caz963I’m not a great reader of fic in other fandoms, but just occasionally, I spot something, or have something rec’d to me and I decide to give it a whirl, given the dearth of decent fic out there in my fandoms.
A while back![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
imperviousness pointed me in the direction of michellek’s 30 Rock fic, and I’ve been meaning to spread the word.
She writes mainly Jack/Liz, and the voices are spot on, so if you liked the show and aren’t averse to that pairing, it’s definitely worth checking out.
Then today, I was going through my f-list and found this Heroes fic rec’d at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
crack_van. The little snippet included in the summary intrigued me, so I read it. It’s the first piece of Heroes fic I’ve read, and although I doubt I’ll be delving much into that fandom, I’d definitely give anything else by selenak a second look, because this one is very good and very funny. (There are spoilers for the rest of the season if you’re watching it on BBC2!)
On a complete tangent - while wading through a mountain of ironing yesterday, I stuck on the TV and watched The Hudsucker Proxy, which I haven't seen in ages. I know it got a bit of a mixed reception critcally when it came out, but I really liked it (and I'll watch practically anything with Tim Robbins in) - it's worth watching for Jennifer Jason Leigh's fantastic Katherine Hepburn/Rosalind Russell impression alone!
Oh, and I finally got around to reading the latest (?) Terry Pratchett while I was away - Thud!. Fabulous as ever; he's one of those authors who just seems to keep getting better. The last half dozen or so books in particular have really impressed me, with the way he tackles quite serious subjects (this latest one dealt with fanaticism and fundamentalism of all things!) with humour and a large dollop of common sense. I'm looking forward to the next one which is out just in time for my birthday so at least I'll be able to think of something when I'm asked what I want!
Right, well now I'm off to take the kids bowling by way of a belated birthday party for Elinor.
