Update...and a lot of screaming!

[tabaqui]

Hallo! Seems like i haven't updated in forever!
I made this post and did 'preview' about fifteen times and there was an error *every damn time* on stuff i *know* was right! So i'm sorry the recs have no links, they simply would not *work*.
*kicks LJ hard*
Arrrrrgh!!
The stories are uber-easy to find at the particular LJ's, so don't skip 'em just 'cause there's no link!

Now for the news - i'm getting visitors!! Wheeeeeee! Well, okay, me and pretties_4u are getting visitors. sweptawaybayou, ely_jan, luvsbitch and mjsslave are all coming to my hometown to hang!! Whooot! And get tattoos, and eat at Maid-Rites and babble like babbling fools. And it's Snow's birthday that weekend!! So there will be *cake*.
:)

*bounce*
*eyes house*
I wonder if i can paint the livingroom and replace the carpet before they get here?
Can't wait!

reremouse is back from her holiday hiatus!! *clings to her* And we shall *never* let her leave us again!

How about a few recs?
savoytruffle is posting a sequel to her brilliant story 'They Tell Me It Rained'. Called 'Over a Cardboard Sea', it's post-everything Spike and Xander, different and wonderful.

nwhepcat is also doing a sequel, to her wonderful 'Keeper of the Book'. Go and read 'Another Door' - Spike, Xander, Wes, Faith - it's all good! And yes, slashy. :)

_cee is writing a Supernatural AU called Rituale Romanum. Priests. Faith. Temptation. It's lovely.

winterlive graced us all with RPS! Heh. The 'Supernatural' boys, and it's fun and hot and just damn good. 'Storm Coming On'. Yes.

Speaking of, because i'm a freak, i let Winter and darkhavens con bully talk me into the Supernatural fandom. And i'm not even watching the show! So here's a little ficlet i wrote and posted over in Darkhavens' new community, kaz2y5. It's a challenge community, and the first challenge was Broken. My response:Fixable. Go and check out the challenges - be inspired - have fun! :) Reremouse cheered me on, as ususal. Heh.


I'm hoping to have more 'Scaling Heaven' up soon, i sort of got all off the writing train over the holidays. But i'm working on it! :)

And that - is all.
*smoooch*

Maid-Rites?!

Where the heck are you? (I have two theories, but they could both be wrong...)

Have fun with everyone!

And thanks for the rec, toots.

[tabaqui]

Heeeee!!
I lurve your stories - must rec!!

*we're in Missouri*
:)

[nwhepcat.livejournal.com]

Damn, I was hoping Iowa City.

The Maid-Rite near my Hephometown is known for the stripe of used chewing gum that rings the entire building, from people going through the drivethru and sticking their gum on the brick. The pen-and-ink postcard they sell actually has the gumdots depicted.

[tabaqui]

Ah ha.
*shudders*
There is no drive-through here. They have 'loose' meat hamburgers and concretes to die for. Yis.

Home-town business, same owners for years and years - since before i was born!

[nwhepcat.livejournal.com]

The one near Heptown does the loose-meat burger, too! (And so does the one in Iowa City.) The drive through is just a window, basically. The place looks like a bar & grill.

I wonder what the connection is.

[tabaqui]

Hrmmm, i dunno. This is the only one i've ever seen. It's totally like Happy Days or something - red vinyl booths and 'western' style swivel chairs... It's not a franchise, as far as i know.

Good, good stuff.

[allegraconbrio.livejournal.com]

Whee! Visitors! I love reading about meet-ups. I know you will have a blast. :)

Thanks for the recs, Tabaqui. And you are funny, writing in a fandom you don't watch. I don't watch Supernatural either, but now must read... just to complete the circle. *g*

[tabaqui]

Yup yup, we will!
*bounce*

Hehe. I've been *reading* the fandom and love it - i've seen bits of two or maybe three eps. It's just very intriguing and of course, the boys...
:)
Yes, you must!
Hurry, go!

[sweptawaybayou.livejournal.com]

*flails*

**brings foccocia bread and wine and garlic spread**

Can't wait to talk to you again!

Whooooot!

Cake!?!?!? Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate!

*ahem*

Is it the weekend yet?

:)

[tabaqui]

Heeeeeeee.
Yup!
Chocolate!
:)
*la la la*
Cheese bread!!!!
Yisss!!
*hurries to buy cream cheese*

[saifai.livejournal.com]

Damn that darkhavens and her Wincest!crack. *pouts* Runs off to read more*

...oh yeah, and thanks for the other recs. Haven't seen a 'em before. :)

[tabaqui]

Heeeee!!
I know!!
*flails*

Hope you like 'em, i know *i* did!
:)

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

eeeeeeeee! a pimp! *smooches you*

And you get to see ely_jan! Give her a hug from me! She's absolutely adorable. :D

[tabaqui]

Heeeeee, of course a pimp!
:)
*smoooch*

[savoytruffle.livejournal.com]

thanks for the pimp! have you bought the chains for rere yet?

[tabaqui]

Ack!
*makes note*
I'll get 'em tomorrow.
:)

[chriself.livejournal.com]

Just say "No" to new fandoms.......

but I'll take more 'Scaling Heaven', definitely

[tabaqui]

*flails*
Nooooooo!! I can't!!
They're so pretteh!!
:)

[djinanna.livejournal.com]

You should the Supernatural prettiness watch. For they are veryveryvery pretty. And I have lusted after them (even though old enough to be their mother) for years now, following them through several other shows.

And the stories are definitely better than season 7 of Buffy. *grin*

[tabaqui]

Oh dear gods what *isn't*.
:)

Yis, i'm trying. I'm getting season one or everything so far or *something*, soon.
*la la la*
I adore that Mucha painting in your icon. Loved it for years.

You single-handedly pulled me into "Supernatural" with this.

I watched it Sunday and Wednesday, you bastid! All for teh UST, which I totally didn't see in the first ep (hence me not watching, I'm a perv). And dude--you'd never seen the show? Sheesh.

Can I borrow a cup of talent?

And visitors?
*squees*

Who cares about a carpet and walls? They get to meet tabaqui!

Duh.

[tabaqui]

Heeeeee!!!
*bounce*
You are so in! So, so in!
Isn't it delightful? Don't you love it?
You must go read all the fic i rec'd and you must join the challenge community!!
Yissss!
:)
*bounce*

I'm going to be posting more Scaling Heaven tonight and then i'll have a visitor update.
*la la la*
*smoooch*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_beetle_/]

'In' what?

Hmm, considering the leit motif of my life, I'd wager 'trouble' =D

Yes, all because of your wicked wiles, I'm loveing "Supernatural". Which was the entire point of your wicked fic, wasn't it? Wasn't it?!

SCALING HEAVEN!!!

Which I'm going to read again, 'cause each time I do, I'm like--holy shit, it's ANGEL!

It blows my mind every time.

Then again, I'm always surprised whenever I watch "Jurassic Park", and Muldoon gets it from that sneaky raptor. I'm retarded.

And the whole fresh food is rare thing--at least decent fresh food--even something as skanky as coffee is precious. You rock with the detailage--

[tabaqui]

In the glue, bay-bee. The Supernatural glue.
I gotcha!

I love that you reread.
*bounce*
Yisss!!
:)

Hehe!
It *costs* to ship high-mass stuff. Dried and whatnot so much cheaper so...fresh= rare + expensive.

*i still need a sh icon, damnit...*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_beetle_/]

I'd make you one, but I'm shit at making zee icons . . . as is painfully obvious. . . .

[tabaqui]

*pet pet pet*
S'okay.
:)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_beetle_/]

Dude!

You're supposed to say "aw, no, your icons are kick-ass", even if saying so is lying through your teeth--even as your nose is growing! You suck at the ego-stroking of me *pouts*

[tabaqui]

Oh!
Ummmm...crap.
Sorry?
*pet pet pet pet pet pet*

Your writins is the bomb!!!
:)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_beetle_/]

Meh, don't try to placate me--it's too late. Now I know what you really think of my poor, darling icons *sniffs*

Talk to the hand!

[tabaqui]

BWAAAAAAaahhahhaha!

Oh, uh - wrong response.
*ahem*

Ummm.
*smoooch*
Still loves ya, bay-bee!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_beetle_/]

Oh, fine, you twisted my arm. I'll join up--I've joined four communities in the past day, this'll be five *shrugs*

The new challenge is "Dude, that's not normal"--

Sounds like something I know a lot about =D

And I'll read the recs. For a small fee. . . .

[tabaqui]

Wheeeeeee!!!
*bounce*
Fee?
Fee?

And what would *that* be?

And who is that in your icon?
*peers*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_beetle_/]

Robert Smith of the Cure.

See . . . it's a cunning play on words . . . very cunning. Or at least it was two weeks ago. "Ain't no CURE for what I got" . . . hee! You're jealous, aren'tcha?

*pouts*

Shut up.

[tabaqui]

Ahhhh. Cool.
:)
I don't listen to much 'Cure', but i do like them.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_beetle_/]

Oh, and the fee is, um . . . ooh! I want a Delorian!

Hey--you want a link to a Xander/Riley fic that's so good, I'm all in love with it?

You know you do! Say yes! It's by entrenous88!

Rilly, rilly good. . . .

[tabaqui]

Hrmmmmm.
I really do *not* like Reily. *see my ranty comment at lunabees lj*

But...i'll give it a try.
:)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_beetle_/]

http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=entrenous88&keyword=Riley/Xander&filter=all

There! Read this and you will be converted! Or at least you won't hate him quite as much. I was mostly indifferent, but--I'm actually leaning towards like, now. For this version of Riley, anyway. I hate all your Rileys =D

And Tabaqui? Ranting? Impossible! this, I must see!

[tabaqui]

Okay then, I'll go give it a look-see. Or, bookmark and get back to SH!!
Sheesh.
Kicking my *ass*.

Anyway.
:)
*smooch*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_beetle_/]

But if it's too weird and yarky, don't force yourself!

I tried to do that, recently, with a "Due South" fic. It was Fraser/Ray Vecchio, not Fraser/Ray Kowalski. I just--couldn't get into it. It was well-written, but. . . . rubbed me wrong. And I like Vecchio, just not with Frase. So I can't imagine how it'd be to see Frase with someone I hate.

If R/X sets off your squick-o-meter, I say run away, run away!

[tabaqui]

I just don't like Riley, i really don't.
Heh.
Ah well.

I'm the same - RayK and Fraser 4evah!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_beetle_/]

I knew there was a reason I liked you =D

[tabaqui]

Yet another fandom i like where i've never seen the show!
Heh.
But i did see a cool Fraser/RayK vid. So - la!

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, you must! Rent it on DVD, or something, but you must! Start with the Vecchio eps and work your way forward! It was a great show. Quirk and fulla heart. Broke my heart when it got yanked.

[tabaqui]

I'm gonna have to.
:)
