"I'm going to feel bad about this. Almost."

Wanted to pimp a certain fic here and the last chapter I read left me absolutely no choice. It's an Inuyasha fic - no, guys, I don't know the first thing about Inuyasha either, but let me tell you, this goes beyond usual fanfiction. This is one of the best pieces of fiction I've read of late. It's called One Less Star, and it's by cgwriting. It's absolutely excellent. Right now, I lack the words, because the chapter in question left me in an odd state of angst-filled apathy, or something. It gave me the same feelings I got several times while reading The Fionavar Tapestry by Kay, and some of you know how much I adore those books, one of the main reasons being because of scenes that gave me such feelings. I don't know if I'm making myself clear.

Let's use an analogy most of you will get. Remember Hero, the S1 AtS episode where Doyle died? That's pretty much it. Except that I get pulled in and emotionally involved much more easily on TV, and you've got to work much harder to get me involved in a written work. This here was somehow more subtle than Hero was.

But it's not just that that makes the quality of OLS. That was just the last scene I read. The whole of it is excellent, truly so, because such scenes can only work well and evoke such feelings when what surrounds them is of equal quality. Right now I'm just a bit shaken by it. Since I don't have greenie_breizh to cuddle up to (but will this weekend), nor any Ben & Jerry's handy, I think I'll go get myself some Nutella. I wanted to keep reading OLS, but I need a break to take all of this in.

Sis and I will actually be going downtown to try and find a birthday gift for our mum, after my Nutella break. Wish us luck. She's hard to buy presents for.

What Type of Villain are You?

Moriarti, now I can't help picture him like in Young Sherlock Holmes, a fairly entertaining movie with a delightful villain. Oh yes. (Makes me think, yesterday I had a look at a few Jude Law galleries - the word scrumptious came to mind (and I never use that word). I still can't believe how downright ugly he was in Road to Perdition. Guy's a v. good actor.)

Anyway. Wanted to read more OLS, but I put the Mononoke-Hime soundtrack on and it's tickling the muses for my fairy-related original story. Have just spent some time looking for Icelandic names, since the list I'd made is on Kaylee. Hopefully I'll get some of the first scene down tonight (sorry, heikki_cheren, that does mean I'm not writing those K'Immies just yet - I don't want to ignore those muses for fear they ignore me later on). Just those names are enough to tickle my fancy... Lilja, Valdís, Brynjólfur, Hrafn, and so many others.

Hmm, I wonder whether I have what it takes to type those letters the Icelandic use for the two "th" sounds.
