I got my yuletide job as well. There's nothing particularly strange about it, but... suddenly I have no idea how to do it. Why did I sign up for this again?

And it's het. Don't get me wrong, I volunteered for it. Still, I haven't written anything with girls in it since... um... X-Men?

I'm prepping a recommendation for Crack Van, and I was wondering if the following would sail over the heads of too many people in the group:

(title) is one of the darkest, most painful CSI fics I have ever read. How dark? How painful? Well, imagine for a moment that Jerry Bruckheimer decided one day to turn over creative control of the show. To Tim Minear. That about sums it up.

Thoughts? Should I leave it as-is or rephrase?

I love it, Anne.

Thanks, erika. It'll be a day or two before the rec is posted, since I'm waiting for the author to post the epilogue to the fic (which should happen any time now.) I'm also champing at the bit to post my crossover rec. It's all typed up and ready to go, and I'm tempted to post it now and not wait until tomorrow.

I watched Boondock Saints this weekend and I have a fannish question, has anyone seen it?

I've seen it, askye.

It was an okay movie, it lost me a bit toward the end though and I really didn't like Willam Defoe.

I don't get where people see the subtext and not in my "la la la there's no sex in LoTR" kinda way. There's just nothing there between the brothers, no disturbing hodgeberry kind of actions.

I don't get where people see the subtext

Huh. I saw the subtext, in a "only two people in the world, and to death do we part" kind of way. And if you watch the deleted scenes on the DVD, the subtext is a little more overt. Their relationship is intense, anyway, whether one reads it as sexual.

I'm sure part of why there's Connor/Murphy fan fiction has to do with certain kinks, like twincest and Catholic guilt.

I watched the deleted scenes and I really didn't get a slashy vibe, but twinscest ins't one of my kinks and I know nothing of Catholic Guilt.

I don't usually get incest vibes, but I could see where people were coming from in Boondock Saints.
