I like very much.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Jeeeeesus.
So I was curious, and did a count of the stories on Poly Recs.
787 stories in 50 different fandoms.
787.
Damn.

Damn.
Proof positive that we are fannish crackwhores. Yay, team!

Thanks for all the fish.
Dana and shrift, maybe you should count the number of people you'ved seduced into the various fandoms. Because I'm a total DueSouth whore now, despite having barely seen an episode.

See, that's just so much more difficult to quantify. You've got the enthusiastic converts making with the yay, you've got the grudging converts who bombard you every day for more recs, the secret converts who say nothing...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just finished Lust Over Pendle. I enjoyed and appreciated it a great deal, and agree with the holes mentioned upthread. I did think it a touch too coy at times, though.

I need Crow recs. Movie or TV.
Someone please help me.

Thrive to spite them
I'm a happy convert of Due South, I dabbled in Sentinel, but it couldn't hold me. I read Hard Core Logo on occasion. I have an on again off again affair with Harry Potter. Farscape is the fandom I wanted to really really really like, but somehow we looked at each other and tried to make it work but the chemistry wasn't there. Highlander tries to seduce me back.
And Lord of the Rings...I feel the pull of the fandom, like Frodo feels the pull of the Ring.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
Can't help, sorry ita.
As for fandoms: Buffy is still my main, and will pick up again when they start showing the new season over here. On the other hand, I dabble in Trek fic without wanting to write it; I'm sliding quickly down the slippery slope into Star Wars (though only Han/Luke or Maul: I can't take Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan); and Lord of the Rings is a joy and a slash fandom growing in my mind.
And Harry Potter is flirting outragouesly, but it still has pimples so I'm hesitating.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Hossgal just posted something marvelous to her LJ -- it's Firefly fic. I'm hoping it'll end up on Glass Onion soon. I think this might be Hossgal's perfect show -- spaceships and horses! Damn frelling FBC.
