It's a long weekend here and I have a cold... so I found myself feeling fannish for the first time in ages. But what fandom? *sighs* I'm so out of the fandom world. I feel like a fish out of water all of a sudden. Noooooo.

Loving the SPN promo. That'll be interesting once it's out.

But I was thinking I'd like to get into some Marvel Avengers fic. I read a pre-slash sort of Clint Barton/Phil Coulson h/c fic today and rather liked it. Anyone got some recs for me? I'd love anything with Clint in it. Jeremy Renner is way too delicious for words. I'm rewatching The Bourne Legacy as I type this actually.

I am psyched that some of the new shows out this season seem interesting. Agents of SHIELD seems quirky and will hopefully get more interesting as the characters develop. Sleepy Hollow is rather cool. They cast the main guy well.

Nothing much else to report. *cough snuffle* Just under the weather and hoping for some reading material. *bats eyes and looks pathetic* Any recs for stuff you think I might enjoy... please do drop me a line.

Yeah, I'm down with a freakin' cold, too. Coughing, sneezing, snotty mess. :(

I think I might have some that're bookmarked on AO3 . Its not all of them, but should give you a starting point?

Bleh, colds. I despise being sick!
Thanks I'll check 'em out! :D

You might find some fic you haven't read yet on my delicious page here: http://delicious.com/leoraine/fic-rec,fandom%3Aavengers

Thanks dude! :D
Edit: We have similar tastes. Loving your recs! :D

Glad to be of help;-) You can check out recs for other fandoms as well if you feel like it, most of them should be in the same vein as the Avenger ones:-D

Sorry, I haven't been looking at recent fandom. I've been having a period of needing absolute comfort watching and reading, so I've gone all the way back to the beginning of Stargate SG1, which I watched when it first came out with a great flatmate. So not only am I enjoying Jack and Daniel and Sam and Teal'c, I'm also being taken back to what seems in retrospect to be a simpler time. (It can't really have been - for some of it I was studying law.)

I'm really looking forward to Agents of Shield! I love that it's being fast-tracked. I hope it lasts, and doesn't get shunted to some late-night timeslot on a digital channel. Most Australians don't seem to really sci fi. :-(

I hope your cold gets better soon. How come you've got a long weekend?

Canberra has two more public holidays then any other state or territory. Go the Public Service. I believe today is Family and Community Day, which replaced some other holiday a few years back which was no longer considered PC. Can't remember what it was though.

Ahh good old SG1. I'd like to re-watch the whole series one day. I started re-watching the X Files and that's been rather fun! SG1 and Xfiles are shows I watched before I discovered online fandoms. Stargate Atlantis was my first online fandom. :)

It will be interesting to see what sort of reception Agents of SHIELD gets. It's scifi, yes, but it's quirky because it's Joss Whedon. But then most Joss Whedon gets axed despite a strong following. But then it's based on Marvel and Super heroes are doing well. Arrow is still in prime time. Hmmmm. We'll see.

Thanks for the well-wishes. I'm still faintly hopeful I'll be better before I have to work tomorrow. I hate working when I'm sick. Everyone gives you death glares in a shared office, but if I go home I'm gonna get really behind.
