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 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?

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!
