fannishlissMy flist haven't been super posty recently, but if you are reading this, I am saying HI TO YOU!!
Tonight is my CD Release Party. Of course I was in bed all day yesterday with a STUPID COLD and so I don't know if my voice will hold out for a two hour show tonight, but hey, I'll do my best! PM me if you'd like the url to my album, which is under my real name.
We finally watched Captain America: The First Avenger. It was pretty good! I still wonder what it would have been like with Jensen Ackles as Steve.
We went to see The World's End, the movie with Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin BAFTA Freeman and several others. It was good. Simon Pegg did a great job with his character, and Martin really went for it! Plus Nick Frost was really great. There is a twist I totally didn't expect. It threw me a little, but my husband and friends were 100% positive. :)
I have a Three/Jo fic up my sleeve for September.
I found out that a couple of my fics on AO3 are in the top 100 for the pairing by Kudos. That is pretty exciting for me, really. I am spending most of my fannish energy over on AO3, mostly reading Sherlock stories. But I'd love to see a return to LJ. Say Hi if you read this!
I spent yesterday sick in bed reading an awesome Who story on AO3 called Closed by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
who_in_whoville. It is long and satisfying. If you love Rose, read it! It is a crossover with Broadchurch, featuring Rose meeting up with DI Alec Hardy in Pete's World, and seems pretty spoilery for Broadchurch, if you are afraid of that sort of thing.
Also I really liked a story by an author new to me called RishiDiams. The Space Between, it is Ten/Rose (but in my head it was Nine/Rose) f*k or die, with brilliant aftermaths, and it is a really well done 25k story! The thing about it is how deeply the author gets inside the Doctor's head to understand his point of view, his various hangups, his powers as a Time Lord, and the depth of his feelings for Rose and everything he's willing to sacrifice for her. Such a good story. Because it's so perceptive as to who the Doctor IS, for me it reads as Nine, because Nine is My Doctor.
Okay I've got to go revise my set list for sore throatedness. Cross fingers for me!

Date: 2013-09-10 09:20 pm (UTC)I'm sorry to hear that you've been sick, especially with regard to the sore-throatedness! That's terrible timing; I hope your voice pulls through for you tonight. I'll be cheering you on from over here! I'm sure you'll do splendidly in spite of the challenges before you. :)

I got my chi going early with a good strong delivery of House of the Rising Sun and then that carried me for two hours. :)

I thought Nick did a great acting job in the role and do did Simon....so that there was a surprise amount of drama in the movie...and it made the end a bit more sad than I think they were really going for...

Date: 2013-09-11 10:14 am (UTC)Usually my training kicks in and my singing voice is okay. Last night I was doubting myself going in because my throat was really sore, but I had a bowl of soup and a Coke (my throat loves Coke as much as I do!) and then the adrenaline kicked in and I didn't feel a thing. I actually feel great this morning, so I didn't do myself a mischief, though I still feel congested and am coughing.
