The Band Gazebo

I haven't done a good meme in ages and the AO3 one that is going the rounds looked like fun!

1. Most Hits - Not Quite Elsa (NCIS, Nick/Ellie)
2. Second Most Kudos - Legitimate Excuses (Criminal Minds, Garcia/Luke, AU meet cute featuring Roxy and Henry)
3. Third Most Comments - Four Moments - Harry Potter, Fred/Hermione
4. Fourth Most Bookmarks - Better Together (NCIS, Nick/Ellie, the single parents AU)
5. Fifth Most Words - Circle Unbroken (CSI Miami, Speed/Calleigh, an AU where Calleigh goes back home when her dad dies, using her backstory from the original CBS bios - remember them? A fic so old it can drink alcohol on both sides of the Atlantic)
6. Fic with Fewest Words - Things that Don't Change (word count 40) The Flash, Joe/Caitlin. A one sentence fic, which I usually don't do but there we are!


Quite interesting to me that out of 6 different criteria, I hit on five different fandoms. Not so big a surprise that the fandom with two stories is NCIS Nick/Ellie - it's the closest I've got to a canon pairing in a very long time (and no, I will not discuss how they ended it, instead I will be forever bitter and that's just fine with me) and it is/was a fandom/pairing with fans who shipped it and fans who wrote for it and that really is a rarity for my pairs!

Bit of a drive by here but two links to oral histories of the West Wing, from the Hollywood Reporter. Most of the stuff will not be new to long time fans but still nice to hear...

More The Following gifs on tumblr... will contain spoilers for the season finale. Both for big bang reference and just because.

Also, I have not discussed the finale; I haven't seen it. But I am spoiled and let's just say there are Beauty and the Beast season three levels of denial here.

I can handle dead people, you kill a dog, I go crazy - moment the second I fell in love with Mike.

I played softball as a kid

Found it!

Busy but productive day yesterday, crowned by the fact that my car passed its NCT, yay!

I did not look at the Superbowl, or tape it, for the first time in years. Hate the Niners, loathe the Ravens, nothing against those of you who follow them, but seriously could not care less. And that power outage would have seriously done me in, from the sounds of it...though I will YouTube Beyonce later!

Pimpage!

Perhaps only smiley-b will care about this but found while surfing YouTube - a St Elsewhere reunion, with a clip of yes, THAT scene!



I refuse to rant about it (though it was, is and e'er will be the most heinous act of hackery perpetuated by writers on an unsuspecting audience. Bobby in the shower? Insert Moffat moment here? They got nothing on the last few minutes of St Elsewhere!) though Chad seems to have a sense of humour about it....

Still having all the feelings about Who and I am not alone! Linking!

Missing the Ponds? You're not alone! Whether you want something fluffy to cheer you up, something angsty for any finale-induced tears, or just more Amy and Rory in general, you're more than welcome at the Amy/Rory Cheer-Up Comment-A-Thon! As is always true of ficathons, the more, the merrier--please do stop by, whether to prompt, write, or read! The more people we can get to participate, the better, so if you'd like to help promote, feel free to reblog this post on Tumblr or spread the word wherever you like!

A piece of my childhood was lost today...Ben Matlock, I knew you well. RIP Andy Griffith.

Couple of links here...one which will be very useful to any NCIS LA fans out there. Episode guide from a French website, which has transcripts of the episodes. Season three is going up at the moment and if you can picture me doing the dance of joy from my couch, then I am!

Fic link - In His Mind There Was Still Cello Music, SG1, post Unending and set during season four of Atlantis, though with no spoilers for the season, unless you count the big cast change from that season. Teal'c/Sam, implied Jack/Sam and oh man it broke my heart!

School continues; this morning's meeting did not go well but with the best possible outcome for me and the class in general. We shall see what the morning/week brings. Only what, four weeks left? Can't come soon enough!

I miss this show!!!!!
