I had fully intended to spend the last few days making a nuisance of myself online, but I was distracted but something in RL, so there you go.
I had a couple of hours to myself today, so I tried to write something that turned into a Good Omens piece that quickly became 1) not funny at all and 2) the most depressing fic ever.
And I realized suddenly that everything I write is dark, or at least has dark elements. This bothers me. I have an urge to pull out the English nonsense from an obscure corner of my mind and analyse stuff I wrote. You know: the author is fixated on the colour green which signifies… But there’s a reason I’m a science major.
Maybe I’ll finish the most depressing fic ever, but not today.
In the meantime
Part of the reason I got this journal was so that I could transpose my favourites folder into a more legible form. That’s where today’s recs come from.
They’re all Stargate: SG1, a show in which the Americans find an alien device that lets them travel to other planets and get involved in a war.
Cool concept, but it wouldn’t be too much of an exaggeration to put that as all I knew about the series before reading these. I figured them out enough to enjoy them immensely… but I’m a scifi addict, so maybe I had a head start.
Totality, by Rheanna, is an excellent novel with Real British Spelling, which as it turns out isn’t all that different from real Canadian spelling. It’s funny and sad at the proper places, and it keeps you interested the entire way. There’s a first half and a second half; I suggest reading them in order.
The Hidden One by Gracie is also a pretty great novel. And then, for after the serious stuff, the relatively short Leftovers by Achaea. Now, this is technically a serious story, I suppose, but the way it’s written transforms it into something beyond hilarious. I was giggling all the way through.
I’m just about to kneel over and fall asleep on the keyboard, so I think three’s enough.
