Sunday morning ramblings...

I just discovered this comment by jaybee65 from this thread in her LJ, which I had saved in a word file. Which makes me come to the conclusion that I must've really wanted to chat about it, and therefore had it saved, and then promptly forgot all about it. And since I still want to chat about it, I'll just post it here. Ignore it, if you wish. *g*

( Slash, sex, women, and stuff like that )

Does the above even make any sense? Ah, nevermind.

Sunday night ramblings

Oy! LFNers? Won't someone please go over to ship_manifesto and sign up for writing a Michael/Nikita essay? And a Paul/Madeline one? (Madeline/Nikita, George/Adrian, Michael/Jurgen, etc would be nice too, but I suppose that would be too much to ask for) Please? You'll enjoy it! Do this for your fandom! *tempts*

Speaking of ship_manifesto, this is one cool comm. I've been reading many of the essays, and I have to say that they've helped me get started with pairings I've always been interested in, but didn't know where to get started. Now I'm waiting for the Harry/Hermione essay on Oct 14th – here's hoping this will contain *some* good recs. *crosses fingers* I've already been disappointed by the Snape/Hermione essay, which, despite being an excellent essay by itself (she nails the reasons that could bring them together), recs only the most popular fics in the ship. And knowing this ship, well... (will try some of the recs, though)

Hmm. I wonder if they have a Remus/Hermione essay coming up as well? *g*

Some other interesting essays were:

( I hope you have some time in your hands )

Hmm. With so many interesting girls in BtVS/AtS, there should a lot of good femmeslash around, right? *ponders*

I also read the John/Aeryn essay, because some of you talk about it so much – not so much impressed by the essay itself, but the pairing sounds great. *g*

I have also decided that I really, really like Faith as a character, and am going to read a lot of Faith fics in the future.
