telophase: (Stephen Fry - finger shake)
As in you can't find them, not as in the show. :) Pimping by request of [livejournal.com profile] sub_divided: [livejournal.com profile] whatwasthatfic, along the lines of [livejournal.com profile] whatwasthatbook, a community to try to track down that fic you remember but can't find.

Also, I have signed up at PaperBackSwap, which is along the same lines as BookMooch, and have already received requests for seven books that I've posted, with one more waiting for someone to log in and see if they still want it. Which is good, because there are nine Eerie, Indiana books posted for swap there and I need the credits to request them. If you're on there, my profile is at telophase.papserbackswap.com/profile, and if you choose to join, please put down "telophase" in your registration, because referrals give me another credit. :D

Also, have picked up John Myers Myers' Silverlock again to read - I figured out that now, unlike the last time I read it back in undergrad, the intarwebs would probably produce websites dedicated to reference-spotting, so I wouldn't have to spend the entire book going "That sounds like I ought to know it ... do I?" If you haven't heard of Silverlock, you're missing a treat. The main character is shipwrecked in the Commonwealth, which turns out to be the land where all classic fiction derives, so everyone and everything he runs into is from Greek myth or medieval ballads or Norse sagas, etc. Wonderfully geeky. Out of print, Reprinted in 2005, but you can probably find it on, say, BookMooch, PaperBack Swap, or Amazon.com. :D And now I can definitely answer the question of "That sounds like I ought to know it ... do I?" with "Nope!" and feel very unliterary. :)
