison time and that's one of the reasons he was falling for Christian. Oh so w00bie. I totes thought that he'd only known about one of the prison times but he knows about both. But, I'm certain that in true soap opera style - Christian will get sent back to jail. Again. And then him and Ollie will have gay buttsecks in one of the rooms. :D

Wrote a bit today. Am also going to fight with iTunes and switch out my library over to my external harddrive. Wish me luck :/.

Most nights? I get about 4-5 hours of sleep because of the two jobs thing.

Last night? 2. Two hours of sleep and why? Because of a german fucking soap fucking opera. Verbotene Liebe is crack, I've decided. They laced it with crack to get me addicted.

HERE is the playlist for the videos I've been watching non-stop since Sunday morning. I didn't go to Ikea and get my bookshelves. I didn't write. I didn't play the xbox. I didn't do anything but watch these damn videos (and run laundry when I got bitched at).

As an example so as to share the crack - here's IMHO the best one so far -

(pre-story: Christian keeps protesting that he's straight but he's already had some snogs and a one-night stand with his roommate Ollie. So Ollie and his BFF somehow meet up with Christian and some girl when they accidentally go dancing at the same club. Christian hipchecks the dude that was dancing with Ollie. Picspam that explains the full backstory in a funnier manner - And... cue video with subtitles)



What song is that that's playing during the Moment between Ollie and Christian? It's driving me nuts to try to think of it.

( spoilers for the episode on 4-4-08 under here )

Rant: So they can have this sort of long drawn-out storyline on a German tv channel but for some fucking reason - America has to fuck it up. ( under here for the most part )

Proctor and Gamble finally JUST had Luke and Noah kiss and now they're thinking of discontinuing the storyline. Seems they're getting shit from the religious right. I don't even watch the damn show except for the Luke and Noah parts on youtube and I'm so tired of the way that this country kowtows to the fucking religious right. Hell, I'm Catholic and I'm fairly out and proud about it but that doesn't mean that I don't believe that there are other people out there that enjoy things that I don't or that my way is the only way.

So let's keep the grassroots movement that got these two to finally kiss on national television going and tell As the World Turns and P&G that there are those that appreciate the storyline by calling in to their phoneline (even if you don't watch it).

You'll eventually get two options (1 for Luke/Noah to continue and 2 if you don't think they should).

On more fandom news relations - I just realized that I hadn't responded to any of the comments left on my springsmut stories. Nor did I remember that I was rec'ing genfic at crack_broom. Guess who has to sneak out at work today to get some of this done? yeah. me. I really really need better memory skills. My apologies to anyone that had responded there (and I got so many lovely comments, too... fail, wook, major fail).
