you betcha.
I'm thrilled going through the November polyrecs. You both always manage to find something(s) I haven't read, even when I'm neck-deep in a fandom.
Speaking of, alethia finished her brilliant Generation Kill/The West Wing fic, with Vice President Fick -- sort of an alternate version of an older, equally brilliant story. It gave me all the feels. Highly recommend.
Worthy of Trust and Confidence

"Mr. Vice President, I believe you might be familiar with Special Agent Colbert."
The world stilled.
And in walked Brad. Black suit. Black tie. Perfect.
and the earlier one:
The Loyal Opposition

"Brad Colbert, Christ-Killer."
"Ainsley Seaborn, Blond Republican Sex Kitten."
Definitely made the week somewhat less shitty.
Ha, I've got Worthy of Trust and Confidence open in a tab right now, but I've been having trouble with focusing this week for some strange reason.
Will mail DVDs sometime this week, definitely by Friday.
Okay! I start source review for Yuletide tomorrow. Definitely.
This is my plan, as well. Except either tonight or Wednesday.
I mean, I have ideas, but I need to make sure they actually work.
I'm going to a write-in on Friday so I should really start my canon review tonight.
I can't believe I'm complaining about this, but why is it that the people who write het for *Man of Steel* fandom do it so badly? Lois/Clark is pretty much as strong a OTP as I have regarding fanfiction, but all the good writers are slashing him with Batman instead.
I just started reviewing source for Yuletide, uh, yesterday. Oops?
Is it at least a quickly-reviewable source? I started writing yesterday.
I have about 200 words. But a general plan.
Reasonably quick. I have a story idea and notes, so the situation isn't dire yet.
Matt, I have no idea. But I've found that het pairings that would be really interesting tend to be written really poorly by about 90% of fandom. This is a pain I feel often. I don't recognize the female half of the pairing most of the time.
I have reviewed canon about three times, I have over 6600 words written, I'm still fighting off bears.
Thus, I am spending my days in Yulechat and doing word wars. I had fewer than 4k written yesterday morning!
