Waiting

the_willow:
Made it out to the booksale for the last day. Feel pleased with the results. Now comes wondering how to weight the books and then will come 'But where shall the boxes come from?' - though I think I've got a lovely and generous offer there. So mostly it's 'hmm, scale'.

In other news I had the awkward experience of being surrounded by Glee fans today. That was... weird. Actually it was weird to have so many people eagerly consuming first run media and I felt some relief that there was one other person watching at a remove. I could totally start rewatching Leverage again if I heard things about it that would signal it's the show I want. But yeah 'happy fun time' with Glee and a skipping over of the issues surrounding it.

I mean, there was a mention that the official cast download of the song with the deaf choir apparently removes them completely, there is no hearing impaired/deaf speaker of the words before the main group butts into another group's performance for their moving moment. I hadn't known Glee was doing official downloads of their songs. But I sat there kind of stunned that someone could complain about the erasure of the hearing/non-sign speaking portion of the performance and how that affected their enjoyment of said download, to the point where they'll hunt down the episode audio, but there was no ping about what that erasure meant in terms of ableism and deafness and more.

And there was no way to say something without 'making an issue' of things and adding stress to the flow of conversation.

Human interaction, face to face, is tricky. It's uncomfortable as heck to feel as if just the very reminder 'the shiny' is excluding and hurting a whole bunch of people would be akin to you spitting in their drink. Then again no wonder there are some who think discussing these issues is a new fandom in itself where certain people want to be/are or have created themselves to be BNF but none of it is real, it's all play and posing. If public, face to face interaction leaves one counting spoons; do you have the energy to deal with turning the tide of the conversation and having people react like you just gutted their pet dog in front of them; then it's easier not to confront in that space and the clueless never realize they have sat beside someone with a strong alternate pov and vision.

Of course I'm talking as if the intersection of clueless and trying to be aware and informed individuals is out of the blue moon. But that's just my social schedule of near hermitage. Maybe with enough interactions there's foundation for a quiet 'Well, y'know...'

Now want to stay up, likely for stubbornness sake. Am doubting that'll happen though cause I feel I could pitch forward into bed and sleep comfortably for a couple of hours at least.

cluegirl:
We did the Troy Victorian Stroll today.

Most of the snow was still around from yesterday, but the air was in the 40's, and there was hardly any wind at all, so it was just lovely. Dominus wore his dragoon's uniform, and I, in deference to the snow on the ground, elected to wear my riding habit, which I can kilt up out of danger's way in the back, over the green walking dress, which simply WILL drag in back, no matter what I do to it.

Both of the aforementioned choices involve bustle, which I just love for this event, since I am almost always the only lady on the street who's IN one, as opposed to wearing either a hoop, or just in a long skirt, and a shawled coat. I am a vain Catt. You all knew this. Actually, now I think about it, I haven't ever seen another lady dressed in a bustle gown in any year I've gone to it. This year we did see some more period military men though. We had a Confederate officer, who looked quite sharp, and exchanged ironic hat-tips with Dominus as they passed, and a couple of saillors, both of whom were a bit too busy with their food to notice the 'foreign invader' on their streets. We did walk past an excellently done Uncle Sam though, and he gave us a pointed cough and a wink.

Oh, that was amusing as well. We found ourselves hungry, cashless, and unwilling to fight the heaving throngs inside any of the downtown bistros or cafes, so we went hunting for an ATM, and the first one we found was for Bank of America... so there stood Dominus, dressed as a British Dragoon, getting cash at the Bank of America ATM. There were several passers-by who found the irony just as entertaining as we did.

We stood for innumerable photos, but as neither of us had brought anything in which to stash a camera, we never did get anybody to take a picture FOR us. ( Next year's costume WILL include a bloody reticule, I swear it!) We did wind up our stroll at the Photo Center, where Lady Ostapeck had an exhibit up, and there we spent a nice half hour chatting about our clothes, and whatnot. (Somehow this involved me flipping up my skirts to show off the fact that I'd a properly made bustle, not just a pillow tied to my arse. Don't ask me just how, Lady Ostapeck is rather a force of nature, and talking with her is a matter of hanging on with teeth and toenails and enjoying the whirlwind tour of nonsequiturland. I hope to be something like her when I grow up, at least as far as charm and interest goes.)

Finally, we decided that it was time for biology to put an end to the lovely afternoon. (Since the idea of trying to squeeze the bustle into a public loo, let alone trying to get all the underclothes beneath it out of danger was somewhat more ambitious than I felt up to. I figured if I was going to half to get half undressed, I didn't want to do it in public, and not have anybody to help me put things right again.

And so now here we sit in our jammies, listening to OPHM, (Other People's Holiday Music) and digesting a nice meal of roast chicken, and beetroot risotto. Dominus is scanning negatives, and I am picking away at Tempus Fugitive, and in all, it's been a wonderful weekend.

How was yours then?

bronze_ribbons:

My favorites so far (all anon @ Snupin Santa):

A Picture of Success
PG-13, 11K, warnings for "implied prostitution, violence (though nothing worse than canon)."
Giftee's prompt: "Snape and Lupin assigned to work together to find some arcane artifact for the Order."
What Ribbons liked about it: mucho action, competent Remus, great use of a guest star, sneaky dark humor
Excerpt:

"So if any rumours do reach the Order, what do you want me to say?"

"Tell them I'm a good fuck," Snape said dryly, tossing a handful of Floo powder into the fireplace, and disappeared into the flames.

No Greater Love
R, 9K, warnings for "Warnings: Torture, suicide, character death"
Author's summary: "When Remus learns that Severus has been spying on Voldemort all along and that he'll be executed at the next full moon, he embarks on a dangerous rescue mission into an England reigned by Voldemort to save the man he loves. On that mission, he receives help from the most unlikely people – and ends up saving not only Severus."
Ribbons' reaction: beautifully plotted, inventive use of magic, deft characterization (in a story where there characters are continually on the cliff-edge of who they should(n't) trust)
Excerpt:

"I don't believe one word you're saying," he tells Peter, or whoever it is.

"I know. But I’m sure you have Veritaserum, don't you?"

Of course Remus does. It’s expensive and hard to get, but usually, all of them manage to keep at least one vial stocked most of the time. If nothing else helps, Hermione has learnt to brew it acceptably.

"Why would I waste it on you? I should just call the French Aurors and let them deal with you. There's nothing that I need to know from you."

But Peter only shakes his head.

"It's about Severus," he says, as if that made it all clearer, as if that alone could change Remus’s mind.

He is right.

A Romance
NC-17, 35K, warning: "Canon characters pop in and out of the story, and while (hopefully) the personalities are true to canon, the relative ages aren't."
Author's summary: "Busaikko wanted a non-magical AU, supermarket-aisle paperback romance with unusual careers."
Ribbons's reaction: This reads very much like a McKay or Arionrhod or Shanti_writes creation - super-sexy secure-in-his-sexuality Severus, sensuous descriptions of clothing and hair, good meals, quirky humor (there's a cat named Hairy, and yes, it has green eyes), and jokes/reactions about being older. Good fun while home sick on a dreary Sunday afternoon.
Excerpt:

It was Friday when they were made up and rolling that Severus asked his first personal question. "How did a New Orleans boy, who's lived around as much as you have, end up here?"

Remus blinked. How the hell...? "Party trick?"

Severus shrugged. "Hobby."
