McTabby lists stories for which she never got past the summary.
A stag and a cat make an astounding discovery: They're humans! Humans who have been dead, as in as a doornail, for nearly fifteen years!
A strange girl with a Lapine name is boarded in Hogwarts in her seventh year, and she meets up with Remus, a werewolf. She begins to get wierd feelings for him, and Remus her. But Zen has secrets.
Albus runs away from his heart to Paris but his heart follows him.
Another mournful chronicle of Harry Potter rising from the ashes of Book 5.
The air held a slight fragrance of abhorrence and it tightly held him with its invisible claws. His eyesight was going in and out of proportion anonymously and everything was distorted for the exception of a dark figure standing inapprehensive to the power tugging wind.
This one reads like spam.

The mental picture this gave me (based on a literal interpretation of the text) gave me my first real laugh of the day. Which I needed.

For a few moments, I was not only getting the literal picture, but thinking of the chatacter Paris from the Gilmore Girls!
Anne , I just read your CSI recs from crack_van as well as an improbable but enjoyable Simon/Lex Luthor, and I really enjoyed them Do you know any more good Dara/Grissom. I am afraid, as is usual with most of my ships, that the schoopy schoop prevails to the detriment of good writing.

In my stubbornly literal mental picture, it's kind of shuffle-hopping along behind him, making moist little squishy-squelchy noises at every hop, and picking up bits of road grime and dropped pigeon feathers as it goes along. Every once in a while it has to stop to catch its breath, because it's hard going, trying to catch up when you're shuffle-hopping and squelching along without legs.

Agreed. It takes a
lot
to get me to read Sara/Grissom, usually a) prior knowledge of the author's stuff or b) a rec from someone I trust. There's only one other Sara/Grissom fic I'm going to rec, and in that one, the 'shippiness is kind of tacked on. Let me see what I can find--I probably won't have a chance to post any recs until tomorrow, though.
Are you sexually frustrated? Is your partner not 'getting it? Do you want to make them notice you? Well, read on, my friend, read on.
This one would probably make me want to read.
*shame*
My favorite went along the lines of "Draco needs blood to live. Literally." Made me snort tea.
Hey, vw, I've got some Sports Night and Firefly recs, if you're still looking for stuff to read.
Anne, I picked up on a couple of your recs for CSI, but as I don't ship the show, I didn't read some of them. Did you rec the one where
Nick dies and calls Grissom from the dead
? Because I really liked that one.
metaquotes had a post from grammar_whores that I snarked at:
From the comments to a post in grammar_whores about misusing "literally":
gentlesatyr: About a race: "He's literally come back from the dead to win this one."
I know. That's such hyperbole. Everyone knows zombies can't do any better than a slow shuffle.
