Slightly random, but hey! I'm a slightly random kind of a girl....

I do actually think that the majority of horrendous reading for uni is behind me, for a little while. At least, I don't think there are any more novels for Gothic in the upcoming weeks. Plenty of photocopies and research for Caroline Drama (that's right nerdcakes, Rachael has 'Caroline' lectures and seminars. In your FACE! :p ), and oh yes, The Metamorphoses by Ovid. But I have reading week for that. And there's the fact that I've only read 160 pages of the Mysteries of Udolpho, out of 600 - but we can all do me a favour and pretend that's not true, and yes. A much less stressful rest-of-term. Aside from essays. But yes.



Rachael has no money. Rachael bought Sun Tzu's The Art of War and Eddie Izzard's 'Circle' and the new Empire magazine anyway. Rachael perhaps not the smartest cookie in the box. Eddie Izzard really awfully funny though. 'Drink this wine, it's a merlot?'. Why are all his shows filmed in New York? ::puzzled::

Also I semi-intend to get inspiration for Anton/Zavulon bunnies from 'The Art of War'. Therefore it's practically a public service. People are writing really good fic for Night Watch. Fic with plot. And dialogue. And things that happen. The bar is raised, people. But ee. I have a fandom. People are writing in the fandom. People that aren't me. Me and My Fandom. It is small but it is good. Yes :)

That said; something I've never done before.

Recs

I recognise that most of you have not seen Night Watch. But you should still go read The Only Question by slippery_fish - vampire/vampire-hunter friendship angst - and Merciless by cupiscent, who also made my nifty/beautiful icon. You probably won't understand it without the film, but it is 'guh'. And 'omg'.

ETA: Also there is Shadows and Twilight by narrauko - hope you don't mind me reccing this, narrauko? It is Anton being screwed up and generally crazy in his way, with a bit of slash thrown in for good measure. Yay :)

Also, am loving Issue Fifty: The Super Crossover Extravangza, and all the series before it. Because I don't know who the Sark guy is, but Seth Cohen still deserves hot gay British assassin sex. Yes he does.


And slippery_fish is apparently getting an at least somewhat Anton/Zavulon-ish fic betad, and I just know it will go up tonight, or tomorrow, and I won't get to it until Sunday or Monday or something, because my parents are coming down tomorrow. And possibly bringing Jack. But mostly bringing themselves and my airer and my CDs and money so that I won't have to pay for things, and god yes. But I don't intend to stop off and check my e-mail.

It would be nice if I had the internet at home (damn you, Wanadoo!). But in another way, it's quite nice not having it. From a writing perspective. When I have the internet on my computer I tend to look for other people's fic more than writing my own, and feel like I should be uploading it at the end of every draft. Without, I get to have quiet time wherein I can just write and it's nothing to do with the internet or fandom, in a way. Hmm. Most fanficcers obviously do not feel like this. Perhaps I have issues. But either way, it is nice.
