Bah. Or hafital is grumpy today. Or randomness.

[hafital]

Grumpy for no reason, really. Could be the weather which has suddenly turned gloomy.

--My mom is now addicted to Alias. :) Job well done, I say. *pats self on back*. Next up to corrupt, my cousin. *g* Mom and I are currently devouring Season 2 eps as fast as possible, which isn't very fast since I'm never home, but, woo! Season 2 is a thing of beauty, it really is. I'd forgotten how amazing the Server 47 episode was. I hadn't seen it since it aired. It's going to be fun to see how she takes the season 2 finale. eheheh.

--My dad bought me the Pirates of the Caribbean dvd for by birthday a few weeks ago. I love this movie. I was watching it non stop for a few days there. And my Johnny Depp affection has soared into enduring love. I mean, I liked the movie before. A lot. Enough to see it twice in the theatres and to read a couple of fics. But now, I think it deserves to be bold in my list of Fandoms throughout Life. However, my love just might be defeated by the sprawlingness and general disorganized mess that is the PotC fandom. I appear to lack the patience to troll through LJ looking for fic, many of which, should I follow a link, ends up being friends locked. And honestly, that pisses me off. *grump*

--I have this (rather sad) habit of watching a few minutes of Highlander everyday just before going to bed. But because I'm always so sleepy, I never make it through more than 5 or 10 minutes before I have to turn it off and go to sleep. For this reason, if I happen to see an episode when I'm actually awake, there's always whole sections of dialogue and action that are bafflingly unfamiliar.

-I also have to watch these eps in chronological order, which just adds a whole level of peculiar analness to my rather sad habit. And then I'm all annoyed if for some reason I have to go out of order. Weirdo!

--I'm at the part with my current story where I'm anxious to finish and I keep rereading parts and tweaking bits and pieces (and I still think it's amazingly boring) but I'm also just kinda staring at it. Because it's there. I'm only half-way finished. And it's not very long at all. sigh.

--Despite this, I love Duncan and Methos. Very much. They're all hurty and things. *pets*

--I pine for Killa. *pines*

Hi! Friended you back, I hope that's ok. . .

Anyway, I've participated in the PotC fandom since the early days, and I can give you lots of good recs, if you're looking for stories - I know how hard it is to find stuff when you're first getting interested in a fandom, and I'm always glad to pimp my favorite fandom help a sister out. Is there a particular character/pairing/style of story you're looking for?

I cannot help you much on the recs. I have an author or two whose style I like, but they seem to prefer modern-era stuff and I am a pirate-era girl. So, if someone pimps you something? Think of your friends, and if not them, think of me. *g*

I'm here, on AIM! For a little while, at least. Are you home? {{{{{squishes you}}}}} Things have been a little fragmentary around here. I miss you.

In my first infatuation with PotC, I put up a recs and resources page here: http://elke.slashcity.org/potc.html
Unfortunately I haven't updated it since last fall, but what I rec'ed there back then, I stand by now. :-)

Also, I think there's now a handy recs community... potc_recs

And I believe that crack_van has recs in PotC (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=crack_van&keyword=Pirates+of+the+Caribbean+Fanfic+Recs&filter=all), as well.

This is the rec page I started with. And definitely mimesere, as well as monkeycrackmary, guede_mazaka, and webcrowmancer (although she's left for other things now).

Hm. But yeah, htere's really isn't much centralized. I mostly just catch stuff from recs and friendsfriends. inkbug just started posting what is supposed to be the *fab* Sparrington epic, but I haven't started it yet because I can't do WIPs.

Hope that helps!
