update, muzak request, and rec
Oct. 1st, 2006 11:31 pmHuge fricken fic reccomendation: Okay, I am so behind on pimping this bitch.
E Pluribus Unum is a Daily Show/Colbert Report RPF.
No, wait, stop, come back here!
Okay, seriously, I avoid RPS/RPF like a plague. It leaves me feeling squeamish. But this, this is an epic. This, I feel, will be one of the fics people will cite years from now when asked "is RPF even on the same level as normal fic?", and this will prove RPF can be above and beyond normal fic.
The story, according to the summary is: 'Fall 2016. The reformed Patriot Act pressures all forms of the media to comply with the new policies. Stephen dares to defy the FCC and censors, ready to face the consequences. He finds salvation in an anonymous e-mail, signed with the nickname of a man he believed died years ago.'
The genre is correctly listed as a dystopian suspense thriller. It's a scarily accurate image of Orwell's worst nightmares come true. The story starts off, in the Prologue, with Jon Stewart's disappearance, then continues in Part One with a world gone to hell. The story is extremely well researched without giving you the sensation of reading a textbook, which is a big plus for me. It's smart, has humor, has introspection, and a load of tension and awesomeness. The writing itself is very good, better than usual seen in fannish work.
It is a WiP. If you know me at all, you know that I hiss and hide at the mention of a WiP, but this is so good, I refuse to miss out.
So, I'm reccing this as a fangirl with an RPS-squick, but a huge amount of respect for a project as colossal as this one. I'm helping my girl Chi make a trailer vid of this, and I have some spoiler info of future events. So, if this fic doesn't end up blowing your mind, you can take it out onme Chi me.
Go read it!
In other news.
Fic: Working on it. Listen, folks, I have three major fic projects going on. One is a long, slash H/C that revolves around Lassiter being heavily injured ont he job with Shawn and the aftermath. It is tricky to write due to a (hopefully) cool thing I'm doing with the pace the story's told at. Two is "Seven Things No One Knew About Shawn Spencer", which is, I'm gonna admit it truthfully, is a long, character study that is meant solely to appease my metabrain and, to a larger degree, to smack some sense into people writing Shawn in fic. STOP FUCKING HIS CHARACTERIZATION.
*cough*
Then is the meme responses, which are coming not as fast as I hope. I have two major projects in school this week as well, so... this will be interesting. I apologize to all my more impatient readers. RL before fannish pursuits, mates.
Muzaks: Anyone have any songs from an artist called The Servant? I have "Orchesta" and "Body", love those some desperately, and want more. Can anyone help?
That's all for now, fen. Stay shiny.
