A few Yuletide recs

The Strange and Not Entirely Ineffective Courting of Jon Stewart by Stephen T. Colbert was miscategorised as RPS on the site when it's actually FPS about the in-character Stephen from The Colbert Report.

Those Who Favour Fire Diana Wynne Jones's Eight Days of Luke. A strange, bleak little story about Luke turning David immortal.

Rite of Passage is a short sad futurefic about Leon (The Professional) with a Surprise Crossover.

Things We Can't Untie: Or, Gay Perry and Gay Harry and the Gay Jewels of Nabooti, for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005), in which Harry decides to talk Perry into sleeping with him.

Still Life with Lipstick, The Devil Wears Prada. Andy is sent to write a story on fashion week and runs into Miranda.

The Lady Running, a Lucy/Tumnus Narnia futurefic. She isn't as innocent as Tumnus thinks. This pairing... ahahhahaah.

There was a small crop of Die Hard 4 fic:

• Just That Simple Thing, in which John McClane's Christmases are cursed so he's given up on them, and Matt wants to change his mind about that. Fluffy and very sweet with pretty good dialogue, though.



• How Enos Finally Caught Daisy (Or, Possibly, The Other Way Around), a sweet post-movie courtship starting when Matt sends John an iPod.

And a larger one of Hot Fuzz fic:

• Film Studies, in which Danny's plan for seducing Nick owes a lot to action movie plots and he isn't able to stick to it.



• Bend Hard, set in the hospital right after the end of the movie, mostly dialogue.



• Step Into Christmas, a very fluffy Christmas first-time in which Nick changes his mind about working through Christmas.



• Settled In A year post-movie, Nick hasn't noticed that he and Danny are dating.

ur badfic has literary beauty.

keeping up with the technology

I've kinda been neglecting my recs page because it's so gargantuan and, in its current incarnation, useless. See, I used to use it as a source of bookmarks for myself, before social bookmarking or tags existed, and doing it manually was the best way. It was a more inclusive list than the things I'd include in it nowadays - more like delicious, where I bookmark things if I enjoy them and want to reread them even if they're badfic, usually. (Not quite that permissive.)

So I have this recs page made up of categorised and alphabetised links, hundreds of them, some of them entered seven years ago and many of them broken; and now I have delicious for organising actual bookmarks in a much more convenient way, leaving the recs page, in theory, only for actual recs that I'd have something to say about.

I decided I wanted to clean my recs page up, transferring its contents to delicious and then making a new, more abbreviated one from its, er, ashes. But I didn't count on how time-consuming that would be: I didn't used to record the lengths of what I read, not to mention that I don't remember most of these stories so I have to copy the comments from my recs page for delicious. Each story is a minimum of four clicks, plus all the typing to put in the tags. I started at the first fandom page at my site - due South - and I've only entered 26 and am already tired of it. I guess it'll be an ongoing project.
