some story recs

Why, why must I actually do grown-up things like balance my checkbook and pay bills? Why?! And why didn't I do this last night? I want to work on fic, but I'm not allowing myself to touch the fic notebook until I'm done. *grumps* Nor can I watch more Doctor Who. Off-limits, I say!

Speaking of TV I need to watch, in case you procrastinated on buying the complete Farscape series when deepdiscountdvd.com had such a great price, you're in luck for a few more hours. Amazon.com has it for $57.99. I already have it from the first offer, so... too bad. Such is life.

I'm behind on reading fanfic as well as writing it. But I do have a few recs.

Everyone who likes stories for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has probably already seen this, but [livejournal.com profile] halcyon_shift has an excellent series, Out on the Wire. It works well as a possibility of how season three could have been.

Battlestar Galactica/Firefly crossover: Through the Looking Glass, by [livejournal.com profile] karate0kat. Goes with the idea that the Demetrius got stranded and eventually encountered Mal and his crew. Some Kara/Sam content, lots of the Firefly team. I haven't left feedback there yet. Ooops.

More BSG bigbang stories: [livejournal.com profile] merrykk's Meet Your Storm is an AU for season three, post-New Caprica. What if Kacey really were a hybrid, and Kara's daughter? Some Kara/Sam content, lots of minor characters making guest appearances.

I've only read part of [livejournal.com profile] lizardbeth_j's next section of her "Not All That We Are" series, The Thread of Ariadne, but it's awesome, as always, and I can't wait to finish. Though it's killing my Kara/Sam-loving heart! Oh, the angst! (You really will need to read the previous parts; it starts here. Kara, Sam, cylons galore...

I already mentioned [livejournal.com profile] lls_mutant's story The Space Between Us, but I thought I'd reiterate that it's worth the time to read. Hoshi/Gaeta, Two/Eight (and baby, yaaaaaaayyyyy!), nearly everyone else who has ever been on the show. Works well as an alternative for season 4.5.

Not a bigbang fic, but [livejournal.com profile] daybreak777 wrote a beautiful, creepy crossover story: Blessed Be The Fruit, which mixes BSG and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale.

Not a fic rec, but [livejournal.com profile] cleolinda has her Movies in Fifteen Minutes recap of New Moon, if you want a good giggle.

In addition to finishing/leaving feedback on some of these stories, [livejournal.com profile] merrykk and [livejournal.com profile] lyssie both have stories I haven't started yet. And I'm pretty sure I'm missing another rec I meant to make. *sigh*

Okay. Off to pay bills, balance the checkbook and NOT watch Doctor Who.

Hi Rosie! Thank you so much for the rec and well, everything. :-)

Hope that checkbook balances out!

Ugh, still working on balancing the checkbook. Possibly this would go faster if I didn't procrastinate it on a regular basis.

wow, you are way more on top of things than me!

Glad you're liking it so far. Thanks! :)

I wish I had more time this evening, because I want to find out what else happens!
