Sheesh, at this rate, I should make it two fics for every day of the year, which comes out to ... seven hundred and thirty fic recs for the year? Damn. That sounds hard, and yet horribly tempting. Between the fic comms I read and the people on ye olde friends list (not to mention the five bajillion ficathons I've already signed up for or plan to sign up for this year), that might actually be doable. What do you think?

[Poll #645858]

And if I haven't already said and you haven't already noticed, I'm trying to restrict myself only to stories written or posted this year, so I can't cheat and go back to rec old stuff. In any event, the recs for tonight ...

Vespers, by _cee (Supernatural, Dean/Sam) -- More great stuff from the Holy Winchesters, Batman! universe. (Heh ... couldn't resist. ;)) Also, we have achieved Wincest! Yay!

You Gotta Love The Symbolism, by ladydisdain225 (Veronica Mars, Logan/Veronica) -- An encounter between Logan and Veronica following 2x10. I am such a hopeless case when it comes to well-written Logan/Veronica fic. Or well-written anything-but-Veronica/Duncan fic. Dude, the day I find a Veronica/Duncan fic I like is the day I'll keel over in shock.

And one more ... Divisible by Ten: Touch, by saganamidreams (Doctor Who, Rose/Ten) -- A very sweet, quiet moment between Rose and the Doctor following "Christmas Invasion". It's a really lovely analysis of the differences between Nine and Ten.

Fic recs left: 353 recs ... well, for now.

I think I need to make myself a Great Fic Rec Challenge of 2006 icon. Hmm.

Oh, and if anyone wants to rec anything in the comments, feel free, regardless of the fandom. I mean, don't rec yourself, because that's tacky, and I reserve the right to rec only the stuff that strikes my fancy. My personal fic rec challenge, my rules, know what I mean? But yeah, go ahead if you want. It'd make it a heck of a lot easier for me to find stuff. :)

EDIT: There! Icon. *G*

Yay for showing off new Boo icons! (Courtesy of mysticxf, who made a whole bunch of Monsters Inc. icons. Go look!) Dude, if this icon doesn't scream me, I don't know what does. :)

So I wandered off to the store and got myself the stuff I need to start sewing again (well, aside from a part I need for my sewing machine, but let's not even get into that). Now I'm all hopped up on crafty energy and want to make the skirt I got the material for by tomorrow so I can wear it to the Big Gay Cowboy Movie. *rubs hands together in anticipation*

And while we're at it, I've been thinking about last night's Project Runway. ( Spoilers, obviously. )

EDIT: ladybug218, have you read this article yet? Those two are so freaking cute. :)

So let's see ... Pat Robertson said Sharon had a stroke as divine punishment for dividing God's land. The author of "Bush's Brain" is on the No Fly List. Rep. Troy Woodruff of Indiana filed a bill to make abortion illegal in Indiana. Oh, and Fred Phelps is going to picket the funerals of the dead miners in West Virginia. (Actually, that move is pure genius, I must say, considering how many West Virginians are armed and how likely it is he'll make it out of the state alive after a move like that.)

In summation, my brain hurts. Which doesn't properly describe how any of these makes me feel, but it's either brain-hurty or fist-hurty after I punch my fist through the nearest wall.

So, in between trying to get that skirt finished on the crappiest sewing machine on the planet (I really need to invest in a new one), I bring you more fic recs. And yeah, I am going to double the number of recs, because if I can get up to seventeen recs in the first five days, I've already got a pretty good pace going. So seven hundred and thirty altogether, it is. :)

Don't Drive So Fast In The Daytime, by ignipes (Superntural, Dean and Sam) -- First of all, it's gen (for those of you tired of the Wincest, and as much I personally love it, I don't blame you), and not only that, it's excellent gen. Sam ponders their next destination one night in between flashbacks to his childhood. Cool and creepy all at once.

Watch, by nitesh_update (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, Tumnus, Peter, and Lucy) -- I'm not getting too technical with the must-have-posted-in-2006 on this one, particularly since it was only five minutes difference. ;) In any event, it's a lovely chat between Tumnus and Peter as they watch Lucy in the forest a few months after the defeat of the Witch.

Kneel, by aliaspiral (Firefly/Serenity, River/Jayne) -- An AU moment-in-time during the events of Serenity. (So obviously, spoilers for the movie.)

Blue, by mst3k_100 (Mystery Science Theater 3000, Tom Servo) -- A hysterical written statement by Servo about a minor incident on the Satellite.

Missionary, by mjules (Firefly, Mal/River) -- I should probably restrain myself from reccing WIPs, but I love this concept. It's AU in which River never gets rescued by Simon and after becoming an assassin for the Alliance is sent undercover to kill a dangerous Browncoat -- Mal Reynolds. It's a start, but it's a damn fine one.

Fic recs left: 713 recs (*whimpers*)
