• ithiliana: Calling out Michaela Ecks/Laura Hale/Purplepopple/Partly_Bouncy - The purpose of this post is to call out somebody who actively seeks to harm other fans. She lies. She outs fans by connecting their real life identities with their fannish identities. She is trying to make money from a site which is billed as "history" -

• frankincensy: [in buy_n_large] "WALL-E: A Butch/Femme Love Story" - How do you see the characters, in terms of gender, and what influenced you to see them that way? What do you think of the article? I'm not sure how I'd gender WALL-E and EVE myself, but I see their love as the kind that has nothing to do with gender. -

• svmadelyn: My .02 - - The thing that not many people have really brought up during this "FanHistory outs fans!" mess is that...well, it's pretty obvious that Laura Hale/purplepopple/partly_bouncy is, rather than being in it for the lulz, in it for the pagehits. -

Looking for a fic in which blair goes undercover in a cult.  The matriarch want to do bad things to him, but he's rescued and then needs to be reprogrammed?

Thanks!

I apologize for dropping out for awhile. Real life sometimes gets in the way. But I'm back and I hope to get a few more recs in before the end of the month.

Why this must be read:

Circle is a quest story in the epic tradition. An evil even greater than Ahriman threatens the world and a strange 2000 year old immortal who has never taken a head assembles a group of mortals and immortals to combat it. Circle does justice to our favorites in both Highlander and The Sentinel, plus giving us some of the most unusual and compelling original characters in fandom. It includes trips to other realms and the Underworld, the return of the Horsemen, and a satisfying twist. It's a roller-coaster ride well worth the time.

( Excerpt )

Circle of the Chosen

jjtaylor

Gerard finally notices that Frank has brought a loaf of bread, and he descends on it. "You made this!" he says, slicing into it. "That's fucking awesome." And then he gets this very serious expression on his face and Frank is worried that maybe Gerard is allergic to raisins, or maybe there's a fingertip inside the bread. He stupidly looks down at his hands. Gerard comes over, very close, standing nearly over Frank. "Do I toast it?" Gerard asks with utmost seriousness. From the corner of his eye, Frank sees Mikey cover his eyes and shake his head.
