Of this and that and some fic recs :)

Last night, I was browsing Amazon, just looking at the jigsaw puzzles they offer there... Nya, what surprised me is that there are so many ugly ones there! Yikes. You see, I love puzzles with Thomas Kinkade's pictures. Some call them kitch, but when I look at them, I feel peaceful and warm and simply good. There are no harsh edges, only smooth lines and colors. But I must tell you that even in my country, they offer many many more puzzles with his pics *surprised*

You know what I don't like? When authors label their het stories as gen. That's a pretty common occurrence especially in the The Magnificent Seven fandom. A good portion of the gen fics includes Chris dating Mary at some point. I don't exactly mind het stories but I want to know what I'm getting into!

Someone started a petition for Danneel Harris to appear on Supernatural? *rolls eyes* That's like the fourth or fifth petition of some sort just this month!

And now to the recs:

Charmed: "Of All the People" by teal-lover - if you want to read a good gen Charmed fic that concentrates mostly on the relationship between Wyatt and Chris, pick this one. It's really good and long and finished! In this story that's set shortly after Chris Crossed, Wyatt starts thinking about what Chris means to him and what's Chris doing...

Supernatural: "Godzilla" by quellefromage - it's a gen fic and very much on the hurt!Dean side. It's a coda to both The Benders and Born Under a Bad Sign. Dean gets injured again and again and he remembers that when he got hurt as a child in a car accident, he and his father watched the movie Godzilla together making all the hurt better. A very touching and long story :)

When authors label their het stories as gen.

That's a pet peeve of mine, too. I dislike mis-labeling and non-labeling very much. I usually won't read those authors again.

Exactly! I don't like it when stories are not labeled at all. Or when they don't have summaries. I mean, it's one thing to be surprised, but to not know anything at all about the story... well, I tend to avoid such authors...

Wyatt's thinking that right after "Chris Crossed"? Is this future Wyatt or little Wyatt?

I heard about that petition and took a deep breath. Not another petition!

I've always loved Thomas Kincade.

It's future Wyatt, that's why I liked this fic. I very much prefer future fics in this fandom with grown-up Chris and Wyatt :)

Yup, exactly my reaction to the petition :D

Isn't Thomas Kinkade great? *beams*
