4 things.

1) sick & grouchy: I've been feeling pretty crappy for the last week or so (horrible period) plus just constant pain and headaches and lack of sleep and way, way too many tablets just to try and keep going - so basically I feel like pants today and am back to hiding out in a hoodie and baseball cap and hoping people at work will just leave me the hell alone. Which they are, mostly. But I really don't like feeling like this - when it drags on and on I end up feeling bleh and I just don't like that, so am hoping it all just goes the hell away really soon. Plus there's lots of stuff going on with my youngest brother... but I really ought to put that on the whiny filter and shut up now.

Okay - whine over =)

2) vid the grid: The lovely starrylizard has launched a new community called vid_the_grid: it's based on the numerous fic prompt table communities that you can find all over LJ. But why should authors have all the fun? In this community, the idea is to extend the fun to vidders too. Here's the guidelines and faq and just go check it out - she's done loads of work in putting it all together and it should be great =)

3) merlin fic recs:

♥a new rec♥ Every Time We Touch by betty_lynne | Bradley doesn't understand Colin. He blames it on the brogue. Colin doesn't understand Bradley. He blames it on the Buffy. But every time they touch, Colin gets the feeling that this is right. They'll probably never understand each other, but they might just learn to understand what love feels like. { PG-13 | Bradley/Colin }
(I just loved this to bits.)

♥an old rec♥ Treason to Us by janne_d | Arthur finds out. And he does not react well. { PG-13 | Merlin/Arthur }
(I recced this ages ago when I first read it, but I re-read it last week and as it's one of my all-time favourites I'm reccing it again - it's just wonderful and won't take you that long to read and honestly, it'll be time well spent - so go read if you haven't already.)

4) birthdays: I seem to miss quite a few people's birthdays and often with a few of you I'll want to send a card or whatever, but even with LJ notifications I'm not left with enough time - so if you want to tell me when your birthday is, that'd be great =)

Hope you're all doing okay ♥

*hugs*

It does seem funny that you're okay with RPF and not so much with Merlin/Arthur =) The Delicious stuff is pretty thoroughly bookmarked though so hopefully you'll be able to navigate it all okay and find whatever you like =)

I will, however, put together a list of my favourites just for you which I'll email to you at some point, how does that sound? I do remember you saying before about your mum reading your LJ so I'll make sure to remember not to put anything over there ;)

Things to know: I can read angst if it has a purpose and ends happily. (Not torture just for the sake of torture.) Death fics are STUPID. I like happy/fluffy/cuddly fics and fics o' domestic bliss. I really freaking love AU's.

I totally agree with all of that, so should be easy to find a bunch of stuff for you from my favourites that you'll enjoy - I'll get working on it tonight.

Go watch Merlin some more! =D

*hugs lots*
