Nothing too serious, just me doing some housekeeping with my bingo cards ;)

( it's bingo season... )

As selenic76 put it so nicely in her last entry, fic recommendations can be a wonderful portal to a new fandom world. Now, Leverage is not new to me, not at all, and like with White Collar, the post-series stories are probably the best ever, since the possibilities their lives could have developed are pretty much endless.

This story is just this side of sweetness, with the typical traits fans associate with Eliot, Parker and Hardison spot on, only in smaller packages. (No, not a de-age fic!)

Just go and read it!

I finally finished both of my entries for the WC Reverse Big Bang, and honestly, I'm glad. While it was one kind of a blast, I was thrown into a loop by a sudden bout of writer's block quite in the middle, and that's just frustrating. But, as the saying goes, all's well that ends well (with a total word count shy below 40,000 words), and I can read the entries so far to this year's BB.

Third and final entry for selenic76's February Fandom Fest, and the last stretch of my journey through my fandom life. Once again, I hope you enjoy this trip!

As with the other two entries before, I deliberately refrain from reccing any stories here as well, but I do advise anyone who reads this here to follow one of the links I provide afterwards and explore this wonderful fandom on your own.

(if you fancy it, there are lots of wonderful RPF stories for the actors on that site)

As I said in the last paragraph under the cut, White Collar opened the doors to LiveJournal to me. And while there are bunches of journals out there dedicated to the show and/or its actors, here are some personal favorites of mine:

elrhiarhodan: the "Queen" of our fandom, the driving force behind so many activies, and the one with some of the most beautiful stories I've ever read in this fandom.

kanarek13: "Mistress of Arts"; her talent for creating actual works of art never cease to amaze me, and many a story had the honor to be graced by an artwork coming from her.

treonb: If you want to watch some really good fanvideos, please head over to this journal; they ewoke all different emotions, and all of them are done in high quality.

I hope you liked this entry. And if you have any questions about the show or think of a site out there that I should check out, please tell me in your comments.

The following is my first entry to selenic76's February Fandom Fest. Hope you enjoy it!

As for many others too, watching TV shows and series was an essential part of me growing up. My very first "fandoms" were the animated shows of the late 1970's and early 1980's, like "Heidi", "Nils Holgersson" and "Wickie". Later on, they were followed and/or substituted by shows like "Knight Rider", "Baywatch" or "John Jakes' North & South".

Dreams Are My Reality

Word count: 100 on the nose.

Spoilers: not really

Summary: Dean realizes that dreams can be deceiving.

Notes: Written for spn_bigpretzel's „D.E.W. - Drabble Every Weekend" on LJ. Character prompt was Mary Winchester, theme prompt „sleep/dreams". Set at the beginning of Season 4. Title comes from a song by Richard Sanderson.

Disclaimer: Still haven't found the right spell to magically make them mine. *grabs the next book*


When he was a kid, Dean either dreamed of becoming a mechanic, like his daddy John, or he dreamed of angels. Sure, when you hear every night before you go to sleep that „Angels are watching over you", your mind tends to settle on that topic.

But now, after being rescued from Hell by an actual angel, Dean couldn't help but being a little bit disappointed. All through his childhood, he imagined angels as beautiful as his mother Mary, with kind eyes, a soft smile and long blond hair – which Castiel wasn't at all. Guess he could live with that.
