You know what I hate? When Livejournal totally craps out in the middle of making a post and erases everything. Why so hateful, Livejournal?

TV, Book Recs

Need recs on a few things.

TV

1. Preferably period.
2. Would kind of like something based on literature.
3. And if it's a series from the UK, even better.
4. If there's a hint of romance, even better.

Books

1. Preferably not contemporary.
2. Romance.
3. If there are pirates, Scots in kilts, or court drama, awesome!

Additionally, the following tropes in romantic fiction always push my buttons (in a good way). Would love any rec for stories that feature these.

1. Friends who fall in love.
2. Female pretending to be a boy (which obviously works better in non-contemporary fiction). Tis most awesome when she's the cabin boy. Don't judge me.
2. Scenarios that involve the sibling of a close friend. You know, her best friend's older brother, his best friend's sister. That kind of thing.

I'm sure I'll have more fannish things to say tomorrow (since there's all new Smallville tonight), but in lieu of fannish discussion, some recs.

Ruby Truth by [livejournal.com profile] valentinemichel
It's not finished yet, but it's Red AU fic that veers from the episode at one point and really...goes places. It's fab. Go and read it, then hound for a finished product.

Bright As Yellow: Quiet by [livejournal.com profile] plum_evil
Okay, besides the fact that I love Kathe to death, this is a great fic. Byron/Chloe, and the entire tone of the story is quiet. Which is an amazing feat with Chloe. Go. Read. Marvel.

Or Maybe Midgets by [livejournal.com profile] tresca
Oh. My. Gawd. I hadn't laughed so hard in a long time. A Clark and Pete buddy fic of hysterically epic proportions. Plus some Little Bunny FooFoo fodder.

And [livejournal.com profile] paperbkryter has written...(drumroll please)

Clana

I haven't read it yet myself (mentally preparing for it - and I'm only reading it cause it's Paper), but it has to be fabulous. Just has to be!




And personal musings up in the Blog. Deep thoughts and all that jazz.
