I'm spamming y'all like crazy lately, aren't I?

[lirazel]

FINE!

Gakked from everybody ever:

Comment and I'll tell you my favourite fic of yours that I've read, and why. If it's a longfic, I'll try to pinpoint favourite chapter (but no guarantees!). Or, in the event that I haven't read anything of yours, I'll comment back and ask for one thing of yours I absolutely must read.

I've sort of been putting this off because if I haven't read anything of yours I'll be embarrassed. So seriously: rec me! I love you all!

Also! Links!

First read this about how filmmakers are taught not to make films where women talk to each other. Then read the follow-up here about why and also about why it sucks to have curly hair. Think of it as foreshadowing for the time when I'll finally make my epic post (complete with a picspam of me!) about my lifelong...relationship with my hair.

BAM. What? DO IT.

(I'll admit to being curious as to how much of my stuff you've read. If you're like me, probably only more recent stuff. I've read so much by Deird and Stormwreath and Beer Good and Rebcake and on and on, but only really from the point where I started reading them and then kept on reading their new stories.)

YES, MA'AM!

I think I've read pretty much everything? Maybe?

This is so incredibly hard, because you write Buffy and Spike just exactly how I want them to be. Like, every time. Also, your dialogue makes me green with envy. GREEN WITH ENVY.

But. I think I'm gonna have to be predictable and go with TYSK. Because it's the comics except better. And it's taking Buffy to a place she's never been and breaking my heart over her all over again but she's still my hero. And because Spike gets to be his own man but he's also Buffy's man. And because I care so much about Lara. And because there's Spike and Connor running around together. And because you throw in these little moments--with Xander or Faith or whoever--that are just so very perfect that I want to keep reading them forever, even if I don't usually care about that character. And because you write kick-ass action scenes (GREEN WITH ENVY). And you did interesting things with the Immortal. And who knows where it'll end? I mean, I sort of do, but you keep changing your mind! It's constantly evolving! Like life!

I love it.

And I have to break the rule and also give a shout-out to "Of All That Is Sweet and Warm" because daddy!Spike and adorable!Charlie and mama!Buffy! And it was for my birthday!

[eta] I do tend to do that, too, though. But I think I spent an afternoon/evening reading through most of your fic one time....So you're special!

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Aaaaaaaah, you're so good for me too! Haha, seriously. You always make me want to write everything ever. Please note you got me to write Spuffy skating fic without even asking me too!

GREEN WITH ENVY is how I feel about your prose and parentheticals, TRUTH.


[eta] I do tend to do that, too, though. But I think I spent an afternoon/evening reading through most of your fic one time....So you're special!

And hey, I've done the same with your fics! Though I need to go venturing into the other non-Buffy fandoms a bit more. And I've left off reading a few Buffyverse fics, oddly, because it's like I'm saving them for when I need them like an emergency chocolate supply. STRANGE.

(I always think of this icon as my talking-to-Lauren icon 'cause 1) this being how your relationship is with your sister, 2) your Buffy and Dawn love and 3) 'cause this is how I'd be hugging you in RL. haha!)

I used the POWER OF MY MIND!

But seriously: I'm still thrilled to death about that. YAY!

Ooh! I'd love to know what you think about non-Buffy fandoms!

Also! Just out of curiosity (because I'm ridiculously curious), which Buffy ones have you not read? Because I feel like some of them aren't all that good, so I want to tell you not to get your expectations that high....

'cause 1) this being how your relationship is with your sister, 2) your Buffy and Dawn love and 3) 'cause this is how I'd be hugging you in RL. haha Um, YES. I think of it as my icon for those reasons, too! WIN!

Hmm... *checks* I haven't read Infinitas Infinitio Infinitus, Also Ran, Even the Demons Tremble, and a few other small ones. Aren't all good? Pshaw. You're worried about disappointing me? Silly!

Oh, and I was thinking about your O'Connor revelation and had this idea that she was somehow recruited to be part of a new Watcher's Council RUN BY WOMEN and she's writing a paper on Spike and goes to shadow him for a few weeks and write a paper on him. HAHA. I clearly like your idea way too much.

It's YOUR ICON. I should rename it Lauren. :P

ETA: Oh, maybe the new Council sends O'Connor during Season 5 when Andrew reveals that Spike is back. So it could somehow end in a reunion. She could advise him on how to find his own purpose in life!

Jeez. I can hardly believe you are listing me with those guys. Do I really seem that prolific? I feel like a piker compared to you. Of course, that's partly because I haven't posted anything novel length...
