Title: Light Up (sometimes a nox is as good as a lumos)
Author: marcicat
Rating: R
Author’s note: I started this story back in January, when I thought it would be my “January fic.” Now that it’s past mid-April, I’m desperate for it to be finished. Several thousand of the words were written in the […]

10,000 word mark: teaser

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

I’m still huffing and puffing my way towards the goal of finishing this story tonight. Now that I’ve hit the 10,000 word mark (my completely random and arbitrary goal for calling it done), it’s all about wrapping up the loose ends. Like, say, defeating Voldemort. Dammit! I knew I was leaving […]

Oh, the links I’ve neglected…

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Instead of writing, or working, or practicing, I’ve been reading fanfic all day (and last night).
sansets’ Leverage recs
Parker-centric story recs for 14 Valentines
scaramouche’s fic
Die Hard 4, Supernatural, even a Harry Potter!

Oh, Harry Potter fandom

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

How do you keep pulling me back in?
The H/D Holidays lj community is up (still anonymous as of today, authors and artists will be revealed on January 16th. For some reason I find most HP stories to be depressing overall, but still enjoy reading them — I don’t get it, but there it is.

Here, have some crossovers.

1. Legal Alien, by esama
Really, all you need to know is that the pairing is Harry Potter/clone!Jack. That was enough right there to get me to read it. I mean, seriously? Also, Teddy is adorable — he always wears a hat! Why? Because he keeps changing his hair color! […]

Fic Rec-’o-The-Day (HP/Merlin xover)

Friday, August 28th, 2009

There’s something about the Harry Potter fandom, isn’t there? No matter how many times I leave, I just keep coming back. I thought this fic was a hoot — silly, and yet oddly sweet as well.

Summary: Merlin and Arthur go to Hogwarts!
Halfway into the […]

Hot. Hazy. Humid. Have some fics.

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

The heat has me feeling all wilty. And lazy — more lazy than usual? Hard to say. Here’s some fics where the weather is also very hot.
Merlin: Summer Country, by seperis
“Can’t you do anything about this?” Arthur says finally, running a hand through sweat-slicked hair.

Harry Potter firsts

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

The other day I wrote about Harry Potter being my first crazy fandom, as well as a lot of other firsts. And that got me thinking.
Things I read first in Harry Potter:

(Okay, wow, the list I just deleted was way more embarrassing than I thought it would be… I’m now horribly, horribly, […]

Fandom Ponderings

Monday, July 6th, 2009

My Wiseguy shout-out yesterday got me thinking — what other fandoms do I love whose source material I completely ignore? Which was a fun thing to think about while I was bored at work today, and gave me something to scribble industriously on little bits of paper, hopefully giving the impression that I was, […]

Old Skool Rec: Harry Potter

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

It’s from 2007, which I guess is maybe old in internet years? I’ve been thinking about Harry Potter and its (crazy) fandom, thanks to the new movie previews everywhere. HP was my first crazy fandom, and the first fandom that I read vast amounts of fic in. Good fic, bad fic, and […]
