Beaming!

[ithildin]

Back when I was active in Forever Knight fandom, my fic was fairly popular, and it would get recced every now and again. But in Highlander fandom, my fic isn't all that popular, and I've never ever been recced. I just don't expect to see my stories on any rec list in the fandom. It's like one of those universal truths [g] So imagine my utter shock while perusing my f'list, to see one of my stories recced on hl_recs! I literally did a double take, or in this case a scroll back. And it's one of my favourite stories too! I'm sitting at my desk beaming -- I'd forgotten what a nice feeling it is. It's absolutely made my week! [does a little chair dance]

ooh that's cool! it's always a good feeling when someone recs your fics. :D

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

It really is! It had been so long, I'd forgotten just how cool it is :)

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

'course, i don't really remember any of my stuff getting recced - it was posted in the Supernatural newsletter, but since my LJ was too spoilery for one of the mods, they dropped me, so i dropped them in turn.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Well it took me ten years to get this one, so there's always hope! :)

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

heheh yeah.... i've been writing fanfic for about 10 years, too. :D

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Then anytime now!

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

hehehe yeah.... :D

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

May I just thud at your icon? *thuds* That's lovely.

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

oh very thud-worthy. i do that every time i see that icon. *guh*

and thanks, but i think the credit is Jensen's in this case. ;)

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

Well, true. After seeing some lovely shots of him recently, he moved into my head as hero inspiration for an original story. *thuds again*

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

oooh very cool!!

and i agree - very inspirational. :D

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

Yes, he'll be going to India. And he'll become involved with tiger shifters. (Yep, more than one. *g*)

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

oooh that sounds pretty cool...

*pets tigers*

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

I am becoming a Bollywood fanatic, so the actors and actresses are very appealing to me as heroes and heroines. He'll get a tigress and a tiger. Ah, such fun...

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

well that's cool....

i confess i don't know much about Bollywood, beyond a simple definition....

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

No worries, it's an acquired taste...one I've found to be very delicious and wonderful. *G*

*points to icon* His tigress. *s*

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

heheh cool.... i'm sure some of my tastes are acquired as well...

ooh pretty. :D

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

I have to get some things noted down, because I've had two recent character info drops in my brain and I don't want to lose them. You know how that goes, I'm sure. =D

*points to icon* The tiger... which reminds me. Since you say you like boys with toys, you might like the movie 'Jodhaa Akbar' because this actor is a warrior and there are some lovely bits with swords.

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

oooh yummy icon!

swords! *eep*

i'll have to look into it - between my reading pile and movie pile, and classes and moving eventurally - busy busy. *eep*

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

Hrithik Roshan is very yummy. =D

In the next month or so, I intend to post caps from 'Jodhaa Akbar' on my LJ, especially the sword ones. I'm like you and have a thing for boys with toys. ;D

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

*googles images of Hrithik Roshan*

oh yes. yum.

heheh cool! :D

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

Lots of yum in Bollywood world. *sigh* It's more than an acquired taste, kinda like an obsession. =D

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

heheh gotcha. i'm good at obsessions too. :D

[meredevachon]

Getting recced is always such a pleasant surprise. Congrats, sweetie!

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

Yay! That's so cool. How nice for you and what a wonderful feeling!

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

I'm still beaming!

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

I bet! I'm so happy for you because I know it feels wonderful to receive positive feedback on the writing. =D

PS - Thudding over your icon too. (But then you know I adore that one. *wink*)

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

I seemed to recall that [g]

[layla-aaron.livejournal.com]

Yes, Mr. Watanabe is a favorite of mine. Very handsome.
