Dollhouse extras

So, I didn't bother with the rest of the series, as I'd already seen the aired eps, but Netflixed the 4th disk that has the unaired pilot and the deeply mysterious 13th ep.

( Spoilerificness abounds )

Grats and Feast of Fear

Today I'm grateful for my Gods, particularly the support and guidance They give when I need it. Even when in the form of a much-needed kick in the pants. I'm also grateful for the friends and community I've found at HTAZP.

Meanwhile, note to self: for future reference, the Feast of Fear is one of those festivals that really requires taking the night prior off. And not just because the preparations involve dream incubation. Not one of your more light-hearted and easygoing festivals, as should be rather evident from the name. I'm moderately surprised I'm still conscious, though part of that may be procrastination, as I have a feeling I'll be finishing off this day's Work in tonight's dreams. Not comfy stuff, but clearly stuff in need of being dealt with. Not sure how much detail I'm likely to get into here, but suffice it to say that as the name of the festival suggests, it's all about confronting whatever it is that you fear, figuring out what aspects of it (if any) are the healthy keep-you-out-of-trouble kind of fear and what aspects are the paralyzing-so-things-that-need-to-be-done-aren't kind of fear, and figuring out where to go from there.

Alpha/Beta promo post

I've alpha and beta read a bit outside my usual realm this summer, which has been both a challenge and a blast.

Title: The Memory Remains
Author: deemichelle
Fandom: Twilight (AU)
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Edward/Bella
Prompt/Summary: Edward is a soldier heading overseas in WWI. He meets Bella just days before he ships out, they promise to wait for each other. What happens when he comes back home a changed man to find her changed as well?
Why you should read it: It captures the flavor of the altered time setting in a number of ways that I found very enjoyable. And I imagine that for Twilight fen, it's probably all the cooler seeing how the changes in this AU affect things and how some things manage to stay the same.

Title: Touched by Dragons
Author: angela_snape
Fandom: Harry Potter
Rating: R
Pairing: Charlie/Draco
Summary: A bad reaction to a burn treatment leads to a different sort of reaction to a burn specialist.
Why you should read it: A lovely bit of angsty not-quite-h/c with a very unusual pairing that does some intriguing things with Draco's character, in particular.

Title: Drugged
Author: sahiya
Fandom: Doctor Who
Rating: PG
Pairing: Nine/Rose/Jack
Summary: Goddamn xenophobic aliens and goddamn drugs and goddamn hypodermic needles.
Why you should read it: A thoroughly enjoyable h/c fic that slots nicely into canon and pokes about at some interesting aspects of Jack's character.
