Is livejournal usually like this? (she demands angrily.) I was all excited at the prospect of wasting today figuring it out, but it's all server not found, journal read only, journal not readable at all, journal on some other plane of existance... Sigh.

Okay, better now. Um. I've decided I need to create my own emotion pictures, so I made this great plan of how I would find ONE emotion for each character... the challenge was is coming up with enough characters, you see. It's not working out, however, because *some* characters aren't satisfied with just one. damn 3D people Ah well. A girl could do worse than two Methos pics. I'll find some really unflattering ones.

More Importantly,

I read a really great fic today, by accident, while LJ was down:

All Hearts, Which I By Lacking
By Ellen Fremedon

This is a Sandman fic, and it is exquisite. If you enjoyed Book of Dreams, this far outshines the best in that collection, IMHO.

I am normally wary of such things to the point of paranoia, (which made writing A Song Stolen somewhat painful for me) and there has only been one other Sandman story I've ever come across that I think worthy of, well, existence might be too harsh, but worthy of reading, anyway:

The boy who gave away his birthday
By Mary

Which is very different from the other, but still good.

Both of these could quite legally be classified as slash fic under the usual definition, and I'd even reluctantly agree for the last one. I'm not sure if I mean that as a warning or an advertisement or an attempt to be vague and difficult.

Mary, while I'm at it, also wrote Forgotten Girl, a poignant Neverwhere/Buffy Crossover, and a Dogma Fic that, to be honest, I'm not overly fond of, but contained a passage that followed me around in my head. ( Here )

And that concludes the random fic recs for today. So, now, the random friending I intended to accomplish earlier. I feel so alo-one...
