My new favorite fanfic until the next one.

(Icon irrelevant except that Amy is even awesomer than this fic and tomorrow is Saturday which = DOCTORDAY. AGAIN. AND EVERY WEEK FOR MANY WEEKS.)

Ahem!

The awesome fic is Harry Potter fic which I totally assumed, upon reading the title, was Harry Potter fic where Harry is raised by Vulcans, and you know what? I was not entirely wrong. This really is, I think, a lot like the story of what would happen if ten-year-old Spock found out he was, incidentally, also the Boy Who Lived. Or if Jim Kirk had been raised by Sarek and Winona Amanda after losing his parents and then found out he was the Boy Who Lived.

Uh. This was meant to be a fic rec, not a horrible-plot-bunny generator. MOVING ALONG.

This story also, not coincidentally, reminds me a bit of--was it synecdochic's?--story of what SGA might have been like if they had just turned the stupid-generator off. And God knows the world needs more stories of that variety, so here:

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

...Yes, it's on ff.net, and yes, it's a WIP, and you know what, I don't care. But for my own fic-following convenience, I have attempted to turn the RSS feed option into a DW feed: hpmethods_feed. That should update when the fic updates. The link it serves up goes to the author's profile, where notes for each new chapter will appear, so I think that makes sense.

(The last time I attempted to create a feed of a blog it wound up bringing me every comment posted to that blog and I had to open a service request and let denise sort me out, so now I'm really skittish about feed-creating. But this one seems okay, so far.)

If LJ is making you crazy enough today to warrant it, I have one Dreamwidth invite that needs a home. (And if you can't comment on LJ to claim it, feel free to click through to the DW post and comment there--just let me know an email address to send it to.)


ETA: Mine's gone, but there's always dw_codesharing!

You could call it a total failure of self-control.

But I like to think of it as a triumph in the legal acquisition of British TV on DVD.

The thing is, okay, I was all "Self, it is time you got some Classic Who on DVD" and "Oooh, Five is pretty" and "Hey, what about that Turlough" and "Oh look my local B&N has The Black Guardian Trilogy in stock and I have to go to the mall anyway to buy clothes and dot dot dot."

And, okay, look! I was good! I did not also pick up Logopolis and Castrovalva! I left those for another time!

...But somebody had stuck the box set of the Dorothy L. Sayers Mysteries in the middle of the Doctor Who and you know what movies the Internet Fairies really genuinely do not seem to be able to help me with? Yeah. Peter and Harriet, that's what.

Soooo I bought them both and now I have lots of lovely British people to watch on my telly this weekend.

Also, Moleskine now makes notebooks in a lovely dark red. I AM ONLY HUMAN OKAY.
