Stuff...

Hello <333

I am in a happy, happy mood. I think it comes from being productive, like I actually did work today. As in homework and also I didn't quite fail that maths test I did last week, like I thought I would.

I can't believe my last post was the drunk one, I was going to post yesterday, but every time I do with no drabbles I feel guilty and so I don't. Which is silly. And my calendar looks sad with all the empty squares where there are days I haven't posted. I want it to be all full. And I never even get close to it.

OMG America on Friday! Yay!!!! I will have to take tons and tons of pics and spam you all when I get back. :D

Haven't had time to read any fic today, but [livejournal.com profile] colourme_hp has given me a lot of pretty art to look at and squee over. A totally awesome community, very busy and very pretty. So much love for the fanart!

I don't really read much fic anymore, I don't really know why. I have a huge list of things I want to read, the majority of those being novel lengths and I just haven't started. And when all of you post fic, I always mean to read it, bookmark it and then don't. I mean I do read some, but it is very random what I choose to read. And it is never something I'd planned on reading. What is wrong with me? Why do I not read fic? I don't know why I am saying this, but I think it's to do with my love for fanart, I love looking at it and I am contuinuously looking for new fanartists to friend and fangirl. Maybe because art is something I can quickly look at, as well as review and it doesn't take too long. I guess the time reason is laughable, considering how long I spend online, just reading/refreshing flist when I could be reading. I think it is because I have lost the habit. Whatever it is, I hope it changes. Soon. This probably applies when it comes to writing, but I won't go into that now.

In other, better news, Smallville ep was actually good. And Smallville fic is something I actually want to read. And I am not sure where to find it, sure I can find lots of fic. But I want to read a recent novel length dealing with all the Clark/Lex interactions from this season. I don't know if this exists and if it does, have no idea how to go about finding it. It is so much easier in HP, if I am looking for fic, I know exactly where to find it. I know all the classics etc. But am without a clue when it comes to Smallville, that's a fandom that can sure do with a newby community.

And I remember there is a community with starter packs for all sorts of fandoms, but can't remember its name. If anyone knows it, I will be very thankful.

Wow, and to think I started this not knowing what I was going to say. And look what happened. Stopping now, or I will be needing a lj-cut.

Maybe you aren't interested in reading fanfiction anymore? I know quite a few people who feel the same way.

Hi Sweetie <3

For Smallville fic go to the central archive at http://smallville.slashdom.com/ and there's also [livejournal.com profile] svmadelyn's excellent recs journal [livejournal.com profile] talkoncorners between those two sites you should be able to find everything you're looking for ;-)

Posting a fic search at [livejournal.com profile] sv_inquiry or just browsing through the community might also help.

*hugs*

Hi--I saw you had friended my recs blog, and I always like to check out people when they've friended me or the blog, so--here I am. *g* Anyway, I just wanted to point out a couple other links you might find helpful, in addition to [livejournal.com profile] sv_inquiry which someone pointed out. On that comm, linked as the website is the Smallville Resources Page (http://medicationforsleepdeprivation.popullus.net/svresources.htm) that I maintain, and in the userinfo you'll find a link to my overview at [livejournal.com profile] newbieguide with basically the same information.

As for specific season recs--hmm. I can't really think of that many that have dealt with the happenings in S4. The main stories of novel length that have come out are generally futurefic. I did just read one on the Remix challenge that is an interesting AU that kind of explains the season though: http://remix.illuminatedtext.com/dbfiction.php?fiction_id=316

I've also been doing codas for most every episode of the season; some are short, the longest is about ten pages, so if you're interested in a link to that, let me know, or just head over to my website, it's on my fic page.

Hope something there helps!

Hi. We haven't heard in a while and as I can see things, you're going to America (right?) so maybe we won't for a long time! Where are you going to? I think you mentioned once but I've forgotten!

Reading fics... I went through the same actually! As first when I found Lj i read like a madman every single thing, read, laughed, got even histerical with laughter and then.. that just stopped. I got so used to reading stuff and knowing what was to come! Stupid really! Well I do miss that at the beginning it was cool, but I don't waste my time now with that!

I can't wait for your pics! Hope you have a great time there, though I also hope we catch on MSN these days for a chat!
Kisses!
