So I've decided that my project for the hiatus is going to be to do drabble-caps. Recaps in 100 words (I'm sure someone else has done this before under a different name, but since I don't know about it I'm pretending it's all my idea) My fanfic muse is on hiatus with the show, but I want to write something and this feels like something I can do.

My achievable goal is to be caught up with season 6 by the time hiatus is over; my ambitious goal is to eventually do drabble-caps for each episode. I'm not normally going to cut these--they are only 100 words after all (not including titles and episode numbers)

FYI to anyone who is following me on twitter, I’m closing that account. I haven't been on in months and there is just too much of the same thing over and over most of which I find on lj a few minutes later anyway.

On another note, I'm starting to love Lucas... he might actually work. I'm probably in the minority thinking that but... I liked him with Chase tonight.

I love poetry.

So this topic kind of kills me because I have so many favorites. However I think I'm going to pick Robert Frost’s "Death of a Hired Man" It’s a conversation between a farmer, Warren and his wife Mary about a hired man they’ve employed in the past whose come to ask for work (or to find a comfortable and familiar spot to die) Warren and Mary debate the meaning of the word “Home”. Warren, in the most famous line of the poem, says that “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.” To which Mary replies, (and I always get goose bumps when I read it)

“I should have called it

Something you somehow haven’t to deserve.”

The idea that a place of comfort and peace is perhaps the one thing you shouldn’t have to work for or measure up to…makes me cry every time.  

Ok guys I was in the enviable position of being a beta to the Big Bang Fic Adagio by Kimbari

Which can be read here, http://housebigbang.panfandom.ca/fiction/adagio.htm 

And I can't recommend it more highly. It is the story of a love triangle between House, Cuddy and Julian a 30 year old ballet dancer who has the good sense to fall in love with Cuddy at first sight.  

Seriously guys, excellent LONG work (30k words) and complete. I admit I'm biased, I tend to volunteer to beta for really excellent writers (which makes gushing about what they write easier) but I you'll love it.  snark, sex, drama, dancing, sex, fighting, Jewish mothers, baby's...  I cry (and laugh) every time I read it.   

There are 14 other excellent fics at the archive to be read and enjoyed (and I'm looking forward to all of them, but no time to read and rec all tonight) and there are another 13 from last year so if you are looking for long fics of all descriptions this is very entertaining archive.

So, avidreadergirl, your LiveJournal reveals...
