Fangirl All The Things

[ladymercury_10]

Wishing a happy belated Thanksgiving to fellow US-ians and a lovely weekend to all!  Having survived my midterms, I spent the first half of my Thanksgiving break overloading on comic books and graphic novels.  (Have I mentioned lately that I love the local library in the town where I go to school?  Because I do.)  And the library also got me the Seventh Doctor Audio "Night Thoughts," so I listened to that, and then I watched "Battlefield" today.  I meant to do a lot of writing, especially for yuletide, over the break, but I've mostly just been catching up on sleep and fangirling things.  Which, Ace and Shou Yuing are adorable together, and if there exists fanfiction of them having sleepovers and braiding each other's hair and exploding non-critical pieces of architecture, I would be much obliged if someone would tell me where it is.  And I expect I've found most of the Ace/Hex that exists, but I would so like to be proven wrong. :)  

Just for my own reference, and in case anyone cares, the comics I was reading are:

Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall
Batman: The Court of Owls
Nightwing: Year One
A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel
and the first two issues of Li'l Gotham

Now with a postscript, because I remembered that I have More Doctor Who Thoughts, due to the Brig being in "Battlefield": According to TARDIS Index File, Kate Stewart was born in the early 70's, so does that mean that at some point she and Ace were roughly the same age and were hanging out and comparing notes on alien invasions?  Or maybe that's what they did when they grew up? :D

Oh dear, I'm sorry if I'm distracting you, haha. :P Glad you could find it, though!

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

oh please, no worries.

I'm reading Batgirl Rising, btw ♥ Stephanie's been adorable and kick-ass so far ♥

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

She pretty much never stops being adorable and kick-ass. ♥ I love her sense of humor and her big heart and how she never loses hope.

Oh, yes, she and Barbara are a fabulous team. :) And you are very welcome! shinyjenni got me hooked on it this summer, and now it is one of my favorite things, so I am always happy to pass along the rec. :D

ALSO if you have any time in life, for the love of everything nice on this Earth, read Sandman.

I tried reading the first one this summer, and I couldn't finish it. It was too dark for me, which is sad, because it does have some really lovely bits tucked in with the scary ones. :|

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

Oh, true, the first one's VERY dark, I remember <3 it gets lighter, a lot lighter at some points, and then A LOT darker as well ♥

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Ah, maybe I should try a different one, then, if they aren't all equally dark.

[fluffyfrolicker.livejournal.com]

Yes. I'd definitely recommend Season of Mists, which is darkish, but DEFINITELY not as much as the first one, and IF YOU READ ANYTHING, read Brief Lives, my favorite :)

Cool, thanks! I will keep those in mind next time I go to the library. :)
