Public Service Announcement

 One shouldn't start reading fanfic when it's past ten o'clock... because all of a sudden it will be quarter past eleven.

You could at least tell us which fanfic you're reading. Y'know, to warn us away. :)

Well, [livejournal.com profile] bujold_fic is running a ficathon right now, and I started reading a little in the archive... we all know how that one goes.

I also read this one: http://community.livejournal.com/bujold_fic/131868.html

It's called The Short Victorious Vor, and it's a Honor Harrington/Vorkosiverse crossover with mostly Admiral Naismith. It doesn't get super long, but it's good.

A small sample:
But he couldn’t drag her home to his insane, marginal, feudal world, because some brilliant bastard had apparently recognized her talents and beaten him to the punch. His eyes narrowed. Benjamin Mayhew, I think I hate you.

It's a parody but it's SO worth reading, especially if you read both authors.
