I was once known as wingsofcharity, just in case you were wondering.

this journal is friends only.
If you're friending me, tell me so I can friend you back! New friends are amazing.


IF YOU'RE JUST LOOKING FOR MY FIC OR FANMIXES, THE MASTER LIST IS HERE!

[Note]: At the risk of sounding a little presumptuous, you have my blanket permission to use any of my works for your own, up to and including: remixes, companion pieces, podfic, and fanart. Just drop me a link when you're done, so I can gush all over you :D

WOAH THERE. A wild antistar_e has appeared! LJ USER antistar_e USES LIVEJOURNAL. IT'S VERY 2009.

Anyway. I could go on about my 2014 and what I hope for my 2015, but really, the thing that's constant is our dependency on music to get through the times, good and bad, right?

So, like I have done for two years previous, I've rounded up my top 25 most played songs of the year and bundled them up in an easy-to-download package for you so that you, too, can have new music and know that it means something to someone out there. Music with baggage? oh god maybe you don't want music with baggage.

YOU KNOW I'M SERIOUS ABOUT THIS, RIGHT?

YOU CAN TELL BECAUSE I'VE EVEN OPENED PHOTOSHOP FOR IT.

SEE?


( WHAT'S GONNA BE BETTER THAN THE DASHCON BALLPIT?? 2015! YEAH. Y E A H.Collapse )

If you have come within a ten-foot radius of me in the last six months, I have probably yelled at you about the Book Thief.

If you have not come within a ten-foot radius of me in the last six months, that distant and unsettling sound that keeps you from sleeping at night because you're not sure where it's coming from is probably me yelling about the Book Thief.

Just so you know.

I would be more embarrassed, but, you know.





Tracklisting, cover art, 8tracks link, download link, AND SPOILERS underneath the cut.


( so far, we've been juggling the book thief in one hand and the struggler in the other. soon we'll clap them together, but. give us a few pages.Collapse )

It's bitterly cold outside, our Christmas tree is a hodge-podge of whatever light sets we could find that weren't burnt out, and the super intelligent people in casa de Elizabeth totally forgot to purchase champagne to toast in the New Years with, which is fine because all that really matters is the segment they play about the Funniest Commercials of 2013, anyway.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!! :D

So last year I did a thing for you guys. This year I decided I should also do a thing. Thus, a thing for you!

Because nothing's quite as constant year to year as your dependency on music to get through it, right?

It's interactive, even! You can click on a button, and it will put some music on your device!






See what I did there? You know this is a serious post because I opened Photoshop for it.


( wow very 2014. much good new years.Collapse )

Oh man, I need to learn how to come home from work and do something besides fall into bed and go right to sleep. Manual labor jobs, you guys D: On Small-Business Saturday, I took apart one 15-foot artificial Christmas tree, one 12-footer, two seven-footers, assembled a 12-footer, and stopped another 12-footer from falling on a little girl. I am scratched up and sore everywhere. I want the holiday retail season to be over D: I have to go back tomorrow D: You guys D: guys D: guys no D:

BUT. On the other hand:



OF THAT, 48k of it exists now in posted fic! So I'm going to call this month a victory. At the very least, I'm in a healthier place than I was at this point last year.

➲ NANOWRIMO: NOVEMBER 12 & 16
For laria_gwyn and usernameism and oneoffour111, Teen Wolf w/Harry Potter and PJO, Allison gen, Allison/Scott and one implied Scott/Allison/Isaac, AU, 12,000 words

So I took the prompts for the 12th, the 16th, and a prompt that I got last year and never completed because meep, meep, all aboard the HMS Failboat, and I'm combining them into one fic. Because reasons. The plot is not cohesive. There is no plot. This is not the plot you are looking for. This is Allison Argent kicking ass and taking names in a couple different universes. You never need an excuse for that.

[You can read that here @ veritasrecords, because once again it got too long to post here on this journal.]

As for the NaNos for the 18th through the 30th, I'm still working on them! I have some other stuff that I've been neglecting that really needs to be addressed, but I like everything I've been outlining, so I'll probably keep churning them out into December! \o/

But right now I need to sleep, and then I need to send out a mass text when I get up because I need to see The Book Thief approximately seven more times.

This is a placeholder post, because I'm going to have to crosspost this over to veritasrecords, where it will actually fit and I won't have to divide it up into two unsightly entries. Well, I probably will, but at least it ... will look better over there? idk bro, I am not at my best right now.

➲ NANOWRIMO: NOVEMBER 14
For rosepetalfall, The Social Network/Pacific Rim, Mark, Dustin, Marilyn, appearances by everybody, gen, AU, 12200 words

JAEGER PILOTS AU FOR rosepetalfall, who, if you don't already know, is the genius behind this genderswapped Hermann Gottlieb fic. I don't know what she needs me for, she pretty much already wrote the thing when she claimed her day, because she is awesome like that :D:D:D I HOPE YOUR MIDTERMS WENT/ARE GOING WELL, MY DEAR.

This isn't quite what she prompted, but I did my best.

[Mark Zuckerberg is not in California when the Trespasser makes landfall.]

WELP, I'm a couple days off schedule. WE'RE JUST GONNA. THING. AND NOT THINK ABOUT IT.

So, like I imagine it happened with most people, Welcome to Night Vale showed up on my Tumblr out of nowhere one day like a particularly bad rash, like one second everything was fine and the next it was like, "the fuck is this? where is all this coming from? excuse me, what's covered in jellyfish?"

So that's a thing I'm listening to on the commute to and from work.



➲ NANOWRIMO: NOVEMBER 10
For rumpledlinen, Welcome to Night Vale, Cecil/Carlos, 7100 words

rumpledlinen asked me for Cecil/Carlos, anything from Carlos's POV! Keep in mind that I'm not entirely caught up yet -- I'm only on episode 24, which is the one before the anniversary episode, so this is canon compliant only to a certain point and then squiggles off into the void.

Unproofread, as usual. Do the light format thing, trust me.

( the week carlos montenegro falls in love, the mortality rate in night vale spikes 13%.Collapse )


Note: The NaNo for the 12th has been cut up, cannibalized, and reabsorbed into NaNos that'll come at a later date. You'll see it again!

Today was a "cry in your car in the parking lot behind the Microsoft offices" kind of day. I did not win any awards for adulthood today.

On the bright side, has anyone listened to M.I.A.'s new album yet? Correction, has anyone STOPPED listening to it? Because I sure haven't. Also I heard Linkin Park did a thing? Twelve-year-old me is pretty anguished about that.

This entry is also now one two a couple days out of date. We're just gonna go to the fic now, k?

➲ NANOWRIMO: NOVEMBER 6
For callunavulgari, Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Harry Potter, Percy/Nico/Annabeth, appearances by ensemble, companion to this piece, 8500 words

One year ago today, I wrote a PJO/Harry Potter AU for notworthy and callunavulgari, and so for the anniversary of that fic, callunavulgari asked for a sequel, this time with more Percy/Nico/Annabeth content, which is tots fair because the first one didn't have much in it at all :D It had, like, a dream sequence. I am good at this thing, you guys, clearly.

Reading that is highly recommended before you read this.

Unproofread, un-Britpicked. Remember, the light format will probably be easiest on your eyes!

So posting for polybigbang starts this week! I dropped out, because the due date for the rough drafts came and went and I had approximately 0 words written, having just come down from the stress plateau that was my heroinebigbang and the Incest Big Bang. So instead of just scrapping my idea, I decided to trim it and make it one of my NaNos.

By 9pm on the posting day, I still had approximately 0 words. IDK BRO IT'S POLY FIC. IT'S PREGNANCY FIC. IN WHAT ALTERNATE UNIVERSE DO I NOT WANT TO WRITE THESE THINGS.

I just want this fic to exist in the world, you guys, why won't it appear fully-fledged so that I can enjoy it? ;____;


➲ NANOWRIMO: NOVEMBER 4
For polybigbang, RPF, Andrew Garfield/Jesse Eisenberg/Emma Stone, 2000 words

Inspired by this 5-sentence fic that salvadore_hart wrote for me ages ago, because Emma Stone passing her perfect genetics down!!! Emma Stone having a baby that might by Andrew Garfield's!!! Emma Stone having a baby that might be Jesse Eisenberg's!!! IMAGINE HOW CUTE THOSE GENES WOULD BE.

This is not the full fic. This is, like, the tiny portion of the outline I got done in a couple hours. But I am going to post what I have here, because it's either that or ~feel like a failure~ for not getting anything done today.

PLEASE read this in the light format, trust me, it's easier on your eyes :D

( miss stone? says the ultrasound technician. can you sit up for a moment? you might want to see this.Collapse )

AANNND WE'RE OFF.


➲ NANOWRIMO: NOVEMBER 2
For ikel89, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, one-sided Nico/Percy, background Percy/Annabeth, Hazel/Frank, Persephone, Jason, 6600 words

To kick off NaNoWriMo this year, ikel89 asked me for Nico crushing horribly on Percy, which is great, because I don't really write any other kind of Nico. Like, seriously, even when I ship him with other people, his emotional and developmental dependency on Percy Jackson is kind of a major staple of his character :D:D

… I guess that was your House of Hades spoiler warning, by the way.

As always, you should definitely read this in the light format. It's a lot easier on the eyes than my regular layout. Sorry about that.
