☞ Interesting survey at http://survey.scimitarsmile.com/

☞ I finally read Side Stories, the Dresden Files short stories book. And I really, really wish Butcher would not write in the PoV of people other than Harry. ( Cut for spoilers. )

☞ Mostly over the shock I got last Sunday. Still haven't replied to the e-mail, but I will show up at the meeting tomorrow and talk with the others. Hopefully I will successfully attack Neil's behaviour with my passive-aggressive, defense-focussed style. If it doesn't work - well, no more meeting with other hobby writers in RL. Probably won't stay as long because I will need anti-anxiety meds that only last two hours too. I hate being afraid of people I like.

Okay, so it took me a terribly long time to work through all the Yuletide fic, and I wanted to write only one rec post. In case you haven't figured it out: this is it. I'll start with my gift, which is a lovely fic about Main Hoon Na a movie that is the ultimate crack.

Okay, I've not yet read all of my gifts because half of them are in the Yuletide Madness Collection. I got six gifts in total, which is AWESOME, and the stories that I could read so far are AWESOME as well, even if my comments maybe aren't the most enthusiastic. If you're reading this dear mystery writers, it's not your fault, it's mine. I suck at writing glowing comments.

So here are the stories:

Ghoul Friday, Dresden Files, from Thomas' point of view. "Thomas does a lot for Harry, but entertaining cranky wardens might be going too far. Set somewhere between the novels Small Favor and Turn Coat." It illustrates Thomas' feelings for Harry and his trouble dealing with his Hunger very well!
Moving Out (and On), Dresden Files. "Ramirez discovers Thomas has easy access through Harry's wards. Awkwardness ensues," which is a very good summary, and the best about this story is the part that's between the lines, in my opinion!
Like Taking Candy from a Baby, Dresden Files. "Charlie had heard rumors about Warden Dresden, but he never expected this." Thomas scares a Warden. Very funny!
Carmel, Kings. "Jack sat out on the veranda sipping his coffee and watching the sun rise." A sweet short piece on Jack and Michelle before they return home after their father's death.
Like a Virgin, Velvet Goldmine, which is not exactly what I wished for, but incredibly good anyway. "Arthur has a chance encouter with Curt at a record signing that may just change the course of both their lives." Too cute for words.
Promise, Let Dai. "Jaehee looked up and couldn't believe his eyes." Jaehee and Dai meet again. Finally!

Updated to include Yuletide Madness stories. Also: My recipient loved my story. ♥

I almost forgot that, according to my posting schedule, I have to post today. Constant headaches and Turn Coat will do that to you. I still haven't finished the book yet (stupid headaches!), but I really like it so far. Jim Butcher even poked fun at the horrendously wrong German he used a few books back. (Die Lied der Erlking? Really, what was he thinking?) And he mentioned Bremen while doing so! Seeing Bremen mentioned in foreign fiction always makes me ridiculously happy. (

sevilemar, I hope I didn't wake you up with my text message full of squee, if I did, sorry.) I have an idea for a drabble to ficlet sized story based on that.

Other than that: #amazonfail is extremely unfunny. I think a of the books on my shelf are amazonranked. And others are by authors whose other books are. One of those books, Gender Trouble, I bought for university and a lot of the authors Judith Butler quotes are affected as well, it seems. I bought them all via Amazon. Well, I'll look for other alternatives now. Which I guess they will notice because so far I bought most of my books on Amazon.

A few links:

A list of the books. (It's more or less impossible to keep track.)
