My 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 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!
