| The obligatory jab at Tiger Woods |
[Dec. 28th, 2009|11:38 am] |
Did anyone receive this? I got it by email, I understand it's one of those viral passed-on-to-someone-else email thingies:
> TIGER POEM
>
> T’was the night of Thanksgiving and out of the house
> Tiger Woods came a flyin', chased by his spouse.
> She wielded a nine iron and wasn't too merry,
> Cause a bimbo’s phone number was in his Blackberry.
> He’d been cheatin' on Elin, and the story progressed.
> Woman after woman stepped up and confessed.
> He’d been cheatin’ with Holly, and Jaimee, and Cori,
> With Joselyn, and Kalika. The world had the story.
> From the top of the Tour to the basement of blues,
> Tiger’s sad sordid tale was all over the news.
> With hostesses, waitresses, he had lots of sex,
> When not in their pants, he was sendin' them texts.
> Despite all his cryin’ and beggin' and pleadin',
> Tiger’s wife went investin' -- a new home in Sweden.
> And I heard her exclaim from her white Escalade,
> "If you’re gettin' laid then I’m gettin' paid."
> She’s not pouting, in fact, she is of jolly good cheer,
> Her prenup made Christmas come early this year.
By the way, now they are suggesting that he used enhancing drugs to get that body of his? Where are the near-naked photos of this man so that I can see for myself whether this is true? |

Here's my extremely incomplete list of recs -- I've read so many more and loved them, but, what with me being so clever, didn't bookmark them, so when Firefox crashed and lost all my tabs I had no record. But here's what I've managed to gather together. They're all so wonderful I hardly know what to start with, so they're alphabetical.
( Recs recs recs recs. )
Okay, that's all for now, but once I find the others I was originally intending to rec I may be back with more (quelle horreur). |

| Yuletide round-ups |
[Dec. 28th, 2009|12:07 pm] |
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) comicstore_news has a round up of stories for comics fandoms here for the main collection and here for Yuletide Madness.
crossover_news has crossover fics listed here - we've listed fics from both collections that are tagged as crossovers and have both fandoms listed. We know that not all crossovers have been tagged as such, and not all fics have both fandoms listed for spoiler reasons, so if we've missed a crossover, let us know, and we'll add it to the list.
If you come across a story we've missed, either in comics fandom or a crossover, please let us know and we'll add them in. Anonymous commenting is enabled at both newsletters, so please feel free to link your own stories. |

First of all, here's massive, massive love for my gift fics, which are both Project Runway US RPF: - The Secret Diary of Tim Gunn: Season Six of Project Runway got you down? This is the perfect anodyne for it. We've got Tim snarking about the contestants, drunk-dialing some old friends, and putting coins in the "antiquated exclamatory slang terms jar". It's brilliant and it made my Christmas.
- And for Yuletide Madness, we have a variation on the theme: [Date Redacted] from the Secret Diary of Tim Gunn. Because one diary is not enough for Tim's awesomeness; this is a day in the life of Season Six, and I gotta say, he and Heidi deserved exactly the kind of spa day described here.
I'll continue to update my recs list here at AO3 over the next few weeks, but right now, you'll find recs for Fairy Tales, Robin McKinley - Sunshine, Dorothy L. Sayers - Lord Peter Wimsey, Inglourious Basterds, I Am Maru, Discworld, Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, and Lost in Translation. More to come! |

| Yuletide Recs #2 |
[Dec. 27th, 2009|05:37 pm] |
Allow me to rec one full-length story I missed, and only found through someone else's rec post:
Sorrows Bring Heaven (Anne of Green Gables) - This is a missing scene type deal for Anne's House of Dreams, after baby Joyce is born and dies. It's very powerful, and very real, and sadness giving way to hope, and it has one moment that I felt was actually missing from the book, but would spoil you if I told. Just go read it.
Yuletide Madness recs are:
1. The Long Wait (Vorkosigan Saga) - a small look in Duv Galeni's head while he's sitting in the cell in Memory. Short but good.
2. This Script Called for Liars; You Played The Lead (Honor Harrington series) - Some missing scene stuff with Scotty Tremaine and Harkness after Harkness' fake defection in In Enemy Hands. As I said in my comment to the story, it did a good job with the human element that Weber so often gives us tantalizing hints of, and then leaves to write a 300-page battle scene where thousands die.
3. Full of Yearning and Need (Anne of Green Gables) - A short look in Walter's head when it comes to Una. Very worth reading.
4. The Walled Garden (Heyer/Venetia) - A nicely romantic and sensual short featuring a married-with-children Venetia and Damerel, and their walled garden where privacy is very strictly enforced. Very nice and real.
And last but not least, a Madness gift fic for me, based on my Heyer prompt!
5. On The Road to London (Heyer/A Civil Contract) - A short look inside the Deveril coach as they head to London for the oldest daughter's season. So glad we don't live in the Regency and travel by coach. Nice and snappy.
