Huh

My latest Clex fic has had barely any feedback. I wonder what I did wrong...

1. The Odyssey - Homer
2. Smallville: The Comics - Misc
3. The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray - Chris Wooding
4. Lex Luthor: Man of Steel - Brian Azzarello & Lee Bremejo
5. The Ultimates: Super-Human - Mark Millar
6. The Ultimates: Homeland Security - Mark Millar
7. Supreme Power - J. Michael Straczynski, Jeff Youngquist, Gary Frank
8. Cursed - Med Odom
9. The Big Over Easy - Jasper Fforde
10. Fantastic Four: Imaginauts - Mark Waid
11. Ultimate Spider-Man - Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Bagley & Bill Jemas
12. Mr Midshipman Hornblower - CS Forester
13. Fantastic Four: Unthinkable - Mark Waid
14. Ultimate Spider-Man vol 2 - Brian Michael Bendis
15. Astonishing X-Men: Gifted - Joss Whedon
16. The Ultimates: Gods & Monsters - Mark Millar
17. Great Vampire Stories - Misc
18. My Take - Gary Barlow
19. Astonishing X-Men: Dangerous - Joss Whedon
20. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - J.K. Rowling
21. Lieutenant Hornblower - C.S. Forester
22. Fantastic Four: Authoritative Action - Mark Waid
23. We Need To Talk About Kevin - Lionel Shriver
24. Hornblower and the Hotspur - C.S. Forester
25. Mouse Guard: Fall 1152 - David Peterson
26. I Am Legend - Richard Matheson
27. Ultimate Spider-Man vol 3 - Brian Michael Bendis
28. Ultimate Spider-Man vol 4 - Brian Michael Bendis
29. Vampirates: Demons of the Ocean - Justin Somper
30. The Ultimates: Grand Theft America - Mark Millar
31. Liquor - Poppy Z. Brite
32. Prime - Poppy Z. Brite

I have to say that whilst I loved Prime, I didn't enjoy it quite as much as Liquor, mostly because it got a bit silly towards the end. I'm still going to get a copy of Soul Kitchen though so I can read the next book in the series. LOL.

So, that's my list for the year. A LOT of comics on there. I blame Greg and Dave. Hehe!

Best book was definitely We Need To Talk About Kevin, just because it packed such a powerful punch. I don't think I've ever read a book that's given me nightmares before and I certainly haven't read a book that made me leave the room because there was something on TV that reminded me of it.

I have no idea what's next as my 'to read' pile is at home. I'll be back there tonight though. I have a feeling it's one of several Nelson biographies that I bought while I was in Portsmouth last year.

Question for fic writers

How many of you post your stories on fanfiction.net? I stopped going there when they banned NC-17 stories but since none of the fics I write ARE NC-17 I'm wondering if I should start posting my stuff there again. Any thoughts?

Laptops

If you have a laptop what model is it and would you recommend it to others.

I'm hoping to be in a position where I can buy one in 3 or 4 months if I can get one for a reasonable price

Edit: I quite like the look of this one. I would say £500 is probably my price limit

Every writer's dream

Harry Potter fanfic author publishes first novel

ZOMG!

NES Bible Adventures

I'm not sure if this is as scary as the Bible!Slash jacqui_hw was telling me about yesterday though

My day

It's been a supremely boring day at work today. I spent the morning finishing off an online training course I started yesterday and that has been pretty much it. There's been a couple of little jobs I've been able to do work-wise but other than that I've been mostly reading

I finished off a series called Lost that I started reading a few days ago, only to discover that it was a wip. Grar! I hate it when that happens. Must e mail the author and demand ask if there is more. I'm finding I'm rather enjoying fics where Bruce Wayne is involved in helping Clark and Lex. I wonder if there's any plans to introduce him into Smallville. Because that would be awesome. I need to find some decent Batman/Superman (in a non slashy way) comic books to read.

So, in the need for more things to read I went back to lanning after I got to Clark and Lex's first kiss when I was in Corsham. She didn't disappoint. There was lots of hot sex and it was perfect. I love my boys. Still got lots to read in that series so that's good.

I also managed to get a Clex vignette typed up that I wrote while I was away.

So that's why I've been posting links to random/interesting things. Greg has been passing them to me to stop me going insane. LOL

20 mins to go...

Pfft! As if further proof were needed

Nabbed this from goth_clark who kindly capped this weeks Smallville ep so I have even less reason to watch it. LOL

( Spoiler(ish) pic for Hydro )

Meme

This weeks fannish5

Name five totally self-indulgent story ideas. (The fanfic you would write if you didn't care if you had an audience and also had no shame.)

To be honest I actually have no shame when it comes to fic anyway. I gave Jack Sparrow breasts once! LOL.

Uh, so here are some bunnies that are in my head at the moment. They're not especially self-indulgent though.

1. Clark kills Lana, sweeps Lex of his feet etc etc.
2. Norrington hangs Elizabeth for being a pirate
3. Claire dumps Charlie in favour of Desmond
4. Willow renounces her gayness and runs off with Xander
5. Aragorn leaves Arwen for Legolas

Dude, I suck. LOL

Speaking of sucking, Lois and Clark is on TV. Duuuude. It sucks! Suckity suck suck.

Song

What's the song that plays in the prelude to this weeks Supernatual ep?

SPN

Dude, I keep wanting to type Smallville instead of Supernatural. One track mind much

( SPN 2.10 )

Desperate Housewives

Somehow I managed to miss the last episode of Desperate Housewives to air before Christmas

( DH 3.10 and 3.11 )

Oh dear

kittygoth and ceci2176 talked me into it. I just added Sweet November to my DVD rental list. I have a bad feeling about this...

Yet more spam

Hero by Enrique Iglesias was always a Spuffy song for me, but now they've used it on Smallville and all I can think of is Clark when I hear it.

*sigh*
