I've been a busy fangirl lately and I have some fic and some recs and other things to share. <3

It was Bring Back the Porn day on IJ on Tuesday and I submitted two fics. One of which is a Mansfield Park, Fanny/Mary fic which will probably get very little love but which I enjoyed writing so much. I've just been away with my family on a Jane Austen themed holiday and my book to present on was Mansfield Park. We shared out all the books and gave talks and made films and songs and quizzes, had debates about Darcy's dubious moral code, played murder mystery games (I was Lady Catherine!) and cooked regency dinners and dressed up. It was the best family holiday!!! Anyway I came home and wrote porn which I won't be sharing with my family but am happy to share with you!

The Bed We Loved In was a Spinning World, NC-17, 2600 words, An afternoon by the lake - for one day Mary and Fanny are the masters of Mansfield Park.

I also wrote Spartacus (TV) fic, about Season 2 Lucretia lusting after pregnant Ilithyia: Cherish, NC-17, 1100 words, Lucretia hates to bathe alone.

I also want to recommend some fics that were submitted which I really enjoyed:

4 Spartacus fics by Aldiara - a saxa/belesa fic, a Barca/Pietros fic that totally broke me; and one sweet and sexy and one angsty but sexy nagron fic. Enjoy!

And for anyone that fancies some Eagle fic, of Esca/Marcus ironing out the kinks in their happily ever after, then Spaghettitoes's Status and Position is for you!

Snowflaking - DAY ONE

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator. 

Hmmm, 

Silent, Greet The Dawn - I've been feeling very fond lately of the Nate/Ray, Ray/Batman, Generation Kill Fic I wrote for we-pimpin's boys of summer exchange a year or two ago. I guess because I didn't move it onto AO3 (basically because I couldn't be bothered to recode the way it's laid out) it never gets those out of the blue kudoses that tell you someone somewhere's still appreciating it. But I kind of feel it deserves it. *resolves to archive it properly* 

Speaking of things I wrote for we-pimpin, I'm also super proud of a little Brad/Ray ww1 drabble for the prompt, Old Photographs. The sense of them in that time really appeals to me. 

I think I need at least a year before I can look back and be pleased with the things I've created. Nothing from this year seems to be cutting it. 

Choosing a fanmix for my third: Don't Tell The Beloved was a massive expiation of some very belated Remus/Sirius feels. I loved making it and I love listening to it.

 [community profile] femslashex  reveals were this week! I feel so lucky, I got such a wonderful fic, exactly what I was hoping for in fact!! 

Lights Earth With Her Silver is a Bletchley Circle fic by [personal profile] scintilla10 that focuses on Jean just after the conclusion of the season as she goes back to her life after all the excitement of reuniting with the Bletchley girls to solve the case. I love how it starts with that slightly weird city thing where you live intimately with total strangers whose lives you overhear through thin walls. I love how it takes that loneliness, combined with the loneliness of something ending, and secrets you are unable to share, and then gently opens Jean's life back up, showing her how her neighbour could be just as ready to share something new as Jean is. It's truly gorgeous! The OC is beautifully rendered and the tone is just so, so lovely. <333333333333

In return, I wrote Slowly, You Cleave To Her for AO3 user Aoife. It's a Vorkosigan Saga fic about Kareen Vorbarra and Alys Vorpatril. It charts their relationship from Alys's wedding to Gregor's. I had a lot of fun pairing these two up and thinking about how they would support each other and how their friendship could develop into something more.

I plan to give lots more of the femslashex fics a read so I hope I will be back with lots more recs!

Sure, blue is a warm colour but so are loads of other colours.

Bullet points? Bullet points! 

·     I was watching The Far Pavilions last night (again) and Wally quotes Aurora Leigh to Ash and I really liked it. This bit:

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God:
But only he who sees, takes off his shoes

·         Two days in and I'm really enjoying Write Something, you Miserable Fuck. It's both wildly distracting and oddly motivational.

·         I saw Blue is the Warmest Color on Friday and I... didn't really like it. Sorry Palme D'Or et al. It skipped ahead in time at odd moments but the characters didn't really change at all, as if they were stuck in a timewarp of their lust, which I guess they were, you know, until they weren't. It introduced ideas that it didn't follow through on and it was also a bit long and boring. What had made Adele seem youthful and interesting at the beginning just made her seem unable to get over herself by the end. Was that the point? IDK. I don't think I like films about obsession that much! I just wanted her to get over it and go have fun with all the other hot women out there. Their love was hot and explicit but it didn't come across as irreplaceable. Adele just needed to try again! And shut her mouth when she was eating and wipe her nose occasionally. The lingering shots of snot, omfg! Not hot!

·         Still working on my fics for femslashex and smutfest. I really should stop writing this and get them finished. I keep getting distracted by ideas for yagkyas though. Too many fests-syndrome. I found a book in a charity shop today that details all the Naval, Marine and Air Force uniforms of world war 2. Suddenly it seemed essential to own that! Any ww2 fics I write now will be highly accurate on the uniform front, jsyk.

·         In the same charity shop they also had s1 of Stargate Atlantis so I bought that. No idea when I'll get time to watch it but it seems like time I did.
