This journal is F-list only.

If you want to see my locked posts, please, please comment in this stickypost, or (by my own rules!) I can't friend you back even if I know you already, and that makes me feel rude! :D

I just like to know who I'm letting into my journal - I post some fairly identifiable stuff on here, so I'm not trying to be unfriendly, in fact, I'll friend pretty much anyone so long as you tell me why I'm doing so.

All my posts come with a warning for serious angst, PTSD, depression and lately, eating disorders. I'm having a rough time of it right now so this is a place for me to vent, and if you aren't willing to see that, please don't friend me.

If I know you IRL, please never tell me that you found this. It will save the both of us a lot of embarrassment.

Posts that are to do with fanfiction etc. will always be public. If you're just looking for updates on that, friend away, and I won't mind!

So, you guys. I know I've been posting a lot recently, but this time it's not just venting, I'd really appreciate some input.

I know a lot of you have been to university or college, or are currently studying, or involved in some way. The question I really, really need some responses for is this: what has your university told you about the risk of rape and how to 'avoid' it? Did they tell your guy friends any differently than they told you?

The reason I'm asking is that I was talking to someone who is at the same university as me, and the dialogue between the university or the student union and the students is misogynistic in the extreme. We want to try and set up something like this, or like this.

For someone who doesn't count herself a feminist, this is pretty damn radical.

AAR OMG (concert report)

: fortune8te; June 10th, 2012

So. For those of you who don't know, I went to the Blink-182 concert yesterday, and guess who was opening? That;s right, our very own All-American Rejects! :D

This, obviously, means CONCERT REPORT. Because who else is going to squee with me? :)

Fic [Alex Rider]: Fighting Shadows

: fortune8te; May 9th, 2012

Title: Fighting Shadows
Word Count: 3,172
Summary: 'Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.' Alex has Post Traumatic Stress. It's not just a plot point.

A/N: Immense gratitude goes out to many people for helping and reassuring me over this fic. I find fic that deals with PTSD hard to read, and apparently even harder to write. Thanks go to xaritomene, nuclearxsquid and whocares19_05, who put up with my foibles and my angst every single day, and reassured me that this was worth writing. Thanks also go to the lovely ladies who participate in Word Wars on the LJ comm , who not only made me hash out the actual words to this fic but also encouraged me to share fic in a fandom none of them even knew existed.

Thank you to nuclearxsquid for a sensitive and thorough beta!

Disclaimer: Don’t own it. Never have, never will. The Alex Rider franchise belongs to Anthony Horowitz and the quote in the summary is Stephen Kings.

AAR!Cartoon

: fortune8te; December 3rd, 2011

Title: Stickmen!AAR
Fandom: All American Rejects
Rating: Gen
Warnings: Zombies. Vampires. Ridiculous stick people. My abysmal drawing skills.
Disclaimer: Not mine, don't know 'em, if you sue you're the one who will look silly.
Summary: In which Stickman!Mike gets lost and Stickman!Tyson has an overactive imagination.

AN: So, er, this is what happens when you put me in an achingly dull lecture about the foundation of the EU and then turn the lights out so I don't get caught. In other words, this looks as if it was drawn in the dark because some of it was. The rest of it was drawn last night whilst I was tipsy. Please forgive me. I am also very sorry if you can't read my writing - let me know and I'll translate.Thanks go to nuclearxsquid, whose response to being shown very bad mobile phone pictures of the first part of this and asked where to go next with it was: 'ZOMBIES NINJAS PIRATES!'

Have this as cheerleading for the Secret Santa! How is everyone getting on?

~~Also, you guys should be proud of me. I braved the scanners and the funny looks of every single person in the computer lab to bring this to you. :D?~~

Mix: Hawaii 5-0 Steve/Danny

: fortune8te; November 3rd, 2011

You guys, I done made a mix! I am irrationally proud of myself for this, especially as the only thing I actually did was decide on the songs and upload them.

So, this is partly because I felt like trying to make a mix, and partly for

nuclearxsquid, who is all kinds of awesome and also a wee bit sick this week. :( Get well soon, honey.

Cover made by the lovely

akire_yta, cos I'm ridiculous with image manipulation. Thank you, aki!

Please let me know if you take it!

Fic: Alex Rider: Mind Over Matter

: fortune8te; October 10th, 2011

Title: Mind Over Matter.

Fandom: Alex Rider

Rating: T for swearing.

Disclaimer: Not mine, never has been, never will be. Not affiliated with Anthony Horowitz.

A/N: Okay! So, this pounced on me one night and wouldn’t let go until I wrote it down. At first, I thought it was going to be part of a longer story, but then it decided that it wanted it’s own spotlight and morphed into a story all of it’s own. Isn’t that nice?

This was beta’d for me by the lovely xaritomene, despite being an ocean away for some of it. I already owed her a million, I now owe her a million and one. Thank you darling. <3

Warnings: Um, my pottymouth? No, seriously, swearing. Alex being awesome. Not Scorpia Rising compatible.

Mind Over Matter

Sorry for spamming your f-lists with three posts in one day, people.

: fortune8te; August 21st, 2011

Current Mood:: contemplative

Title: Small Steps

Rating: Gen

Summary: Sequel to Due Consideration. Kay takes Alex to a university open day.

Fandom: Alex Rider

A/N: So. That sequel to Due Consideration I promised? It finally arrived, after spending five months languishing in a notebook whilst I panicked over exams. As always, thank you to pygmymeese for the wonderful beta(s); any remaining mistakes are my own and I would be eternally grateful if you would point them out for me. Thank you!

Disclamer: Not mine, don't sue. ~~It'll make you look like an idiot.~~

That's really alarming, I have to say. Does that mean that you don't get university support if it's date rape? Because I think you should maybe talk to the uni about that?

That's exactly what I was…

That's really encouraging, I have to say. It's less so here in the UK, unfortunately. Thanks for replying, Avery. <3

I was surprised when we heard about rape up here; they said there have only been a few instances of rape a year (2-3 for the past five or so years) and they just said "be careful" and that "rape is a…

There's been a series of rapes that have occurred recently on my campus, and my university sent out this email on Wednesday:

Thanks, xryso.

I'm basically the same, didn't get anything from my uni until there was actively a string of 'incidents'. This is from the uni that created 'UniLad', so I don't hold out much hope,…
