the_deep_magic1) Is anyone else not getting LJ comments? Because I was so sad that Little Dog hadn't gotten any comments (his self-esteem is very fragile, you know), but then I checked the actual post and he had! He had comments! Perhaps I will read them to him. He will listen for 0.003% of a second, then race off after his squeaky snake.
2) I forgot to mention Plato's old-man whiskers and beard. I don't think he's sensitive about being prematurely gray, though -- it just gets him a lot of chin rubs. And people think he's all ~mature.
3) Tomorrow is Research Day. I will research grad schools, degrees, what to do with those degrees, a few things for fic, etc. This is my goal.
4) Also, I should be getting confirmation on the job tomorrow, along with a school ID and papers to sign and everything. I'll be nervous until everything all goes through and I have students booked, but I'm still psyched.
5) Twitter, you and I are growing apart. I'm not leaving you yet, but don't be surprised if one day you come home and my bags are packed.
6) Although, if I were Simon Pegg, I would respond to everything with "Fuck you, I'm Shaun of the Dead."
7) I have watched first two episodes of BBC Sherlock and will watch third in between Research tomorrow. Thus, by tomorrow night, I am going to need some good fic recs. Preferably short-ish, just to dip my toe in the fandom. Didn't beederiffic write a Sherlock fic? I tried to find it, but I couldn't. So anyway, links plz. But I will wait until after I've seen the last ep to read them.

Date: 2011-09-21 01:47 pm (UTC)I know with mine I could teach at community college, but OH WAIT, what community college has linguistics? It's not exactly functional! RIght now I'll stick to my job at the mall and getting more Zumba classes to teach. I'm getting certified by the Red Cross on Saturday which opens up more opportunities in the fitness world. My career path is SO WEIRD.

Date: 2011-09-21 06:41 pm (UTC)Hooray for weird career paths! My resume is so schizoid: movie critic, seamstress, science performer, writing tutor, haunted house denizen at a theme park, online content writer for law firm, clown...
Well, okay, I never got paid for being a clown, but I did perform as one.

Long, plotty case fic, itense and psychologically plausuble. With bonus porn.

THIS FIC. I usually stay the hell away from 1st person fics, and especially when it's Sherlock's POV, but this fic is in a league of its own, and I can't recommend it enough. I only finished it a couple of days ago and virtually haven't read any fic since not to spoil the aftertaste.

Another perfect John/Sherlock one.

This one is gen, but oh, so much fun and their voices are spot on.
Do you like darker/more twisted stories? I could, erm, provide links.

Is it sad that I can live happily on the thought of them shooting a movie together? (well SOME DAY they WILL be working together and pictures and interviews and and and...) No? I didn't think so.

Date: 2011-10-03 05:53 pm (UTC)I've only been reading long-ish fic and AUs at that but these three are SO GOOD:
http://archiveofourown.org/works/180121 This one is a WIP, but she updates pretty regularly. It's a case fic so it's not just smut. Even though there is lots of that too.
http://madlorific.livejournal.com/30177.html WIP again. But she is really good about updating as well. It's an AU where they are actors. Amazing writing. It's beautiful.
http://definewisdom.livejournal.com/36398.html This one is only two parts and it's finished. Really interesting concept where John is death. He and his siblings are the Four Horsemen. It's gen, but the story and writing are worth it.
