fumbling towards

First proper snow of winter! Weather.com insists we're only getting an estimated three inches, but at the bus stop this morning I would have guessed it was about five. Snow always puts me in a ridiculously good mood. And then I celebrate by listening to the Victoria's Secret instrumental music and lots of Sarah McLachlan. Shut up, it's great.

I've also been watching Lost Girl! I do not feel really fannish about it, but it's just so lovely and stupid and cute. Our two main characters are these great women who are BFFs and solve crime; I would ship them a lot except that there are also other good canonical femslash ships, and also a werewolf detective. A werewolf freaking detective. It's a lot of things I really love, like silly and nerdy and full of pretty people, and I think quality of life is improved by watching it.

Something I am feeling fannish about is Sarah Rees Brennan's Demon's Lexicon books, which I have finally, finally gotten around to reading. I'm in the middle of Demon's Covenant at the moment, and I am so ridiculously in love. The second I am done, I am tracking down all the fic! And then probably writing some! Because I ship EVERYTHING. (Well, not everything -- I mean, if there's Mae/Jamie I don't want to read it. But possibly my OTP is Nick/Alan. Shut up shut up I know.)

I guess the point of this post is that I have hilarious, ridiculous taste. Just to prove it beyond reasonable doubt, have a link to the University of Oregon all-male a cappella group On the Rocks performing Bad Romance. With dance routines. It is amazing, and watching it makes me grin hard enough to make my face hurt.

DEMON'S LEXICON. I have vast love for that book/series. By which I mean I've only read the first one thus far, which is TRAGIC AND I NEED TO READ THE SECOND, because they are SO SO GOOD and I am going to stop now because I already devoted an entire post to talking about how much I love that book. IT IS SO GOOD.

Also, MY GOD that a capella Bad Romance is a thing of beauty and wonder. *basks*

IT IS THE BEST THING IN THE UNIVERSE. OH NICK AND ALAN. <333 (Your post fills me with vast joy, by the way! And now I feel a bit guilty for going "I want ALL THE NICK/ALAN" but mostly I just want all the stories about Nick and Alan loving each other forever, and I know fandom.) Demon's Covenant is also lovely! There is trouble in both sibling paradises, as you do when you need a plot, and I am so anxious for all of them to be okay! What I love most about it, though, is that it's from Mae's POV, and it's a delight getting to know her better.

I've listened to/watched that a capella Bad Romance vid at least five times now. :D

Do not feel guilty about wanting all the Nick/Alan! I mean, just because the exclusively-sibling-type love is what I see it as doesn't mean it's the only valid reading! Because Nick and Alan loving each other forever is so very much what the book is about. And....fandom's tendencies in this regard is exactly why I'm not likely to go particularly near the fic for these books. OH FANDOM DON'T WORRY I LOVE YOU ANYWAYS.

I definitely need to read Demon's Covenant, though now I am very worried for the characters. THEY BETTER ALL BE OKAY at the end of Demon's Surrendur, is all I'm saying.
