I'm subscribed to
otw_news, but I don't always read the posts, or read them carefully. Have y'all seen the Challenges tutorial: creating and running a gift exchange? Wow.
This is me in my glass house, throwing stones: I can't work out a system for what I'm reading in Inception fic, because it has been such a long time since I've read in a fandom this large, and I can't handle how uneven the fic is. There was at least one kink meme fill recently that was like, la la happy joy and then WHABAM! Totally ridic angst ending for no good reason, and there's ten minutes of my life that I'll never get back. Say I have two hours a day to read, and I don't just want to keep up with the BNFs or whatever, because I as a middle-of-the-road author, I totally want to heap love on the people in the shadows.
So, I'm reading mostly the stuff that gets posted to AO3, for no particularly good reason other than it's a manageable flow.
Speaking of AO3, fic recs!
Inception, Arthur/Eames
dastardly and muttley (or, a decidedly canine dating service) by
scrapbullet The dog belongs to Eames, and he's pretty much what you'd expect Eames's dog to be.
Sports Night, Casey/Dan
restrained by
mardia (and also reccing everything else mardia's written, I think) Casey's got a kink, and it breaks Dan's brain a bit, and then everything is awesome.
Uh, other stuff from the weekend. Watched the first two episodes of Running Wilde (somewhat uneven, generally funny, but watching comedies is a group activity for me); the pilot of Chase (a little heavyhanded with the main chick's backstory and the indoctrinating the new guy from The City); the pilot of No Ordinary Family (exposition like whoa, but I'll give the second episode a chance). I also finally watched the first few episodes of The Colony, which would be more interesting if I didn't spend so much time wondering how the "invaders" are trained/instructed regarding violence against the colonists.
I'm in the process of trying to watch tonight's DWTS, but... I don't really care. I keep hitting pause to concentrate on reading things.
