Aloha flist. I am now the ripe old age of 24 *sigh*. I have decided I am going to make a concerted effort to save this year so I can contemplate getting my own flat/maisonette/house sometime next year, so I'm feeling pretty positive and all grown up at the moment...
On the flip side of that grown up feeling, I’ve recently fallen head first into Teen Wolf...and then there was all the comic-con madness :) Also many many months ago I became obsessed with Avengers fic whilst I was waiting impatiently for the film come out, then fandom exploded and I haven't been able to catch up.
My problem is that I rely on recs for reading material. So here's my question oh wise flist - what (if any) Teen Wolf and/or Avengers comms do you follow? I need sources for when my flist is bare of recs. Also icons and news is good :) I don't think I've changed my userpics in about a year, and I've definitely discovered about 5 new shows and dipped my toes in probably double that in new fandoms in that time....help me I need to revamp my lj, you're my only hope!
Failing comm recs, fic recs are always appreciated :) I'm pretty much pro any pairing at the moment because I want to read ALL THE WORDS (altho Steve/Tony and Stiles/Derek are my faves because I tend to be mainstream like that :D)
(And now that I have posted this joint request for Teen Wolf and Avengers I'm feeling the need for some kind of cross-over fic...)
So canon question - is Morganna younger than Arthur? So basically, did Uther sleep with Morganna's mother after Igraine died, or whilst Igraine was still alive?
On the topic of Igraine is it spelt with an I or a Y (Ygraine)? Or is it one of those things thats open to intepretation?
Thank you for any help :)

Rating: G
Word Count: 353
Pairing: Gen, hint of John Hart/Ianto one sided flirting
Summary: Ianto's having flashes of his alternate self's life.
A/N: Set in 'Rose's universe' where The Doctor left her and TenII at the end of Journey's End, this follows on from A Good Old Normal, Human Life & Data Compression. I'm working on the next part and this snippet was necessary but didn't quite fit in the story. So think of it as a teaser I suppose for It Goes On.

Happy belated day of mass commercialised love to one and all!
1) I'm going to comment more, because I read EVERYTHING on my flist and like a lurking lurker never, ever comment. So when I do my daily browse tomorrow evening when I get home, I intend to comment.
2) I'm going to write instead of just compose stuff in my head. I may not post it all but it needs to be recorded somewhere other than my brain, if only for my own sanity. Although I think I may be sticking with plans rather than full fic atm because seriously that amount of words would require me to stop sleeping I think (we've got Hawaii Five 0, Supernatural, Avengers, Sherlock (BBC), Stargate Atlantis, Narnia, Merlin,
3) Smile more, just because.
4) In no way shape or form refer to these a New Years resolutions, because then they won't happen. (Also I don't really get new years and new years resolution, its just like a chunk of time. We don't count down to midnight on the last day of every month....mnah random aside over)
Thank you, and goodnight :D
Also on the topic of Danny's recent homelessness, I've seen lots of fandom takes on the situation in terms of fic, but was wondering if I'd just missed people commenting on this( Episode Nine SPOILER )
Hello lovely flist. Do you know it's been so long since I posted anything that the "post an Entry" box has changed and this is the first time I'm noticing it....
I have been lurking but I've been in dissertation completion mode for MONTHS. I've finally submitted and now I'm kind of at a loss for what to do with myself! I'm manically applying for jobs because the lack of money is easier to live with when you're studying but just really depressing when you're doing absolutely nothing!
I am still lurking in all my fandoms, followed Doctor Who, am very excited for the return or Melin, Supernatural, Hawaii Five-0 and Glee (seriously thank you television programme schedulers you are saving my sanity by keeping me occupied with your shiny shiny shows). I've just done a massive Atlantis rewatch as well and thinking about due South next.
I've an idea for a H50 video bouncing around in my head, and a couple of fic ideas as well which may see the light of day as I've got a bit of time on my hands in between job applications at the moment. YAY fandom contributions!
I've a question for my flist though. I'm contemplating applying to some uni's to do a research degree. I've no idea how to go about this though, should I apply to more than one uni? Is it a good idea to base my proposal on my Masters thesis or will they frown on that? Has anyone on my flist done a PhD and have some words of wisdom?
Edit: JFC less than ten miles from me, shopping centre I've been to regularly apparently on fire...
This, and recent downtime, is maybe a message that I should continue my very occasional lurk-age until my dissertation is completed?

I read them so late last night I haven't commented yet but I'm going to have to read them again as soon as I can anyways so I'll rectify that soon.
So I can't rec this fic or this pairing highly enough. It's awesome.
And I may have committed some comment fic in their honour.
For my Masters dissertation I am looking at how people watch television. As I know a lot of you are avid viewers (like myself) it seemed logical to ask you all if you'd be willing to participate!
Participants will have to keep a three day diary on how much television they watch a day and how they watch it.
The project is mainly applicable for UK residents, but if you have a look at the screenschots of the table for the television diary and feel it would be applicable to your viewing habits and you are not a UK resident please volunteer and let me know! I can always adjust it slightly for you if need be.
I've created a community on livejournal so all the information for participants is online. If you would be willing to help please wander over to
