Shut Up, and Let Me See Your Jazz Hands

"That Wasn't the Plan!" Should Probably Be a Tag By Now

2010-05-11T00:59:25Z

So those awesome rec lists I was totally going to have done by now? Shoved aside in favor of Untitled Small Fandoms List, Take #79. It's totally a cop-out theme, I know! But so much of my fannish consumption these days is haphazard and slightly accidental. Like, I have subscribed to many new people, and I keep checking Latest Things for "three weeks for dreamwidth" and "recs", and I have this thing? See the shiny, follow the shiny? So there is a lot of "Oh, you're in that fandom? I was in that fandom! Oooh, let me bask in the glow of fannish nostalgia while simultaneously discovering new awesome in the form of these many fics you have linked here!" going on.

That's how I ended up doing Send Me an Angel (both versions)! That's to blame for the latest iteration of "but Kirk's stupid faaaaaace, you guys!" and also for the fact that I have spent two days reading Sheldon/Penny fic, and the day before that was all Vampire Diaries, all the time (I've never even seen that show! But I read one of the books, once?).

In other news, I desperately want a Generation Kill/Highlander crossover with Immortal!Brad, or maybe Immortal!Nate, mostly I just want Brad's "what is this bullshit?" reaction re: the Game. Also, you totally should have rolled into battle with a sword, Brad; see, sometimes Ray is right about things!

"What It Feels Like for a Girl" and "Intersections" are now officially complete (I typed out the warnings and everything!). But I still have to wait until MONDAY to post, thumbs DOWN.

I...actually have no idea where I'm at with "Quantum Shenanigans (Schroedinger's Timeline Remix)" and "Loved Those of Great Ambition"; there are a lot of applicable stories I've recced before that I'm just not recognising from the titles, which means I'm going to have to fuck around with it somehow.

The character & pairing lists are kicking my ass, not because of inherent difficulty, but because it's super-dumb to try and do a Character X list at the same time as a Character X/Character Y list. So, poll?

View Poll: It's Time For Radio Buttons

Plus, "Monster Baby (Love Is Crazy Remix)" is sounding really good to me right now, and small-fandoms-list-take-15 would at least be easy.

I'm getting down to longer poems now, but I can't decide which to do next. Pick for me!

It's almost November! And I think we all know what that means: minilist challenge, aka, me trying to work a dozen themes at once. And also, trying to get you guys to make my decisions for me:

*points at icon* Yes, that is my favorite quote of the whole thing. I am still a little torn re: a Generation Kill-only list, but not because I can't come up with 50 fics. They would just be 50 fics by like, six people, which I have generally tried to avoid in my lists. After the sixth fic, don't you just go to the author's index anyway? But polls are great for indecision.

View Poll: Mmmm, Generation Kill

Also, Brad Colbert is a stone-cold badass. Middle of an ambush, at night, and he's singing to himself as he kills people. I kind of love him a lot, and possibly want to read about him being a serial killer. I'm not saying he's actualfax psycho like Trombley; I like serial killer fic and that would be a very easy sell, is all.

Nate kind of makes me want to cry. Every time he has to deal with his superior officers, you can just see his ideals dying and it hurts my heart.

This show, guys, this show.

Please?

Quick poll on tagging here. I'm torn. On the one hand, it would make me feel less guilty about only updating the fandom masterlist once or twice a year (because it is a GIANT pain in the ass). On the other, this would be kind of a pain in the ass. But only while doing the back entries. Going forward, it'd be only a minor inconvenience. Hmmm.

New List! Plus, Poll

Go Boldly, 50 more Star Trek: Reboot fics. Again, mostly gen and Kirk/Spock, but also several Kirk/McCoy and Kirk/Spock/Uhura, as well as one lone little Chekov/Sulu.
