Fic
- The Dancing Game by [livejournal.com profile] bwinter (Van Helsing, Gabriel/Dracula) waaaay before the movie, lyrical and hot.
- The Mayflower by [livejournal.com profile] viva_gloria (PotC, J/W) Present day AU done brilliant, some awesome descriptions of sailing!
- Natural Progression by [livejournal.com profile] chash (Boy Meets World, Shawn/Cory) Oh. OH. ::clutches heart and wibbles:: dude this is good, it's very real and very plain in that way that seems poetic.
- Canteen Food by [livejournal.com profile] daegaer (Hitchhiker's Guide) On eating habits of aliens...::gigglesnort::
- Teaching Skills by [livejournal.com profile] harukami (Naruto, Sasu/Naru/Saku) Because she NAILS the characterization. She nails it like WHOA.
- Pervert; a parable by Delial (Naruto, Sasu/Naru/Saku) See this? This is rhythm, but brought and bent to the demands of humor, and it is brill.
- Interlude by Sailor Comet (Naruto, Sasu/Naru/Saku) Sucker. Punch. Holy SHIT. o.o

Thought Provoking

- Roger Ebert write Neat things on fans and being a fan.
- Speaking of Ebert, in his review of Mr. And Mrs. Smith:
As the movie opens, they're in marriage counseling; the spark has gone out of their relationship. On a typical day, they set off separately to their jobs: He to kill three or four guys, she to pose as a dominatrix while snapping a guy's neck. Can you imagine Rock Hudson and Doris Day in this story? Gable and Lombard and Hepburn and Tracy have also been invoked, but given the violence in their lives, the casting I recommend is The Rock and Vin Diesel. In the opening scene, they could fight over who has to play Mrs. Smith.

Sorry. Lost my train of thought.

I reply that I know nothing about their private lives, except what I read in the supermarket tabloids, which also know nothing about their private lives. I can see this comes as a disappointment. So I think I'll start speculating about threesomes enlisting The Rock, Vin Diesel and Vince Vaughn, selected at random. This may be an idea for the sequel.,/I>



*snugs you*

Dude. HBP? Brilliant. The first book in the series worthy to stand on the strength of its own merits. Why are you not reading?

Has there been wank already? And where are the debates, pray tell? I don't know anyone IRL who's read the book yet, and I am itching to discuss with others.
