Return of the King

So, I don't want anyone to faint or gasp in shock, but.... ( I liked it! Liked it a lot. )

Holy Multi-Fandom Weekend, Batman!

So we opened Christmas presents tonight and I finally freed the Buffy season 5 dvd's from their cheery paper bondage. I've known they were there for a week, and thank goodness I've been busy and thus not dwelling on their taunting closeness. And then cos I just can't wait for surprises, I had Snorri open his birthday present two weeks early. What can I say? I'm just that kind of gal. So he lurves his pan and knife.

So for this weekend I have Buffy DVD's, Pirates commentary and drabble to write for circe_tigana's challenge, final edit of Yuletide story, Lord of the Rings geekiness, and several plot bunnies I want to think about. Woo hoo!

So (again - wow I use "So" a lot), about that LotR fandom. I know there are good fanfic archives out there that won't make me gasp in horror at the sacrilege of it all. Point me? Any particularly good stories (gen preferably as I dip my toes into new waters - although if there's a non-graphic Frodo/Sam, I wouldn't be averse to trying it)?

And I wanna make some new icons too.

Squee! I feel some serious geek girl times a coming!
