I really want to read more fantasy/sci-fi books. I know they are totally two different genres but they are two genres I read too little. And with fantasy I really don't want to read like "knight fantasy" where a knight goes off to fight a dragon with a magic sword or something. So therefore, I turn to you, flist, do you know any good books about vampires, time travel, ghosts, spirits, faeries... whatever. Do you know any good ones? What can you recommend. I really don't feel like reading books which seems like those you can read time and time again. You, that have covers that seem to be picked up from Ivanhoe and basically contains the same plot with a kingdom etc. I'd rather read a "one in a million" kind of book.

Suggestions?

Rec me Supernatural fic recs. Gen or Dean-centric fics would be love :D (no Sam/Dean other than in a brotherly sort of way because... I'm not that brave just yet) This is my attempt to get my squee back for the Supernatural fandom (will also be watching episodes :D)

I really feel as though I should have some Ninth Doctor icons. Does anyone know where I can find some good ones? Also, I bring a couple of recs:

Woolly Jumpers, Choices, and Lemonade. 9th/Rose. Post-The Unquiet Dead. Wonderful characterisation in this.
Fate. 9th/Rose. Post-World War Three. A bit about why Rose was asked by the Doctor to travel with him.

I have a bunch of others but I'd thought I'd rec as I went along.

Also, I'm slowly but surely reading through Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. But I'm so sadly behind that it's insane. I'm really trying to block my time in that fandom as far away from my mind as possible because honestly, it scares me.

I have this essay that is really coming along great. I absolutely don't think that it will be as impossible as I originally thought.

Also, I'm starting to sketch on a fan fiction that I hope [livejournal.com profile] supersonica will write with me *hugs* It was a long time ago since I spoke to most of you, but I hope that will change soon.

Btw, new layout!! [livejournal.com profile] aliasagent [livejournal.com profile] aliasagent [livejournal.com profile] aliasagent [livejournal.com profile] aliasagent [livejournal.com profile] aliasagent

This new colouring techinique makes me uncertain of my iconing skills (or lack of them)

Are these pretty? )

Fics/Clips recs of any kind would be soooooooo appreciated :D I'm bored and I wanna read good fics. I haven't got the nerve to search on my own. The fics I find just makes me wanna hurl.

Just home over lunch. I just ate tomatoe (that's the correct spelling, right? My brain freezes out on some simple words) soup and I'm NEVER eating it again. It tasted like ketchup. I'm sure my mom overslept, realizing it was five minutes till we would arrive, emptied the ketchup container, filled it out with some water and put it in the microwave for a minute.

THAT'S how it tasted. Although I did survive. Tasted a lot better with a sandwich in my hand. LOL.

Saw the Notebook. I cried like a baby. It was simple yet romantic and Rachel McAdams is just adorable. Although I felt there was something missing in the movie and I'm not sure what. Also, James Marsden was awesome in it as well. Loved his character <3333. Making icons later, however there's a real lack in James Marsden caps from there. Anyone got any?

Soon going back again to work :( Although it aint that bad. It's just this heat is driving me nuts. Also having your period makes me sort of paranoid in a way. Also, my pants get all wet from watering the flower beds. Although it goes slowly with that, I do it so brilliantly.

It's so sad how I think about fan fic reviews and fan fics in general when I'm doing my work. I'm obsessed. Especially with anything X-Men related. Speaking of which - do you have any fan fiction recommendations that are just soooo good? I mean, fics that are completely awesome? Any fandom works, as long as I've seen it, and I'm (I'm so ashamed!) is actually sort of interested in reading a good Kitty/Pyro story. Just to see what people like about that pairing (even though it's so very few). *hides from the tomatoes that are thrown at me for uttering these words*

Btw: [livejournal.com profile] _byakko I uploaded my mood theme on nowings because my other host didn't seem to be working. Do you mind?
