She's still in Chicago--it'll go up probably a bit after she gets home.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I'm watching The Outsiders, and there's an awful lot of "we're not like other guys, huh, Johnny," so I google "Sodapop/Johnny," and there's literally one story in AO3. Why is it all Dally/Johnny? I don't read a lot of fic, but that is surprising to me.

I wrote up an intro/primer to the k-pop band BTS and related fic for a couple of people here. If anybody else wants, I'd be happy to send it to you.

I also, after 20 years of not doing so, started writing fic. I don't even know how it happened.

(I finished the movie, and I get Dally/Johnny now, but still stand by Soda/Johnny!!!)

(Obviously I have seen this move before, but it's been years.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The primer is great! I haven't gotten a chance to really delve in because I have been distracted by life stuff, but I would suggest it.

I think I was sort of in to Ponyboy/Johnny, but I didn't think of it as such t the time. But it seems like Ponyboy really saw how beautiful Johnny's soul was. Again, haven't read or seen since possibly the late 80's! But I remember reading at the kitchen table and just sobbing "Nothing gold can stay....Nothing gold can stay", and that poem still hits me in the feels because of it, even though Robert Frost was really sort of a distant type poet(see mending wall).

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I just got a comment on the Night Circus fic I wrote for Yuletide. One of the users who translates stories into other languages asked permission to translate my fic (with a link to the original story) into Russian. They said it makes a perfect companion piece to the novel.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

From the Department of Randomness: I found out this weekend that one of my brother's closest friends writes General Hospital fanfic. So if anybody is a fan of Robert Canary (IIRC - not his real last name), I know him, and have since (yikes) about 1983.

Ack, it's almost time for Yuletide nominations.

Lee, I gave shrift your 2017 and 2018 VVC sets to pass on to you when she sees you.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

so yuletide rules are fandom pairing with little to no works, right?
