| [Apparently nothing says "Happy Christmas" like fic recs. Yes.]
Way back in March 2009, I first asked my flist, "Should I try this show called Battlestar Galactica?" A couple people told me no, because the show was so depressing I would want to kill myself (hee) but most said, "OMG LUNA YESSSSSSSSSSSS". I was intrigued and added the first season to my Netflix queue. I watched the miniseries and thought, "Okay, this is a cool show, but I could take it or leave it". I slowly started making my way through the series via Netflix. I liked the show, and appreciated the hotness of the actors (especially Katee Sackhoff and Jamie Bamber, and wouldn't it be awesome if those two got together on the show?) but I wasn't totally sold. It took me months and months to get through the first two seasons. Sometime around the end of Season 2.5 something changed - it was probably the episode "Scar", in which Starbuck and Apollo almost hooked up. I started really caring about these characters and this silly little space show.
Then I got into Season 3, and there was all the stuff on New Caprica with the Resistance and all that, and suddenly I was all like "I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW GOOD LORD". I think I made it through all 6 discs of Season 3 in 2 weeks.
When I saw the episode "Unfinished Business", that was it for me - I went from thinking the Kara/Lee pairing would be hot together to going "THESE TWO MUST GET MARRIED AND HAVE BABIES OMG YES". At some point (probably about when I got spoiled for the ending of the show, dammit) I realized it would never happen in canon, because it's just not that kind of show - the writers like breaking our hearts far too much. Not just that, it's not realistic for the type of characters we're dealing with. But, hey, I don't exactly think Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump are going to get married and have dark eyed red haired babies, but that doesn't stop me from reading a million FOB mpreg fics. I like my denial, okay?
Aaaaaaaaaaanyways, yes. So, knowing that my two pet characters would probably never be happy together on the show, I decided to start looking for fanfic. And I discovered something: BSG ficcers like breaking my heart almost as much as the BSG show writers. Frak! In all my various fandoms - Buffy, LoTR, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Bandslash, etc - I've NEVER seen so much angsty fic. But it's okay, because they usually also give me porn along with the angst. Yay porn!
So, here's some of the Kara/Lee fics I have recently discovered. Please note:
1) A lot of these fics were written like 5 years ago, so you've probably already read them. But they're new to me, so, like, sorry about that.
2) I always refer to this pairing as Kara/Lee instead of Lee/Kara. That's because Starbuck always goes first and is always on top. Hee.
3) For whatever reason, the Pilots! fandom seems to be quite vanilla (aka kink free), all things considered - especially when I contrast it to my most recent fandom, bandom, which is rife with genderswap, foursomes, wingfic, facials, etc etc. I've talked to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) taragel and she seems to think the vanilla is because there's so much angst to work through with Kara & Lee, there's no room for kink. Hmmmm.
~*~ Oh, and a final thing: If you're the author of one of these fics and would prefer not to be on my recs list, just drop me a comment or an email at lunalore[at]gmail.com & I'll happily take you off. Mwah! ~*~
( So many Kara/Lee fic recs! )

- Winter: Der Winter kam über Nacht, auf weißen Socken,
will uns mit seiner Pracht nach draußen locken.( hier gehts weiter ) The snow how cleared at noon was back with a vengeance at 3.30 p.m.; I better do it again in the evening, the less work in the morning.
- Kalorienarme Weihnacht ~ ( Welche Leckereien sind die Dickmacher ) Wer die Plätzchen ein wenig gesünder machen möchte, kann ein paar Dinge beachten. Vollkornhaferflocken, Trockenobst und weniger Fett verwenden oder Fett komplett ersetzen, z.B. durch Apfelmus, Joghurt oder Quark. In dem Fall nimmt man als Maß ein Drittel der angegebenen Buttermenge und verwendet als Ersatz diese Lebensmittel statt Butter.
- Doctor Who: Dreamland Animated Dr. Who. The BBC Link doesn't work in Germany, but there is a link for YouTube, that functions.: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqw6JlJqfyk
But now a Happy Birthday for today to
 A good day to you all, if you see this too early, in time or not at all and wherever you are) :)

| We had snow yesterday, especially after 2 p.m went we finished work for the weekend. But we had our anual X-Mas party yesterday. I was glad that it was here in my town so I could walk. Because the first time I've heard the winter services here was around 5.30 p.m. When I went shopping (only in our town) around 3 p.m. the car was slipping twice. :| Thank god for A.B.S., it works like a charm. (My father had the same problem when driving, my parents were at the funeral this afternoon.) That's what I don't like in winter, the driving. One bit of ice and you can get into an accident even if you're driving normal.
The one in our office that is pregnant didn't make it to the party because she lives too far away, the secretary was there (pregnant too but she lives nearby). She's already at home (still has till Feb. 15th) because she can't sit now. She said she was laying down all day so she could be there. All in all? Party was good. It was just cold when I went home. The coolest in the night was around -16° C. It was around -14°C this morning and won't get a lot warmer. *shudder* Just checked, it's after lunchtime and still -10° C outside. It's not a lot of snow but they told about 8 cm more tomorrow. At last we have only to work till Tuesday *thinks of the driving*. Besides.... guess what? They don't guarantee a White Christmas here because it will get warmer again. We'll see, huh? I have to post again for my next birthday wishes anyway (and prepare a X-Mas post). And maybe I'll do what I have to do tomorrow a bit earlier when taking the car. Or I just walk ;) *edit* Postponed. :) Even better.
Wierd - I just put the (box of?) soda water (in glass bottles) and closed some shutters when I heard a "detonation" (bang). One of the bottles exploded. :| First time it happened (without me letting a full bottle fall down). The boxes are in a Getränkekistenständer. (Can't translate this.) At the moment it's -15° C. Maybe one bottle had a fault and didn't take the difference in temperature well, it was outside in the car for a while.
*edit 21.12.: the winter services on the side roads at lunch and evenning? Almost non existent. Snow slush everywhere. Almost didn't make it up the last hill after lunch. And tomorrow? Freezing rain. /end edit*

| ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/newsinfo.gif) news said: If you have a Paid or Permanent account, you can now send 10 of your non-Paid friends (or manually: non-LJ friends) a $10 coupon. Your friend will be able to purchase a Paid Account for $9.95 (instead of $19.95) for one year by enrolling in our automatic payment plan or make a manual payment of $15 (instead of $25). All Paid and Permanent accounts can send out the coupons by clicking here. You can send the invitations until January 15th. So if someone wants one, just tell me (or send me a LJ message). Please note that these coupons ...cannot be used to renew existing paid accounts.
The other new thing (maybe therefore the coupons) is:
http://www.livejournal.com/statistics/
More about it here. (=If you have a Paid or Permanent account, you can now see detailed reports on how many people are visiting your journal, friends pages, and entries). You can also view data on comments and RSS requests.) Have to check it out to see how it works; seems it has a feature like http://joule.marnanel.org/ has.
Will be late tomorrow (or not here), we have the X-Mas office party then.  | | comments: Leave a comment |
