I'm about to head out to a birthday party for my niece (yall feel free to text me and keep me entertained while I'm there *g* The kids are going swimming and I don't want any part of that; I'm just gonna hang out in the party room with my notebook & my cell phone, I think).

Earlier this week, I betad something that really just blew me away with its awesomeness. It was finally posted today, so I figured I'd rec it, because it seriously needs to be read no matter which fandom you're in, along with a few other recs from this week.

Southland Tales (The More Things Change) by

phaballa
This is a kinda-sequel to

phaballa's Chicagoland fic, which is an awesome, amazing J2 au that I know I've recced before. It's one of my favorite things. (Jared and Jensen plus kids!! C'mon!) I haven't read this yet but I know it's going to be awesome, so I went ahead and included it in this post, lol.

Okay, my car is warmed up and Davey's tapping his foot, so I gotta go. Love yall bunches!! <3

One of the comms on my flist is

crack_van and I get some awesome multifandom recs from them. One of them I read today & I found it to be amazing and so I'm gonna rec it to yall!

A Taste of Something by

rawumber
Criminal Minds fic, Reid/Morgan, R
Part I
Part II

Author Summary: Post Jones fic that deals with changes in Reid and Morgan’s relationship.

I have to say, this was funny and in character and everything I could as for in a Reid/Morgan fic. Not just those two either, Garcia & JJ are perfect in it as well, seriously. At one point Reid says “JJ put us in the same room because she wants us to have sex so I have to tell Garcia who will blog about it,” and I was trying to find a snippet to post but it's all so awesome I can't decide so just read it.

Yall know the pics I posted of Roaring Run? (um... there's some Here and some better waterfall ones here) Somewhere I have some awesome pics from when I was a kid, with snow on the path and icicles hanging from the rock faces and stuff. I really wanna share them but I'm afraid they're in storage along with the rest of my life. Boo.

And stolen from

lilian_cho (to distract me from typing up fic):

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list.

Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you for your interest in my words.

Why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself? It can be any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I'll remember you.

For every random thing you share about yourself, I'll reply with a random thing about me.

Post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear.

May is here. Finally. Fun things for May:

Umpteen more tball and soccer games
Avalanche games (yeah, apparently I'm bad luck b/c I didn't go last night & they won 11 to nothing. They scored 7 runs in one inning. WTF, guys?)
Safari Carnival @ Ronnie's school
Fishing Rodeo
Beth's Wedding
Harley's Awards Ceremony
Birthdays, including:

phaballa, my nieces Trysen & Tonya, my uncle Mike, my sister Bessie, my brother RT, 5 of my cousins
RENO!

I'm working on a post for fanfic tunes for May. In the meantime, how about a roundup of what I did fandomy April?

What I wrote:

Jared's Ark
J2, 550 words
Summary: Um, Jared wants a bunny.
A/N: My alli_everyday asked me to write her J2 bunny fic one day, and at the time I had an idea for it that wasn't complete crack, but I lost it. So, I wrote this instead.

Doofus
Wincest, Adult, 1400 words
Summary: Sometimes Dean has to remind Sam there's no reason to be jealous.
A/N: Written for wendy in response to this post. Myself and my betas all fail at titles. Obviously. This was saved as "doofus" in my fic files and apparently that's how it will forever been known. But it actually isn't half bad!

What I recced:

But Lately I See Her Ribbons and Her Bows by

notthequiettype
Sam/Dean. Adult.
Dean wakes up as a girl in north Las Vegas. 8,800 words.
I can't remember the last time I laughed so fucking hard. Seriously. Plus there is really hot porn in it.

My Five Favorite Fics that I've Written
posted from a meme. HP, SPN, QaF, Criminal Minds

Six Months On by

irisgirl12000
Criminal Minds, Reid-centric, 400ish words, spoilers for The Big Game & Revelations
I was supposed to write Reid & molecular biology for

swedish15 and couldn't, so Iris loves me enough that she wrote it.

By Appointment Only by

phaballa
aka the Jensen the Happy Hooker Crossover AU of DOOM
Fandoms: cw rps/popslash
Pairings: Jensen/JC, Jensen/Lance, Jensen/Jared, JC/Lance... they're HOOKERS, okay? They fuck a lot.
Rating: Adult
Summary: Jensen and Jared are hookers. JC is JC and Lance is Lance, except that everyone's having sex with Jensen. Well, not Chad. He's still too busy giving VDs to high school girls.

So apparently one of our local non-country radio stations was making fun of one of the new country songs this morning, and when someone at work brought it up, I was like "I LOVE THAT SONG!" b/c I'm a loser like that. I love Brad Paisley. I have all his cds and I can't think of a single song that he has that I don't love. One of the things I love about his songs is that some of them are so utterly cracktastic. His new one is a perfect example. You just have to listen to it.

Ticks by Brad Paisley
I wanna see you out in the moonlight
I wanna kiss you way back in the sticks
I wanna walk you through a field of wildflowers
I wanna check you for ticks

CRACK. Seriously.

While I'm sharing country music for the three or four people on my flist that listen to country, I wanna give yall my current favorite song. I have a very bad tendancy to worry and stress about things that I have no control over, and this song just makes me think/remember that I don't always have to care about everything.

Ain't My Day to Care by Bombshel

Once upon a time, I was meant to write a drabble for

swedish15 and I couldn't do it, but I did ask the most awesome

irisgirl12000 to help me out, b/c she's all intelligent and scientifical. And she did! She wrote Six months on, Criminal Minds, Reid & molecular biology. Go read! And

swedish15? I didn't write it but I hope you enjoy it anyways!

There's new Jericho tonight. And new Crossing Jordan on at the same damn time as the new Criminal Minds. But since I've still got the last episode of CM on my computer, unwatched, I'm gonna watch Jordan.

wendy, if you're reading this, stop now.

Tomorrow, April 12th, is Drop Everything And Read day (DEAR day), so everyone be sure to make an extra special effort to read, and encourage others to do the same, especially any young'uns in your life.

anasuede did this meme over on her journal and tagged me to do it.

Writer's Meme: Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five favorite fics you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.

Picking Up the Pieces - HP - Draco & Harry are thrown together after both face situations that turn their lives upside down. Will they become friends themselves? Written btwn OotP & HBP. [PG] Multichaptered, unsure of total wordcount.

I love this because it was my first fanfic. I know it's not the best piece of writing, but it was a huge step for me just to write and post it, and I met some of the most awesome people through it Without it, I would never had gotten involved with The Tauri Archives and the OWLie family there. I also would never have gotten close to ltlredhairdgirl, who is one of my bestest friends, or lilian_cho, or several other of my favorite flisters. I have a lot of happy memories associated with writing and sharing PutP, and I absolutely adore Karissa.

24 Hours - HP - Written in response to the 24-hour challenge. What happened during the 24 hours between the attack on the Potters and Harry being delivered to the Dursleys? [PG] 4300 words

One of the things I love about HP is that there are so many blanks in the story that we can fill in. I loved writing this, and going over all the possibilities of "what if?"

Blue on Black - QaF - Gus gets lost... Post-series, features mostly Justin and Gus. [PG] 3000 words

I think the reason I love this is because it came from out of the blue. We were having a comment party and misread_ and I were going back and forth writing lines of fic. We didn't have a fandom in mind, or even a character. We were just using pronouns and general situations. And this is where it ended up.

Tequila & Teethmarks - SPN - Dean just laughed, like this was all some sort of game. Maybe it was. If so, Sam didn't understand the rules, but he was pretty sure he was losing. Wincest, nakedness, boy!kissing, biting [ADULT] 3500 words

The first Wincest I ever wrote. This was after I said I wouldn't write SPN or wincest, and when I could still claim I didn't write smut. But I had had the title in my head for a while, and it was begging for a story, and I think this one turned out rather well.

Reciprocity - Criminal Minds - One night changes the direction of Reid and Morgan's friendship.

This was written for slashfest a few rounds back. It was my first venture into Criminal Minds as a fandom, and I had actually not read any fic up to that point, so it was very exciting to be writing it. I really can't explain it; it's like... when I write in HP or SPN, there are so many other fantastic writers out there and I'm always so intimidated b/c I've read their stuff and I know that there is fic that is so much better than what I can do, so not having anything to compare it to made it... not really easier to write, but maybe less inhibited? I have special love for this fic, even if I'm not doing a very good job explaining why.

And my runner up (b/c De did it, which means I can do it too):
Kisses in the Impala - SPN - wendy actually gave me a prompt that wasn't for porn! I was so surprised that I just had to try and write it. Her prompt: -Five kisses in the Impala (from Dean's PoV)...kiss from mom, kiss from dad, kiss from girlfriend, kiss from Sam, kiss from Sam when they finally Do It. [PG] 1500 words

I always love writing for wendy. She always gives the best prompts and also is the most enthusiastic, enabling cheerleader EVER. And this one... I dunno, it was my first try at wee!winchesters, which I think everyone knows I love to write, and it was interesting trying to get the voice right as Dean grew/changed/whatever.

I'm not specifically tagging anyone b/c I haven't been paying attention to who has already done this. So, if you're a writer on my flist and haven't done this, consider yourself tagged.
