#102: Stay up until 2:10am attempting to read every Bernard/Manny Black Books slash fic on the internet.
There is more than I expected and much of it does not suck. It is lovely. I will rec or stick all the best of it in my LJ memories (I should turn all those into a rec page on my IJ* now I think about, though wow there's a chore) when I've got to the end; I think I must be about two-thirds of the way through all of it now, unless there's more hiding around the internet. This is the internet, so probably but the handy list of links I found suggests not.
Also, I cannot remember the last time I mainlined a pairing like this. Andy/Roger does not count because there was none when I first wanted it and then it came in bits and pieces over years. Harry/Draco is a slow, ongoing thing on a rec-by-rec basis. There isn't enough JD/Cox slash in existence for that to count. In fact I think the last time I had a pairing marathon like this was... either Squall/Zell, though that was limited to one long series and so does not really count either, or... wow. Clark/Lex a million and one years ago.
I have no idea why I'm doing this. Except they were discussing homoerotic subtext in the Black Books commentary and when even the actors are handing it to you on a silver platter, you just can't not can you?
* I need to make a decision about what gets posted on the IJ and what gets posted here now. I keep wondering where to post and coming here out of habit. Maybe I should keep this for personal stuff and IJ for fandom. Maybe I should post here on odd days and IJ on even, or on days that begin with S. Something. I want to start using IJ more. I have so much shiny icon space over there and I need to icon the beautiful outtake of Bernard and Manny all tangled together and trying to drink wine. Actually that one may get uploaded over here too because again, how can you not?

edit: *thoughtful* So just say I was thinking of what I should plan for my birthday this year (ssshh; it takes me so long to get anything organised that I have to start early) and I was idly contemplating Dylan Moran's stand up dates at the same time and thinking I've never seen live stand up comedy and I should experience it at some point - given all that, would I be able to talk![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hill2k/dukedee/kindoftrouble/all of you into being interested? And would Birmingham on October 5th (Sunday night) or Manchester on October 18th (Saturday night) be better? Tickets are surprisingly cheap, assuming that there're any left but they've only been on sale for like five days so I'm hopeful. Ticketmaster's 'routine maintenance' is not helpful.
So. Hm. Thoughts? And will I have gone off this idea before October or is Dylan Moran too awesome for that? And if y'all aren't interested, take into account that I will be turning twenty-three before any of you and the sheer horror of my own decrepitness demands a certain degree of sacrifice. ;-)
