Went to [livejournal.com profile] volsi's birthday party. Met some cool people. Had a GREAT time. And the only thing that makes it better is that I get to watch Doctor Who now, and none of my roommates are going to be awake to ask me why I'll be clutching a pillow to death.

Also, [livejournal.com profile] cesperanza's latest post on why DH is awesome is so adorable I can't stand it.

That is really awesome! Thanks for the link. David Hewlett is the best.

You are clearly under no obligation to read any of this, and I usually don't push my fic on people, but in case you want to . . .

SGA Restaurant AU (http://www.linaerys.com/fic/sga.php)--A restaurant in New York, Rodney is the chef, John is the bartender, there is sex. Starts a little unfocused, but I'm especially proud of "Balancing Act."

Entanglement (http://www.linaerys.com/fic/sga/entanglement.php)--for the [livejournal.com profile] reel_sga challenge, Rodney/John translated into Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious.

All my heroes fic is in my LJ sidebar, but Your Young Men Shall See Visions (http://linaerys.livejournal.com/480530.html), You'll No Longer Burn (http://linaerys.livejournal.com/512921.html) and Fear of Flying (http://linaerys.livejournal.com/488115.html) are fan favorites.

Some other awesome Peter/Nathan fic (that is shorter than any of mine): Some Things Never Change (http://community.livejournal.com/heroes_flashfic/5036.html) by [livejournal.com profile] just_katarin, When He Sings (http://mandysbitch.livejournal.com/269981.html) by [livejournal.com profile] mandysbitch and the story that turned me from ew! BroYay! to yay was A Newtonian Co-dependence (http://scribblinlenore.livejournal.com/338051.html) by the fabulous [livejournal.com profile] scribblinlenore.

Ah, sorry it's taken me so long to reply, I wanted to read all of them first, and I've had precious little fanfic time this week. (Boo.)

I've actually read both your SGA fics before- loved both of them, the first because I'm an AU whore- "Heat Wave" was particularly gorgeous. Your Notorious fic made me incredibly happpy as I adore Cary Grant. And Hitchcock. And the two of them together.

I just finished going through your Heroes fic, and I really liked them. The backstory in "Some Things Never Change" was great. I guess I'd hadn't thought much before about the rather large age difference between them (do we have any canon info on that?), but I liked the way you took the worshipful-younger-brother dynamic and developed it. Also, I'm taking a class right now at NYU, and you totally nailed all the details on that front. I'm assuming you went there? (Murray's Bagels = AWESOME)

I really loved the way the other two stories were set in these remote/exotic places, but they felt totally grounded in details so it wasn't like, say, Peter and Nathan in a Canadian Shack, yayz!

I'm going to start making my way through your other recs, though I have read the one by [livejournal.com profile] scribblinlenore because I can't NOT read her stuff. :)

Anyway, this is an incredibly long comment, so I'll just say thanks for pushing your fic on me.

Sorry it took me so long to respond to this!

We find out about half way through the season that Peter is 26. Nathan has to be at least 38 to do everything he's done, and Adrian Pasdar, who plays him, is 41 so it seems to make sense to make Nathan 12 years older than Peter.

I'm glad I got the NYU stuff right. I consulted a current NYU student friend, and I know the area and have lived in NYC for 7 years now. I went to Cornell University, though.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this stuff!

Kay, so Gmail's a butt.

Pretty boys and other things. (http://jainanicole.livejournal.com/592508.html)

I'm a bad person and still need to catch up with Dr Who. BUT I have a Insta!Rec for you! It's called Fix by Crysothemis (http://crys.mrks.org/sga/fic/fix-john-cyo.html#21). Don't worry, it's not SPN or anything ;)

Ooh! I know! Is it good? It's under my 'unread' tag on my del.icio.us account. Stupid lack of free time.

Speaking of free time, I, um, somehow, in a fit of insanity, offered to update the McKay/Sheppard manifesto for [livejournal.com profile] ship_manifesto to reflect seasons 2 and 3. WHY??

It is really good! The style of it reminds me of speranza's Scrabble, except the 2 POVs aren't side by side. The actual story is really interesting. The plot is a cliche, but there's enough detail and thought put into it that it doesn't feel cliche. It's possible that I was reading too much into it, but I thought it might have been trying to say something about fandom/porn/getting off without direct human vs. sex with other people. You'll have to read it and tell me what you think.

Umm...way to go on that. Do you have a deadline that you have to have the updated manifesto in by? How is the S1 manifesto btw? I haven't looked at it in a while.

Also, Tuesday I'm going to a midnight screening of the HP movie. Are you?

I'm getting to it! Eventually. Ah.

And I have until September 5th. That's do-able, right? (Oh no. WHAT HAVE I DONE????)

I am going on Tuesday. I'm trying to get someone to come with me still, but I am going. It won't be the same with y'all, though.

WATCH DOCTOR WHO.
