Clearing the tabs

grammarwomanOne of the features that I positively adore about Firefox 3.0 is the "Save open tabs when you close" option. Before, if I had a bunch of tabs dangling at quitting time, I had to bookmark them all and get back to them later. Now, I just shut down and they pop up again the next time I start Firefox. Fabulous.
So, here are some of the tabs I've had open that I wanted to pass along:
From everybody: Mighty God King posts re-titled sci-fi and fantasy epics from his adolescence, part one and part two. I can't decide which is scarier: that I've read most of these and can recognize them all, or that even as I'm giggling at the snark, I'd still go back and read several of them again. But only a few of them, as it's startling how much fanfic has spoiled me for good writing, characterization, and skill.
ETA: Oops. It appears he's gotten overloaded and/or suspended. Well, check back later.
Speaking of good fanfic,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seperis recommended this phenomenal piece by dsudis, Get Loved, Make More, Try to Stay Alive . It's a Torchwood story, Jack/Ianto. With mpreg. (For those of you who have no idea what that is, it's short for male pregnancy.) Now, before you recoil in horror, it's only 19% mpreg (claims the author), and it's actually feasible. But beyond that, it's an incredible love story, with time traveling and tech and dead-on representations of Torchwood and Doctor Who characters. It's long and wonderful and I felt sad at the end that there wasn't more to read, because it's an astounding piece of work.
Oh, and today's a Woot-off, too. Anyone snag a BoC yet?
Happy Wednesday!
