It took me a couple of hours on Tuesday to catch up on lj. Final total: skip=320, open tabs when done=36

Behold! Stuff!

DS ficlets from estrella30, including Ray/Ray, Fraser/Ray, and Frannie fic

Speaking of Frannie fic, cmshaw's Dearest Frannie, Maggie/Frannie, is succinct and sweet.

speranza's got a new DS fic, too, Bar None. And I love how very human her Fraser is.

And an interesting DS snippet from rageprufrock. Gotta love fandoms where ghost-fic is canon...

If her Mind Be Writ, is a lovely epistolary lit fic, from Ophelia to Juliet.

crack_van has a Pirates of the Caribbean reccer this month! Yay! Colours is a fic gakked from the aforementioned. Captain Jack Sparrow is his usual madcap, charming self. And magpie-like, his memories are stored in bits of bright colour. Slashy, het, and gen bits throughout.

A goofy little bit of PotC fic, Hanging Day, in which Norrington encounters some... monkey-related difficulties.

brighidestone has her SGA (and SG1) fic all up here!

And here are some drabbles from advent_atlantis.

Speaking of SGA, resonant8 has a new fic out, Advantage. "..and now Major Sheppard thinks he's my slave, and just please, please tell me you can undo this, Carson, because I can't have him tagging after me like an oversized kid brother..." Hee. Really, this one was inspired by the slavefic challenge on sga_flashfic and is a lot of fun.

Women Authors Rule Iran, a brief article on the increasing number and popularity of female authors in Iran.

Spock the Sith Slayer, a Wired article on fanfic. Better than some, but still.

Here's an interesting article from the NY Times on bisexuality.

Also, pollution-fighting trees!

Here's an article from the Wall Street Journal on teen books, and increasingly edgy content.

Potter helps kids learn new words: A new dictionary is using Harry Potter and other top kids' book titles to help children with reading and writing.

Also, this is kind of cool. Plant a Harry Potter Garden With Your Children.

mimisgrotto posted this absolutely too-cute-for words commercial for... er. Some magazine. The Observer's music magazine. But that's not important. What is important is the sheer adorableness of all the SD bands. More on the artist's site.

A Librarian's Guide to Etiquette. Contains entries like " Salary, On Accepting A Really Low One Because You're Too Wussy To Ask For What You're Really Worth."

This blog entry is a great summary of some of the high points of being a librarian.

Annnd... all that's left are three or four long fic I haven't read yet. I've been making vague gestures at a con report. We'll see if I get the initiative and impetus to finish it.

Shoot. I read a YA book a few weeks ago that I was going to recommend to you, and now I can't remember what it was called.
