vintagefic. for fanfic set before 1939. so what's that include? master & commander, sherlock holmes, jeeves & wooster, jane austen and georgette heyer, gone with the wind.

master and commander rec

prizes over discovery by keiko. the best part is that there are two sequels still to read on the morrow.

::squashes urge to write crossovers:: it's so tempting when two universes you love intersect--like this one and the regency novels set in the napoleonic war. how many returning navy and army heroes have i read? ahh. i could do the grand sophy mayhap. (which i tried to lend to wax, and she refused it. because it was romance. she said from the cover it looked like a bodice-ripper and didn't fully believe me when i said that it wasn't. but it isn't, really. it's a comedy of manners. heyer is lovable for witty dialogue and not for bodice ripping. i mean, if you read heyer for bodice ripping you're going to be sorely disappointed because the bodices barely come up at all, certainly not in any very suggestive way.)

new sherlock holmes slash community

started by the talented dana_kujan: cox_and_co.

Somewhere in the vaults of the bank of Cox and Co., at Charing Cross, there is a travel-worn and battered tin dispatch-box with my name, John H. Watson, M.D., Late Indian Army, painted upon the lid. It is crammed with papers, nearly all of which are records of cases to illustrate the curious problems which Mr. Sherlock Holmes had at various times to examine.

master/commander sorta rec

admiration by cruisedirector--pg. had a few moments that were sweet enough to make me go mushy, so if you're seeking to feed an addiction, you know, go for it.

not going on the recs page because of some other issues which i feel demonstrate a lack of understanding of the period far too clealry.

bend it like beckham at first glance

bend it like beckham is more... um... het than you would expect. (we've paused it halfway through, sadly.)

i want the soundtrack.

keira knightley is so... loveable as a wild sixteen year old butch tomboy. with her little ribs! she should do more lesbian flicks. she's good at it, even if she's staunchly het.

making them lesbian would be 'over the top'?

::murders her dad in cold blood::

bend it like beckham soundtrack?

would anyone who has the bend it like beckham soundtrack like to burn it for me in exchange for something else? (like another cd? pirate copy of photoshop or office xp?)
