Ramblings from the 'goblinn

Happy Feast of Stephen, all.

I haven't had much time to read and catch up today, but I stumbled across this site mythichistorian recced-- and while I didn't know the fandom for the story she recced, I started surfing around the site and found THIS.

I don't know how many of you are familiar with Spider Robinson and Callahan's place, but the above story link represents a story that, while fan fiction, will make you want to go read the real thing-- it's that good. And maybe, if anyone's a little low after the holidays, Callahan's place will be the remedy for you.

I guess in some ways, this little community of friends is a lot like a Callahan's place-- people who are otherwise complete strangers, sharing joys and sorrows and a hell of a lot of fun. Only difference is, you have to mix your own drinks and music, and perhaps, luckily, the level of punning is not usually so lethal. And I am so very thankful to be here.

That's all I wanted to say. Hope everyone has been having a fun extended weekend and/or holiday.
