tracy_loo_who | An assortment of things.

1. Back from Colorado! Trip was fun, except good god, who knew it would cost $230 to rent a compact car for one day? Man, we (being my cousin and I) got hustled hardcore, but luckily we found a cheaper deal for the rest of the time. It's also lucky I paid for insurance, because some most-likely-drunk asshole(s) bashed in the window and the cops were politely unhelpful, not through any fault of theirs. But other than that, awesome trip!

2. Recs! I've decided I must rec fics more often. Thus, I've updated the stupidly massive rec post of doom with the following:

There's a First Time for Everything by

strangeandcharm: So hot and so many awesome little moments and character quirks, plus I'm a huge sucker for Castiel's first time fics.

Fools Rush In by

izazov: Tender sex pollen fic, seriously. ♥

525,600 Minutes by

oatmeal_queen: Takes a good while to get through, but it's worth it. I'd recently been lamenting the lack of good amnesia fic, so this was quite satisfying.

Just Some Love by

janie_tangerine: Starts out kinda cracky, but ends up incredibly sweet. ♥

Promises to Keep by

luchia13: The more I think about this one, the more it breaks me beautifully.

A Small Respite and its sequel, A Question of Hope, by

olympia_m: I don't know when I got so hooked on angsty future!fic, but I did, and I love both of these so fucking much, especially the second one.

Also, can I just state here that the Castiel!whump fic

strangeandcharm's currently working on makes me giddy as fuck? Cause it totally does. I'm recc'ing it already and it's not even finished/posted yet. \o/

3. Speaking of the stupidly massive rec post of doom, it's already gone over the character limit for LJ entries and this was only my first update to it. *facepalm* I thought about splitting it into two posts or moving it over to Dreamwidth, but no rec post should be that long, so what I ended up doing was un-sharing all of my existing bookmarks on Delicious and turning that into a rec.. thing. All recs can now also be found here, with all their thematic tags and everything. (Isn't the 21st century wonderous?) As for the LJ post, I'll probably start removing some to make room for others, but Delicious has no limit that I'm aware of, so all the old/removed ones will be there.

4. I've been told I need a master list of some sort for my fics, which I always thought was funny since I haven't written that many, but whatever, I've bookmarked all of them at Delicious too, under fic-by-me. I even dug up my pathetic handful of old H/D fics, hah.

5. Speaking of H/D fics,

sexts and I are actually contemplating

hd_career_fair. o.O I haven't read any H/D fic in forever and I was so sure

hd_holidays would be our last fest, but. Who knows?

6. And speaking of fics in general, you've made me paranoid about my warnings, flist. :( But this is probably a good thing, right, to be more conscious about things like that? I checked all my fics to be sure, but they all have warnings on them where appropriate, go me! Didn't warn for death on the last one, but it was neither a violent death nor anything that couldn't be gleaned from the rest of the header, so. What's the standard for that, is it really a common trigger if the death is a peaceful one?

7. One more question: You know the banal "better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all" saying? It's so common for a reason, but what if someone (who the fuck am I kidding, you all know I'm talking about Castiel) never, ever dies and continues existing for all of eternity being bitter about that loss? Is it still better to have loved and lost? (depressing-as-shit fic idea is depressing-as-shit!)

Wow, the thing with the bashed in window just sucks. But I'm glad to hear that the rest of the trip was fun :)

Thanks for the fic recs, bb. I was so stressed out with big bang fics that I didn't have time to read any Dean/Cas fics *sadface* gonna start catching up with the ones you've recced :D
