Miracle fic recs!

Thu, 17 Aug 2006 21:18:05 GMT

For the last couple of months or so, I've become addicted to Miracle fics. The movie is awesome, and even though I only saw it for the first time this year, I have to confess that it became one of my favourite movies.

Besides, no one can deny that there is not one single guy in that movie that isn't hot! That just adds to it's charm. And though not all the acting is that good, it's still a pretty good movie.

So, I've read so many Miracle fics, that I thought I would post a list to most of them over here. As you can imagine, these are NOT all the fics out there, and it's quite probable that I've missed some very good ones, and added some that some of you wouldn't like, but it is what it is. Enjoy it.

Layout redesign... long time no see

Mon, 12 Jun 2006 04:48:45 GMT

Sorry for all the time it took me to update this thing. I said I was going to update it over the summer, but I guess I was having too much fun ;P

Anyways, latter I'll tell you about my summer, right now I want to talk about my layout redesign. As you can see, it's just a redesign, not a completely new design. I'm still using the same header image, just making some changes to the other aspects of the site. I hope it turns out ok. Just so you know, all this redesign is taking a little time, so don't freak out if things are a little weird around here. I'll get everything straightened out ~~eventually~~ soon enough.

So, don't despair!

Table: Threesomes

Fri, 30 Dec 2005 23:29:52 GMT

This table has stories that deal with threesomes. As I've said before, this table is not by any means a comprehensive list of fics on the subject, it just lists fics that I've read and where I can find them again.

I'll try to code my other tables soon.

Fri, 30 Dec 2005 21:40:31 GMT

Here is the first of the tables that I'll be posting. As you can see, it doesn't have that many stories in it. This is because I don't read a lot of Harry Potter crossovers. As I told you in my last post, this tables are for my reference only, and if you happen to find them useful, and want to contribute something for them, go ahead.

Hope you like it!

An apology and a heads up...

Fri, 30 Dec 2005 21:04:44 GMT

I just wanted to apologize for not updating in such a long time. This last semester at university has been hell, and I HAD to pass, or I had to leave, so I had to work 24/7 the whole semester.

But!

Now I'm on summer vacation, and I'll have a little more time on my hands, so hopefully I'll be able to update a lot more often. I'm also planning on posting a few tables that I did for my own reference on fics that I've liked and where to find them, as in, if they are posted in more than one place, etc. They will not be lists of really great fics or anything, and certainly nothing like painless_j's lists. My tables are just a way to remind myself of which fics I've read, what they're about, and where I can find them. Just for my own reference, and if you happen to find them useful, all the better!

Exams!... grrr :(

Tue, 04 Oct 2005 20:54:50 GMT

Well, yesterday I had my physics exam, and today the one for Fundamentals of Engineering. I thnk I did pretty well, on the first one, and on the second one, relatively well. I'll just have to wait and see what I get, I guess.

I got my maths exam back yesterday, you should have seen my teacher's face when he was lecturing us on how badly we had done on it. The class' average was 20. Can you believe that? I got 20, most got around 15, and a friend of mine got 73. He's a genius, so he doesn't count. We just couldn't believe how low the scores were. I'll have to study harder, that's for sure. Let's hope all goes well in the rest of my classes...
