beccaelizabethAm reading Border Princes.
Why does anyone think we want to read this?
I mean as Marty Stu character insert AU fanfic goes it isn't egregiously bad. It has a plot and the sex scenes thus far fade to black. It's just... making someone new the star of the show? Works in a 40 minute funny Buffy episode, but gets really really annoying trying to read it novel length. Or, actually, got plenty annoying enough by page 42, but I've run out of things to read.
I don't think the author is as clever as the author thinks they are.
And I really don't want to see everyone interacting with newbie in his Paragon 'verse, it's such bollocks it doesn't tell us anything about them.
on the plus side a new book just arrived in the post.
and it isn't currently snowing. which is yaay. because two days with no chocolate is obviously too many.
... I really need to stop expanding laterally like I am, but I also would quite like to eat much chocolate. these things are unmixy. is very unfair.
also, headaches+sleep should = no more headache, not just a headache that kind of sulks and lurks around the edges.
