Preppy gay guy: I thought she already had cancer?
Preppy fag hag, dawning realization: You're right! She did... definitely.

I'm a big reader so this one will be interesting.

Best:

1. The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella. I've read all her books except her newest one and I have trouble choosing a favorite since they're all amazing but this one stands out. Her books aren't serious reading or anything but they're the funniest books I've ever read. This one is one of the funniest. I definitely reccomend this one (Along with the Shopaholic series and Rememember Me?) if you need some light, fluffy, summer reading or something.

2. The Color Purple by Alice Walker. I read this back in grade eight so I don't rememember most of it but I remember it was AMAZING. One of the best novels I've read. I think that was when I began straying from Gossip Girl/Twilight stuff and going for more adult stuff. It's a bit confusing at times but such a good story. I definitely think my whole f-list should read it. I actually want to reread it someday. The movie is really good too :)

3. Lifelines by C.J Lyons. I'm really into medical stuff and medical tv shows. This novel is like a really intense episode of House, ER and Grey's Anatomy all mixed into one. it's perfect if you're a fan of those shows. Plus, it's written by an actual ER doctor so it's medical accurate unlike some medical fiction I've read. (The sequel Warning Signs is great, too!)

And since I'm such a big reader, I have a runner up!

My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. I literally could not put this book down! It's another medical drama and was really well written. I want to read more of Jodi Picoult's novels. The movie sucked and didn't compare to the novel at all! (I read the novel because I heard there was a movie and the story sounded interested so I wanted to read the book first.) So if you read this, the movie might ruin it for you :S

Worst:
1.In grade eight I read some sci-fi novel called Eva. I can't even remember who wrote it, it was so bad DX. I read it since the summary talked about this girl named Eva being in a car accident. And it was really weird and sci-fi-y and not what I was expecting. Her dad was a scientist so after the accident he did an experiment that made her into an ape and then the rest of the book was her adapting to life as an ape. Yeah, it was very, very slow and strange :S.

2.Lord Of The Flies by William Golding. I had to read it for grade nine english and I hated it! It was soooooooo slow. Also, I like novels with females as the main characters so this was the complete opposite of my kind of book. I found it so bad that by the end I gave up on reading it and just used Sparknotes for my homework.

And that's all I've got since most of the time I choose books I think I'll enjoy. I think the only other books I've hated have been things I've read for school. But even I've enjoyed some of those books.

ETA: I saw the movie Precious tonight and it made me not want to become a social worker anymore. I don't think I could deal with stuff like that. But now I don't know what I want to do after high school DX.

I didn't specify what fic I was reading, but as you probably guessed, it's all Otalia fic. These days I have lost soooo much sleep over fic, so I did a comic, which I haven't done in ages. You HAVE to admit, we keep reading until we get to the juicy bits. :P You fic-writers are such good teases!

I was wondering if anyone had good suggestions of episodes that have any prominent subtext? It's research to continue my story "I Will Always Be Here". I never really noticed the independent characters of criminal minds until around the end of season 4. I began rewatching the episodes and focusing on the characters and really got a feel for who they are. And I discovered subtext...which led me to this community. Haha. So, any ideas?

So it's a weekend day, which means it's time to update you on my Witch of November progress.

Starting point: 41,000 and change. (I don't remember the exact count but it wasn't much over 41k).

Ending point: 44,117. Page 66.

3100 or so words in one day is HUGE for me, guys. I kind of want to write 900 or so more words before the end of the night just to hit 45k, ha.

Harper's Island day tomorrow! Whee!!

ETA: 45,026. Hee.

Title: Movie Night
Author: critic2000
Pairing: Olivia/Natalia
Rating: PG-13 to start, for violence (non-sexual).
Disclaimer: I don’t own the Guiding Light characters, they belong to CBS and Proctor and Gamble.
Summary: This is set in the spring of 2009. I’ve taking some liberties with the storyline, mainly Natalia never slept with Frank, hence no engagement etc. So our girls have been just continuing forward raising Emma and getting closer to each other though they are still technically just friends, but that may change… This is a hurt/comfort story so they are headed on a rough ride.
Author’s Note: This is my first fan fiction so please be gentle. This would not have been possible if not for the persistent nudging and awesome editing of my beta/great friend laracroft. Comments are welcome.

Sober girl: Look, all I'm saying is, I wouldn't fucking mess with her. She's clinically insane.

Sober girl: You do realize that she drew pictures of her friends decapitated, right?

Can someone please tell me when plaids and flannell became cool again? I thought it was dyke uniform! I'm getting fashion confusion here.

In related shopping news, the sucky thing about being short and losing weight is that you can't look in the clearance section for pants that actually fit you well.

Title: The Lesbian Killer Vampire confusion (in 3 parts!)
Author: happier_here
Rating: R (for naughty words and mentions of murder)
Show: The Middleman
Pairing: OFC/OFC
Spoilers: The Vampiric Puppet Lamentation
Summary: Wendy is called into the office to go vampire-hunting. But all vampires are dead? Yes, all regular vamps are, but not the Lesbian Killer kind!
Author's Notes: I love the Middleman. I love the stories, and the references, so I tried to put lots of them in this story as well. Enjoy!

( “So YOU are telling me I have to go seduce a vampire that I can’t kill?” She pointed at her boss. “And YOU just sprayed me with BBQ-sauce to make me extra delicious?” )
