Vid Rec; Something Rotten

There's a music video of my hands-down favorite song from Something Rotten: Hard to be the Bard.

Watch for the lyrics or for Christian Borle wearing little more above the waist than a neck ruff. I'm not judging.

Poll time!

So, there's a fan author I want to send an "I really love your fic" email to.

...only I want to add a line along the lines of "I'm very impressed with your level of detail and world building and I am not easily impressed; I've been reading fanfic for almost 40 years and used to be a book critic." And I can't tell if the natural reaction to that comment would be "Wow. That's really something; I'm flattered" or "Wow. What a blowhard; she's flattering herself."

Fic rec: Sherlock

I haven't read the newsletter in so long that I despair of even finding a place to start catching up or, with the exception of a few authors, finding anything worth the effort; I remember the time I checked 75 stories in a row and hated them all.

That said, Big Brother is Watching You has hit the rec list and I'm laughing myself sick at the mildly Johnlocky, massively cracky story about John and Sherlock trapped in the Big Brother house.

Gemi and John spend two hours on the sofa talking about daytime talkshows, until Sherlock sits down next to John and starts talking about putrefaction rates.

Gemi leaves after Sherlock uses the phrase 'liquifying tissue'.

John appears to be equally interested in both conversations.
