I'm not alone, 'cause the tv's on, yeah

 

THIS JOURNAL IS [SORT-OF] FRIENDS ONLY
Open entries will include art, fic, book reviews and non-personal stuff I forget to flock.
Open entries limited to old fic.
If you want to friend me, ask here.
If I don't friend you back, don't be offended, I'm just choosy about who knows about the personal stuff.
 

This is dedicated to kkay313for being the first (and only) person to reply to my post LOL. Please please PLEASE review, 'cause this is my first fic in nearly a year (despite actually having written the majority of this before that!) I might post this on LF/FF seeing how it does here, so I'd love for you to take a look at this:

Read and Review, my lovelies.

Selected Poetry by Christina Rossetti

I liked most of her poetry, although I'm not a very religious person and she very clearly was, so it can get a little dreary reading through all of these - not that all of these are religious, but most are still dreary. I never knew that the Christmas song "In The Bleak Midwinter" was originally a poem by her though, that surprised me! I studied her poem "Cousin Kate" for GCSE but found out it's not that much like the rest of her poems. Most clearly have a moral in them, but they can still be enjoyable, like "Goblin Market", her major work. I'd also read her poem "Remember" before and didn't know it was written by her - obviously I need to pay more attention to who writes what! Christina Rossetti often writes from a different persona, although I hesitate to call it dramatic monologue, and my favourite of these is "A Royal Princess". Not bad for a Victorian poet, especially one of the few female ones.

The Traveller by John Twelve Hawks

I was given this for Christmas and although it was an ok read, it seemed to build up to all this action which didn't really occur. The Da Vinci Code was more exciting. I don't think it was at all deserving of the comment on the blurb which compared him to Nineteen Eighty-Four and Phillip Pullman, all of which I love, and also Dan Brown. I think Brown is all plot and no finesse but at least he has the plot going for him. It was sort of science fiction, but sort of not, and I don't think it really decided what it wanted to be, apart from the fact that CCTV CAMERAS ARE EVIL!!!11!!!elevEn!! WE ARE ALWAYS BEING WATCHED!! except if you wanted to read that story, you'd actually read the far superior Orwell novel. Not impressed.

Yes! One target completed!! Two books to read by new year though...oh well, I'm 65 pages into Great Expectations, I'll read some more tonight and aim to finish tomorrow, and then two days to read another book - either Hard Times, The Years (Woolf), The Importance of Being Earnest/Collected Plays or Complete Short Stories by Oscar Wilde, or Wuthering Heights. Possibly Peter Ackroyd's biography on Dickens, but definitely not Middlemarch in two days!

Three More Minutes – Chapter Three

Fandom: Lost
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Kate, Sawyer, brief mention of Jack
Prompt: 076. Who?
Summary: Part the last. In which Kate and Sawyer are in the hatch alone.
Word Count: 1028
Disclaimer: I do not own Lost.

I have decided to follow the footsteps of others and set up a separate art journal at creative_bof which you all have to friend. Yeah, I'm not kidding. I'm amazed at aquirkofmatter for friending it even before I had told anyone or had finished the profile! Top of the class, gold star for you LOL.

It needs a bit of work, and I'm really tired for some reason so I won't work much more on it tonight.

I do have one or two questions though; I'm using generator because I just wanted something simple, and that's fine, I've got it working ok. However, the background. It's currently Buffy, just because it vaguely fits the screen.

What exactly is the size I should make LJ backgrounds so they fill the screen?

And also, as you can see, that cap isn't the best quality. Any tips for spiffying it up, OR, any links to high resolution Buffy screencaps? I got this one from screencap-paradise which says it's hi-res but it doesn't look it. 

Any help is much appreciated.

Thankies!

Sooner or later (hopefully sooner) I'll get some of my art up on here. Seeing as I find the majority of my resources here on LJ, it's only fair I credit here as well. So I'll update this page when I find new resources, and keep them all in this post. If I slack and forget, taser me like Mrs. McClusky did until I come and update this!

Kate Austen/James "Sawyer" Ford. 006. Writer's Choice: Journey
Title: Reflections

Prompt: 96. Writer's Choice: Journey
Word Count: 26 chapters, 42228 words and counting.
Rating: PG-13
Summary: “When I look inside you, I see me”.
Author's Notes: When I started this I had seen up to 1x09 but since then I have seen the whole season. This fic takes elements from later episodes, but is readable without and doesn't stick too firmly to the episodes. For example, the hatch does not feature in this but Claire has her baby
Disclaimer: I do not own Lost.

Title: Sawyer Knows
Fandom: LOST
Characters: Kate, Sawyer
