No time! There's never any time!!1

Ugh, busy busy busy. I'm moving house on Friday and packing is basically the most stressful thing ever. I have so much pointless shit! But aside from being all stressed I'm mostly kind of sadfacey about the move, because I grew up here and I can't quite imagine never being able to go back.

As if that wasn't bad enough, it means I'm going to be internetless for about a WEEK. D: Hopefully fandom won't implode while I'm gone.

Oh, thanks for the snowflake cookies, btw! Kind of annoyed that apparently you can't send them any more - I guess that maybe LJ made them free by mistake? Judging by LJ's past record I'd say they're more likely to fuck up than do something selfless and nice. ;)

Random poll, because I'm curious:

[Poll #1496393]

I love Katie/Emily SO MUCH (probs my third favourite pairing, after Naomi/Emily and Katie/Effy) and there's a crazy amount of subtext, but they're criminally underwritten in fic. IDK if that's because people just don't ship it or they're squicked by it or they feel like they ought to be squicked by it lest Pope Meg smite them, but I'm really interested in people's thoughts. :D

THAT ICON. ♥

Katie/Emily/Naomi is awesome! I've actually wanted to write Katie/Emily/Naomi (maybe as a triangle, maybe as a threesome) for ages, but for some reason I'm finding it difficult. I'm sure I will at some point, though.

I'm kind of intrigued by the idea of Katie/Naomi but I haven't really read any and I think it would take a really good writer to convince me.

You haven't read any Katie/Naomi? II can think of at least 3 very good examples if you're interested?

Sure, I'm always up for recs! :D

For starters, Flister's fic (as also rec'd by fab_fairy) is fabby.

Alongside that I'd go with:

A Dustland Fairytale, Either/Or (though that is a follow-on piece, it works on it's own, to me at least) and Make Tea, Not War. I'm sure there are lots more but those were the easiest to access frae my flist.

Thanks for the recs! The only one that I'm familiar with is Either/Or, which I only read a bit of. (I think Sivi's a good writer, I just don't have much interest in kid!fic.) I'll check out the others!

It's worth going beyond that, he's only really there as a foil for K/N to get all emotional. Which is Aly approved :P

Hope you enjoy what you read of them though.

Have you not been reading In Keeping Secrets by [livejournal.com profile] flister? It's REALLY good.
