Eternal Refuge

Oh no - I'm writing at work! I had to come into have a HepB blood test (again) and thought that I would stick with my wish to be a better friend and catch up with my f-list in the restaraunt, before getting back home, to get something to eat and then returning for a shift!

eta - it's now the evening, as LJ wouldn't let me post earlier.  So, I've done my shift and staying here to get this done, before heading home for tea ... how about that for devotion!

The reason I say "Oh No" is because of the next challenge on the Snowflake Meme -

Day 2

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Drop a link to your post in the comments. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom and maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.


I don't do rare pairings, and the only minor fandom I'm involved in is only on a personal icon making basis ... so doesn't count.

Anyway - lets see if I can find-

Dreams & Desotas by Bloodshedbaby.

This is AU from the end of Season 2 and sees Buffy and Spike "escaping" together.
25 chapters

Masks & Mirrors bypfeifferpack

This is when Dawn & Spike steal the gora eggs to bring back Joyce ... and bring back Spike's mum instead
21 Chapters

The Demon in Me by spikeschilde

This is Vamp Buffy in Season 2
31 chapters.

There are loads more - but those are 3 of my favourites.

Day off today, as I said, and yet didn't get some of the many things done that I needed to do ... including the orchestra accounts, so I can "finish" with them .... as I said I will scribble about my weekend at some point, soon.

Anyway, a night off, and dad's pc is free, so I'm hoping to do some art work.  So, first a "pimp" of, yet another, competition I've joined. -
I just hope I manage to survive longer than Round 1 as its a LIMS .... "last icon maker standing, BtVS style"

So, if any of you want to have a go, they are still accepting new members - go check lims_btvs out ... Hope to see you there!

Well if you are suffering from Harry Dresden withdrawel, and can't wait for "Ghost Story" then here are 2 short stories written by larabeckinsale ... written after the end of "Changes" ... so if you don't want already know how that ends, then these are huge spoilers.

The first one, chronologically, is a three part story, starting  here

The second one, chronologically is a 4 part short story, starting here

Please take the time to read them - I got her to unlock her f-list especially ... they are only short, but are both a great read.

How amny of you have enjoyed looking at friends photos of where they live ... well, here is your chance to share.

I have copied this post from curiouswombat -

Where I Live Day.

This originated five years ago, when a number of us thought it would be nice to learn a little more about the places our LJ friends lived. To enable people to take part more easily, the much missed frimfram set up a community to post the pictures. That way we got to see places that were the homes of those outside our own friends list - and a few new friendships were formed.

When we decided to do it all again, the decision was to have a weekend to post over, to make it easier - but the community was already called wild_photos  (for Where I Live Day) - which is why Where I Live Day is a weekend...

It is a while since the least Where I Live Weekend but a couple of discussions here and there gave me the impression that there was still interest, I put a post on the comm (Frim made me a co-moderator when she left LJ) asking was anyone still interested. The answer is YES.

So - anyone who wants to join in is very welcome - the posting weekend is July 10th and 11th, but a day or too early or late will not upset anyone, I'm sure. Take as many or as few pictures as you want, and then post to the community over the weekend, and enjoy seeing all the pictures coming in from other points worldwide. Not necessarily the tourist brochure stuff, but the real life stuff.

The comm is friends locked - here's the profile page - do join and then join in!

I will be posting there - hope to see some of your local pictures as well.

Just spreading news of a new Dr Who/Torchwood Icon community -

doctorwho20in20   

Go check it out.

As I work in Plympton on a Friday, it is an early start - and although I knew I had a quiet morning, I at least had a 9am patient ... wrong ... he had cancelled before I got here!

So, now I'm sitting at the pc and catching up ... and over on CDS I got the heads-up for more music on Marstersandson at You Tube.  Great!!!!!!!  Well, except for the fat that this pc doesn't have any speakers ... so I will have to wait till I get to Mum and Dad's this evening before I can listen!  So this is one of 2 that are by Sullivan, I hope it is good - if he takes after his father he will be!!




Hope you enjoyed!

As any of you who look at my journal know, I love Spuffy - and the scene from "Touched" is one of my favourites.

Whether you love the speach that Spike gives Buffy, (or not), then this video is great - angearia  rec'd it, and I am passing on that Spuffy love.






Mind you - it does always leave me so jealous of Buffy!!!

I have just seen this rec on petzipellepingos LJ ... really go check it out, here

I thought I would share this with you all, that was sent to me from (and by) someone at Launceston Camera Club.

Ii is a selection of pictures taken in North devon, and set to the music of "Stranger on the Shore".



Glad


Hope that you enjoy it.
