What I've Been Doing for the Last 36 hours...

[rockinhamburger]

I can't seem to stop thinking about how fabulous Jon Stewart is. I spent a good chunk of yesterday reading and writing about the recent debate Jon engaged in with Gov. Huckabee over gay rights (the transcript of which can be found in my previous post), and glowing with pride over it. And because I had basically nothing to do today, I found myself scouring tds_rps.

I discovered Fast Times at NAMBLA High by smilesawakeyou, which is an AU high school fic that surprisingly, actually works. It features Jon Leibowitz (Stewart) moving from New Jersey to a smaller town, where he begins to attend NAMBLA High! Unfortunately, on his first day there he finds himself face-to-face with some anti-Semitic students, but all is not lost! His first class is English with teacher Mr Jerry Seinfeld. Mhmm! Jon quickly establishes himself as a well-spoken, sarcastic intellectual when he responds to a young Tucker Carlson's digs at Hemingway, grabbing the attention of one Stephen Colbert.

This excllent fic, which is 21 chapters long already and counting, features many other real life characters such as Amy Sedaris, Paul Dinello, and Anderon Cooper (just to name a few) as fellow classmates of Jon, and John Oliver, Steve Carrel, and Lewis Black (among others) in guest appearances as the faculty of Nambla High. There's even a cameo by Bill O'Reilly as the stick-up-his-ass principal of the school.

I don't want to give anything else away as there are many slashy pairings and plotpoints worth reading, so please go read it now if you're into that kind of thing. It's smart, funny, and hot! What's not to love?

After discovering that whopper of a fic, I found a slew of great Daily Show and Jon-centric interviews and a number of wonderful quotes on gay marriage here.

Finally, I found this biography of Jon, which is certainly the lengthiest, most thorough biography of Jon Stewart I've ever read. Read it.

Basically, what happens to me about once a year is happening. I am falling madly, deeply in love with Jon Stewart all over again. I'm completely unable to resist his charming, sarcastic wit, his endearing, self-deprecating humour, and his undeniable ability to call the partisan pundits out on their bullshit.

I love him.

Oh, I took a look at that AU fic, but it's really difficult to get me into AU, so I never got very far. I have been running around tds_rps, though. I hope you're happy, this all started from the fic you linked me years ago. <3

Know what, I am happy, tresa! That was an awesome fic, I remember. And it's funny 'cause I dropped out of fandom and lj until I got into Psych, and more specifically, psych_slash. I'm glad you stayed loyal to these things! tds_rps is single-handedly responsible for my rampant RPS love. So I'm glad that I was a part of your love for it! Makes me feel less dirty ;)

EDIT: Still not used to html codes man...

>D And you will then be pleased to know that I got someone else hooked in your absence.

Why yes, I am pleased!

I would recommend checking out fakenews_fanfic, too--they have much better tags and organization. There's excellent stuff at tds_rps, but I have so much trouble finding things. Apparently not everything is in the memories.

*glomp* Thank you!!! Though, I'm not sure I should really be thanking you for feeing my addiction. I should be leaving in twenty minutes, but I don't see that happening now...
