Unlikely but true: Jensen Ackles is prettier in HD. Still getting used to the color differences from my old TV, but really glad to see the full screen.
Interesting video from Kink for all, where participants talk fanfic.
I also wrote a little something:
Five More Deaths That Didn’t Matter, PG/gore
Prompt:![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
later_tuesday, 5 deaths Dean had during Mystery Spot (that weren't aired)
Stephen King, Blockade Billy: Baseball story; the only horror is human, when a new ballplayer joins the narrator’s team and isn’t quite right. Pretty much a trifle.
Jacqueline Lichtenberg, House of Zeor: One of Mely’s commenters, I think, described this postapocalyptic vampire tentacle slavefic as the dilating eyedrops before the slash goggles were applied, and that’s not a bad description. Hugh Valleroy, a Gen, enters Sime territory to find the woman he loves. Aisha’s kidnapping might just be the usual Sime raid seeking Gens, but because Aisha is important to the Gen government it might also be a move to destabilize Gen Territory entirely and drive all Gens into the pens. (Never very clear why one person would be enough to cause a breakdown given that pens = certain death given that most Simes need to kill a Gen every month to survive, but okay.) Hugh makes common cause with Klyd Farris, the most special channel of all, channels being Simes who can take energy from Gens without killing them and then transfer it to other Simes so that those Simes don’t need to kill. Prose: a little purple, slashiness: very very high, satisfaction to my fourteen-year-old self: almost infinite. We should have a reading club where we all read/reread the books and then write Sime/Gen for Yuletide. (Caution: Weird stuff where apparently everyone is mixed-race modulo white until they’re not; also predatory sexuality where the dominant social mores, against which our protagonists struggle, oppose Sime/Gen mixing more than coercion. And everybody is cool with the concept of buying a wife to keep a talented Gen happy.)
Claudia Gray, Stargazer: Sequel to Evernight, Bianca continues her dangerous relationship with vampire-hunter Lucas while struggling against her own desires, not to mention the attentions of fellow student/vampire Balthazar. The reappearance of Balthazar’s long-lost sister and the attentions of ghosts who seem to have a particular interest in Bianca complicate matters further. Bianca remains engaging, even if as is often the case the bad boy Balthazar’s attractions are more obvious than the good guy Lucas’s; exacerbated because for very good plot reasons Lucas is absent and Balthazar is not for much of the book.

It's true! I really fell for him when I downloaded SPN s2 in HD. I'm having trouble watching clips of his earlier work or interviews from YouTube because I miss the pretty, pretty HD details (mmmm, freckles... and eyelashes...).
