Straight? So is spaghetti until you heat it up.

Does anyone know if it's possible to change one's journal name over on dreamwidth? I want to import all my stuff from this journal before the LJ shit hits the virtual fan but my account over there is under luciology. Will that cause a problem? Do I have to set up a new account under moonlite_tryst?

I admit that I wasn't particularly feeling the Hiddleston love, even after The Avengers. Having just sat through nearly 7 hours of the BBC's Henry 4th and 5th (The Hollow Crown) I am feeling it now. *swoons*

Looky here if you have not heard of the series: http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/henry-v

Now I know where the title of amanuensis1's fic 'A Little Touch of Harry in the Night' comes from.

I want to delete a little comm I set up 4 years ago and have never used. Dammed of I can see where to do it on the site map.

Point me please.

Thanks sesheta_66.

Anyone read any of the Nightrunner books? Are they good re plot, world building, characterisation, or is it just hype?

ETA: Thanks for your help. Forgot to say I wanted something for my Kindle whilst on holiday. I'm going to buy Ginn Hale's Lord of the White Hell books for my hols.

We all have phrases that make us cringe: tongues duelling for dominance, weeping cocks, sweet spot etc.

Consider the pleasure/pain. It certainly makes me cringe because I see it as a cop out for description of sensation (IMO before anyone flames). Does it exist? Is it the moment that pain is overtaken by pleasure when the wonder gland, aka the prostate, is hit?

Thinky thoughts or enlightenments please.

I've been spring cleaning my LJ and sorting my fics out and realised I've never posted this here. So, have at it my lovelies.

( Draco’s Inferno )

Hello Kittens.

I was talking to ayes_sid about orginal m/m fics and I realised I'd never recc'd Shousetsu Bang*Bang to you.

Shousetsu Bang*Bang is a webzine for original gay fiction/boy's love oneshot stories (or works of art) self-contained in 30 pages and heartwarmingly predictable, i.e. there may be angst, betrayal, H/C but love always triumphs to some degree. Each edition has a prompt or theme so a wide range of genres are covered. There are also special femslash editions during each year.

You can friend bb_shousetsu for issues of the magazine, which usually appear on a bimonthly basis. You can also join the comm for announcements and behind-the-scenes (editorial, design, writing, etc.) discussion, especially if you plan to submit a story. Stories are archived at s2b2, which I find easier to follow or delve into.

I have a trove a fave fics in my memories under S2B2 but I'll start by reccing a series I'm very fond of:

Author: Shinko Hisada, Genre: fantasy, Rating: PG13 to NC17, Pairing: Jaren/Kale.

Summary: A series of 11 fics charting the development of the love affair between Lieutenant Jaren Delwash, an 'Elite' warrior mage and Kale Coulter, the nobody soldier with the rare ability to see magic who saves his life behind enemy lines.

You can find the fics listed in order of events here.

Warning: there is use of 'the Elite' as well as Jaren's name, but I liked the series enough so I could ignore it.


As for Game of Thrones: WOW!! The chap who plays Khal Drogo has a body to die for. If Damen (Captive Prince) has a body like that, how does Laurent keep his hands off him?? Much furtive oggling and wanking methinks.

That's discuss people, not flame!

As an author who has been a bugger for starting to post chaptered fics and not finishing them this may seem a strange post, but here goes.

Whilst spring cleaning my LJ, I clicked on a link for one of the greatest H/D WiPs ever written IMO. Although labelled as catagorically not abandoned, it has not been updated for almost three and a half years *cries* and who knows if it ever will because the author is now writing in another fandom *cries some more*, which leads me to wonder:

If a WiP has been abandoned for a period of time, e.g. over 2 years or more, and the author was close to the end, should said author post a synopsis regarding how things were going to end for the reader's benefit?

Does an author have any obligation to readers who have followed/are following a WiP, or does the label WiP translate into read at your peril?

Thinky thoughts authors, readers?

No matter who you ship, I'm certain you'll all love this poignant tale of love across centuries drawn and told by tongari over on s2b2.

Go and read 25 Lives by Tongari

Absolutely stunning!

Remember folks, this is my idiosyncrasy, YMMV (thanks geoviki for introducing me to that acronym). I'm not using this as a bench mark for quality of fic writing.

*cries* I was reading this original slash fic about a widower with a young son who was developing a relationship with the new doctor in town and really enjoying it until... that word appeared. *cries some more*

No matter how much I'm into a fic, nothing turns me off it quicker than a bolt of lightning than that word.

Babe.

*shudders* I don't know why I can't bear it, but the moment 'babe' is spoken the fic is ruined for me. I can bear 'silver/emerald orbs' 'globes' 'duelling tongues' 'pearly strings of come' - even though for most men it's less than a teaspoon - fundament and all manner of language but babe. I just... can't.

What word or phrase does it for you?
