Everything you can imagine is real.

Okay, first of all, out of the whoping four-or-so stories I've written, I'm the most proud of this most recent one. Here, if you're interested.

Second:



I have no idea whether this is a book or a short story, and if the second where I'll find it, but nonetheless:

OMG G2G SQUEAKING LIKE A CHIPMUNK THAT IS OVERCOME WITH GLEE, BRB

*grins and laughs*

( babble )

If the Dresden Files were a game, it would be the type where Things jump out of the darkness and do unexpected things in sudden, violent, and frightening ways. It would be the type of game where the player spouts a steady stream of, "Ohshitohshitohshit--FUCK! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!? shitshitfuck--"

...

THeKIKOpeRsON has come up with what I feel is the most accurate look at the Sci-Fi channel's attitude about the show, The Dresden Files. I like it, and want to quote it.

I've been reading the fourth Dresden Files book. And you know what? 

Butcher keeps throwing one thing after another after another at Dresden, with literally no time in between! It's ridiculous. Utterly stupid.

And I keep reading because the writing style and characterization are probably the most enthralling and wonderful I've ever read. That's how it goes, I guess.

We got something in a big box. Mom took it out, sat down, and said, "Right away, someone sits in the box." 

I love cats. I love our cats, too.

Hmm, that it? Yes. For now.

Oh my God, everything hits Harry at once! And he's the only one who can deal with it all, and he ...

*cries for him*

Jim Butcher, why are you so cruel?

Since ff.net tells me I can't review twice (but I want to say something different! I noticed things!), I figured I'd post it here.

The story Benediction, by pansnymph. Short and lovely.

( this is the review I wanted to leave, and it contains spoilers for the story. If you want to read what I've put about it, go ahead and read the story and then come back. Yay for overly long fake cuts. )

In short... I highly recommend this story, though I'm hardly a critic. Love, love, love.

I just... I just... have to mention.

The Tenth Doctor meeting Bob.

O.O

...

Let me repeat that Hearts and Minds is the Best rp community, ever.

As a side note, Hendricks and Bob bonding over romance novels. The world is a beautiful place.

Also, Snape and Bob. Trading barbs.

I think there's someone in that community playing just about every character I've ever loved.

... *flails*

( I'm wasting my life with this... and it's *so much* fun. Let me waste a bit of yours too! *waves you over* Come! Read! )

 

The T.V. version, because while I haven't read the books, reading the first chapter of Storm Front on the author's site leads me to believe she's accepted the "unknown" far better than her alternate self.

Sorry, for those of you who do like her who find this. I'm glad you've found something you like. :) 

However, I'm glad to finally be able to figure out exactly what it is that I don't like about her and then complain about it. :) Harry thinks of her as a close friend, yet she often treats him with suspicion and accuses him of doing whatever horrible thing they're investigating at the time. When she got a hint of the truth she'd always been so on him for concealing from her, she acted traumatized and got angry at him because it didn't fit into her little mental picture of the world.

*shrugs*

Plus, she's too damned cute and made up. Give me a female lead who looks like she's got more important things to contemplate than the cover of the latest GQ magazine or whatever, and I'll be happy. Also, hint - don't force the two main characters together in a romantic relationship just because they're of the opposite sex. It's degrading. Get a more honest view of the way people relate to each other, please.

Midget Midget: Why did they only do twelve?

M M: Because the sci-fi channel, I do believe, is run by people who, due to an unfortunate mutation, cannot percieve the universe beyone their own arses.
M M: and also, they have unfortunate, untreated cases of ADHD, all of them
M M: oh, look! SHINY!
M M: *rushes off*
