I am nearly through the weeks from hell! I just have to write my English research essay today and hand it in tomorrow and I can finally take a breather. And then start studying for exams because the universe thinks it's hilarious to schedule things so I have them all in the same week (December 7-10). In the interests of giving everyone else a taste of my procrastination fodder I am going to link to some awesome things.

1) prozacpark's Katherine vid Cheap and Evil Girl is an excellent three minute demonstration of why Katherine Petrova has managed to edge her way into Favourite Character Status this season.

2) Relatives & Relativity - Doctor Who/Sense & Sensibility crossover where Nine meets the Dashwood sisters. Go ahead, it's cool, I'll still be here when you get back.

3)

Not my favourite Bollywood picturization but they are dancing on a moving train. Respect.

4) meloukhia's Glee critiques are basically perfect.

5) I deal with not being able to see the Harry Potter movie by reading every review I can find. anythingbutgrey does some awesome meta with regards to the movie's use of Holocaust imagery.

6)

This vid made me add Que Sera Sera to my To Watch list. The angst will be delicious. 8)

7) Assimilation

Mai's father argues to the Firelord that the Water Tribesmen can be educated and made into proper sorts of people. So Azulon sees he gets a boy to prove this on.

8) I prefer this translation of Sea of Shadows to the Tokyopop one.

9)

AHAHAHAHAHA. "Goddamn it CUT!"

10) Stephanie Brown summarizes 70 years of DC history. This is adorable.

So usually when I find good fanfiction I send it off to my friend Nav because she has an appreciation for Harry Potter fanfic which I highly approve of. :) Only lately I've been sending her tons of fic (it is summer, I have no life, this is established) so I thought, you silly person, why not post a rec on the journal? Besides, its an essay so why push my luck?

Sublimation and the Snitch

Okay, so essay as I mentioned earlier. Essay by Remus J. Lupin. Very clever essay by Lupin regarding Quidditch and sexuality in the wizarding world. Have I caught your attention yet? :D

Why do I love this fic? Well aside from the premise (if you have never snickered over broomstick related innuendo then you are obviously far more mature then me) it really sounds like Lupin. I love all the little digs he gets in at his professor for not letting him do all the research he wanted and the comments in the Appendix are GOLD. Also, please read the referencing notes, they are honestly some of the funniest things in the whole fic.

P.S. If nothing else, read it for Gordon, the bi-sexual werewolf gossip columnist. Please?
