Poly Recs. Mine are up there.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
From a not-overwhelmingly-good crossover, but this made me snicker:
Gozer's gaze snapped toward the discomfited archeologist, and his eyes glowed with a strange mixture of curiosity and contempt. The dog-monster sniffed the air and growled, as its master asked in the distorted tones of the Goa'uld, "Are you a god?"
"Well, no. But I'm married to one," Daniel replied.

Up with the sun
I just read the new Herself story.
It's great, but, dammit...
Spoilers follow: I hate it when a writer takes two characters, makes them happy -- an earned happiness, not a fluffy-bunnies happiness -- and then decides to torture them. I would have liked the fic much better if it had ended with Buffy and William getting engaged: to have Spike all happy and human and suntanned, and then reduce him to a vamp eating rats, is ... it's just mean. If TPtB made Spike human in such a conditional way as they do in the story, I'd say the Gods were mean; for this story, Herself is God.
I mean, I understand that it's supposed to be literary.or something. But, dammit, the story is basically highly literate smutfit. It doesn't need to have a literary, nightmare-esque ending! A fluffy bunny one would be perfect! Really!
In short, the story would be perfect if it ended about 5 pages sooner.

But damn, the boys are cute together.
Blair just squicks the hell out of me. I don't know why, can't explain it. Part of it is probably related to his weird resemblance to the guy in Mask, but mostly it's just this strange, visceral reaction, and I can't read Sentinel fic at all.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Just skipping to the end to tell Deena that I am sure that she will LOVE Herself's fic. I almost have no words for how much I love it. Since I rarely read books now, she is pretty much my favorite author, fanfic or not.

Thanks, Susan. It's nice to know I'm not nuts.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Thanks, Sophia! I probably won't get to do any reading until Tuesday when Greg goes back to work. Having him home is nice, but totally messes up my playtime *g*.

Always Anti-fascist!
I loved it completely, but I'm a big fan of Herself.
