Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

*Loved* Livia's Selina-voice.

Ooh, yes. And the Indy/Shift was fantastically fun. (What did we do to deserve such a good day of fic?)

And Te wrote some JL post-"Starcrossed" Bruce/Clark that made me squee, too.

I have no clue, but I think I've read something like four outstanding things today, three of them before breakfast.

It's amazing.

And the Indy/Shift was fantastically fun.

I really, really need to stop reading this as Shrift now that I'm finding good Shift fic.

I really need to stop typing it that way. I mean, I love Shrift even more than Shift, but RPSing people I know just so isn't my thing.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Lots of good fic posted this week.

Here's one of them. Stargate, end of the world, post-Lost City. Fabulous dialog. Jack and Daniel and ice.

I need to track down all the Day After Tomorrow challenge stories, see what's good.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Destina and Hal posted their J/D ficathon entries today, as well.

If you've been waffling about VividCon:

Our membership cap is 100, and we currently have 80 registrations. If we hit 100 registrations we'll start a waiting list.

If you're registered but haven't paid, and we hit 100, you'll be shifted to the waiting list to make room for paid registrations.

Meanwhile, there's another good reason to register and pay soon: this is the last month to get your Vividcon membership at the current price ($65 by check, $70 by Paypal). On July 1, the price rises to $75 regardless of payment form.

To register, go to http://www.vividcon.com/reg.shtml. Once you submit your registration you'll be sent to the payment page.

If you've registered but still need to pay, you can go straight to http://www.vividcon.com/payment.shtml.

Y'all reading Minnow's Things Left Undone series? She just posted another piece.

And that new piece?

Best one yet.

Murder death killed me.

One of the things I love about Minnow's writing (she's been ficcing for at least five years, and we became good friends back in XF when she wrote as Maria Nicole) is the absolure surety of it. I never get the sense that she's stumbling around, unsure of the voices, unclear where she's going. She may take a leisurely path to get somewhere, but it's always always confident and clear.

If you're ever looking for some wonderful but not shmoopy little Mulder-Scully UST, find "The Opposite of Impulse". Simply lovely. And "Sedimentation". And "Subcutaneous", which is a marvelous mytharc story.
