Is it possible to be intensely focussed and easily distracted at the same time?

In case anyone's been living in a cave and doesn't know, shrift and nestra have updated their Polyamorous Recommendations site. Gen, het and slash all represented.

Just awesome.

I've been happily jumping from fandom to fandom - an inspired Scrubs JD/Cox fic, anyone? A couple of fabulous Good Omens fics, maybe? Why not try out Friday Night Lights, or Full Metal Alchemist? I just did. I haven't tried the Pirates of the Caribbean/Harry Potter or the Highlander/Temeraire crossovers yet. I just like to look at them and feel happy that they exist.

Except now I'm distracted. I was happily reading through a few SGA fics and came across Converging, by Purna, which is an AU where John is a lifeguard, and is NOT the light and fluffy fic it sounds. And it made me fall in love with Sheppard and McKay all over again and I've had to take a break to watch SGA songvids. A lot. And for the very first time I thought... I wonder when season 3 starts...

So now all I want is all McShep, all the time. Only - I haven't even touched on so many of the fandoms there - I mean, I see KANEKO's been writing Torchwood. Kaneko. Torchwood. I could just go look, it wouldn't hurt just to look...


The other day I was talking at to cricketk about how I'd spent the weekend watching many hours of Rome and adoring Pullo and Veronus together, interspersed with a lot of Dr Who vids on youtube, and reading a whole heap of new Eroica fics I'd just discovered and cricketk stared at me from under her Jawa hood and said, "sarren, you're just NOT NORMAL".

The end.

Yay! Thanks for the heads up. I haven't checked out that site in ages.

You're gonna see it?? *bounce*

No, I thought I'd totally ignore the fandom that one of my best friends loves so much.

Duh.

I love that site, but the range of new stuff in SGA isn't that big--they tend to stick to the same authors over and over (authors who are admittedly worth reading :). You will have read it all already, though. If you want newer stuff, I've been putting all my recent bookmarks into delicious: http://del.icio.us/rec_room.

sarren: Thanks for the heads-up! I'm currently working my way through the small fandoms. Yum.
