Laughter Through Tears

You know, Alistair, there are plenty of orphans in Orzammar who wish they had a pile of hay. Sniff.

You and Jon Snow, I swear.

The octopus is the secret winner of Yuletide. In other news this year's Yuletide reminded me of some recs from last year's that I forgot (naturally) to post about. Tonight I will try to compile a proper recs post, give or take.

One funny thing about looking at Yuletide fic summaries, is that it gives me a strange urge to write fics that I will never ever write in fandoms that I'm not even really in. For example: the Deb-centric Dexter fic I'm not writing, a whole bunch of snippet ideas of Game of Thrones, and various other ludicrosities.

But really, the fact that the Kushiel books don't even have a teeny, tiny kink meme makes me so sad.

Let's go meta: Rec me recs lists of Yuletide fics.

There are so many Things going on that I have to post even though I should be studying. Perhaps I'll intersperse my observations through this post?

So, Game of Thrones. I have so many thoughts, so many. My main two are: I can smell bait; and, way to hang a cliff, jackasses. How do I make it through the next almost a year until season two happens? Assuming they can bring about such an elaborate production for a regular, yearly season. Good thing I have other fandoms to distract myself with, I could never deal with fandom monogamy.

( So much rambling. )

Well, this is already ludicrously long enough, rambling enough, and took *glances* over an hour to put together, so I'm just gonna hide most of this behind a cut and go ahead and post it.
