Some long delayed links

A Clock, Hands, the Night by mistressrenet. Oriya/Hisoka, R. Lovely. I adore the language in this story; it's so quiet and understated.

The Earl's Folly by ranalore. Count Cain, Riff/Cain, NC-17. I barely know this series, but who cares: the hotness transcends canon. The faux-Victorian voice of the narrator is particularly awesome; I aboslutely adored this story.

Palms Out Sounds- a new music blog I'm very fond of. Mostly rap, electronica, and remixes, but very good choices of all of them.

OhMyGosh.se- another music blog, this one also focuses on remixes. Clearly this is what I'm interested in at the moment.

Speaking of that, I actually got an email about a week ago encouraging me to visit some guy's site and review his music, and I don't think it was spam. Dude, clearly I am not actually running a music blog myself, but I am totally amused that I have apparently convinced other people that I am!

blackwaltzes: a music community with weekly themes, specifically for dark or creepy music. *cough*parallactic*cough*

springkink is coming up! People volunteer sentences from pieces they've already written here. I, unfortunately, didn't notice until it felt like it was too late to join in, but these are a lot of fun to read. (Also, of course, I've only written one of the prompts I signed up for, and I didn't do that until yesterday.)

And speaking of things I wrote yesterday: Demons'll Charm: Richard, Alec, R. I really should stop posting things at 2am, but this time I have the excuse of needing to slip it in under the deadline at 31_days. Technically I was breaking the rules anyway, but I'm sure it was still before midnight somewhere in the world.

This story literally left me speechless. Fantastic! And I'm yet to rec it. This must be rectified.

I'm dying to read this. I mean it's Rana for heaven's sake. But I keep turning away because of my lack of canon knowledge. I keep thinking that I won't be able to truly appreciate its fabulousness without having an inkling of who the characters are and what makes them THEM. You know?! But it's Rana... wth! *heads off to read*

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee. Well, it obviously took me a very long time to remember to rec it, too. But always better late than never, I say!

Go read it! I've only read one volume of the manga; I've heard enough people talk about it that I knew the basic characters and settings, but I haven't really read it myself, and I still liked the story very much. I'm sure it's even better if you know who these people are and can pick up on smaller details, but even without that, it's an awesome read.

You were so right! *looks around for Rana* The woman gets me every single time! She pushed so many of my buttons and left with breathless with the hotness and the language and my skin is still tingling.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee! Right, I know? I feel like I never need to write a bondage story now; it'd be so much easier just to reread this one.

[project-manager.livejournal.com]

But but we'd love a Brigd bondage story.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

#^^# Well, thank you! But I have several other, non-bondage but kinky, stories to write first. Yay springkink!

I don't know how the hell I missed Renet's story when it went up. But I did, so I'm particularly grateful for the rec -- I would not have wanted to miss that.

Also, it makes me totally happy to see "The Earl's Folly" getting recced all over the place. I'm always all fretful about the etiquette of commenting on and recommending pieces I betaed; with people like you and laylah taking care of it, I can sit back and stop fretting. At least a little.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Glad to be helpful!

I always worry about the etiquette of that, too. You could recommend it with a note that you betaed and so may not be quite objective; I think I've done that before.

Man, Renet's piece slays me. It alone is justification for bringing Orisoka to the fandom's conscious attention. *G*

Thank you for the rec, hon!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the story!

[parallactic.livejournal.com]

Thanks for letting me know about blackwaltzes. :)

I think you should post a teaser sentence at springkink. It was only a few days ago that I posted one, after all. Do you want to make me look like a fool for doing so? Is that what you want? *sobs*

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

The description made me think of you.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Alright, I have! And argh, I made the post go to two pages of comments. How embarrassing.

[animadri.livejournal.com]

You're too cute!

[animadri.livejournal.com]

I certainly enjoyed it. Yum!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee.
