Since I'm procrastinating on writing -- just a little -- and no more ideas have come to me for the Will/Bran fanmix, I thought I'd do another recs post. Since it's been ages and all.

If we talk on IM often or you watch my del.icio.us, you've seen all these before.

And, for a bonus, a site rec. The Dark Is Rising: A Fanfic Writer's Guide. There's so much information on this site, background as well as actually from the books. Even I, who specialise in knowing tiny details like the date of their Easter holidays in Greenwitch, learnt something new here. It's interesting as background reading, not just if you want to write fic.

I thought this meme would be most appropriate in this journal, so, voila. I snagged it from conor_ahearne.

I think we should all do this about whatever our fannish bliss is at the moment. Lets make it so that today it is impossible to turn around on LJ without running into a list of joy about some show or another. Who's with me? C'mon, I challenge you. A list of ten things that you love about your current fandom(s) posted to LJ and a challenge to all of your f'list to do the same.

And I'm just going to do it for TDIR and the people attached to it through fandom.

1. Barney. Just. Barney. The bit where he calls Simon "cleversticks", especially.
2. Bran. My favourite arrogant Welshman.
3. John Rowlands... Okay, the more minor characters in general. Especially John Rowlands, Owen Davies, Stephen Stanton and Paul Stanton.
4. All the myths. All the little details. Like the three ship burials near the Thames.
5. The rhyming prophecies.
6. The part where Bran hugs Owen. And the part where he hugs Arthur.
7. The quality of the writing -- not necessarily grammar, though it always seems perfect to me, but the way it makes me feel for the characters.
8. The fact that me and Lisa have over one hundred roleplay plots (not simply logs) for it already, in barely nine months.
9. Writing Loyalty.
10. I don't know if any of them know it, since I've gone through various different LJ names since then, but I've met several people I originally knew/knew of through Gundam Wing fandom, again, through TDIR.
