If you have ever looked at Chris Pine and John Cho and thought... No, scratch that. If you've ever looked at Chris Pine and John Cho AT ALL, you NEED to read Another Kind of Pop Song by withthepilot. It is amazing and glorious and awesome. Go read.

Other awesome big bangs that I have read instead of writing:

Filmmaking for Assholes by screamlet - Zach produces, Chris writes the script (w/Karl's help) and John helps put together an inspired cast for....Star Trek XII! It is what I believe is referred to in the biz as "a hilarious romp" with lots of meta, threats of ripping off faces, and an appearance by Misha Collins. Oh, and it's by screamlet. Need I say more?

If you can't stand the heat by littleboycalico and 1lostone - Zach and Chris and the Food Network. Seriously people - NEED I SAY MORE? Oh, and there's lots of frotting. Okay, yep, there you go, I see you going there now.

Parallel Motion by thalialunacy - Chris and Karl make out and are werewolves. I love the way this story is written. I also love that Chris and Karl make out and are werewolves.

I Need You So Much Closer by the_deep_magic - Kind of an angsty ouchy Pinto-y journey. Read this, and then read the one the_deep_magic posted today, The Pirate King and the Cabin Boy because it is hilarious and amazing and...just look at that title. I mean, come ON!

Okay, this is not a fic, but illname_me_joan posted this link the other day about this real life bromance-turned-first-time. I enjoyed it way too much. As I was reading the whole thread, I couldn't decide whether to tear up with stupid sappiness, or head straight to my bunk.

( Click for rambling about Zach )

Okay. That's all the Zach I've got, for now. I think I've procrastinated for long enough (by which I mean, like, a week) - now to write some fic!

Instant rec from the _pinto kink meme: Jailbait!Chris UNF x1000000000

While I'm at it:
New classic Pinto by the_deep_magic: Feels Just Like it Should

And a ewinfic that I've been meaning to rec for a while: The First of 437 -- Or Possibly 438 -- Times (So Far)

So, I'm not really doing anything tonight, so there's a very distinct possibility that I will be spamming your flist with randomness. So just, you know, be prepared.

First - RECS!

I haven't been reading as much as I used to, so I don't know if it's just me, or if the last few fics I've read have really been that awesome. Regardless, I am reccing them here, to spread the love and the funny tummy feelings. Enjoy!

First, two short, hot fics:

Kirk/Spock - Accidental Intermission by brytewolf
Spock + chocolate + Kirk = my bunk.

Kirk/McCoy - Poker-face by thatwelearn
Just, guh.

Three longer fics that are worth your time:

Kirk/McCoy AU - knives in the water by green_postit
A creative, intriguing world of organized crime and the hottest Jim Kirk ever. It's not like there are many portrayals of Jim Kirk that I wouldn't fuck, but I'd fuck this one extra hard. See? It's made me get all crude now. DAMN YOU HOT JIM KIRK! Heed the warning for torture at the end.

PINTO - a passage that sings by dorkorific.
Yes, everyone and their mom has recced this, and I'm going to jump right in and join them. This is the kind of banter-y, intelligent fic that makes me never want to write again. Luckily, I don't listen to my brain. This fic is like the essence of Pinto.

PINTO - Captain Spanky and its many sequels, by medea_fic.
Chris is eager to try new things, dom!Zach is cautious (but only to a point), and I just love their personalities and the evolution of their relationship throughout this.

Graphics

I don't usually rec art/graphics, but recently a whole bunch of things have been turning me on catching my eye.

anodrethlluvine put eyeliner on Chris and Zach and changed my life forever.

And speaking of things that are hot, check out ashleyj28's Kirk/ZachSpock manips for trekreversebang, because YUM.

And nix_this has been busy at work on a bunch of commissions resulting in some serious Star Trek and Chris Pine hotness of the artistical kind.

GO! CLICKY! GO!

OMG BBS I HAD THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!! Thanks so much for all of the birthday wishes and comments and messages!!! You all rock so hard and I feel so loved!!

AND I NEED TO SHARE THE LOVE!

aliassmith wrote me Bedtime Stories, a truly Pinto-licious fic complete with delicious anticipation and hot sexins!!!!! Go read!

beedlebarg wrote me Flaming Hearts, a delicious Harlequin-style Pinto that made my heart pound beneath my bodice and my loins thrum with forbidden passions. Go read!

gryffin_draco posted Domestic Issues - Cleaning, some lovely Pinto porn that makes me want to go make a mess all over Zach's house, leading to hot sexy times. Go read!

Speaking of Zach's house, ashleyj28 gave me Creeper Pine. Hey Chris! Is there room next to you outside our boy Zach's window???? :-D

verizonhorizon made me an adorable Pinto macro, and ladyblahblah started a WIP in my name (fitting. also, i give you full leave to harass her until it's finished.) :-D

halfbreedchild entertained me for hours as I neglected my excel spreadsheets and we fueled the flames of each others' insanity. She also made me some sweetass macros and told me that Zach would go straight for me. I promptly entered a fantasy world, and the only thing that could bring me back was proof that Zach and Chris are in love....

WELL WELL WELL....IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT missestrella PROVIDED JUST THAT IN THE FORM OF
THIS AMAZING VIDEO - PINTO - DON'T STOP BELIEVIN'!!!!
Go watch it immediately, tear up a little, grin like an idiot, and leave missestrella some love for keeping the tinhat factories in business and for reminding us of the joy of bromances and the pleasant buzz of underlying sexual tension.

DID I MISS ANYTHING????

ETA: OMG, i can't believe i almost forgot - Zachary Quinto brought Stoner Zach to life just for me in Bright Side. And a thousand screaming fangirls. And, like, theater people or some shit. Whatever. IT WAS ALL FOR ME.

And there was a party at ontd_pinto!

Okay, NOW did I forget anything????

IN CONCLUSION -
DIRTY THIRTY: THE BEST INTERNET AND RL BIRTHDAY A GIRL COULD HAVE.

*HUMPS F-LIST SO HARD*

I hope everyone is celebrating Cinco de Mayo tonight as I am - by eating cupcakes and drinking too many margaritas. CHEERS! ADIOS!

Taking advantage of a slow Saturday to start To Talk of Many Things i.e. the Pike/McCoy converter WIP ;-) This will come as a surprise to no one, as I am very late getting on this boat, but OMG!! OMG OMG OMG! OMG!

Okay. I'm done. Back to reading now. I had to take a break because things were getting a little tense ("I wasn't nervous... Maybe a little concerned, but it's not the same thing." "We can stop now if you want." "No, you can keep reading a little farther, if you want to." - name that movie!)

Three fic recs for you:

someidiothasice wrote a fic in response to a Pinto prompt that I left at stxi_sinfest!!
Yummmm...

And 1lostone wrote one in response to my pervy anonymous Pinto prompt!! To the hotness!

Speaking of Pinto, OMG - I recently discovered Airplane Mode, AKA the hottest Pinto fic ever. I've seriously read this fic every night for the past three nights. It's hot. Also, funny. And awesome.

I've been working on fic all freaking week, only occasionally interrupted by the need to do actual work. Want to know something about my writing process? I can write, like, 3 pages of banter in 30 minutes, but it takes me 15 minutes to come up with an adequate synonym for "thrust". Argh.

And then tonight I got distracted by the Party Post at pinto_fic, which caused me to go and devote my precious time to making things like THIS. TOTALLY WORTH IT!!

This weekend I will be distracted by the amazing weather. Big plans to leave the apartment! So if everyone could just stop posting fic for a while so I don't have too much to catch up on, that would be great ;-)

HAI BBS!

I'm off to the Poconos for the weekend, so I want to leave you with something awesome. Since I haven't been able to think of anything but Chris Pine + Zachary Quinto = Love for the past few days, I am leaving you with a combo picspam and Pinto/RPF recs post to entertain you for a little while.

Bonus macro love for the ontd_startrek party post! Have fun and rock out for me, gqmfs!!



( Pics and Fics )

There are three main reasons why I bookmark a fic:
1.) It's hilarious
2.) It's ridiculously hot
3.) It makes me feel emoooootions

In this particular post I decided to go with the first theme of hilarity (many with bonus hotness). Here are some fics I've read recently that cracked me up. Go, read, enjoy!

I read a LOT of "holiday themed" fic this year, and here are two of the best/funniest:

Curiously Botanical by mrasaki
Just trust me, it’s hilarious. Read to the end, the last scene is the best.
Kirk/McCoy

Permission to Speak Freely by eldritchhorrors
A fic about Festivus, which is obviously a holiday made for McCoy
Kirk/McCoy

Two funny non-holiday fics that I read very recently:

I’m So in Love I Practically Shit Glitter" by loony4lupin
I just read this today and it’s freaking hilarious and hot
Kirk/McCoy

Everybody into the Pool by lindmere
A hilarious little gem involving a hot tub and nakedness but no sex

And two humorous Kirk/Spock fics for good measure:

Birthday Traditions by corpus_invictus
A hilarious contribution to the ever popular drunk-by-chocolate theme
Kirk/Spock

Deleted Files from the Captains Log by eeyore9990
Funny, with bonus hotness
Kirk/Spock

I'm currently working on another ST fic that I'm having a lot of fun with, but it might be a little while longer until I can finish and post it. So in the meantime, I figured I would post a couple recs here.

These are actually more than recs. I call them my "trekspiration" because they are the fics that really set up how I view the characters/relationships and the way I write them. I consider them a kind of fanon interpretation of personalities/interactions/etc. I think everyone might already know about all of these - if so, you know what I'm talking about. If not, go read!!!

Kirk/McCoy

inell's Two Men and a Motorbike series is very well known and is an amazing Kirk/McCoy epic that - well, I wouldn't necessarily say it changed my life - but it's awesome and a great insight into their friendship and its building into a relationship. Very inspiring.

Bonus rec: Hottest Kirk/McCoy fic EVER

Kirk/Spock

Home is an amazing fic that totally sold me on Kirk/Spock (before that, Two Men and a Motorbike had me almost convinced that Kirk/McCoy would be one and only OTP). I loved this fic beyond words. While I was reading it, I couldn't think about anything else. Again, I'm not sure I would say that it changed my life, but at the time that I was reading it, it almost felt like that.

WARNING about this fic - it is an UNFINISHED WIP. Don't even get me started on how sad I am about this. It's 33 Chapters long, and still a great read, but definitely left me wanting closure and being somewhat..perturbed..at the author. I know, you should write for yourself and screw what other people think. But, in this case, I can't really help but feel disappointed.

The crew of the Enterprise

In Which the Crew of the Enterprise Plays I've Never

I cannot say enough about this fic, besides that it is possibly the hardest I've ever laughed while reading a fic and that it informed a theme that you may notice appearing in my fics, namely that the crew is an incestuous, sex-crazed, alcoholic bunch who dedicate approximately 10% of their time to, you know, space exploration, and 90% to getting drunk and getting in each other's pants. (See Space: No Herpes).

My next fic is definitely along those lines....maybe I should go work on it while I'm inspired...
