( MASTER LISTS )
Just finished reading Stephen Fry's "Moab is My Washpot". God, how I love this man.
Dear due South fandom. Cease this stupid shit immediately. I have chronic depression. You are not helping.
Also, you are way smarter than this. Pairing preferences? Really?
P.S.
You know what makes me want to start a polite bitchfest (not that I'm actually doing it 'cause I'm that awesome and restrained)?
People not reading comms' rules, bad grammar, awful layouts, tiny fonts, read-my-horrible-fic summaries, general stupidity and ignorance.
Now THAT (any of that) is what I call a WORTHY REASON, not some freaking reading preferences.

New due South master list:
Louis Gardino fic (slash only)
Currently 20 stories (not counting sequels). Mostly Kowalski/Gardino, but a few other pairings as well.
As always, let me know what I've missed, self pimping is encouraged, etc.

A collection of awesome stories for your reading/rereading enjoyment. I was in the mood for HP today. :)
( 7 stories: Snape/Harry, Snape/Lupin, Albus Severus/Severus Snape, Albus Severus/Scorpius, Snape/Draco/Harry )
( 7 stories: Snape/Harry, Snape/Lupin, Albus Severus/Severus Snape, Albus Severus/Scorpius, Snape/Draco/Harry )
You know what brings JOY into my world (and yours, hopefully *g*)? HOOKER!AUs!!! \o/ Cracky or serious, funny or angsty - they are JOYOUS!
( So here, have some recs )
Many happy (re)readings, have fun and spread more joy! :)
ETA: Also, I have a cuddly polar bear! \o/ Thank you, dear anonymous!

For some reason I was craving House/Wilson these past several days. And since trying to find good new House fic is like looking for a needle in a haystack* (seriously, House fandom, why so many badfic? And where is my porn? *hides*) I went and reread some of my long-time favourites.
( 10 stories, all House/Wilson )
* at least if it's not your main fandom
( 10 stories, all House/Wilson )

Reconstruction [Perfect Fraser voice. Seriously. PERFECT.]
Fraser/Vecchio, R?, 9600 words, first time.
"Fraser, I took three weeks off work, and we're gonna rebuild that damn cabin if it's the last thing we do, so pack up your rucksack and the mutt and let's go," Ray had said, and we had. Of course, it wasn't quite that simple. I did have a fairly serious head wound and a fortunately much less serious concussion, which nonetheless required a night's observation in the nearest hospital. After that [...]
Cooperation (Now with Added Mountie) [Yay! My favourite kind of Ray banter! Snarky and funny. \o/]
Gen-ish, Vecchio/Stella, implied Fraser/Kowalski, PG?, 2850 words, established relationship, post-CotW (in Chicago).
"Yeah, well, I don't see anyone offering 'cept me, and anyway, I got experience." Kowalski leaned forward a fraction, making his chair wobble dangerously. Ray made a mental note to requisition a real desk chair with actual wheels on it before Kowalski killed himself. Not that Ray cared, mind you; he just figured that the paperwork on that kind of thing would be a real bitch.
Prepping for Adventure [So much SQUEE. OT3 on the quest! Rays bonding! Sneaky Fraser! *cuddles fic*]
Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio, Kowalski/Vecchio, R?, 4700 words, first time, post-CotW.
Ray tries screaming "Benny" and the wind whips it away, and then he tries yelling "Kowalski" and the wind stuffs it back down his throat. And everything's white everywhere, he can't even tell anymore which direction the snow's blowing, it's just solid white. He's gonna die, he's gonna die, and it's so not fair because, looking back on it, he's made a lot of decisions that ought to have gotten him killed.
Again, This Time [Gorgeous, beautifully written story. Oh, Fraser! *pets him*]
Fraser/Kowalski, NC-17, 2600 words, first time, a bit of angst.
"I love you," Ray says during the commercial break, halfway through the Leafs game he knows Fraser has been looking forward to for weeks. There's even bark tea and a pineapple-free pizza. It might not be the stuff of great romance, but Ray figures all this stuff is as close to romance as the Mountie would ever get, so when he guesses the moment's right, he takes a deep breath and just says it.
A Half-Wolf's Christmas in Chicago (Five Things Diefenbaker Likes About Christmas) [This one? I ADORE. Awesome Dief!fic. \o/]
Gen-ish, Dief, Fraser/Kowalski, G?, 1400 words.
Christmas in Chicago is too much peppermint and fake pine scent (Dief almost believes that Benton's nose suffers as much as his own) and, sometimes, trees that look real but aren't. Those make Dief sneeze the worst.
Christmas Away From Home [Fraser, Ray and their adult daughter. Great future fic.]
Fraser/Kowalski, PG?, 5150 words, established relationship, kid!fic, post-CotW, a bit of angst.
Fraser could tell by the set of Ray's shoulders that he knew Fraser was there, but it appeared he was out of the sightline of the camera by the way Margaret went on, confiding and unselfconscious, "It's like Depot. Half the time I was there I was just trying to do well enough that nobody would, I don't know, find me out. I always felt like I was there under false pretenses."

Sleeping is Believing [BOYS!!! Snarky, cute, insecure boys! *smishes them together*]
Kowalski/Vecchio, PG-13?, 4200 words, first time.
He stopped at the foot of the bed and studied Kowalski. His hand was curled loosely on the hospital blanket, middle finger slightly extended. Yeah, even unconscious, Kowalski was giving the finger to the whole world. And even unconscious, he radiated energy. If it weren't for the dressing on his temple and the oxygen tube across his upper lip, Ray might've thought he was faking it.
Experimental Share [Guh. Mmmm, rimming. Hot like burning! *flails*]
Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio, NC-17, 1900 words, established relationship, post-CotW.
Jesus, it was good, so good. Ray had never felt anything like it--more intimate even than being fucked, and with Benny holding him down he couldn't move the way he wanted to, so everything Kowalski was making him feel ricocheted around in him like he was a pinball machine and just built and built.
(if) this is feeling merry [Domesticity! Baking cookies! Adorable Vecchio! Sweeeet.]
Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio, PG-13?, 1150 words, established relationship, humour, post-CotW.
Someone had to step in and be the Grinch, right? So when he walked into Fraser's apartment one day and saw him and Kowalski kissing - yes, under some damn mistletoe - he may have overreacted. "Seriously? I've been out in the cold for hours, trying to find a guy who held up the Dollar Store with a candy gun - without either of my partners, by the way - and you two are up here making out without me!?"
Outcast [Whimsy AU. Fascinatingly interesting. *wants MOAR!*]
Gen, Vecchio, Kowalski, PG?, 1100 words, AU, a bit of angst.
I'd stay somewhere else if I could -- God, would I ever -- but it's not like I can get a normal job anymore. Chicago PD took one look at my lifestyle and said thanks, but no thanks, we don't hire your kind. Like I'm some kind of leper or something. I tried to get the ACLU to take my case, but they're too busy with traditional minorities to bother with me. The night I told Kowalski that, I thought he'd blow a gasket.
pull a breath like another cigarette [So much love for this. Awesome RayK voice. And guys, they are playing a game of crossdressing chicken. With EYELINER. *hearts*]
Fraser/Kowalski, R?, 2450 words, first time.
And that was it for Ray's fantasies about Fraser in eyeliner. He didn't even bring it up, because Fraser obviously didn't want anyone to know and he was so freaked out about the thought of Ray wearing it that he couldn't even talk about it later, just went on like it never happened and they were fine, two regular guys watching hockey and eating pizza who just happened to both like Clinique better than Cover Girl but who didn't, under any circumstances, talk about it.

This list's been (mostly) ready for over 3 months, but, seeing as my life sucks, I'm just now making it public. Had a couple of hours to finally finish it this weekend and here we go, new due South master list:
dS crossovers with dS6Degrees fandoms (slash, gen, het)
Currently 48 stories (not counting sequels) in 13 crossover fandoms.
What you'll find there: crossovers between due South and dS6D fandoms. Note that it’s due South Six Degrees, not Canadian Six Degrees. Basically it means that I’m restricting the list of crossover fandoms to those featuring actors who played the main roles in due South series (PG, CKR, DM). 'Cause, hello, I'm only human.
Frankly, I'm uncomfortable posting this new list when all the other ones haven't been updated for god knows how long... But I figure better now than never, right? :)
ETA: I usually try to read, if I haven't already, most of the stories while list compiling and to leave some feedback to the authors. At least a couple of words, 'cause I think it's kind of rude to read and not to comment if you liked the fic. But this time around I wasn't so good with feedback, for different reasons. For that, I'm sorry. Guys, if your fic is on the list and the words "have not read" aren't attached, it means that most likely I loved your story to bits. Llassah, Tara (omg, that bsg thing!), Nos, all the rest of you my pretties, YOU ROCK! The level of writing in this fandom always astonishes me.

Hello, f-list. This is one of those "I'm not dead yet" posts. Just thought I'd let you know. :)
I last posted over 2 months ago, but I'm not completely out of the loop. I still scroll through my flist from time to time and bookmark stuff, I just don't have time to read any of it. Which is SAD AND AWFUL. And don't even get me started on DS_Match_2. *cries*
What else, what else... Obviously, there's almost 4 months' worth of fic out there that I have to add to the lists, and I have absolutely no idea when and if I'll have the time to actually do it. /o\ Well, I do have some free time this weekend, but I'm planning to spend it doing laundry and finally reading some due South fic, so... nope, no lists updating.
As to what's happening in my RL, ( cut for a bit of pathetic whining )
Also, I have cramps. My lower back is killing me. Whaaaah.
/emo
~~~
To make this post fannish, have a bunch of Hot Fuzz recs (nothing new here though, all the stories are *at least* several months old):
( 12 fics: Nicholas/Danny, Andy/Andy )

Oh, and I almost forgot. Thank you, dear anon, whoever you are, for such a cute and cuddly polar bear! *hearts* :)

I'm feeling kind of lurkery lately. Like, I'd be reading f-list, see something I really relate to and think: "yes, definitely, what she said" and then... not comment. I mean, I've never been very social on lj when it comes to RL emo-ish stuff, but right now I have to make a conscious effort to comment on fannish, meta-ish posts. And I fail most of the time. Apathy or something like that. Work, work and no fun equals one exhausted V, I guess. Don't overwork yourselves, kids.
Quote meme, snagged from
mergatrude. Go here (scroll to the bottom of the page and check boxes). Keep refreshing until you've collected five quotes that really resonate with you, then post them to your journal.
( these ones describe me pretty well )
And to give this post some fannish content, have some SGA recs. These are mostly longish fandom classics I've been re-reading bits and pieces of lately (umm, "lately" meaning "since January" *g*).
( 6 McKay/Sheppard, 1 Ronon/Sheppard )

This fandom seriously needs a fic in which Stella fucks VECCHIO with a strap-on. Dirty, DIRTY, very NC-17 PWP. I'm just saying.
*off to sleep*
*off to sleep*
Hi, all. It's been what? Three weeks since I last posted? *crawls out from under a rock* Yeah. My news: new job is OK-ish, mostly; my dear relatives are fucking me in the brain; I'm depressed and freaking chirping birds, green grass, smiling people and spring in general irritate the hell out of me.
Anyway, back to fandom. New due South master list:
"fuck or die" fic (slash only)
Currently 22 stories (not counting sequels). What you’ll find there: stories in which some external forces (criminals, aliens, hypothermia, sex pollen, etc) compel the characters to have sex.
Enjoy! :)

Final (more or less) results of the "unusual format" list reorganisation:
- epistolary fic
- documentation!fic
- illustrated fic
- 'script form' fic
- poetry
- 'unusual format' fic (all the rest of the oddball fic *g*)
Also, have a wee due South rec. An excellent mood booster, satisfaction guaranteed in under 30 seconds:

::Shinyboots, I want MORE--::
Update on me: found new job, starting Monday; haven't read a single due South fic in almost 2 weeks, am busy with the suckage that is family problems; if you posted something that you think fits one of the lists - never fear, I still read f-list and bookmark all the stuff, so I'll add all the new fic to the lists next week (probably), after my monumental catch-up on reading.
ANYWAY.
I'm reorganising "unusual format" list and have several questions for you, guys:
1. Epistolary fic: told through the use of letters, journal entries, e-mails, notes, etc.
A "shopping list" story? Or, for example, Fraser making a list of pros and cons of hooking up with Ray? Would you consider it an epistolary fic?
2. There's a bunch of fic out there told through the use of images: comics, pic!fics, illustration!fic, etc. What collective name would you use for that kind of stories?
3. So far I have: epistolary fic, documentation!fic, that image thing fic, non-chronological fic.
I'm stuck on where to put stories like: various lists, fics in script form, quizzes, "Benton Fraser Operators manual", "Choose Your Own dS Porn Adventure", "Scrabble", "The Fraser Record (Excerpts)", etc.
Any ideas? Some other categories? Or do I just leave everything uncategorised as simply "unusual format"? Help me, oh wise f-list!

"Blackader II" and "Blackadder the Third" recs:
( 5 fics: slash and gen )
"Blackadder Goes Forth" recs next time!
( 5 fics: slash and gen )
"Blackadder Goes Forth" recs next time!
First, a small announcement: as of yesterday all dS poetry (slash&gen) is allocated in the separate list (it has been included in the "unusual format" list previously).
~~~~~~
Anyway, while reorganising, I ended up re-reading most of the poems. I don't have much time right now, so I'll just post links for some of my favourites, without quotes or anything. You'll have to believe me that these are pure gems. :) Here we go:

Well, I'm back after a week of no LJ and I have stuff to say:
1. Skip=700; 30 pieces bookmarked to read. CRAZY! You people are productive.
2. Paul Gross on The Hour. OMG! Yay! OMG! So smart! OMG! Pretty! OMG!
3. bitchinparty. I graciously forgive you all. Your childish excitement is beneath me. :) *stabbity stab stab I hate you all am full of poisonous envy* *g*
4. I quit my main job!!! Hurray! After 3 years of torture I'm free at last! *throws confetti* I don't have to see those people again EVER in my life!!! YAY! *dances* Um, now I have to find a new job, but I think I'll manage to do it in the next 2 or 3 weeks, so all is well. *dances some more*
5. I started reorganising master lists. The main goal is to make them more searchable. The job is only half done, though. There's gonna be much more tweaking (especially with such large lists as AU) and I haven't even started with some of the lists yet. Anyway, boring and time consuming, but I feel like it has to be done.
6. BLACKADDER is the new love of my life. There's currently a Blackadder rerun on one of the local cable channels, so all I did this week (besides work stuff and reorganising lists) is watch that show (well, re-watch, I first saw it about 10 years ago) and read Blackadder fanfic. I'm sort of obsessed, so expect recs and, possibly, a master list. Blackadder/Darling rocks my socks! Melchett/George is the match made in heaven! Baldrick is my hero! Yay turnips! \o/

There's currently a Blackadder rerun on one of the local cable channels, so all I did this week (besides work stuff and reorganising lists) is watch that show (well, re-watch, I first saw it about 10 years ago) and read Blackadder fanfic. I'm sort of obsessed, so expect recs and, possibly, a master list. Blackadder/Darling rocks my socks! Melchett/George is the match made in heaven! Baldrick is my hero! Yay turnips! \o/
A couple of days ago, in an attempt to cut down a bit my lj reading list (I honestly can't read on filter, I tried several times and it doesn't work for me, I just get annoyed), I stopped watching all the ficfind comms (except for the dS ones, they aren't spammy, plus they help me find new stuff for the lists). That's like over 10 comms: SGA, SPN, HP, House, etc. And voila! Suddenly, I got myself a very neat f-list, yay!
However, my euphoria didn't last long. Today I realised that I miss my crack, very much so. So now I have a separate journal for 'ficfind comms' watching purposes only. *facedesks repeatedly*
P.S. Good thing I had this old empty journal (previously used for tweaking with layouts) stashed away. *pets Basic account*

There's a new exciting author in due South! I'm sitting here grinning happily after just finishing reading this story:
The Minute After by
alex51324
Fraser/Kowalski, NC-17, ~41000 words, first time. Summary: Fraser kisses Ray. Ray kisses back. What happens next? Ray struggles with his feelings, confronts homophobia at work, and investigates a gay bashing.
An immensely satisfying read! While being new to dS, the author is obviously not a newbie to fandom and writing. Let's all hope she stays with us in Due South Land. :)
( Here's a little excerpt for you )
Go read, you won't regret it, I promise! And don't forget to leave comments!

On this day of epic LJ fail I bring you Buffyverse recs.
My love for Buffy/Angel fandom is second only to due South. Both of these fandoms were my first ones, I discovered slash through them. The pairing of my heart in BtVS is Spike/Xander (I just HEART them so much!), but you know me, I'll read anything as long as the writing is good. :)
Here are some short stories I enjoyed lately:
( 13 fics: Spike/Xander, Giles/Xander, Angel/Xander, Gunn/Wesley, Gunn/Andrew )

Whenever I need to cheer myself up a bit, I go and reread something funny with drunk/high Fraser*. Because stoned Fraser? Hilarious! :) Of course, there are some excellent drunk!Fraser stories that are seriously angsty or just plain sweet, but what I'm aiming for right now is humourous fic.
Here are my favourites (all taken from my "under the influence" list, so if you peruse it closely you won't find anything new for yourself here; but these stories are well worth rereading):
( 8 F/K and 2 F/V fics )
~~~
* OR I go and read about funny drunk RayK. But that's the topic for another time, I was in the mood for Fraser today. :)

Due South tomorrow! :)

Hot Fuzz is one of my happy-making small fandoms. I just ADORE it. If you haven't seen the movie yet, you SO should! Then you can join me in squee and giggles! :)

Darlings, the new location for all my master lists is here. This version of the lists is the one that will be updated from now on.
Please update your bookmarks.
This sticky post on top of my journal still works. The links there lead directly to the posts on the new site.
This isn't some anti-LJ action, just so we are clear. :) I'm just fed-up with the word limit for posts: it's becoming more and more bothersome as the lists are growing.

Yesterday I posted a set of recs of Nos4a2no9's due South fiction: my personal favourites, 15 stories I adore to bits. It's here at her birthday comm. Go read/reread and admire the awesomeness that is Nos!
~~~~~
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARLING!!! *smooches*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARLING!!! *smooches*
My crack is tasty. Stories I want someone to write me:
1. [Hi, Nos!] Post-CotW OT3 Fraser/Kowalski/Smithbauer. Fraser and RayK are in est. relationship, living in a cabin in Canada. Smithbauer is their fuck-buddy who visits regularly. No major angst, just schmoop and steamy sex.
2. Post-CotW OT4 Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio/Stella. Long, epic first time (or even better: established relationship with flashbacks to first time), angsty, funny, sweet, with 50 gazillion sex scenes and happily ever after. Fraser and Stella tolerating each other for Rays' sake at first, then bonding over [insert here]. Pegging! Stella fucking all 3 of them with a strap-on!
3. Post-movie Cesar/Vince or Cesar/Vince/Grace from Play It To The Bone. Anything. Really. Preferably NC-17. I’m dying here.
4. PWP: Ray Vecchio is a slut who wants to be fucked. All the time. By Kowalski and Fraser and dildoes. Pink dildoes. Fisting, double penetration, bondage. ETA: And panties! I forgot panties! There isn't enough Vecchio in panties in the world!
5. Hot Fuzz, Nicholas/Danny, first time, NC-17 with Inspector Angel as a bottom. Even better: several sex scenes with them switching. Danny is a sex god. Schmoopy, funny and tender. LONG. Plotty (optional). Coming out to the team and the whole village.
6. Due South/Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy crossover: Dief Is Our King. F/K aliens-made-them-do-it. Dief’s secret identity is revealed. Sci-fi AU.
7. Kidfic. Mpreg (optional). Post-apocalyptic survival epic. F/K or F/K/V. They must pass on the knowledge and save the human race from dying out!
8. SGA/HP crossover. Severus Snape/Rodney McKay. Snarktastic sex mystery: who’s gonna end up on top?
9. Lord Of The Rings. Legolas/Aragorn or Legolas/Boromir. NC-17. TOP LEGOLAS! Because OMG he’s a 2000 year old immortal being who kills orks for fun! It’s not his fault Orlando Bloom is so pretty that teenage girls swoon over him! He so would fuck all those humans! Properly! [seriously, it’s so, so hard to find LotR fic where Legolas isn’t a 13 y.o. girl! And he always bottoms! Wtf? *sigh* The last time I read anything in this fandom was like 2 years ago, but I still dream about non-girly Legolas…]
10. Due South/House crossover. Gen. Turnbull gets sick with some mysterious illness. Benton Fraser accompanies him to the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey where they meet Gregory House. Personalities collide. *brain explodes*
I think that’s probably enough for now. :)

So, F/K/V list got too big and isn't exactly searchable. I'm thinking about dividing it in some way into a couple of parts. The question is, on what principle? My ideas so far:
1. first time F/K/V / established relationship F/K/V [am liking this variant the most]
or
2. based on length: shorter / longer stories
or
3. takes place in Chicago / takes place in Canada
or
4. ??? something else
If you use this list, what would you find more handy?

Something is not right with me. I just spent an hour searching the net for "Play It To The Bone" fic. I'm dying to find me some Cesar/Vince. Haven't found even a single one. WOE. And the thing is, I saw this movie like 4 years ago. And today it just popped into my mind APROPOS OF NOTHING while I was doing laundry! And boom! I'm obsessed! *sigh*
A tiny one this time:
dS: bodyswitch fic (slash only)
Only 10 stories so far. Please, don't confuse bodyswitch with genderswitch (though they may be combined, e.g. Isis' "Being Ray Kowalski").
Conclusion: there's a serious lack of Fraser/Vecchio bodyswap in the world. No, more like: there's a serious lack of bodyswap in the world. Or my google-fu fails me. :)

Two older stories, both written for the ds_flashfiction Fuck or Die challenge:
Cracked by
mousewrites
Fraser/Kowalski, NC-17, 4420 words, first time, humour.
Excerpt: Organic eggs, Fraser said, Big money, he said. And then he used words like rescue, and for the good of mankind, and civic duty, and somehow we ended up here, trapped in a tiny airplane, surrounded by stolen eggs and mean looking, scruffy men who, apparently, enjoyed a good peep show.
Death or Dishonour by
msgordo
Fraser/Kowalski, PG-13, 2350 words, first time, humour.
Excerpt: “So what’ll it be, boys?” Hairy Louie smirked at the two figures bound before him and played absently with the gold tassels hanging from his nipples. “Death or dishonour?”
Also, Demonic Kitty! I so love that comm. :)

Master lists in the works as of today:
- dS/6degrees crossovers
- dS/other fandoms crossovers
- dS "fuck or die" fic
- dS "growing older together" fic
- Jeeves/Wooster rated R-NC17
- dS bodyswitching fic
- dS "The Assbabies List"
...
Note to self: CONCENTRATE ON ONE FREAKING THING AT A TIME AND FREAKING FINISH IT. YOU DON'T NEED NO STINKING NEW PROJECTS.
...
dS lists I'm NOT working on right now (just some ideas I have): someone (Welsh, Kowalski's mum, Frannie, etc - i.e. some outsider) finds out our boys are sexing each other (how do you shorten this description? it's not exactly "coming out" or "outed" fic...), Dief!fic, car!sex fic, stakeout, marriage/wedding, vacation, Florida!fic.
Any other ideas? Because, you know, I'm always on the lookout (despite what I said above *g*). Tell me what's interesting for you!

-
ru_cats_daily - absolutely gorgeous kitty pictures (the comm is russian, but you don't need to know the language to watch it).
- Entitlement? In a sense - great meta on fic titles by
painless_j (slightly HP oriented, but overall applies to any fandom).
- Red-Hot and Filthy Library Smut - orgasmic and totally work safe! :)
- Overheard comms can be educational! - that's my personal revelation (I had no idea about this "zee" business 'cause we are taught British English here).
- Stephen Fry breaks arm filming in Brazil and later posts a picture of the break on his blog - my poor darling... *hugs him*
- The Letter, The Lovely S.F., Mein Handy, The Acropolis where the Parthenon is - some of the numerous reasons why Stephen Fry is my biggest celebrity crush.
- one, two, three - Daniel Radcliffe is just too cute for words.
