Yuletide reveal

Paul and Sarah Redmond, a Nip/Tuck story, NC-17, Christian/Quentin, Christian/Kimber, AU after "Madison Berg," which is when I plotted it -- and I'm pretty thankful I did, given what happened later. And yes, it's a crossover, though I don't think you have to know that for the story to make sense.

Best Mary Sue ever

privatetentacle, who along with having a superb LJ name wrote a really funny story about Clark and the movie Legend, also wrote a story in which Mary Sue brings Clark & Lex together again. Through the healing power of party planning. Sadly, it's not collected anywhere, but you can start here and then scroll your way back up through the most recent entries.

Stop me before I post again

I don't know what's happened to me. I think I've doubled the last month's posts today, but I was reading Salon's review of two books of writing about sex, and I feel the need to share that I literally did not understand this sentence -- "Perhaps I'm simply unenlightened, but I've never quite understood the desire to turn to writing for the same reasons one would turn to, say, pornography ..." until I read it a few times. I did not comprehend that for this man (are you surprised?) pornography and writing were non-overlapping categories. Also, Salon should really get a better title for the review. "The Joy of Writing Sex" is a little tired, don't you think? The books themselves sounded interesting, though.
