I've realised something
Namely: more of you northern slackers should be awake and updating when it's 10:55pm down here in the future, because traffic on my flist is so slow that I end up commenting to nearly every single post that appears. Whereas when I wake up, I have to flick through thirty-odd entries before breakfast, so I only comment when my reaction to something CANNOT BE SUPPRESSED.
Today I watched epic amounts of Death Note, with which I am in serious and overwhelming love. It's very intelligent! It's kind of like Dexter except EVEN MORE AMORAL (I know) and with JAPANESE DEATH GODS! And I was so certain that I had worn out my inner sixteen-year-old-anime-fan's slash goggles once and for all, but it's kind of epically gay as well. If my userpics weren't currently in that awkward stasis that occurs when your extra ones run out but you don't want to delete them because they're pretty even if essentially doing bugger all but take up server space...um, if that weren't the case, I would be uploading DN icons left right & centre.
My Yuletide-reading this year has been highly erratic; I think the sheer volume of fics has intimidated me. It feels rather like being the little sparrow which flies to the mountain every thousand years and ends up bashing its head futilely against the rocks while warbling WHY SO BIG, UNIVERSE? Most of the fics I like have been tagged at my del.icio.us, but I want to make some recs anyway, from the TINY TINY selection that I have so far read.
Blood Will Out is the Dexter fic which was written for ME, and it's a really fantastic look at Deb (YAY DEB) and her resentments and quirks and loves.
Twice Upon A Time is a Pushing Daises fic that reads a lot like my beloved film Stranger Than Fiction, except with added pie and even more crack. LOVE.
Resolution is an indulgently fix-y Wire in the Blood fic that is no less accurate and well-crafted for all that it makes my insides go warm and fuzzy. Well. Kind of. Tony & Carol aren't very fuzzy people.
