Your Theme Song is Beautiful Day by U2

"Sky falls, you feel like It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away" You see the beauty in life, especially in ordinary everyday moments. And if you're feeling down, even that seems a little beautiful too.

What's Your Theme Song?

Surprisingly accurate, that one. Even if the beauty is all in my head... LOL.

And this weekend it definitely was (must be the gloomiest weather since February - thick, dark clouds and epic gusts of wind lashing buckets of water around in all directions... *shudder*). I spent most of it reading The Legend of Jua-Simba by Bailey - one of those absolute gems that I somehow missed when it was first written (which is no surprise, Bailey being one of the most prolific authors in ANY fandom she decides to join, and one who only reccently started posting her fics on LJ). Ohhh the delight. Mmmmm... I have no words for the thrills that savage!Viggo seducing proper Victorian gentleman!Orlando gave me.;P I must have some serious kink for this kind of AU... or maybe it's just Bailey - because I seem to develop a serious kink for anything she writes about, somehow.;) That woman messes up with my head big time, let me tell ya.:D She can set her story anywhere, anytime, invent the most outrageous plotline - and it always works. Her fics just stay firmly planted in my memory, no matter how long ago I read them - like the one where Viggo was a porn star... (I don't recall the title anymore, but I know it was hers - and OMG was it hot!...) Or the Elizabethan theatre one for the Just Words zine. And her recent stuff - like the LOTR AU The Vigil - is just as amazing. And she writes great Brokeback Mountain fanfic too. Just... give me anything, as long as it's signed by her name, and I'm happy. I fear my life will be too short to read all she's ever written - but I'm definitely going to give it a try...;D

Links, maybe? *hopeful look*

Heee...;) Somehow I thought I was the last one to discover the goodness that is Bailey. Her stuff seems to be all over the net. Jua-Simba can be found here:

As for her other "earlier works", I don't actually recall where I read them, but I'm sure there are some on www.aniron.info (or any other major slash archive).

In addition, she is now posting regularly on LJ, as baileymoyes. And she certainly doesn't mind being friended by random readers.;) (though she may not always respond to feedback, being too busy writing...:P)

She is also an active member of the Adult_Viggo Yahoo!Group - which, btw, I highly recommend joining, especially to a serious Viggoholic like you.:D It's an extremely friendly bunch of ladies who like to laugh a lot and post LOADS of great Viggo-themed stuff (like photos, articles, fiction etc.) And I am absolutely certain those ladies would ADORE your fics as well.;) If you ever feel like dropping by, here's the link:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Adult_Viggo/

(I guess I should warn you, though - the group is very active; you might get up to 100 messages a day!)

OK. I hope this is not an information overload.:P

Not information overload at all! Thank you! I'm off to check on Adult Viggo. ;D
