Busy, busy, busy (and it ain't gettin' better)
Hey, ho! I'm still alive and reading!
RL has been a bitch--a death in the family, houseguests (expected and unexpected), end of year stuff for the kids, and at least one new job for me for the summer. I've also got some health concerns that I hope to have straighted out soon (or at least identified).
What am I reading?
I'm thrilled to be on both ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
lit_gal and jans_intentions 's personal journals and am reading much juicy stuff there. It's all flocked and ranges from original fic to The Sentinel to AU Joss-verse. If you know either one of these fine writers I encourage you to stay in touch with them and friend their "other" journals. Their writing never fails to impress.
My personal kink is BDSM and D/s. Not necessarily whips and chains (although that's hot in the right setting), but specifically loving d/s relationships. If this makes your panties wet as it does me, don't miss:
Leather Bound by elyxer. She just posted the last chapter on her lj, but up to there chapters can be found here. The characters are Brian and Justin from Queer as Folk, which I know zero about. I am d/l season one right now, but her warnings say that she's not a slave to cannon. It's hot, wonderful, real-feeling writing and explores different kinds of gay d/s relationships. There will be a sequel, so now's the time to friend her journal!
If you're a fan of QaF and BDSM, don't miss this page of stories at BJfic.net (where I originally found Leather Bound).
I was at a loss last week; too tired and ticked off to write or do anything constructive. I went back to The Titanium Whip Awards and read fandoms (and original fic) that I'd skipped before. I went through every story on the Extreme BDSM page and was very happy. Sometimes I think it's best to NOT know the characters. Then you can enjoy the pleasure, pain, and submission without worrying about cannon. Heck I read an X-files story that really pushed my buttons (and I didn't know which one was Mulder and which one was Scully--Scullly only makes a cameo appearance in the fic ;-) Geez, I can't even figure out what the name of it is. What good am I?
Sorry. I'll keep better track for next time.
