A quick update of my multi-fandom recs page (14 HP stories, 1 Star Trek-Reboot, 1 True Blood, 1 White Collar) can be found here at 'Recs Recs Recs: a work-in-progress'

I've made thirty or so random URL changes, as I always do (this time concentrating on alternate links for stories that had been hosted on geocities), but if you see a broken link and know where that fic has been re-housed, please let me know!

(Note: The next recs updates will be the massive holiday fest ones, which I won't be posting until after the author reveals.)

For my English Composition class, I'm supposed to write an essay about morality/spirituality/religion in a pop-culture visual artwork (such as film). I've chosen to write on The Search For John Gissing, for probably obvious reasons. *laughs* Anyhoo, I was wondering if y'alls could direct me to some good articles, youtube interviews, etc. on the movie. Any that have quotes by the actors about their characters and the film would be particularly helpful. Thanks a lot! :)
