Various, including writing question
This (unfavorable) review of The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss made me smile.
If you’re wondering about S&P’s threat to downgrade US debt, you might want to check out the story of one of S&P’s greatest hits, a CDO of CDOs for Magnetar, as reported by the Pulitzer-Prizewinning series by Pro Publica.
Also, a relatively new Steven Brust short story, The Desecrator.

further was kind enough to include A Life Less Invulnerable in a big list of SV recs, And it reminded me of something that was unusual for me as a writer about that story, but that I thought worked. I thought of the story very cinematographically: it consists of three segments and two focus pulls. The first segment is written in what seems like objective POV, with no real access to interior thoughts, then it pulls back to Clark, then it pulls back to Lex (who, I'm afraid, I tend to write as seeing more of the details).
Does anyone else ever write like that? Not imagining the scene visually, but actually thinking about writing as borrowing techniques from other media? I'm interested in these kinds of crossovers, like when comic book techniques enter movies and TV.

Also, occasionally my betas yell at me for breaking a section where there'd be a commercial break in the show. ;)

bravo
You just have too many excellent stories for me to single out one or two! I recced 'em all!
I have to mention that it was delightful to read A Life Less Invulnerable again- though, of course, the minute I was done, it was murder not to just keep going to the next fic! And the next!!
