Being with the Aged Parents always makes for a busy life. Which means links for you instead of ramblings:


Why Stephen King is awesome. Read the comments as well. It's not that I like every King book, but I like a lot of them, for many of the reasons given here.


Iron Man:

Aaaaand one of my favourite writers from other fandoms has been inspired by the movie. His Girl Friday. Or Saturday. Maybe Sunday. is a delightful take by hackthis on Pepper's job-hunting until she ends up with Tony Stark as a boss.

Battlestar Galactica:

We realized we had tricked mortality: short, terse and fantastic, a great take on Laura Roslin and the Six model nicknamed Natalie in the most recent episode, Guess what's coming to Dinner.

Wish no more: this one picks up another moment and character constellation from that episode and takes on Gaius Baltar and Felix Gaeta.
