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..

Sounds like being sick has some advantages...

The vidding tourney sounded interesting although I don't think I'd ever enter one.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yeah... reading is a good advantage. Though I think I'd rather be bouncing around like I usually do. :)

And tourney was indeed interesting. Tough because you don't know what vid you will be up against until they announce which one your opponent has put in. It's more vid v vid rather than vidder re vidder.

There were some amazing vidders in there. It opened my eyes to more styles of vidding and other fandoms.

Wooooo!!!

You're admitting that there's other fandoms besides Supernatural?

Never thought I'd see the day. :)

And if you want to see a bizarre fandom check out my latest vid. Almost nobody has heard of this one but it was such a fun vid to do...

[ash48.livejournal.com]

HA! Now don't be cheeky! I have even vidded other fandoms! Well... one. :D

Though, I can't vid fandoms I'm not emotionally connected to. Which is actually, quite a lot.

Where as you! ... Man.. you do indeed dig up the most bizarre ones...

:)

It's just how my brain works. 50% of my vids are Doctor Who. That's evident. But others, well either the theme will give me an idea or I'll think of a show and wonder what I could match it with.

And after I got over the fact that people want content over technical ability I really don't have a problem with vids tanking. Because they were really, really fun to make.

Very few people remember The Bugaloos...
