Aug. 7th, 2006 10:26 pmLeaving for Cardiff at 8am. -_- Impressed I am not. Probably means I should stuff some PJs and a toothbrush in a bag sometime tonight too but eh. Later.
In the meantime I have a request kind of stolen from
svilleficrecs while I was journal-hopping earlier. I realised a few days ago that despite all attempts, I've yet to drag myself kicking and screaming out of my writing rut of the last... ten, eleven months shutup and that's not been helped at all by the fact I've barely been reading other fic. Time was I'd go through anything, Smallville, wrestling, Zelda and -- aside from my all-to-brief overkill on Ten/Rose a few weeks ago -- I've barely been reading anything. Which is whole magnitudes of terrible, so, to all the writers on my flist and writers passing through and that second distant cousin you vaguely think might've written fic once:
rec me the one story of yours that you think I should read. Regardless of whether you know I've read it, reviewed it, ripped it to pieces or whether it's in a fandom you don't think I'll have even heard of. Which of your fics should I be thinking of whenever I see your username? (I'll even open myself up to football, since I don't know who any of them are anyway and it'll effectively equate to reading original fic. This is an exercise in reminding myself what good fic should be.)
In addition to that, please rec me your very favourite fic. That one thing you always go back to and re-read when you're depressed or need inspiration or just because you love it so damn much, because it's pretty or it's well written or because it just pushes all your buttons in the right ways. If you have more than one, rec them all.
Slash, het, gen, any fandom, rating, pairing, squick, length... anything at all. I'm getting dusty in my secluded little corner of the internet. It's well past time I remembered there's a lot more out there.
Now, pack. Watch Laputa: Castle in the Sky. Do something useful. Hhmm, decisions.
edit: Actually I have to go to bed since I have to be up in six hours anyway. *mourns* At least I can sleep in the car. Purchance my next post shall be from Cardiff; breaketh not yon internet in the meantime and recceth me muchly.
I can't wait for that Shakespeare course. ^_^
