etherati's Watchmen fics make me so very happy (and also afraid of posting my one sad little h/c fic when it's back from beta, because OMG, hers are gorgeous). The characterization, the prose, the mood... the zombies ^_^ Seriously, her zombie AU is probably my favorite Watchmen fic of all time, even more than spy's AU or theonlytwin's threesome fics.

Things that do not make me happy? LotR authors who like to throw around phrases like "the golden-haired elf" (Which one? That's, like, every elf in the movies and half the elves in the books) and "the young [noun]" instead of using the character's bloody name. Especially "the young [noun]" in close third. Teenagers? Do not think of themselves as young. 400-year-old elves? Definately don't think of themselves that way, even if 400 *is* young in eleven terms.

The Fluffle is filled with bliss when the Stevelet licks his face, but seems to be confused and distressed when I lick him. This clearly falls under the same "things I thought the cat would like, but which inexplicably distress him" category that putting butter on his nose did.

I greatly enjoyed this paragraph, and I'm not entirely sure why.
