In non-Astrological news: Site update!

[icarus]

I was productive while LJ was down. Icarus Slash Fiction updates with lotsa neat stuff.

Guy Talk And The Tall Tale Behind It. The story notes requested long ago for Guy Talk.

Detailed recs - A Harry Potter Starter Kit. This is more than original starter kit, I've written reviews of about 30 stories. *whew*

A new HP writing essay - How To Avoid The WIP Meander.

And two Stargate stories are finally up -

Shy Guy NC-17. Very. Jack/Daniel.
An assignation. "Daniel took off his glasses and sank to his knees. One foot knocked against a bottle of bleach, while in front of him Jack shouldered between the clatter of a broom handle and some metal shelves."

A Solid Foundation PG-13, Jack/Daniel.
"What is there between you and Daniel?" Carter asks some personal questions. (Vignette set in season one.)



ETA: Fixed link to Guy Talk. Whoops.

You want to know what stories on that list I hadn't read? I'm sure you wouldn't credit how vast my ignorance is, in fact.

No, I haven't read Dien's "Rain," but also most of the Percy stories were unknown to me. It's a pairing I'd been resisting, mostly because it makes me uncomfortable how well I understand how his mind works. Truly, I just squirm, reading many Percy fics. Snape, on the other hand, is always interesting to me, since I can hardly imagine being him. But if you recommend it (and esp. if Snape is the other partner), I'll try them.

I'd read almost every one of your kink stories. This says a lot about me, no doubt. The ones I didn't read (e.g., "In Thrall" or most of Amanuensis's work) are ones I really don't enjoy, since there's a limit to how far I can go along with non-con and d/s stories. The better written they are, the more I can't read them. I tried to deal with how I feel about those stories in my "Tragedy, H/C, and Catharsis" essay.

Some of the gen stories were new: "The Art of War" and "The Durmstrang Chronicles." And when I went to look them over briefly (before sorting them into my "to read" folder) I began to quiver: the first, according to the author's note, was inspired by the hands-down best Star Trek fan novel ever published (a book by John Ford which I had to buy twice, since I'd worn out my first copy), and the second is apparently going to make good use of the Central European setting. *sighs happily* My liking for German in hp stories has to be the rarest (and silliest) kink in the fandom.

And I hadn't read the "Circles of Power" series, although I had read her Lodger series. Can't understand how I missed her other set of stories.

Um, the link to the "Tao of Job" is not good (on my browser). Can you give me the URL?

Oh those German authors. You're in for a treat. Here's the corrected link to Tao: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~percyfest/fic/job01.html
