Arr, mateys! Tis talk like a pirate day!

Seein' as how there aren't points for accuracy, you just have to pretend that I'm sayin' this in a gravelly, salt-wind roughened voice. With many an "arr!" thrown in as punctuation. Arr! See? That t'werent so hard, were it?

Friday night was all about the sleepin' - apparently being a pseudo-aunt is near as exhausting as givin' birth to a little scrap of a sailor yerself. I sat down on me couch for jist a minute on Friday evening at 8 bells on the dogs watch (that tis 8 pm for you landlubbers) and the next thing I knew it were near the end of the graveyard watch. So I read for a bit and then turned in again. Arr!

And today has already been a rough day at sea, for I've got some sorta bad fic karma. Um, ARR! No matter which fandom I tried I was finding everything with my anti-kinks. Clark and Lex calling each other "my love" *sob* . Please. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF SWMBO! If I don't want somebody calling me something, I definitely don't want to read other people calling them that! (Watch, Kovsky will now proceed to call me 'my love' just to piss me off. Thank god her computer won't be fixed til Monday so she might not see this). And then I try HP and it's all poor, abused Draco and dude. I like my Draco SNARKY and bitchy. I like my Lex snarky. I like the SNARK! *sobs* So I am at a total loss for what to read next, I can't find anything. But I am strong! I will survive. Lost premiers this upcoming week! Smallville does! I must figure out which to watch and which to download! *flails*

Anyway, today's plan is to bake brownies and then take brownies over as offerings to the family. Hey, I bribe because I love. I'm trying hard to find that balance between seeing the baby as much as I want and not becomine crazy neighbor/best friend. But really, if they INSIST on having the cutest baby in the world, they have to expect people. Hee! But I've actually been quite good. Anyway, I already had me disaster for the day - getting eggs out of the fridge and...oops. Egg broken on the floor. But I have cleaned it up and the browies are in the oven and brownies make egg disasters worth it!

Better than hardtack and weevils, argh! (Because I totally slacked on pirate talk during this)

You've read Tissue of Silver? Nicely snarky Draco (and Snape)? And if you don't mind BDSM I linked to Kitty Fisher's Lex/Clarke series recently. Oh, *and* I recently reread TheTe's 'Freud' which is *the* Smallville fiction I *so* want to see made into an episode (in fact it's one I can almost *see* in my head, which is quite unusual for me, especially as I've seen very little Smallville.)

Oh, and Argh! Yo hoho! etc etc.

Ohh, I'll check out the Lex/Clark series. And I ADORE Tissue of Silver, it's what started me on the whole H/D fic - damn those circe and violetsmiles who rec'ed it so strongly it broke down my fandom barrier!!

I can't for the life of me think what it was which got me into HP fandom, but I know I saw recs all over the place for ToS but at the time she was rewriting/editting it, so it's only in the last 6 months that I've read it. I'm eagerly awaiting the Snape/Bill story too, I love the snark in her characters.

Snape/Bill!!!! I did not know. Ohh, now I squee. SQUEE!! See, I'm super new and don't even have the HP fandom friended - and only like two people from the Smallville fandom soooo...I have everything sorta filtered through people. I mean, I have obsessed people, but they're people who have become obssessed fairly recently, not people that have been in the fandom forever and have WRITTEN all the long, plotty sorta things I love.

Snark forever!

Ah! If you've read ToS have you read the sequels? When Harry and Draco start dating, and then later at Hermione's engagement party? The party is the set up for the Snape/Bill.

I tend to friend based on fics, either through other LJ people, or through sites which also link to LJs. I wander round and suddenly go '[livejournal.com profile] zortified! OMG you're JamesWalkswithwind! Friend friend friend *right now*' only in non-Buffy fandoms! (due South for some reason is the fandom I most go 'OMG I read your fic ages ago no-one told me you had a LJ with more fic on it!') Basically I'm just a crazed slash slut!

If you want *links* I updated my page today. There are no recs or anything so you have to take the good with the bad, but there's a sh*tload of links!

Wee! I did read the sequel and the engagement and hee, I am thrilled if it's that world Snape/Bill, that's sooo awesome.

See, and I am at that point where my flist is at capacity and yet I don't wanna defriend anybody so I am just...avoiding looking around too much in order to prevent my mind from exploding. ALthough hee, I've done that - friended somebody because I liked their posts and then made the connection to fics I liked ages later.

Wee! I'll totally check out your links page! Even as I tremble in fear for good with the bad *snicker* Thanks!
