Everything must go. Somewhere.

Anybody in the US want my copies of the Duet (Fraser/Kowalski) zines? They really ought to belong to someone who will not leave them sitting on the DVD shelf for four years and then go, "Huh. I... still own these." I will happily mail them to anyone willing to give them a good home, cheap as free. Zines rehomed!

Also, lease on the new apartment starts tomorrow (although Actual Moving does not happen until Friday). I've boxed up the last of the books and all the DVDs. Tomorrow's To Do list includes such items as "couch shopping" and "assemble shelves at new apartment" and "pack everything that can be packed".

And yet, what is it that I find myself carefully bracing myself for, and developing meticulous strategies for handling, emotionally? Yeah. Rereading Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow for the first time since I was in high school. (It's my book group's book for April, and we meet on the 9th. I will read pretty much anything for my book group, and I actually have been curious to read it again and see if the impact is anything like the same now that I'm not sixteen and Catholic.)

But seriously, I'm really scared.

My book club just read that too! The first time I read it I stayed up till 4am. This time it took me six week sbecause I kept cringing away because I knew what was coming. augh so tragic!! But still so good.

I'm seriously sitting here plotting it out like homework. Okay, if I can read fifty pages each day, I'll be done in plenty of time without having to read a REALLY LOT of it on any given day! And I can plot ridiculous OOC H/C fic for Meelo and ... somebody! ANYBODY!

EMILIO SANDOZ/JACK HARKNESS, I THINK THIS COULD WORK ACTUALLY. Uh. As long as Jack is willing to take it very, very slow. Very. Slow. Possibly stopping forever at cuddles. Whatever, I bet Jack's good at cuddles.

I would be happy to give these zines a good home. :)

Woot! Drop me an email at dsudis at yahoo with your mailing info. I should be able to send them out on Tuesday. :)

SO cool!

Jack is THE BEST at cuddles!
I feel much better already. Emilio will be fine! And cuddled.

[riverlight]

I have... never read the Sparrow, actually. Which is shocking, given its content, but. Never have.

I'll be curious how you feel about it now.

I am direly afraid that it will convince me that I need to write Priest!Nate IN SPACE. *g*

But, yeah, I must say I think it's probably right up your alley, thematically speaking. Although it is pretty unrelentingly grim in outlook.

More cuddled than anyone has ever been before! If necessary Jack will recruit an entire cult Institute whose sole purpose is to cuddle Emilio and make him feel safe! :D

[exceptinsects]

You have no idea how happy this makes me. The thought of a giant Emilio cuddle party is soothing some part of my soul that I didnt realize was actually that traumatized. :D

Now I am lovingly plotting how it starts, with Jack showing up in Rome to offer preliminary commiseration and a TARDIS-key stealth device so Sandoz can escape his notoriety at will, even if he doesn't want to run away with Jack....
