Hiatus continues. But I have recs.

[hackthis_archive]

1. It is my hope to write something -- ANYTHING -- one day soon for scribblinlenore. I know that's mighty vague, but trust me, I need to be that vague if I'm going to produce anything that's not me shrieking DAMNIT!

2. Should the apocalypse come this weekend, I am hackthis on Greatest Journal and Insane Journal, but not JournalFen. Whomever that is, it's not me.

3. romanticalgirl wrote lovely Neville & Luna, The Age of Not Believing. I LOVE Neville & Luna. If I wrote het, I would write them nonstop.

4. sparky77 has finally started listening to me about what she needs to watch. First I got her hooked on Burn Notice and lately she's been all about the Psych action. She's so about the Psych action that in my comments she wrote a wee Heroes/Psych x-over 5 Confessions Carlton Lassiter Never Got (in no particular order). You wish you had a sparky77.

5. Heroes people I have been keeping well away from fandom because if I get spoiled *again* lives will be lost, and yet I came across What It Is and What It Is Not, which is a Nathan/Peter story (NC-17) by mandysbitch and MY GOD. In the summer hiatus I tend to forget about the things that make me love Heroes (except for Adrian Pasdar, because one does not forget Adrian Pasdar) but this, this story just blew me away. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Really.

6. Where are my people who are watching Mad Men at? COME. ON. It's got people canonically in the closet, a serial adulterer, real women who look like real women and Conner from Angel. Where's the fic? Where're the fans? Help me out here.

7. So, I'm watching Starter for 10 the other day, because I want to have James McAvoy's babies and in the middle of me thinking EEEE! I suddenly pause and shriek Dakin! I heart Dakin. He and James and are very slashy in Starter for 10. Just saying. Also, I read this tremendous The History Boys story from the yuletide archive... which uh, suddenly isn't in the archive. Strange that.

8. Can anybody hook me up with the Guillemots (I have who Left the Lights Off) and/or Stephen Fretwell by any chance? I'm in the exploring stages with these two artists, and things seem to be at that precarious stage where I'm either in love or going to write them off. Dunno just yet.

I just watched The History Boys this weekend and have some comments on it on my LJ--but also minor Walk The Line spoilers in the same post. I was wondering why there weren't any stories in yuletide. That is very weird.

Dakin is too sexy to be believed. Thanks for the Starter for 10 rec.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I'm not really sure what happened there, it's rather odd. It's as though the whole fandom just vanished. I'd read the story a few months ago and was thrilled and then was making recs today and remembered it. I don't know where it's gone, but Dakin is just yes.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I think perhaps we were looking the wrong place, the stories aren't under 'The History Boys', but under 'Alan Bennett - The History Boys'. I know. chicklet_girl found the story I was talking about, Somewhere One Day (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/27/somewhereone.html)

[linaerys.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It is excellent.

And I don't know why it was filed that way, but I'm glad someone found it.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I suspect at the time the category was created it was being listed as a play, not that I've seen plays listed -- well, that's not true. Maybe. I dunno!

[lazulus]

Give me a few mins and I'll upload the Guillemots for you. I really like them, they have a joy to their music that appeals to me. I also saw them play live 18 months or so ago and they were so utterly charming that I immediately went looking for their recorded material - of which there was almost none at that point!

[lazulus]

Here you go, lovely: Guillemots - Through the Window Pane

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

AWESOMECAKES! *slobbers on lazlet accordingly.*

"What it is and what it is not" is brilliant. I love it to bits.

And sparky77's ficlet might have convinced me to watch "Psych."

If you've been keeping away from Heroes fandom, you may have missed these. I know you're all about the visual stimulation, so (hope they're not too big):

YES! YES! I saw these the other day, but couldn't give them their proper due because I was busy, but fucking hell, they are quite the business aren't they? *sighs longingly* I am hoping to do something with these (http://perezhilton.com/?p=3569) actually, but shhh, it's a sekrit.

ZOMG Yay!

but fucking hell, they are quite the business aren't they? *sighs longingly*

Random shoulder rubs For The Win. :D And I love how Milo's perched up there, like a little kid. They are just too cute for words.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Oh pookie, I have not yet begun to crack! Crack as is the writing of cracked out fic, not cracking physically or mentally because the first would be really messy and the second I did a long time ago.

That probably didn't make any sense. I think maybe I should try sleeping.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You are adorable. I am possible, potentially going to be writing some Petrellis for these images (http://perezhilton.com/?p=3569). Possibly. I have to figure out what the story will be. I think there might even be *looks furtive* pron.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

I am possible, potentially going to be writing some Petrellis for these images.

Yay! Yay! and also a whole lot of Yay!

I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be my reation, but those pictures just make me kind of laugh in an "!h Milo, you are so adorable when you try to be sexy and bad ass. Now go find Adrian so you two can find new and creative ways to touch each other in entirely inappropiate ways on set."

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

I texteded you!!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You did? I was at a meeting, hold the phone.

I am watching Mad Men! It's fascinating, if also uncomfortable given the social attitudes of the time. I actually wondered how many audience members picked up on the one gay ad exec, or if my slash experience made me hyper-sensitive. He seemed really *obvious* to me.

I'm reccing Heroes on crack_van this month, which has made me look back at stories I've loved, and yeah. It's good to be reminded. Did you watch the repeat on Monday? So early in the season! I was kind of amazed at how much had changed by the end.

I can't imagine how anyone could miss it, but this is us, and we think everyone is gay anyway. Except he really *is*. I feel so bad that he has to try and suppress himself so hard, when it's clear that he's just not into women at all. His attempts at butch hetero behaviour are hillarious, but also very cringe worthy. Also, Don is an asshole, I wish I didn't find him so compelling.

Heroes is repeating? I don't watch network TV, except during the season, so I didn't know this. What episode did they show?

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

It was the episode where Jessica and Nathan get it on in Vegas. And Isaac confronts Simone about double-timing with Peter. And Hiro and Ando get ejected from the casino and then accosted by the gamblers they fleeced. Good times!

7. OMG, why is everyone in love with hamster boy? Why? Dakin looks like an overgrown hamster.

Now, I sort of want to read that story. Even though the movie is a bit scattered and it is obvious that it was a play first.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yes, but it's Dakin. I have no stronger argument than that. And chicklet_girl found the story for me, I was looking in the wrong place. Somewhere One Day (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/27/somewhereone.html)

[chicklet-girl.livejournal.com]

Also, I read this tremendous The History Boys story from the yuletide archive... which uh, suddenly isn't in the archive. Strange that.

Wait, are you talking about Somewhere, One Day? Because that's still there, and the full list by fandom seems to have the same three History Boys stories it always did. Unless I'm going mental, which is a definite possibility.

Also, Dakin is going to be in the film adaptation of Mamma Mia! -- I'm kind of dying to see him sing "Lay All Your Love on Me" to Amanda "Lilly Kane" Seyfried. Side note: COLIN FIRTH AND MERYL STREEP SINGING "S.O.S.": THE BEST THING EVER Y/N?

Where are my people who are watching Mad Men at? COME. ON.

I want to, I really really want to, but my cable company (a bunch of fuckers, obvs) switched AMC to the digital tier (which I don't have and can't justify paying for) so I have to obtain the episodes illegally and haven't had time to track them down yet. But soon!

[chicklet-girl.livejournal.com]

Oops, my bad. Change the side note to: PIERCE BROSNAN AND MERYL STREEP SINGING "S.O.S": THE BEST THING EVER Y/N?

Additional side note: SWEDISH ACTOR STELLAN SKARSGAARD IN ABBA MUSICAL - DELIGHTFULLY CHEESY Y/N?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

AH HA! And that's why I couldn't bloody well find it. I kept looking for The History Boys, never did I think to look under 'Alan Bennett,' so.

[svilleficrecs.livejournal.com]

Mad Men for the motherfucking win! I am loving this show more and more each week and OMG I knew I knew that actor from somewhere! Sadly, I have no Mad Men fic, but if anyone could give me some in character Don Draper slash, I'd be SO THERE. Something about how thoroughly straight that guy is (or at least comes across) makes me want to put a dick in his mouth.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I was catching up last night and realized that Pete/Dick HAS to exist somewhere in the world. It HAS to. Dick finds him so irritating and Pete tries so hard to impress him or be an asshole (like Dick, heh) or just get a pat on the head. It HAS to happen.

[kattiya.livejournal.com]

Ok, was backtracking and had to laugh: just did this whole looong lusting after James McAvoy post freaking yesterday (instigated by Keira Knightley's "James is the best kisser ever"), and yes LOVE.

But if we're talking History Boys and whatnot, uh hello Bright Young Things?? Cause James McAvoy, Stephen Campbell Moore, etc. (You can google - I linked to but must be off).

Though wanting to have the same person's babies? This is odd, even for us. ;p
