LJ post up the wazoo!

+---+translation

Okay, now this is just fucking cool. Once upon a time, someone named Sasha_Engel emailed me asking permission to translate my X2 fic, Superglue, to Russian. I was squeeful and flattered like woah and gave her permission, asking for the URL of the finished product. She never replied back with a URL, but today I found it while Googling my email address.

Superglue (Russian translation)

How fucking awesome is that? I'm all a-squee!


+---+recs

You know, I thought I had all summer to write and finish off my WIPs, but suddenly my summer's ending in two weeks. What the fuck? I have a lot of shit to write, but for now I have non-shit to rec, in titular alphabetical order.

At The Pub by [livejournal.com profile] copperbadge. RPF. JK Rowling, Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman. I don't believe you when you say you're not curious. PG.
As he puts it: "The book we'll never see..."
QUOTE: "Yes, the woman whose 'if you liked this book, try these!' lists my books always end up on."

Bruno Walton for Student Body President by [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock & [livejournal.com profile] throughadoor. Bruno and Boots. Boots/Bruno. PG13.
I haven't feedbacked this yet, which is bad of me, because I really should. I also haven't replied to [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock's beautiful post about immigrating to America, which I also really should. This is a collection of IC (i.e. amusing!) emails exchanged between Bruno and Boots in college.
QUOTE: Just in case my appreciation has not been made completely clear any time in the last five years, thank you so much for almost getting us suspended so that we could get a pool. Of all the times that you almost got us kicked out of the Hall, the time you almost got us kicked out of the Hall so that we could get a pool was definitely the best time.

This Is How It Happens by [livejournal.com profile] queenofhell. RPS. Ryan Gosling/Justin Timberlake. PG13.
I love how Proserpina writes, like, the randomest ships? And writes them well? And seriously, who doesn't love well-written rare ships? Chicka bow chicka bow bow!
QUOTE: This is how it happens: with “hello” and “nice to see you again” and a manly, backslapping, distant hug. You look at him and see yourself if you had gone another path, and you think, Thank God. Not me.
And then you think of yourself with your blonde hair and white-white smile on TV, and think, Okay, maybe me.



+---+icons

Also, I've found it is possible to get icon-maker's block. I've started some of those Help! icons, but it's hard to concentrate when your brain is going blaaaaaahlalalalalah all the time. So I only made two of those. I bring you Lock, Stock icons as well, but only eight.

1) 2)

3) 4) 5) 6)
7) 8) 9) 10)

In every rocking, rolling caper movie, there is the hot guy who is screencapped with a pensive expression on his face. This leads to artsy icons that MAKE NO SENSE. Like number 9 up there, among others. Well, guys, but a kid's got to emo what a kid's got to emo.

Anyway, you guys know the deal. Brush credits are here. If taking any, would you please be so kind as to credit 'lassiterfics' in the keywords. Not 'lass' or 'lassiter' or indeed 'fics', but 'lassiterfics'. I'd really appreciate it, because I don't want to be confused with this guy here, as I don't plan to have that kind of hairline until I'm well into my octogenarian years.

Seacrest out.

Perhaps "envy" is the wrong word. After all, instead of gnashing my teeth at these successes of yours, I'm thrilled for you. ::grins:: So I don't think that "envy" quite fits. But yes, teh_lurve. In abundance.

I do wish your muses could talk mine into being more productive. You know, give a motivational speech...or maybe put guns to their heads...
