I just bought Backstreet Boys tickets! I'm feeling slightly giddy. 8th row! I'm gonna see AJ! *giggles* And the rest of the guys. Yay! :D The concert's the weekend after Bumbershoot, which is slightly worrisome as I may be totally wrung out on live music at that point. On the other hand, it's a guarantee that there will be nothing remotely BSB-like at B'shoot, so hopefully that will help.

And tomorrow morning is the presale for Moby tickets! Super-exciting, and his show only costs $15! Insane! He's playing at the worst venue - I don't understand why he'd play there at all. But it's small, that's the only good thing about it. And it's Moby so who the fuck cares? I'd go see him anywhere.

Good lord, I'm a bit schizophrenic in my musical taste! Nothing new there.

Last night as I was laying in bed I had the best plot bunny - in fact, it was this whole awesome fic that basically wrote itself in my head - JC/Lance D/s and it just worked. It wasn't even explicit, it was more... eh, I can't explain it. And when I woke up this morning - you guessed it, it was gone. I mean, I remember it, but I haven't been able to recapture it.

This is why I have been known to get up in the middle of the night and stumble down to the computer and write down what's in my head or jump out of the shower soaking wet and in a towel and run to the laptop. It's why I always have a notebook on me when I'm out and about. It was just stupid of me not to get up and write down the fic while it was in my head. I blame the ridiculous comfort of freshly washed flannel sheets for keeping me in the bed. Hopefully I've learned my lesson and won't be so weak again.

Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

( Desmond felt a wave of giddy excitement fill him )

I read a really great fic last night. It's the writer's first Lost fic and it is just excellent. See the World by hollycomb. It's Keamy/Gault, NC-17. I don't know if there's anyone on my flist who would even read that pairing, but you should, because what she does with it is fascinating. Her Gault POV is flawless, as is her Keamy characterization, and you'll find yourself totally drawn in to the strange, dysfunctional world of the freighter. The fic is part 1 of 3, but she promises the next part soon.

If you read, remember to leave a comment. Writers - especially new writers to a fandom - need care and feeding!

Dedication: For halfdutch, who requested this, oh… about 5 months ago, when I offered Xmas ficlets. Finished it now, because I think she could use a bit of cheering up, and porn is always cheering.
A/N: This is a sequel to The Chase, though I think it can stand on its own as a PWP.

( It’s been three years, but Dean would know him anywhere )

Omg, I almost missed bachlava's birthday! That would have sucked.

Happy Birthday, hon! I hope your day was as fantabulous as you are! *MWAH*

A/N: I got two chapters done, so I’m posting them both today.

Part 1

( Desmond hadn’t intended to take the captain up on his offer )

I've been reading some excellent Sam/Dean fic lately, but a few of the fics really stood out and I just can't not rec them, they're so amazing.

All are NC-17 Wincest. Cuz, basically, that's all I read in that fandom. What can I say, my tastes are simple and straightforward. ;)

( Recs )

A very Happy Birthday to phaballa! I hope your day is full of all kinds of wonderful, fantastic, incredible birthdayish things!! *MWAH*

A/N: I’ve wanted to write a historical AU, a pirate one specifically, for a long time, though I hadn’t really planned on this pairing. But it would seem that this is the pairing that chose to be sufficiently piratical, for some reason. Of course, Sayid had to be my captain. ;)

There are certain aspects of the history of the corsairs of the Barbary Coast that I have altered or omitted to suit the story and I know little about nautical matters, so please forgive any errors in that regard. This is a romanticized version of the period and I make no pretense to realism or historical accuracy here.

All ten chapters of this fic are written and betaed, so those of you who know of the trouble I've had completing series in the past need not fear being left hanging with this one. I’ll be posting a chapter every few days, as I get them edited.

( The Barbary Coast, early 1700’s )

My rough draft comes in at 45,770 words. \o/

And I finished it! Yays!!

Happy Birthday, hendercats!

I hope your day is as wonderful as you are and full of all good things, including presents and cake with lots of frosting and Desmond in nothing but a big, blue bow! ;)

I know I said I was done with ep reviews, but I can't resist...

( Someone, somewhere would probably consider this a spoiler )

Happy Beltane, Walpurgis Night, May Day and/or International Workers' Day, depending on your inclination! I wish you all joy in your celebrations, be they pagan or labor oriented!

And a very, very Happy Birthday to my dear queenbtch! I hope your day is truly wonderful, for you deserve only the best!

My fic is stalled. It's the dreaded Des/Sayid whammy. I was doing fine and then... nothing. They'd been being all hot and lusty and now they're being shy and reticent and having second thoughts, which in the context of this particular fic, is just ridiculous. Anyway, they are refusing to get down and DO IT, which is driving me nuts because I am *this* close to being done. *sobs* I really want to be done. I can't seem to convince them to stop circling each other warily and just fuck. I'm getting impatient and I think I'm just gonna smoosh them together and make them and let the cards fall where they may.

I have given up on trying to come up with a fic idea for the popslash Dragons, Dwarves & Dolphins Challenge, but I signed up for a date for It's Gonna Be May because x-overs are allowed and I'm gonna use that challenge to force myself to finish my NYSNC/SPN x-over and thusly cross another finished WIP off my list. And I'm kind of excited about that. Plus, the prospect of attempting to write Dean/JC fills me with gleeful delight.

I'll be missing both SPN and Lost tomorrow, but I'll catch up later. Though I think I'm not gonna do ep reviews anymore, which will be kind of weird since I've done them since I started out in the fandom, but yeah. It's probably long past time I gave that up.

Re: the Thanksgiving trip to the Yucatan. I think the group has settled on the condos. I hope it's all settled anyway. They're the cheapest option, so that's cool. It'll leave more $ for Mr. Z & I to spend on our trip to Chichen Itza.

The Happiest Birthday Ever to my dear and lovely betrothed, themoononastick!!! I love you with the power of 1000 suns, hon, & I hope you have the best birthday ever! Mr. Z sends his birthday wishes too and says he wishes we were there celebrating with you or you here with us! :)

*sends you virtual cake and champagne*

(I have not forgotten your requested fic, it's just delayed for a little while.)
