Quick question

Does anyone use my delicious to look for fics I've recced in the past? I always forget to update it and I'm wondering if I should bother. I don't use it myself, it was mostly because someone suggested I do it

Any thoughts?

And are the tags on it good enough or should there be more specific ones?

Request a post

My next post after this one is a big number. As a celebration what would you like to see me post about because I got no ideas. LOL!

Milestone

15,000TH ENTRY

Yes, that is somewhat embarassing. I've been on LJ for coming up to nine years now but I'm pretty sure that people who joined around the same time as me haven't posted that much.

What can I say? I like to talk. A lot apparently. LOL!

So, redeem147 asked me to comment on my first ever LJ post so here it is

WOO HOO!
Now I've got one of these its occured to me that I really don't have anything to say. Oh well, hello to anyone who's reading this. I promise to talk about something exciting as soon as it happens. Wow, it's nothing like a journal to make you realise just how dull your life is *sigh*

Ahaha! Oh, the irony. Nothing to say *snerk*

I did this post not long after I graduated university and I was working as a temp and living with my parents so it's no wonder I didn't have much to talk about.

Thankfully my situation has improved rather a lot since then.

Of course back then there really wasn't much of a fandom presence on LJ at all. Most people were still using fanfic.net as this was way before The Purge.

So there we go.

flickums asked me to post about how LJ has changed my life.

It's twofold really. First of all it's given me a creative outlet. Back when I was first on LJ I was only just getting into writing fanfic but being around other fandom people has given me the confidence to try new things. My first ever slash fic was for a challenge for someone on here, and I discovered RPS thanks to someone on here linking me to stuff. Oh, and lets not forget the mpreg I co-wrote with lexalicious70

And then on top of that I love that LJ has enabled me to meet such an amazingly diverse group of people, both on here and in person. I'm really proud that my flist covers pretty much everything. I've got people on here with age ranges from teenagers through to people the same age as my parents, I've got people on here who are straight, bi, gay and trans and I've got people on here from every continent bar Antartica.

That's really amazing when you think about it.

So, while I am grateful to LJ for existing I am even more grateful to all of you for keeping it a fun and interesting experience

*hugs*

Life Is What Happens To You While You're Waiting For It To Start by sasskitten
It wasn’t your typical boy meets girl story; like it was supposed to be. It was more like, boy meets girl, gets screwed over by girl, gets drunk and accidentally stumbles into a gay bar and ends up pretending, to everyone, to be married to the bar tender.
This is warm and sweet and lovely

If You Care To Stay by hkath
Jensen's got a thing for his roommate... he just doesn't know which roommate.
Who'd have thought an AU where Jensen sells cheese would be cute, but it is. Insanely cute actually. I was smiling the whole way through it

Adventures in Puppysitting by _mournthewicked
Jensen knows how to have fun. That isn’t a crime. But when all that fun gets him into a sticky situation, he knows it’s about time to grow up. It shouldn’t be too hard. All he has to do is find Nemo.
I love how the most random of kids movies can get made into a totally adorable fic. This is just lovely

Big Damn Anti-Hero by arlad
Jensen is a dirty-mouthed undercover podcaster by night and a shy friendless loner by day. Jared is the quirky cool kid who discovers his secret.
I keep telling myself that I'm not going to read any more J2 high school AUs and invariably I wind up finding one that's really good. What I love about this one is that even though it's an AU the boys are very much as I see them. Jared is loud and friendly, and Jensen is reserved except when he's hiding behind his broadcasting persona.

Sweet Dreams Remain by dark_reaction
Jensen is a bartender who has the shit luck of falling for a married man, or the cocktail waitress who ended Jared and Sandy's fabulous marriage.
This is just plain hot with a side order of sweet

The Billionaire's Bidding by raina_at
When idle, slacking billionaire’s son Jensen Ackles lends a helping hand to his old childhood friend, he gets a lot more than he’s bargained for.
Oh, it's been ages since I read a nice long J2 AU. Loved this.


Dean/Castiel
Mortal Angel by cloudyjenn
Dean ended up choosing the hot librarian as his new roommate.
I don't often read Dean/Cas AUs but this one is just lovely, and also hot.

The Dead Dean Clause by vichan
Sam drinks himself insane, Dean is drunk and belligerent, and Castiel learns how to lie. But it's still happy. Really.
This is such a cute little fic. I just wanted to take it home and cuddle it. LOL!

Oh, LOL!

Now, I'm sure you all know that I am not a wincester, but this cracked me the hell up.

It has to be deliberate, right?

Beta request

Is anyone free to beta my Renegade Angels fic? It's about 5000 words in length. Ideally someone who has seen S5 because there's a character in it whose voice I'm not sure I've got 100% right

I'm editing at the moment but it'll be ready to send by Wednesday at the latest and it's not due until the first week of March

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Sorted! Thank you!

*snicker*

You know every time I watch Lost now I wait for a magic turtle to turn up. And I saw this video back when Season 3 was on. LOL.
