Because marvola said so,  8 random facts:

• I have an irrational fear of monkeys.


• My dream job is impersonating Carl Barat in a Libertines cover band, despite the fact that I am female and play guitar about as well as somebody's pet chinchilla.


• I used to be in a Roller Derby league.


• I love cheese. A lot. Even the smelly kind. Especially the smelly kind. I regularly threaten to defect to France, but any country that hasn't outlawed raw milk cheese aged under 60 days would do.Yes, I know the cheese law. I love cheese that much.


• I am not generally superstitious (in fact, I've been known to break mirrors on purpose for artistic use and used to have an open umbrella as an indoor decoration), but I always throw salt over my shoulder if I spill some.


• I have a weakness for terrible, terrible teen movies. Not socially-acceptable Brat Pack stuff (though I love that too). I'm talking about being totally unable to tear myself away from 'She's All That' when it came on TV a few weeks ago.


• I am getting tattoo #3 on Saturday. There will be pictures.


• I wrote my first fanfic at age 10, though I had no idea what fanfic was. It was a Mary Sue in which my self-insert character was the long-lost daughter of Elvis. It was illustrated. I kind of wish I hadn't thrown it out. I also thank my lucky stars on a daily basis that there was no ff.net in 1992.

I tag...eh. Whoever feels like it. I'm usually late to these parties.

Also, fic recs. Specifically crossovers. I posted these at TWU but I figured I might as well bring them here too. All Torchwood-related, all awesome. Possibly nothing you haven't already read, but also for posterity. If you know of any good ones (TW or not), by all means bring them over! [Insert creepy voice and something about 'precious.']

Complete:
Empty Spaces Between Stars by Nightanddaze. (NC-17) CSI crossover with extremely hot Jack/Ianto/Greg Sanders and plot. This is totally recommended reading for anyone, even if you don't watch CSI.
Advantages of Travel by Elishabet. (PG-13) Firefly! Jack on Serenity! Captain-snogging!
A Little Matter of Life and Death by Unfeathered. (NC-17) Jack/Angel. I pretty much consider this canon, actually.

WIPs:
Snapshots by Asrai. (R) Queer As Folk US. I'm in love with this. Your average QAF/TW crossover probably involves Jack and Brian Kinney getting groiny. This does not. This has Justin and Ianto as roommates (it makes sense, don't worry), and a whole lot of mysterious. This is from the person who brought you 'The Night Starts Here' (a.k.a. 'that one where Ianto goes to work at Torchwood Two').
And this just started, but I'm highly excited about it-- The Hogwarts Reunion Is When Everything Changes (And Torchwood Is Ready) by Lilithilien. (NC-17) Because Jack/Draco. I can't wait.
