So, I've decided that I should be much more fannish. Involved fannishly. I'm going to thank folks for the work they do, reccing and such, and directing us to the good things. I'm kicking around the idea of doing recs of the stories that I've read and liked, kind of give a man-on-streets type of review only with boobies. Not the fic of course. Me. Not that my boobies would be relevant to the stories...well, not in a way I'd want to share. I think I might share those instances when I click on a story that normally would make my eyeballs say "I fuckin' hate you!" and my stomach say "SEE YA!" but click because I'm so goshdarn nosy. You know my mantra--NUH, HOW BAD CAN IT BE?

Sometimes, it can be THIS BAD. And sometimes, it's mindbending in a very good, brain-opening way.

So, this is my plan for the Summer of Wailing and Rending of the Garments, or Hiatus for short. Watch this space! Or not, my track record kind of sucks when it comes to follow-through. But intentions! Thoroughly good! A little pavey, but good.

Kisses to you all!

I need to do the same thing. I think that's part of the reason why I created the j2_hs_college comm. I wanted to be able to share my love for that trope in fanfic, and hope that others would join me. (Thanks so much for being one of them!)

Ah, see, you do the big BRAVE thing! I love HS and college fics so much! SpN was where I found this type of fic and leaped in with both feet!

I'm writing my own version with HS Sam in my MOL fic. :D

p.s. *love* your icon!

[bt-kady.livejournal.com]

Starting my own comm wasn't being brave to me, since I help mod another one, but thanks for your participation. Like you, my love for SPN led me to J2 AU, and now it's my favorite.

I want to read that! I love this whole MoL story line. I love that the brothers have a home now, and that Sam embraces being a Man of Letters. Dean's just happy if his Sammy is happy.

*blush*
Here's a link to the story if you'd like to read it! I'm very fond of this Sam. :)

I will absolutely read that...when I get home from work! Thanks for the link!

OMG! I love your Rambling Roxy posts! *G* I'm trying to pick my favorite part, but I'd have to say all of it. lol

Ok...maybe this: Summer of Wailing and Rending of the Garments, or Hiatus for short.

Loves you!!!! *HUUUUUGGGSSS*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Heeee! I live to make you laugh! *GGG*

Please note that the world in general appreciates fair warning of fic that is THIS BAD.
I myself also really like recs although I suspect we have somewhat different taste in fic ;)

i do what i can...

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Ach, we'll meet on *some* fics! *G*

Re: i do what i can...

[jesseofthenorth.livejournal.com]

True! J2 HSAU will always work for me :DD

Re: i do what i can...

[bt-kady.livejournal.com]

As it does me!

[rednihilist.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan, Stan. I've always meant to write up some recs cos Jebus knows I've tons of bookmarks, but, alas--just too damn lazy. Kudos to you for ambition, hon. Look forward to seeing what gets Snuggles going. ;)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

See, that laziness thing...*koff* Yeah, I totally get it.

[peepingdru.livejournal.com]

*FALLS DOWN LAUGHING*

You *and* my family, my dear! *GRIN*

[runedgirl.livejournal.com]

LOL :) I hope you do all of the above - it always makes me happy when the people I like here say just about anything!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Yes, good there's no camera on us because I just did that flaily thing layered with a Sally Fields moment... *koff*

I reeeeally want to do this--I should, I will. *resolve face*

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Yes. I need a fannish involvement inspiration, so I shall look to you.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

GASP!!! *runs to fan you*

*expires halfway there due to heatstroke*

[gingersnap1224.livejournal.com]

Do it, do it, DO IT! I need a good fic to sink my teeth into.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I think it could be fun. As soon as my BB is finally for gods sake done, I'll start kicking around some ideas. These would be good times to rec some ancient stories, I think.

[smalltrolven.livejournal.com]

the more comments and recs the better! Have at it I say!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

There needs to be more recs, yes! And more insta-recs and why we should read the stories, I like those.

[dimeliora.livejournal.com]

Yes! Wait are you reccing bad fic that is MST3K bad or like hard to read but super awesome? Because I like both of those things.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Sadly, no. ;)

[tabaqui]

Heeee! You are just so amazing and awesome and amazingly awesome. :)
*twirls you around and around and around*

Wheeeeeeee!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

I is? I *is*!!!

[tabaqui]

SO IS.

Aw, bless you <3

I was recently thinking about the lack of recs around fandom in general. I've taken to going through AO3 tags in search of new stuff to download to my kindle, but a lot of stuff that gets the most hits bewilders me... so much mpreg, so much knotting... I like both those tropes on occasion, but seriously, there's so much of it!!!

Anyway, in short... I look forward to anything you plan to rec!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Ach, I know right? That and the vague threats to not post more if there aren't enough *comments*...I was under the impression that AO3 was all about taking the heat off about comments and that kudos were the 'new cookies'.

And thanks for trusting my taste, lol! It is pretty good, I have to admit. *casts shy looks in your direction* ;)

[sonofabiscuit77.livejournal.com]

I'm such a noob with AO3 that I only realised REALLY recently that I could even reply to comments there, duh. Never mind.

Looking forward to your recs! No pressure ;-)

This is in perfect alignment with the intentions, sprouting up all over the place in these parts, to post more, be more active and prove to ourselves and the world that journals are still wonderful places for community and fandom.

Not that you don't already do your part, because you've been such a consistent light around here ever since I joined. But anyway, I love this idea and I will read your Boobs-on-the-Street fic reviews with relish. And, you know, mustard.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Heeeeee!

Ach, where in RL could I meet such interesting, amusing and gorgeous people? I want to encourage all these fabulous people to stay here and participate more, y'know?

*passes the condiments*
