I have meant to rec things all along and life gets in the way. But I must stop and rec this. It's stunning.

Last Night on Earth by darkprism.

It's a short story that somehow manages to be both fictional and brutally, terrifyingly real.

If you do read and enjoy it, let her know. Comments mean a lot to authors. :)

First, just a reminder to anyone who is interested, LJ IDOL VOTING IS OPEN!

You don't have to be a member to vote, so wonder over and take a peek. If you would like to read my entry, you can find it here.

Now, enough of the boring stuff, onto some of my favorites!

These posts are some of the ones that really resonated with me. They are by no means an exclusive list of good posts, nor are they the only posts I voted for in the game, but they are posts that for whatever reason, really struck a chord in my life right now.*

* I know that the idea of recs lists has caused some internet dramaz on the LJ Idol group. I do not apologize for listing the ones that touched me. I am not trying to tell anyone how to vote, if I was going to use my powers to do that, trust me it would be with the US Presidential election and not with LJ Idol. *wry*

So, I have an addiction to recs. I compulsively save the posts that I like best and then shove them down other people's throats.

In no particular order, and for reasons which may or may not be obvious, I give you these recs.
