I wasn't going to whine...

[ash48]

but now I'm just feeling too sorry for myself. *mopes*

I'm sick of being sick. I thought I was over this cold on Wednesday so went back to school and then wham! Full on! Stupid nose.. :(

Aaaannnnyway.

The upside of being sick is getting to read stuff. Long stuff. So a couple of recs..



Let Not the Sun Go Down by lexicale Jared/Jensen, AU, bottom!Jared. (mostly PG13...)

Why: This is one of those fics that I really shouldn't have liked. Nothing to do with the writing of course, everything to do with the content. I started it out of curiosity and then I was completely swept into the detailed world the author created. I didn't expect werecats (or rather, ailuranthropes) to be something that would interest me... but wow. The world and characters are so rich I couldn't help but fall in love with it.

This story deals with grief and identity. But essentially it is a romance that ended up giving me a greater understanding for a kink that's never really done a lot for me. (Don't want to say what it is because I went into this story unspoiled and I think it's a great way to read it).

The Idle Job by kelleigh Jared/Jensen, AU, NC17

Why: Woot! This is such a fabulous read. I love adventure with my (hot sex) and romance. Jensen is TO DIE FOR! Honestly... Ranger!Jensen and Doc!Jared are perfect. *draws hearts* Aside from the wonderful pace, great action and mystery I loved it for the honest sex scenes. I like that who tops/bottoms isn't straight forward. And yay! Switch! (why are they so rare?!)

I am constantly blown away by amazing authors who can create worlds you just want to get lost in. The BB's are all looking so awesome. So many I want to read. I hope some get made into podfics.

Podfic/Story rec:

Relax, it's Just sex by alwayseven read by thalialunacy. Jared/Jensen, NC17 (like whoa!)

Why: HOT HOT HOT. Did I mentions... *guh*... OMG! Sizzling..?! It's bottom!Jared (yeah, I know... no surprise for me...) but wow. *fans self* It's more that just porn, but porn makes up a HUGE amount of it. It's got plot though and great characters. Love it when Chad doesn't play a complete douche bag. (I know nothing about CMM. I take it there are reason he's always written as an idiot?)

The quality of the recording is great and the reading, though a little fast at times, is wonderful. I love that I can catch up on past BB's through the fabulous medium of podficcing.



I also caught a couple of movies this week. (I know. Should have been in bed, but sitting in the cinema is just as restful... and less boring.)

LOVED Source Code and really liked X-Men. Debating whether to see Super 8 next?

Also... I keep seeing Game of Thrones mentioned on my flist. Yes? No? Should I be checking this out? (I am being needy tonight aren't I?? /o\)

Oh. And I came to an end in the vidding Tourney, (as I suspected I would). But I was pleased to get where I did and the fact that so many awesome vidders bowed out at the same time makes me not feel so bad.

*smish*... luckily a virtual one..

Whining is a justified prerogative of the sick. **hugs** Who has been spreading the nasty lurgy all over my flist I wonder?

I am enjoying Game of Thrones, actually I am enthralled with the opening credits as much as the show! It's nasty, gorey and not for the faint hearted and more than once I've been on the edge of turning it off and had to convince myself - "it's just make believe" - because, yes, there are some pretty harrowing scenes in there and I'm ok with them hacking humans to shreds, but I get a bit squeamish over dumb animals... But that's just me all over isn't it?

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Game of thrones is getting a big thumbs up - so I will have to check it out for sure. It sounds like something I might like.

And thanks sweetie. Thank god for aloe tissues that's all I can say.
