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 was one of my Yuletide requests! And I asked for Nick-Alan interaction, because though I do not ship them in an overtly sexual sense, they are the emotional center of those books for me and if someone could write convincing fluff, or interaction of any kind, that would make my life. Both the sibling pairs are so awesome, really - I OT4 them. Sin can come along, too.

There's bound to be a lot of Yuletide fic this year, too - I saw requests all over the letters post. \o/

Oh, and! The only fic for the fandom I've read so far is this story, but fortunately it is completely awesome and lovely. You should read it. Nick-Alan (or Nick/Alan - it's pretty much at the level of the books), post-Lexicon, fluffy. At least, as fluffy as any story with Nick Ryves as a POV character can be.
