{ fandom and reading and daffodils and stuff. }

[the_muppet]

1) work: Work still sucks. I've booked 4 days off at Easter, which is actually a lot for me (I usually just book odd days off here and there) and what with the Easter bank holidays, I actually get 10 days off though I only need to book 4. Not bad really.

2) h5o: I still need some H5O recs that focus on Steve/Danno first time, or them getting together, so any of those recs would be much appreciated. I've not read much H5O yet and would like to read more, but I think reading a couple of 'first time' fics first would help me get into it more. If that makes sense.

3) paper legends: First mandatory writer check-in this Friday so we'll see how many of the 183 writers who signed up are still in it!

4) shows: I am so far behind on most of my shows right now. Am up to date with H5O (obviously), and have just watched the last two episodes of Being Human which were fantastic and I am so glad I stay spoiler-free for everything as those last two episodes I was literally on the edge of my seat for!

4) daffodils: Some daffodil pics I took a week or so ago, to (hopefully) brighten your morning:











Hope you're all doing okay; boring entry is boring ♥

Today I felt sudden need to read Steve/Danny first time, too! I got few fics and hopefully I'll read them in the evening. I'll let you know if they are any good :)

*hugs*

PS. Pretty, pretty daffodils!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I're read a few Steve/Danno fics now and really enjoyed them, but I jsut think I'd 'get it' more if I could read some first-time ones too, if that makes sense?

*HUGS*

[from-the-corner.livejournal.com]

For me it doesn't have to make sense. I'm a total sucker for a first time fics. Given first time and established relationship I'll usually choose the former :)

[from-the-corner.livejournal.com]

Btw - try AO3 filtered for H5O/first time. This is simple enough search and it shouldn't give you anything else. That's how I get my fics.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Will do - thank you ♥

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hey hun,

One of my flisties writes H50. azziria. Though I've just noticed that it's locked so I can't link the fics. :( Though maybe she posts to other comms?

Man.. that was all particularly useless info wasn't it?! /o\

Hope you find some fics hun. :)

I haven't watched any Being Human yet - but it's on my list of shows to watch. I've heard it's very good.

Yay for Easter holidays!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Hey lovely =)

I'm on the H5O newsletter which links to loads of fics, but I specifically want some first-time ones, rather than having to trawl through them all, so I'm hoping someone can rec something =)

Being Human is fantastic and I'd highly recommend it - try and stay spoiler free too, it's always better that way.

*hugs*

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Does the H50 fandom have a storyfinders comm? the spn one is awesome for finding fic. Though I'm sure if it did you'd have gone there.... /o\

Don't mind me... it's clearly getting too late for me to think straight.

And I will stay spoiler free - thanks for the heads up. :)

*smish*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure, I'll have to check it out =)

Ooooh daffydillys - aren't the simply gorgeous. I remember a letter in the local paper - YEARS ago, but this bloke was complaining about all the daffs that had been planted along the roads. I remember thinking "you miserable bugger" and since then I just can't find it in myself to relate to anyone who hates daffys. When you get those iron grey skies just before a storm and yet the ground is covered with this wonderful carpet of bright sunshine - *sigh*

There are a few H5-0 fans on my flist, I'll see if anyone has been posting recs, but I think I remember someone saying that this fandom is one of the few that seems to be mainly on the Archive of Our Own - I might be mistaken though - I'll link you if I find any.

And hey, look what a lot I had to say to your "boring" post - tch - stop that! Always nice to know how you are...

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I adore daffodils and anyone who says they aren't lovely is just wrong!

I just had a comment above saying to check out AO3 so I'll definitely do that later, and if you come across any yourself I'd love to have them; thank you =)

♥

[el1ie.livejournal.com]

giandujakiss has a list here

Sadly, I had a quick load up of the stories, but they don't say if they're fist time or not, sorry, I think there are a couple on there from A03, might give you an author to search through.

destina has a couple of recs here and here and also in that post there's a link to another rec list over at DW, which again, I haven't checked out, but it might be worth checking out.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thank you SO much ♥

[el1ie.livejournal.com]

OMG! *facepalm* - I've just re-read my post - epic spelling fail! *cough*, so sorry about that, but you're welcome to the lists and if I come across any others I'll be sure to let you know and try not to repeat that!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I didn't notice that first time, but I do now you've mentioned it! HILARIOUS!

[coffeejunkii.livejournal.com]

i added about three fics to my memories under H50 and they are all first-time fics :)

the daffodils are really pretty!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Ooh, lovely! Thank you =)

[nimielle.livejournal.com]

That is REALLY cool for your Easter vacation! I've decided not to work at Easter this year (we are open during the entire holiday, even mondays) because I worked every day for Easter last year and this year I am going to visit a mate of mine in Holland instead. HAH! Hope you get to do something fun and exciting with your days off! ♥

OMG! Those are some UTTERLY fantastic daffodils! They are starting to blossom over here as well. When I go back to work, after my trip to Birmingham, I'll take some pictures for you, they are EVERYWHERE! ♥

Love you! ♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

It'll certainly be nice to have all that time off, particularly with how things are at work right now.

I adore daffodils ♥

*hugs*

[padfootie.livejournal.com]

More daffodils! ♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Of course =) ♥

[valika56.livejournal.com]

Daffodils! They are so pretty. I also love them, especially after the long and cold winter. They bring me the spring somehow, even when it is still cold outside.

Having a long Easter holiday is awesome!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I adore daffodils and will be very sad when they're all gone.

I'm not good with having a lot of time off (yes, I know I'm weird) but with work and life in general being what it is right now, I'm kind of looking forward to it.

*HUGS*

PS Thank you for using one of my own favourite icons! I have made SO MANY M/A ones but that cap has always been one I've loved most =)

H50, etc....

[ms-3m.livejournal.com]

M...

I don't read H50 fic but I like this writer's other fandom stuff:
http://janedavitt.livejournal.com/tag/hawaii%20five-0

Sorry for the not-so-neat, no-nice-embedded links comment but I'm doing this in the text box.

Daffys are lovely!

Did I step over the line? :-/

Re: H50, etc....

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for the link - I think I remember her name from the SGA fandom, so I'll check it out.

Not at all, and I'm so sorry you'd think that - my fault totally that you do, I know I should have got back to you sooner after that comment, and I will, I promise. Just, the situation (as you know) makes it difficult sometimes to even do simple things like emails, etc. I'm really sorry and also really grateful for the input you gave me.

I'm so glad that you're getting a nice, long break :-) I just had spring break, and it was very much needed, and I'm feeling so much better after! (Both emotionally and physically - relaxing and catching up on sleep is a fabulous thing!) Of course... I'm also kind of wishing it was Spring Break all the time ;-)

Love the Daffodil pictures! They are some a my favorite types of flowers. My mom grows them in the garden, and I always look forward to them sprouting. Seeing them pop out of the ground always marks the true beginning of spring for me :-)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you've had a lovely break and are feeling so much better for it ♥

I stil have that mini daffodil you sent me, forever ago, you probably don't even remember! It's pressed inside one of the large pictures hanging on my bedroom wall =)

*hugs*

[vita-candeo.livejournal.com]

I do remember send it to you :-) It was one of the last ones of the season. I'm glad you liked it so much :-D

**hugs back**
