Rec yourself

[sophinisba]

And since I'm feeling a teensy bit embarrassed about my previous post, I'd like to invite all of you to pimp your own fics at me. If there's a short (stand-alone, less than, say, 5000 words) fic of yours that you like, that you think I'd like and that you think I haven't read, please comment with a link. Come on, don't be shy.

Edit: I might not read it right away, but I will eventually, and I'll get back to you, promise.

I don't write fanfic, but can I pimp my music at you instead? I have a couple songs that are fannish.

[sophinisba]

You can, but you have to follow the same rules, pick one and give me the link. *strict*

I recommend Valley (http://belovedporcupine.caligrean.com/Valley.mp3), which is my song about Firefly (you may have heard it, but if you haven't, I'm actually pretty proud of it).

[sophinisba]

That's a really beautiful song, and your singing voice is a lot different than I'd imagined. I guess I didn't really get to hear you at the singalong. Can you give me a link to the lyrics?

[gamerchick.livejournal.com]

That's probably because I didn't really *sing* at the singalong as I was too busy being pissed off. Oh well.

Lyrics are here (http://belovedporcupine.caligrean.com/valley.htm) and the rest of my site is here (http://belovedporcupine.caligrean.com) if you want to check out other music stuff I've done.

Hee, my Zekaseys can be counted on one hand ( and you may have read them all ) and I dont think you read Orlijahs *grins*

But I love you anyway ♥

[sophinisba]

Yeah, me and Orlando not so much. I actually went through a pretty strong Orlando phase after the movies came out and before I found fandom. My heart would go all pitterpat when I'd see him in posters and such. But he just doesn't do it for me in fic.

(((Layne)))

Alright, well, since you asked for it and I'm feeling self-indulgent.
Equanimity (http://geniusartist.livejournal.com/113877.html#cutid1) -- my first HP fic, Harry/Snape.

and

Pretty Babies (http://geniusartist.livejournal.com/109154.html#cutid1) -- my first Orlijah fic. Eh, but there's no angst in this.

If you read, hope you enjoy.
:D

Oh, man, and I still need to read the end of Journal Keeping too. It isn't that I quit, really, it's more that I'm moody about when I feel like reading certain kinds of things, but you know how it is, I should probably shut up about it anyway.

Okay. I'm pretty tired right now (and am really not an Orlando fan, sorry!), but I will give these a try very soon. Thanks for playing! Thanks for posting the new fics on LJ!

No, I know what you mean. (I'm being presumptious, of course, since I don't live in your head.) But that sort of flat out explains my Snarry obsession. Which appears to not be nearing its end anytime soon. When you finish JK, let me know what you think.

As far as the Orlijah, please don't feel obliged to read it. Especially if you don't like Orlando. It might be like having you teeth pulled.

[sophinisba]

I agree that he's pretty and all, just haven't been able to get interested in him as a character or even been all that hot for him since I saw the DVD extras. But I'm happy that he's inspiring you!

[geniusartist.livejournal.com]

Actually, Orlijah was my original OTP. And then came Domlijah and, well, the rest is history.
But I wrote the fic in answer to a challenge by aprilkat and it has since spawned a whole 'nother world in my already cluttered brain.

[sophinisba]

Oh, I know, I saw your beta request, and I would totally have volunteered if it weren't for the Orlando thing. I'm glad lisabellex is helping you out with it.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I'd love to read that but it's f-locked :-(

[geniusartist.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry about that. You probably meant the Orlijah, right? :)
Here's a link to a public post. (http://community.livejournal.com/fellow_shippers/3262456.html) Thanks!

Nice icon!

Ok, I'm pimping my one and only fic. You know I'm not a writer... Just a warning. *embarrassed*

It's RPS though. DM/EW

Don't be embarrassed! (But I understand! I'm embarrassed too! I'm embarrassed about just about every thing I've ever done in this fandom, for goodness sake!) Thank you for the link, sweetie!
