why the heeeeeat, sydney

My list of books read so far in the month of November:

- E.M. Forster, Howards End
- Diana Wynne Jones, Howl's Moving Castle
- Tony Kushner, Angels in America
- Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, Good Omens

I may as well put a big sign on my head saying FAHYE IS SICK AND INSOMNIAC. That's like. All of my comfort books devoured in less than two weeks. (Except Larklight, which is in Canberra.)

Now all I have to do is watch Amelie & Strictly Ballroom and I will have completely run out of things-which-cheer-me-up. Maybe I will watch Hairspray tonight. For the millionth time.

Seriously, this sucks. I have had to invent a new tag for my delicious account: pie.fic

It needs more entries. Which fics do you reread over and over again when you need to be cheered up?

Benevolent Sibling, duh!

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Aww, I'm glad :)

........is it permissible to give you alcohol yet?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to risk it :( My list of things-to-avoid is now: chocolate, alcohol, coffee, anything with fat, anything with dairy.

I WOULD MURDER SOMEONE FOR THE ABILITY TO DRINK COFFEE OR WINE.

[-leareth.livejournal.com]

All right, anything /not/ on that list that I could possibly offer on the weekend?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Nukume Dori? *grins* (kidding, I know how busy you are)

I'll see you on Sunday for yum cha! and if I am still not better by then I will be FURIOUS AT THE UNIVERSE and you may have to talk me down from said fury.

YOU AND LIKE MOST OF TB/X FANDOM CAN KEEP WISHING XDXD

......time/place again? Was it 11:00am Manly Wharf?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Beth's going to meet me just on the wharf (I'm catching a ferry that gets in at 11).

I've read Healing Station Argh (http://toft-froggy.livejournal.com/376385.html), like, five billion times; also My Home and Native Land. (http://community.livejournal.com/i_defeated_sga/11675.html#cutid1) Outside of Stargate, I go on doyle_sb4 whofic binges fairly often, and I'm a big fan of a cup of hot chocolate and the Yuletide Quicksearch List -- the Buried Treasure Racket (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/30/theburied.html) (the Sting), Noir Enough (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/23/noirenough.html) (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), Those Who Stand For Nothing (http://yuletidetreasure.org/archive/31/thosewho.html) (Alexander Hamilton/Thomas Jefferson).

It goes without saying that eyai fic have been a staple of this for some time now ... :)

(BECAUSE, YES, OKAY, IT IS CHEERING TO READ ABOUT BIZARRE ROBOTS STARTING WARS. SUE ME.)

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Omg OT4 fic! String Theory is already a pie.fic and this one is definitely becoming one also.

[nextian.livejournal.com]

ALSO, now that I have thought seriously about this for some time, I also put forth rageprufrock's body of work? She just wrote Merlin fic, (http://www.glitterati.talkoncorners.net/log/2008/11/10/merlin-fic-three-castles-12/) and her SG:A fic is spectacular.

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Ohhh yes. Bell Curve was the first fic I thought of when I was putting together pie.fic -- but I didn't know she is writing Merlin. YAY.

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

Hahaha Fahye, we are on the same list as ALEXANDER HAMILTON!

HP

her stuff: http://noiresensus.com/authors/a_libertine.html
especially 'the snitch sequence', but not the arc actually titled 'the snitch'. that one one can skip.
it is pre-book 4, long and hilarious, and has the best lucius malfoy ever.

theeeeeeeeesss one. (http://community.livejournal.com/ooopretty/35479.html)

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

I ... don't!

*cries.*

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

huh, how did I miss this post?

I read this (http://kabeyk.livejournal.com/40911.html) ('Perfect', by kabeyk, Sirius/James) over and over again when I need cheering up. It doesn't cheer me up, but I read it compulsively anyway. Possibly that counts as wallowing.

Shoebox is usually a better idea, but it's down.

If I need something to make me giggle and feel better about the world, I read this (http://xxlucyferxx.livejournal.com/10857.html). Regularly. ('Why Narnia Is Not Ruled By Republicans', xxlucyferxx)

Or things by Celandine (http://community.livejournal.com/cels_fic_haven/tag/narnia+fic+caspian/edmund).
