casness — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 18:47:35 GMT

Today my family celebrates Christmas. We do it early, that's a whole other story as to why. Anyway, postcards have been sent off a couple of weeks ago or was it last week? Let me know when you get it and if you like it. I tried to choose images that corresponded with what I knew about the person.

So what am I up? Well health wise I have a kidney infection (?), at least according to my doctor. The stomach pain that I've had is now present only in stressful situations. All of the tests that were done to find out what was wrong came out to be normal.

Fandom wise? I've noticed a few of my fandoms have gotten drama. I haven't been watching Hawaii five-0. Can anyone tell me if it's still worth watching? The last episode I watched was the Halloween one or was it the one with the bomb. Not sure which came later. I have been watching elementary, which I enjoy a lot. It's taken the need to watch Sherlock away though nothing beats BBC Sherlock. I've watched season 1 of Lost Girl. How did I not know about this show sooner? Also started to watch the new Nikita. I'm still getting used to Maggie Q as Nikita.

I currently have a bunch of WIPs. One of which is the incubus!Stiles and another is set in the president!danny universe. There are others but those are the ones that I'm actively working on.

Family - mom's okay. Sebastian is such a trouble maker. He gets into everything. He's also been bringing up pieces of old wood from the basement. Not sure why but he does that. I'll try to post some pics over at photobucket this week and link them here.

Anyway, happy holidays everyone!

P.S. I've started to write up a post about using psychology in fanfiction.

Confusion

casness — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 22:36:23 GMT

Okay, the new version of friends page confuses me. I can't be the only one that doesn't use it. It's too bright and white and blue and well just..yeah totally not for me. On the other hand, I really like the new version of posting an entry. That's great. Now if only livejournal would remember my preference for it (can it even?).

Everything is okay with me for the most part. Bought Christmas presents for my family. Oh and I decided that I really want to send out postcards this year. So let me know if you want one from me :) I already have a few people that I'm writing drabbles for and one person that's receiving a full fic.

I'm currently reading Middlesex. If you haven't read it, I suggest you do. So far, it's great. What else?

I'm writing a Halo au that's taken on a different pairing than the one I wanted. Muses are just evil sometimes and plot bunnies (evil vicious things).

By the way, that really awesome BDSM au featuring Danny/Steve is gone! This prompted me to grab fanfics from ao3 that I really like.

Still here

casness — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 20:25:28 GMT

So, I'm still here! I posted a new fanfic a couple of days ago (Jackson/Lydia from Teen Wolf - Halo au). Yeah, that's what I get for playing Halo. How awesome was last night's episode of Supernatural? My babies are finally back and I'm still glowing from that episode. My boyfriend said it's been a while since I was this happy with a Supernatural episode.

Nonetheless, I'm taking recs. I need stuff to read on my Ipad so the longer the better! I'm still beta-ing so if anyone wants me to look over anything, I can do that.

On my list of things to write:
1. Steve/Danny fic for a suprise person. I won't say who. It'll be a christmas gift.
2. birthday fic for ladyknightanka

On my list of things to finish:
1. Incubus!Stiles fic.
2. all the other ones that I have to do

P.S. I love that I can talk to my boyfriend about fandoms and pairings :)

Recs: I'm taking recs for well basically any fandom as long as I read it. It's a long list of stuff that I read in.

Teen Wolf adventures in Sims 3 Supernatural

casness — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:51:13 GMT

To make a long explanation short: I got Sims 3 supernatural yesterday and made the Teen Wolf characters, put them in houses around the city and let them live. These are their adventures:
Derek
Derek's goal/ambition in life is to be a pack leader. It was too awesome not to choose that to be his ambition. I'm keeping him unemployed because frankly I'm not sure which way I want it to go. Derek met Chris Argent (chatted with him a few times), got hit by a newspaper when he growled at a lady, lost to a witch in a fight and when he gets too emotional, he turns into a werewolf.

Stiles
Because I couldn't meet Stiles with Derek, I decided to go the other route and try to meet Derek with Stiles. I ended up coming in when Stiles "lunatic slapped" his father. I still have no idea why he did that. And survived a zombie attack (this was mostly done with me maneuvering him from the bedroom to the bathroom and clicking x on zombie attack). So, I headed over to the park near Derek's house and found him there. While initiating Stiles to chat with Derek and quickly going back to Sheriff to make sure that he's set up for his day for work, well....somewhere in that time span, Derek turned Stiles. At this point, I threw my arms up in the air and hoped to Cas that it was the only bad thing that I'll encounter.

Derek
Congrats, Derek! You just turned Stiles, who was supposed to remain human to a wolf. Bad wolf! Then I found out that on my mission to make sterek happen in my game, somewhere in the 10 minutes that I played as Stiles, Derek managed to hook up with a random person living in the town. ~sigh~ Okay, so chat up and romance Stiles - check; break up with girlfriend - check; Didn't expect to be hit by the newspaper by said ex-girlfriend. Oh and he's still obsessing over her even though he's with Stiles. While I'm talking about Stiles, his goal (I made him a teen, then changed the time spent as a teen to minimum) is to be a news anchor. And apparently, he's writing a book as well(?)

Yeah, so we have Derek and Stiles who are werewolves hunting together and being all in love while Derek changed his personality from broody to party animal (have no idea how this happened. At some point, it all got away from me). I just hope that Derek doesn't end up turning Chris Argent (he's been obsessed with friending him last night).

Public update

casness — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 22:32:24 GMT

So, you make a promise to yourself to not involve yourself in a major way with another fandom (writing fanfiction doesn't count) and what do you do? Exact opposite. Jeff Davis Letters or as I like to call it Letters to Jeff Davis is up and operational. Not so many posts but I figure that they'll come. The first ever post there is actually my own experience with Teen Wolf.

Nonetheless, I am writing! I finished up writing a short Jackson/Isaac from Teen Wolf au or a part of it. I'm not quite sure what ended up there but it's something. I'm searching for a beta for that one. If anyone is interested.

Other than that, everything is good. common_meme is doing great. I love the people that are involved with that. We make an awesome team. Hawaii Five-0 will be starting soon so I'm excited for that. Can't wait to see what the gang gets into this season. It should be exciting especially with that finale that we were left with. Another show that I'm looking forward to is Strike Back. Now if only my boyfriend wasn't sick with pneumonia, I can get that season 1 from him before the new season starts. Alas, that's not the case, thank God that I saw the first two episodes at the con.

I leave you with this video:

[Fic] Quis Ut Deus?

casness — Sun, 12 Aug 2012 00:54:40 GMT

Title: Quis Ut Deus? (AO3)
Rating: NC-17
Genre: Slash, alternative universe, movie fusion with Priest, first time.
Pairing(s) / Character(s): Michael/Adam; Dean/Castiel (minor); Lucifer/Nick (implied), Gabriel, Lucifer, Sam
Warnings: character death, references to torture
Word Count: 16431
Author's Notes: This is my first Big Bang. It's set in the Priest universe with slight modifications. _bluebells did the artwork and beta'd this. I cannot thank her enough for her encouragement, support and everything else. It was a pleasure to work with such a talented person. You can find the art for the fanfic here. This would not be possible if it were not for the amazing group at spn_adambang who tweeted with me and encouraged me when I was stuck. Thank you to those people, you know who you are.
Summary: When Adam's mom dies, her last wish was for him to travel to live with his half-brothers, Dean and Sam. After being saved by a Priest, Adam is invited to journey with them to Hunter's Grove. On the way there, Adam finds out about Order, who John Winchester really was, and the secrets his mom was keeping. Unfortunately, he also attracts the attention of Lucifer, a fallen Priest who kidnaps him for his own revenge.

Fandom update

casness — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 01:22:17 GMT

♦ I outlined a fanfic! And started writing it so that works out well. It's a Derek/Stiles au.

♦ I'm trying to think up of ideas for my kink bingo card, which is located here.

♦ I've been doing more beta work lately. That along with my RL obligations leaves me little time to actually sit down and write my own stuff.

♦ I will be posting a fanfic on August 11th. It's the one that I wrote for spn_adambang.

General update

casness — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 02:27:59 GMT

First, off I want to thank demira_watson for the amazing sterek fanfic that she wrote for my birthday! I loved it and if anyone on my flist is into Teen Wolf and sterek, go here to read it and don't forget to leave kudos and comments (if you wish).

So, I'm finally done with my fanfic for spn_adambang. That's off being beta-d by an amazing person. I have a couple of things next on my list that are long fics and a few challenges/prompts to write so I'm not sure what'll be up next.

There is a new chapter for Her Discovery up at AO3 and ff.net. For those that don't know about it, it's sterek from Erica's point of view.

That's basically all that I've been up to.

[Fic] Pet Peeve (Gen)

casness — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:20:31 GMT

Title: Pet Peeve
Pairing/Characters: Harvey, Mike, Donna
Genre: Gen
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I do not own anything. Suits is the owned by USA Network.
Author's Note: Written for the second week challenge at suits_meme.
Warning: None.
Summary: Mike tries to find out Donna's pet peeve.

"How can you not have any pet peeves?" questioned Mike, "everyone has pet peeves."

Donna looked at Mike and lied, "I don't have any." She noticed Harvey walking towards them and called out, "The files are on your desk."

Harvey nodded and stopped near Donna's desk. "What are you doing here, Mike? You should be working on those briefs," he said.

"They're done," answered Mike.

"He's being naughty," said Donna at the same time as Mike.

Harvey looked between the two of them then turned to Mike. "Why are you annoying Donna?"

"I want to know her pet peeve," said Mike.

"You don't need to. Now go back to work. Donna find him something to do," said Harvey before walking away.

"Here you go," said Donna. She gave him the stack of briefs that was on her desk to read.

Mike glared at her before taking the files and walking back to his desk.

Donna glanced at Harvey in his office, who winked at her. She smiled, thankful that he was able to save her from revealing that those skinny ties of Mike's were starting to become a pet peeve for her as well.

Pairing: Derek/Stiles
Warnings: n/a
Fill: Here (complete)

Title: I Have To Mark You Mine

Fill: Here (complete)

Title: Is Cockblocking a new Werewolf skill?
Prompt/Summary: Basically, Scott is a cockblock. He manages to interrupt Stiles and Derek constantly at the worst possible moment.

Pairing: Derek/Stiles
Warnings: n/a
Fill: Here (complete)

Stiles has always gotten along fairly decently with Derek, but that all changes when Stiles is fourteen, and Derek turns eighteen (when the wolf reaches maturity and starts viewing its mate sexually). He distances himself further and further from Stiles until Stiles' eighteenth birthday, by which time they don't exactly have the best of relationships.

Title: One for the Money, Two for the Show
Prompt/Summary: Scott and/or Jackson come over to see Derek and find Derek and Stiles fucking (the rougher, more animalistic, bitey, knotting, etc the better). Scott/Jackson end up secretly watching them, getting totally turned on and jerking off. Bonus if Derek is totally aware they're being watched and puts on a show (preferably, with Stiles unaware)

Title: Playing House
Prompt/Summary: Derek's grandmother (or anyone of his family that didn't die in the fire) comes to pay his grandson a visit, and upon seeing him bickering with Stiles, assumes they're boyfriends. Derek is mortified, but don't want to correct her since she seems so happy about it. Stiles thinks it's freaking hilarious and rolls with it, calling Derek some ridiculous sweet names, cooking him breakfast and snuggling with him when the grandmother's around. Then both realize they could ACTUALLY get used to it if they haven't already, and this is not convenient at all. Tdlr: They have to pretend to be a couple

Pairing: Derek/Stiles

Pairing: Derek/Stiles
Warnings: age kink
Fill: Here (complete)

Title: The Secret to Werewolf Romance
Prompt/Summary: Similar to Allison's effect on Scott, Stiles presence turns Derek's crazy, scary-ass wolf form into an overenthusiastic, playful puppy. The rest of Derek's pack, aka Scott and Jackson, are initially really confused because they don't know what is making their Alpha uncharacteristically friendly. When they figure it out, Derek doesn't intimidate them so much anymore. Kudos for Stiles being really fond of Derek's wolf form and treating him like his favorite pet

Warnings: n/a

Title: Stuff
Prompt/Summary: Scott doesn't need werewolves senses to know that Stiles has a big crush on Derek. I'd like some nice Scott-Stiles friendship moment, sitting at Stiles or Scott's window, with Scott being understanding and Stiles being all sarcastic to hide what he really feels

Title: This Guy's Everywhere
Prompt/Summary: Several rival packs have moved into town, and Beacon Hills is becoming a hotbed of werewolf activity. Unmated humans in packs are extremely vulnerable during this kind of territorial dispute, so Derek convinces Stiles to wear his scent for his own protection. This unintentionally (but inevitably) leads to Derek becoming intensely possessive and affectionate with Stiles (and endless jokes from Jackson/Scott/etc.). Bonus points if Derek is in complete denial of his feeling, until the obligatory sexytimes of course.

The Hunger Games Review

casness — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 21:38:04 GMT

So, I finally finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins today. I'll keep this review short and spoiler free.

Overall, I give it about 2 1/2 stars. Now before you start bashing me and say that I'm unjust hear me out. Dystopian literature has been around for a long time. Stories with people or children being taken to a remote location to kill each other has also been around for a while. A combination of the two is also around. So, there is a lot of history and previous material that's out there.

Now, I previously said that I'm iffy about this because one of my favorite novels is Battle Royale, where students are taken for their school, dropped off at a remote location and told to kill each other. A lot more gore, violence and psychology in that one.

This to me, read like a young adult romance set in a dystopian society. When one writes a book, you would hope that the audience relates to the characters, that they can understand what you are trying to say. This book lacked that for me. At the end of it, I hated the need for there to be a love triangle (because really? You want to convince me that Gale and Katniss like each other? that Katniss feels something for Peeta?) It seemed like the entire time, the author kept making mentions of Gale and that Katniss may feel love for him to make a triangle happen.

In conclusion, it's an okay book for those that want to read that specific genre (dystopian survival games) but honestly, I would recommend Battle Royale over this.

Edit: I also want to say that I completely ship Katniss/Peeta because there is no way that Katniss does not feel something for him. I'm also probably going to read the other two books since I found out about the ending.

[Fic] Car ride (Travis/Wes)

casness — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 05:06:05 GMT

Title: Car ride
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Travis/Wes
Rating: PG-13/R
Genre: slash, episode coda
Warnings/Spoilers: Spoiler for episode 1.04.
Summary: Before Travis goes to dinner with Phil, Wes and Travis discuss things.
Author's Note: At some point today, I gave up fighting my muse, especially since there are enablers all around. You know who you all are. :) Unbeta'd.
Disclaimer: Common Law belongs to USA Network. Basically, nothing belongs to me.

Wes glances at Travis who hasn't looked at him or talked since they got into the car after the therapy session. He sighs and turns on the radio to one of the stations that Travis programmed in. Great, he thinks as 'Fly' by Sugar Ray fills the silence. As he reaches out to switch the station, his hand bumps into Travis', who turns off the radio.

Another glance at Travis, confirms that he's still looking out the window. His left hand now clenched in a fist. Wes looks around and spots an abandoned alley. He drives into the alley and parks before turning to Travis. "Talk, Travis," he says, looking at Travis.

Travis turns to Wes. "You're not the other woman."

Wes nods and says, "I know. So, what's bothering you?"

Travis fully in his seat. "Phil and I weren't together. We were just partners, man. Not what we are," he waves his hand between the two of them for emphasis.

Wes nods and motions for Travis to continue.

"So, why does it feel like I'm going to dinner with an ex? like I'm cheating on you?"

"Travis, you're not cheating unless you're dating someone. What we have is...it's no strings attached sex," answers Wes and winches at the lie. It stopped being that for Wes a while ago.

"Yeah but...what if I want more?" asks Travis, the last part said in a whisper. "I want us to be more." He looks at the dashboard, out the windshield, anywhere but Wes.

"You mean a relationship?"

Travis nods but still doesn't look at Wes.

Wes smiles and grabs the back of Travis' head, turning his head so that he would see his eyes. "This means no more women, girlfriends, one nightstands or whatever else. You're mine now," he says. He waits for Travis to nod before pulling him into a kiss. Wes hears Travis moan and smiles into the kiss.

They battle for dominance before Travis tugs him closer and Wes gives in. The seatbelts prevent the two from taking the kiss any further but still when it ends, both are out of breath.

When Wes moves back to lean into his seat, he looks down and notices the bulge in Travis' pants. He licks his lips as he looks back up at Travis.

"You'll kill me when we're done," says Travis before leaning forward and giving Wes a quick kiss. "Let's go to your place."

Wes' cock was straining against the zipper of his pants. Finally, he would be able to claim Travis, to show the world that Travis was his.

"By the way, if I'm yours, that means that you're mine, Wes," says Travis and Wes doesn't have to look at him to know that he's smirking. Travis takes his seatbelt off and cups Wes' bulge.

"Travis," Wes moans leaning back into the leather. "I'll kill you if you get cum on the leather."

Travis chuckles and pulls Wes into another kiss. "I love you," he says after he ends the kiss.

"I love you too," answers Wes. "Now, we have to go. My place is closer and you still have that dinner with Phil."

"Yeah," says Travis. He leans back into his seat as Wes starts the car and pulls out of the alley. "I think you should mark me, just so that he knows nothing can happen. So that everyone knows, I belong to you. And then, I'll mark you," he says playing into Wes' desires.

"How?" Wes moans out, feeling his cock get harder.

"I'll fuck you," answers Travis, "so hard that you'll feel it the next day. And mark you, give you a hickey right here." He touches a spot on Wes' neck that makes Wes moan. He takes his hand away then and turns on the radio, chuckling as he notices that Wes was speeding to get home.

E3 Microsoft Conference Review

casness — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 23:02:58 GMT

So, as many of you know or may not know, I'm a total gamer girl. I grew up on video games and it's not something that I plan on giving up anytime soon. So, today is the pre-show conferences for some of the biggest studios in gaming. I'll probably end up combining some of the other conference reviews together but Microsoft gets its own.

So, Microsoft, the company that brought us the Xbox 360 and a bunch of exclusive titles. I'm not a fan of their Xbox Smart Glass device because, honestly, I'm not into tablets. In terms of it obtaining new media applications, I'm on the fence with that. I like some of the apps that they have but I don't use all of them, my top 2 that I use are Netflix and HBO GO.

Anyway, Halo 4 looks good. I'm not a fan of the Halo series even though I loved Reach, mainly because I can't seem to get into it. Nonetheless, I'm worried about what will happen to Cortana, the AI that helps Master Chief.

The prequel story featuring Baird for Gears of War looked amazing! I'm a huge Gears of War fan so that's definitely on the top of my list to get.

Resident Evil 6 looked interesting and while I love the series, it's not a game that I will probably place. The last one I placed was 5 and that was mainly because it was set during the day. No night missions with zombies for me.

I honestly thought we had seen the last of Sam Fischer but apparently not since he's back in Splinger Cell: Blacklist.

Now, Fable: The Journey should not be called Fable 4. It's not Fable 4, if it was then Lionhead Studios would have titled it as such. This one is more of a "look what we can do with Kinect" rather than a true sequel to Fable.

We,, that's all from me. If I missed anything, let me know.

[Fic] By a Mirror

casness — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 14:38:21 GMT

Title: By a Mirror
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Michael/Adam
Rating: R
Genre: slash, episode coda
Warnings : Dub-con
Spoilers: Spoilers for season 5
Summary: Michael claims Adam as his.
Author's Note: This is all because of bellacatbee and ladyknightanka, who talked about Adam and Michael talking through a mirror. Beta'd by ladyknightanka, any mistakes that remain are mine. Be warned that this is dub-con
Disclaimer: The characters in this fanfic belong to Kripke and CW.

Michael doesn't head back to Heaven right away after claiming Adam Milligan as his vessel; instead he ends up in a hotel room. He wasn't so cruel as to not allow Adam to say goodbye. He goes to the bathroom first and grabs the hand lotion, not paying attention to Adam's reflection in the mirror. He then opens the closet door to reveal the full length mirror with a reflection of Adam glaring defiantly at him.

"You accepted me," says Michael, looking at Adam.

"I thought you were the good guys," replies Adam. He walks closer and bangs on the glass. "Let me out!"

"Stop, it will not help you. After I kill Lucifer, I will free you," says Michael. He lays a hand on the mirror.

Adam laughs. "More like leave me as a husk. That's not a life or freedom."

"No, but you would be dead if it were not for me," replies Michael. He shrugs off the denim jacket.

"What are you doing?" asks Adam, startled.

"I am claiming you as mine." He smiles as he sees Adam blush. Michael continues to take off his vessel's clothing until he is naked in front of the mirror. He places the bottle of hand lotion he grabbed from the bathroom on the shelf of the closet. He smiles at Adam as he starts to caress the neck, letting Adam's memory of the last girl who gave him a hickey there come to the forefront of his mind.

Even though Adam is still dressed on the other side of the mirror, Michael smirks as he watches Adam close his eyes to the sensations of Michael touching his body. He continues down, stopping at the nipples. He knows the techniques from the years he watched humanity. He alternates between pinching and rubbing the nipples until both are hard. He feels Adam's cock start to harden. Michael opens his eyes, not realizing that he had closed them, and looks at Adam, who desperately tries to hide his arousal.

Adam collapses on his knees when he feels and sees Michael grasp his cock; he grips his knees to stop himself from grasping his own cock and stroking it.

"Who do you think about?" asks Michael. He lets go of his cock, takes the bottle of hand lotion from the shelf and opens it. He pours some of the lotion on his hand, then tosses the bottle aside and grasps his cock again. He looks at Adam, who is still gripping his knees, the bulge in his jeans obvious.

"Do you think of them?" Michael lets images of Dean and Sam come to his mind.

Adam shakes his head and looks at Michael, tears in his eyes. "Please," he whispers, but stops himself from saying anything more.

Michael looks at Adam and moans when he starts to stroke his cock faster. "No," he says, "then who?"

Adam lets out a moan and shakes his head, his hand now in his pants, stroking in sync to Michael.

Michael leans against the door, closer to the mirror, and grips his cock to stave off his orgasm. "No, answer me first," he says, breathing harder.

Adam whimpers and looks at Michael. "You," he whispers and lets Michael access the memories of seeing him in heaven. Of the attraction, the arousal that he felt each time that he saw him. Those memories push him over the edge and he comes in his jeans, falling forward on the ground.

Michael groans as he comes, spraying the mirror. He breathes hard as he looks at Adam, crumbled on the floor. He uses a finger to trace Adam's face in the mirror. Maybe in the future, they can be together, but not yet. Not until he deals with Lucifer. You would have obeyed me all along, he thinks, now having access to all of Adam's memories.

I'm not sure how many of you know her personally, through tumblr (internet) or anything like that. There's a woman in the supernatural fandom that needs help. Please go here for more information regarding her situation.

Thanks to everyone in advance for any help or even signal boosting that you do!
