Happy Day of Rest!

[theantijoss]

I hope most of you get to do that today! I was so comfy in my nice, cool bed this morning that I reset my alarm to two hours later than usual so I could stay snuggled in. I gave some serious thought to curling up with my book all day, but I really need to get some writing done.

I haven't been doing that 30 Day TV Meme that's going around because... well, mostly because I'm just too lazy, but also because I can't always remember all of the television I've embibed in over the years. But I think I CAN say the all time favorite quote. I mean, there are dozens that I love from many different sources, but the one that sticks with me years later is from Babylon 5. (Who knew?) It's from my favorite character, Kosh, and it's had so many useful applications over the years! He says, "The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote."

Ooooooh. Anyway, that wins as my favorite quote simply by its sticking power.

Although they call the article "10 Hot Vampires Who Paved the Way for Edward SparklyPeen", I would call it "10 Vampires 10 Times Hotter than SparklyPeen."

Yum Yum. Some more than others, of course, but still.

I just finished watching Blood Ties. I can't BELIEVE it was left at that! Argh. I have to go read the books again soon to get the sad out of my mouth.

Hey, would you guys mind clicking on my funny sock puppet? I'm trying to make her Exalted, which... unless you play Unicreatures, means absolutely nothing to you. Just suffice it to say she'll get much cooler hair. When you get to the link, just feed, pet or play with her. Thanks! Actually, I'll throw in a few other of my creatures that need love and feeding, but Lady McP the 1st is my gal. If you're a sucker for punishment and want to get totally addicted to the whole thing, stop by my profile and have a look around.

Blood Ties FTW!

Uh, yeah, terrible place to leave us. Must apply fanfic!

[theantijoss]

Is there good fanfic out there? I don't even feel like I got to know the characters on the show well enough to write a story. Have you read the books, because they're a decent palliative to apply to the wounds.

BAD network suits. BAD. *licks Henry*

You know what's funny, I just started watching S1 of The Tudors, and Henry Fitzroy was JUST born. LOL

I don't personally know of any post-season BT fanfic, but here are my general recs: (I should post this in my journal; I've emailed them to people often enough.)

Whatever fantasies Vicki had about waking up in Henry's bed, none of them included waking up as Henry...

Close Enough to See by Ellex

Following "Heart of Fire". Mike/Henry UST and pre-slash. A bit of dom/sub. So good!

Close Enough to Touch by Ellex Adult

A week after Close Enough to See and Henry invites Mike up to his place. Finally the slash.

Coreen's herbal/arcane version of Viagra leaves Mike in desperate shape. Henry helps.

Contraindicated by SpikedLuv Adult

Five days after Side Effects, and Mike can't stop thinking about Henry. No really, he can't. In fact, neither of them can keep away from the other. This is not necessarily a good thing.

Another one written for me! And another story where Mike rescues Henry. *g* I feel so loved.


Also, I wrote quite a lot (for me) of BT fanfic. You can find it indexed on my profile.

P.S. I love your Starry Night icon.

And yes, I read the books. Loved them. May I invite you to join last_writes, a DW comm for small and/or discontinued vampire fandoms such as Blood Ties and Forever Knight?

Oops, never mind. I see you're already a member. *g*
