A little update

[caliente_uk]

It's been a while since I posted anything on LJ.  Life has been pretty quiet since my cousin's passing.  If I'm honest, I've been spending a little less time on LJ or my regular posting board and more time losing myself in fanfic.  Fanfic has been my escape from the reality that is my life.  Thank goodness for it.  I hope all of you wonderful authors out there are going to be around for a long time to come.

If anyone is in search of any good Spuffy fics, go check out makd's spuffy recs.  There are some great stories in there.  :)  No eurydice72 though, which is a shame.  I can't recommend her stories highly enough.

[Bad username or unknown identity: best William/Buffy fic out there imo.]

[Bad username or unknown identity: I hope everyone on my friends list is well.  I'm sorry if I've been a little remiss in replying to your posts this past week.]

[Bad username or unknown identity: I'm planning on rectifying that situation very soon.  :)  ] 

*hugs to you all*

S'ok Caliente, we all understand. Love you girly.

*hugs*

Thanks, Rae. Love you, too. *hugs*

Thanks for the mention; I appreciate it.

As for eurydice72: never read any of her work...If I were to read one, which one would you recommend I start with? (I just started to read my first enigmaticblues, so I am deep into Cast Away right now, and any other fic must be _short_.)

Hope to see you on one of the boards soon. :)

There's some great fic on your list that I hadn't read. Thanks for all the hard work you've been doing, makd. I've loved reading the results from the 'ship survey.

As for eurydice72: never read any of her work...If I were to read one, which one would you recommend I start with?

I must warn you...most of her fics are fairly long. Which one would I recommend? How about all of them? *g* I've loved them all. The only one I haven't read is "By Rook or by Crook", but that's only because I don't like all human fics.

If I had to recommend one, it would actually be the William/Buffy one, "Legions of True Hearts". I can't praise that one enough.

You can find it at Eurydice's site: http://www.loveslastglimpse.com/

I meant to thank you for recommending enigmaticblues work. That's the second rec I've had for her work today. I've checked her site out and her work looks like exactly the sort of fic I'd love. :)

hugs right back at you...fyi-i started a rec page on my site http://www.mymetaphor.com. I read all over the place so you may not have read everything there, so check it out. I have a bad cold so i've been bedridden for the past two days and last night started at the top of makd's list, and it's wonderful - just like all of her rec lists. I always find something new (avid reader here, so that's hard for me to do.) Take care...

oh, thank you! Such a nice compliment. It's appreciated.

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

I already have your site bookmarked. I'll definitely be checking out the recs page. The more new fic I find to read, the better. Thank you. :)

Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. Hope you're feeling better soon. *hugs to you*

Good to hear from you, Cal. I'm sorry about your cousin, though. I didn't know.

Take care, my dear.

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Fer. *hugs*

If you didn't know it already, you're one of my fav spuffy authors, too. :) Not putting you under any pressure (you know I'll wait for as long as it takes), but Third Chances is the best post NFA fic I've read.

I'm still reading and loving your NaNoWriMo (I'm sure I've got that wrong ;)) fic, Fer. I don't think I commented on your last chapter, but now that I'm getting back into the swing of things, I'll be back to commenting as normal.

*hugs to you*

Hey there, hon. Fanfic is a much safer way to lose one's self than a lot of others. {{Cal}} I'll check out the sites you recc'd. :)

You know how to get a hold me if you need to.

Love you! {{{{Cal}}}}

[caliente-uk.livejournal.com]

Love you too, Barb. {{{Barba}}}

Honestly, I can't recoommend Eurydice's work highly enough. Legions is wonderful. If all you want is PWP, then this is not for you. But if you want a moving, well written story, with some NC-17 woven into the plot, then you'll definitely love this one. I fell in love with William in this fic. He almost made me forget about Spike...but only almost. ;) Eurydice has just started to post the sequel. :)

Can you tell I'm in love with this fic? *g*

You know how to get a hold me if you need to.

The same goes for you, Barb. Even if I'm not on the board, you can email me any time. I'm always available to you. *hugs*

Recommend even. LOL!! :D
