I actually have some BL rec threads from F!S bookmarked, which are here (http://fandomsecrets.livejournal.com/801593.html?thread=505234745#t505234745) and here (http://fandomsecrets.livejournal.com/748810.html?thread=474321418#t474321418)! Personally, I'm a big fan of anything by Sumomo Yumeka, Constellations in my Palm by Chisako Sakuragi, and Earthian by Yun Kouga.

Thank you so much!! I've suddenly dived back into the medium and I'm not sure where to pick up.

Try Fujiyama Hyouta (Freefall Romance or Spell are good). Fake by Sanami Matoh is a really good series (BL spin on classic cop tropes).

I posted a rec list on another site a few days ago, so I'll repost it here. Might not fit your tastes, so for that I am sorry. ._.;;

Yume Musubi Koi Musubi (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yume_musubi_koi_musubi/): One of my favorites, a very non-stereotypical yaoi with great characters. A high schooler has a sex dream about his older friend, a Shinto priest, and decides he wants to bang him. His friend is reluctant. Things progress from there.
Sorenari ni Shinken Nandesu (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/sorenari_ni_shinken_nandesu/): A single father taking care of his daughter gradually becomes closer to a customer at the restaurant where he works.
Love Stage (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/love_stage/): (not fully scanlated) Our main character, an otaku born into a showbiz family, just wants to draw manga, but somehow he keeps getting roped into appearing in commercials as a girl. So what happens when his male costar takes an interest in him?
Konbini-kun (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/konbini_kun/): Super cute one. A hikikomori tries breaking out of his shell by getting a job at a convenience store, but is intimidated by one of his coworkers... until he realizes there's another side to the guy.
Kimi Note (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kimi_note/): A boy with self-esteem issues is attracted to his classmate's scent. Also contains a lot of side stories.
Summer Switch (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/summer_switch/): A young man returns home for the summer from college in the big city. Things get awkward around his best friend, whom he kissed when they were younger. A short one, but I like the character dynamics (the main character's kind of a big, soft-spoken guy, and his friend's a loudmouth delinquent).
Mimitabu no Riyuu (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mimitabu_no_riyuu/): I haven't finished this one, but I liked what I've read so far. The main character's coworker gets dumped by women a lot, and one night when they've been out drinking, the main character jokingly offers to console him with his body. To his surprise, his coworker takes him up on it. Now they're in some sort of weird comfort sex arrangement and the main character is getting progressively more fed up by it. Also he has a cute hat and his ears turn red when he gets embarrassed.

Also I found most of these through previous f!s rec threads wellp. @_@

What's with all the illegible text today? I like to be able to *read* the secrets!

That's just what I came here to say. I swear I can't read half of these.

I feel like I'm a failure when it comes to driving. I had such an embarrassing fail today I don't know why I passed my exam.

Maybe it was a stealth fail.

Your examiner might be the leader of a hit squad, and they saw your potential to make things look like an accident.

I only barely passed my exam. My driving instructor gave up on my parallel parking and did it for me. I still am completely incapable of parallel parking.

It's ok. I did a turn on the wrong lane today which ended up to be horribly embarrassing with everyone honking at me.

And I have my license soo yeah

At least you didn't almost run over a pedestrian (1st exam) or hit a car when changing lanes (2nd exam). I'm never going to drive ever again.

Thanks to a thread here a few days ago, I'm now obsessed with Criminal Minds and I'd like to get fic recs. I'm shipping mostly Morgan/Reid, but I like Morgan/Garcia as well and if there is any awesome Garcia/Morgan/Reid fic out there I'd be so happy! Gen/friendship fic are also something I'd read. Also, what are the best LJ communities and tumblrs for Criminal Minds fandom?

As one of the anons you were conversing with in that thread I can't say how happy I am to see this here. :D

Some fandom links (I only do lj, not tumblr):
The fandom newsletter (great for finding new fics, comms and info): http://bau-inbox.livejournal.com/
The fandom ficfinders community (great for finding recs in a large variety of categories): http://cmficfinders.livejournal.com/
The main fandom fic posting place: http://bau-fic.livejournal.com/
Bowie28's delicious account (a lot of organized links to various fics in the CM fandom, though with a Hotch/Reid slant): http://www.delicious.com/bowie28/
The fandom fanfic awards for the past 3 years: http://cmfanficawards.livejournal.com/
The fandom awards for this year (in progress, but links will be up at the end of the month): http://cmfavoritefics.livejournal.com/

Criminal Minds is fairly active on AO3 (I can't attest to the state of the fandom on other archives): http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Criminal%20Minds/works

And, my own fandom bookmarks on pinboard (I have quite a lot of Morgan/Reid recs in there that I really like): https://pinboard.in/u:welfycat/t:Fandom%253ACriminalMinds/

I hope this helps you get started ♥

Garcia/Morgan ♥

It really saddens me that so many bigots have given awful reviews about ME3 just because they included the gay/lesbian choices.

I'm not even angry at this point, just sad.

That said, if I wanted to start playing ME3, is it mandatory to play ME1 and ME2 first? I think I could try playing ME2 (and only if I must), but aren't really interested in ME1.

I've been death-obsessed since I was a child, but now (I'm in my early twenties) I've started to feel like suicide is the most rational and logical option for me. Most of the time I don't even feel that depressed, I just feel like it would be the right thing to do and I've been a coward for far too long. Now I think I've found the method and I feel somewhat relieved. I feel so guilty for still being alive.

How is it cowardly, not dying? To me, cowardly has always meant being too afraid for yourself to help someone else. And the very life of someone isn't something that harms anyone else. I think living is more of a potential help than a harm--it's not cowardly.

Now, I know I'm not exactly the best advice anon. But I'm going to say that suicide isn't something you're rationally and logically required to do.

I feel so guilty for still being alive.

What if it's just that - obsession. And if it's that, you may not truly want it. I'm not saying it's not what you want, but it could be something like psychological illness.
I'm about the same age as you and I've had same kind of thoughts since I was 10. I wanted to kill myself the most when I was 11 and 12; it comes and goes in waves. I'm not even depressed (or, as you said, feel like I'm depressed) but it feels so logical.

But then I remember there's still stuff I wanna do and find out about before I kill myself. I think I will eventually commit suicide, and I won't be depressed about it, but it's gonna be at least a good ten years before I do it. Until it happens, I might as well relax and take it easy.

So that's why I'm a bit confused about your situation. I don't feel guilty for being alive, yet you say you are. Why?

I'm the same way. I think the first time I thought about killing myself was in third grade? I don't know. But it was always on my mind and always an option. Or something I thought I should be doing. Or just the logical end to my story. When I was around 22 I realized I was a live a lot longer than I ever planned to be, and that I better sit down and figure out what I'm doing and make a decision. I couldn't just float through life planning to kill myself and acting as though I wouldn't be around next year. So I sat down and really thought about dying. I got out my pill collection (I had decided on the method years earlier and had a collection all ready) and thought long and hard about what I was choosing to do.

End of story, obviously, I didn't kill myself. I stopped and now I consciously make a decision to live. I still think about death a lot, think about suicide and sometimes really wish I had decided the other way. But I didn't, and I'm sticking to my choice and trying to make my life worth something. And whenever I think about killing myself or death I just stop the thought and remind myself "that's not an option any longer" and try and go on. Most of the time I honestly think it's the right decision, but it's not easy.
