recs anybody?

Dear sweet Listfriends

So where are all the recs? I've been reduced to digging around in backlists from the year 2000! What have I missed in my switchover from one Mac to another, rec-wise?

I really would like to read some good fic, any fandom (but SGA and HP always welcome), any pairing (but anything with Draco in is always welcome, and I do like Zelenka, but Rodney/John fics tend to be the best in terms of sizzle these days), any length! Just something that you liked!

Friday sounds good to me. Hang on, so are we saying the 3rd or the 10th?

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Let's say the tenth because the third is liek tomorrow! Can you do the tenth? Shall we go to London? Txt me!

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I thought we were talking about February. We are talking about March? Bizarrely, the 3rd and the tenth are also Fridays in March.

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

Confusing, isn't it? But yes, March. So, yes. 3rd or the tenth of March? London would be fun. We could go somewhere and do something!

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Third of March is good! Am going to Manchester weekend after. Let's do the third!

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

Ok, the third it is! What do you fancy doing?

London?

Coffee? A show? A film? A play?

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

Well, coffee certainly sounds like a good start!

I'd love to go to London, but I'm just a tad bit worried about the amount of money I've been spending on train tickets lately. Would it be very boring of me to come to Cambrige instead? It's just, arrg, a ticket to London costs over twice as much, which is stupid and annoying.

What do you think? Is there anything you'd particularly like to see or do?

Or I could just say sod it and go to London anyway. Oh dear - am all indecisive! :(

Oh, I'd be happy for you to come to Cambridge! I just didn't think you'd want to, it's so boring here. I can even come to Ipsypoo but that may also be boring...? Or hey, we could go to Saffron Walden and really branch out!

Actually, I've never been to Saffron Walden. I hear the bookshops are good. It's worth a thought!!

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

Oh now, you see, Cambridge isn't boring to me because I don't live there. Ipswich is, I fear, boring whether you live here or not.

And I've never been to Saffron Walden either! Maybe we should do Saffron Walden. We could go on a little tour!

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Let's keep all this in mind. You could come to Cambridge and we could go motoring to Saffron Walden. What fic could one possibly set here? There needs to be a fen fandom. The proverbial fendom!! *dies of punnage* Puddleglum lives here, of course.

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

I think this sounds like a fabulous idea. FENS! :) Actually I think you ought to be able to set any fic in the fens, with a bit of tinkering.

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Too right.

I'd already made Hermione do her Ph.D. at Cambridge so that I could lure Draco there, with whatever flimsy narrative excuse. He'll confuse all the dons with wizards!! Because of the robes!!! Actually, this sounds more like crackfic and could be a secondary subfic. Hah! I'm having a BUNNY, omg, haven't had one of those since 2003. Sort of like having kittens. And then he could see the provost of Senate House with his sceptre and think it's a wand!!
