allyndraI'll warn you now, this post will spring lightly from topic to topic with no regard for segues.
I moved into my apartment. Yay for not sleeping on my friend's futon anymore!!! Boo for having no tv or computer yet!!! I did get a library card, though, so I've managed to get some computer time that *isn't* a total abuse of company policy. The library here is awesome. I really like the construction, and they have several books on polymer clay (one interest of mine) and a decent graphic novels collection (yet another interest). Other than the library and work, I haven't been getting out of the apartment much. It's a great apartment, but it's so empty. I moved out with only what would fit in a Honda Civic, so you can imagine how little that fills up a two bedroom apartment.
I hate the fact that I have to justify my fanfic addiction to people. My husband got really annoyed when it became clear my interest in it was more than just academic. Especially when I'm upset, I read a ton of fanfic as an escape, and he thinks I should be talking to him about what's wrong instead. (Those who developed the theories about men not talking about their feelings never met Michael. Yes, Deborah Tannen, I'm talking to you.) I've carefully hidden my fanfic from my parents and siblings, as the homophobia runs deep there, and I'm all about the slash. Fanfic combines a form of entertainment, a hobby, and a forum for meeting and interacting with people - it's a part of my life that I enjoy, and I resent the fact that I have to hide it or be subjected to disgusted lectures. My friends aren't disgusted by it, but they don't get it, either. They joke about the fact that I write "gay Buffy porn" in a tone that makes it clear they find it laughable. I have to defend myself, which irritates the hell out of me. So I end up not telling anyone about it. Which sucks when I want to babble about a story I just read or the bounce about fact that I have two stories nominated for awards right now. I just have to talk to you guys, instead!

astolat and I saw that she had Vince/Eric Entourage fic. Yum!! I devoured her three stories and ransacked the web for more, only to find absurdly few fics out there. *pouts* I want more!!! If anyone out there feels inspired to write Vince/Eric, I'll read it. I'll beta it on library computers. I'll bribe you, whatever you want. ...um...That didn't sound desperate or anything, did it?
Okay, that's all for right now. Thanks for being a sounding board for a bored, bored woman.

This is Jensen/Jared (of Supernatural). It's nothing at all like romantic schmoop. This is something I especially like to read when I've read too many stories seem to forget that the guys being slashed are men, not women. It's got them being all rough and a little mean and not-uber-girly. And style-wise, I really like the writing too.
And... ack! I cannot find my link! There's a nice little Michael Rosenbaum/Tom Welling (of Smallville) RPS AU, where Tom is the actor that plays Clark Kent, but Michael does *not* play Lex Luthor, and is instead a snarky little barista at the Starbucks that Tom goes to. Where is it? I'll keep looking, and hopefully pass that one along too.

Date: 2007-05-02 01:00 am (UTC)You are a bad, bad woman. I would shout it from the rooftops, but I'm a little busy reading this RPS right now. The J/J story was good. Harsh at times, but really good. The Tom Welling/Michael Rosenbaum one rocks! I went and tracked it down from your description (nice description, btw). If you still need the link, it's You Keep Me High (http://toomuchplor.livejournal.com/tag/you+keep+me+high) by
This doesn't mean I've forgiven you, though.

Date: 2007-05-02 08:49 am (UTC)Aw, surely you can forgive me? It's not as though I've sucked you into the world of boyband slash, which is probably my most shameful fandom. What's a little AU!crack!fic between friends?
Speaking of which... there's this strangely compelling place called http://community.livejournal.com/cracktrailer/ which is... well, pretty much what it sounds like. RPS AU where all the people are chock-full of white trash goodness.
On a related note, there's the Bakery!verse RPS AU... which is a bunch of stories set in the world of the bakery of a grocery store. Because... well, it's explained before the first story. This is really just complete crack!fic, but what can I say? It's a weakness...
Now with link!

Date: 2007-05-15 02:05 am (UTC)I refuse to read boyband slash on the principle that I don't even listen to their music. It seems wrong to enjoy writers manipulating the lives of guys whose albums I don't even buy, you know? Seriously, don't tempt me. I'm not ready to start enjoying something I'm so determined to stay away from.
Re: Now with link!
Date: 2007-05-15 04:06 am (UTC)I have no problem respecting that boundary, and won't push any on you. Sometimes I can't believe I'm reading it, but damn, the things I'll do for well written fic with good porn, ya know? I'd stop myself from reading it, but I admitted long ago that I just apparently have no shame when it comes to fic. But I won't even recommend the Buffyverse AU world where Xander, Angel, Spike, and... someone? Lindsey?... are in a boyband.
Hee, I'm so glad you liked the bakeryverse stuff! I remember when I first found it :) Crackfic has a special place in my heart that can't be explained.
