5 things.

1) boxofmagic: Tomorrow is the launch date for all the fics on [livejournal.com profile] boxofmagic and I was already ridiculously excited before I read some of the previews that have been posted over the last week. Is it Wednesday yet?

2) torchwood: The last week or so I've been rewatching Torchwood series 1 & 2 and really enjoying it as it's ages since I last saw those episodes. Now up to about episode 8 (I think) of series 2, won't be rewatching series 3 and I will really miss my cracky show. It's amazing actually how much I'd forgotten and it's been great remembering all Ianto's one-liners =)

3) harry potter: I spent a ridiculous amount of time yesterday reading through the older posts of [livejournal.com profile] dracolicious/[livejournal.com profile] boywholives so I could better understand the recaps of [livejournal.com profile] coffeejunkii. And ridiculous amount of time = hours and hours. I'll never catch up on all those posts but I did focus on reading from Valentine's Day through to May of this year, and will probably continue on from there when I have the time. Addictive =)

4) new merlin comm: The lovely [livejournal.com profile] mrs_leary has launched a new Merlin comm: [livejournal.com profile] merlinlocations! The aim of this community is to share information about and images of the locations used by the BBC television show Merlin, to help you visit them either virtually or actually! All are welcome to join the community, and post with their own knowledge or experience of the locations. Go check it out =)

5) merlin fic rec:

The Play's the Thing by [livejournal.com profile] shinybug | { R | Merlin/Arthur }
(This was amazingly adorable and ridiculously funny - I lol'd so many times)

*hugs all*

[livejournal.com profile] merlinlocations -- very, very cool! It's significantly deepened my drooly hankering to visit all these gorgeous places, though I doubt I'll ever get to go. Damn this whole... living in other countries thing. :/

Re 1: After you read all the stories, I'm expecting a recommendation of a few you think are best. I'm too "tied up" in Torchwood/HP/ST fics, to go through them all myself, so I'm really counting on your recs here =)

You heard they're going to be making a season 4 of Torchwood, right? So ridiculous. I will not be tuning in.

"Of course, bananas are far more interesting."

I'm going to try to email you later today, because I read two of those stories and OMG. So, yes. An email later, hopefully.

*hugs*

It's so ironic how S3 of Torchwood was the only season that I bought myself. Right now my brother has it and I am sooo going to get ridd of it again as soon as I can. Hmpf. =(

I really want to reread Harry Potter soon. Maybe once school starts back up I'll get around to it. xD

and TORCHWOOD. <3 I love that show.

I can't wait for tomorrow either! I'm in some serious need of Merlin fics - I don't think I've read any Merlin fic in over two months. Been waiting for [livejournal.com profile] boxofmagic to read anything. \o/

And thanks for the rec - awesome!

Just dropping by to give you a hug :) *squeezes*

@3 - I got this really random idea tonight sorta kinda like that... we'll see if I can stop procrastinating long enough to write it *lol*

*hugs* Are you feeling better?

I just clicked on the boxofmagic link. Good lord. I didn't realize what it was. I'm going to be in fic heaven even though I'm already behind on my fanfic reading. But, yeah. Heaven :D

About TW...When I heard they are going to do a season 4, I was about as excited as going to the dentist o.0 It really sucks because I used to love that show so much. But that's a great idea to watch the first 2 seasons and bask in the former glory :)

I'm going to join the merlinlocations comm. It sounds like a great idea! And I love mrs_leary. She's one of my favorite authors in the fandom! Well, I guess the rps fandom. I can't remember reading any Merlin fics by her. She's lovely.

Thank you for the Merlin rec. Another one I don't believe I've read yet. I'm so far behind. *cries*

P.S. Hope you're feeling better *hugs*
