TITLE: He Might Have Good Reason

PAIRING: Tony/Pepper with a side of Captain America (Steve Rogers)
RATING: General
SPOILERS: For the Avengers movie.
DISCLAIMER: I made no money from the writing of this fic.
SUMMARY: Pepper wonders about the tension between Tony and Steve.

TITLE: While Crying
AUTHOR: jenbachand
PAIRING: mention of Bill/Lorena
RATING: PG-13
SPOILERS: Through season 3.
DISCLAIMER: I made no money from the writing of this fic.
SUMMARY: A softer side of Lorena.
NOTES: This was my Challenge 1 entry for trueblood_las. The challenge was to make your least favorite character likable.

( And when one solitary tear rolled down her cheek, she understood why William had still cared for humans.Collapse )

So, I've either had a revelation or lost my mind. I've signed up for a Last Author Standing.



Yes, I've been swallowed up by True Blood writing.

I mean look at this pretty. It begs for you to write about Eric's childhood by the North Sea and the skills Sookie has to show him. ;)



Plus the TB coms are so fun and amazing. So here's hoping it goes well. Come play if you're in the fandom too. :)

ETA:
OMG look at him rocking this blue sweater! Unf! Unf! Unf!

( My lack of control over my feelings was unsettling.Collapse )

I'm getting ready to start doing cards. Only cards this year, but in hopes that I'll get them done.

All answers visible to me only. :)

TITLE: Locker Door
AUTHOR: jenbachand
PAIRING: Grissom/Sara
RATING: General
SPOILERS: Yes! 10x1 spoilers based on clips that are out there.
DISCLAIMER: I made no money from the writing of this fic.
SUMMARY: Looking at the empty shelves, it felt like the first day of school.
NOTES: Beta'd by the always lovely mingsmommy. Inspired from the clip that was on the People site the other day as well as the 1hour2write picture challenge found here.

A little How To for you lovelies. This is how to create a custom filter on your friends list with some instructions. Sometimes certain people or communities have things you don't need every day, but you still want to keep track of them, this is how to do it. Hope you find it helpful.

Step 1: Cut a hole in the box. From the Livejournal home page choose Manage and then Friends. The Friends Tools Page will then come up.

( Screen captures and directions.Collapse )

Hope you have found this informative. If you have any questions, let me know.

For those of you who might be interested in dipping your toe into something new.

1hour2write is a community that lets you set aside 1 hour (and a bit) each week to meet up with other writers, go write, and come back to discuss how you did.

Chat tonight: 8:30PM (EDT - 7:30 Central, 6:30 Mountain, 5:30 Pacific)
AIM Chat Room Name: onehour2write
Ping us at onehourmod on AIM if you need an invite.

Chat is open to writers of all fandoms and genres. It's time to set aside one hour to write, and a little more to communicate with other writers in a supportive community meant to encourage writing in general. Pull up a spot and get ready to write!

If you are having connection issues for the AIM Chat, we would like to suggest using the free web messaging site Meebo.com

We're changing up the schedule a bit for the next couple of weeks to see if we can accommodate more writers. The schedule is as follows:

Sunday - 7:30PM (EDT - 6:30 Central, 5:30 Mountain, 4:30 Pacific)
Tuesday - 8:30PM (EDT - 7:30 Central, 6:30 Mountain, 5:30 Pacific)
Thursday - 8:30PM (EDT - 7:30 Central, 6:30 Mountain, 5:30 Pacific)

*Times are an approximation based on Mods Schedules, but will generally be around the times listed.*

Depending on the traffic, we might change it again in July, but for now, these are the days that were the most popular in the poll and that the mods could accommodate.

RATING: Teen
SPOILERS: Somewhere before Sara left the first time.
DISCLAIMER: I made no money from the writing of this fic.
SUMMARY: A tale of love, hate, sex, mystery, murder and pricey cookware.
NOTES: So this has been sitting in my writing folder for 2 years. I started it, got sidetracked by graduation and always meant to come back to it. Yeah. So in an effort to get my writing groove back on, I dusted it off and finished it up. Much thanks to losingntrnslatn for the beta work.

*gives puppy eyes*

So...

A few weeks ago I signed up with houseparty.com and on the list of upcoming parties was one for American Idol where one of the hosts would win a new Ford Fusion & a trip to LA.

So, I signed up. Not figuring I'd get to host the party.

But I did. My stuff for the party came yesterday. Lovely AI & Ford stuff to give to my guests. Backpacks & Cookie Cutters & Balloons & More.

Here's where I'd love some help. You can vote for me and I get additional chances to win. And you can win some goodies also. $500 & $100 Gift Cards are up for grabs for voting for me.



Also if you're in the hood and would like to come next Tuesday let me know. Karaoke & Rainbow Cake!

TITLE: I Do
AUTHOR: jenbachand
PAIRING: Grissom/Sara, Greg/Sara
RATING: Teen
SPOILERS: Somewhat through current season, but as I'm boycotting until I get my happy ending, it's based on summaries of episodes.
DISCLAIMER: I made no money from the writing of this fic.
SUMMARY: Something in the mail overwhelms Grissom and brings back memories.
NOTES: A gazillion years ago someone suggested Jude's I Do as a good songfic for angsty GSR. As I wasn't in a place for it then, I kept it in my mind, but here it is. It carries a hankey warning, as mingsmommy told me it made her weepy when she looked it over. Thanks to losingntrnslatn for the second read through.

( I got a letter todayCollapse )

A while back que_quae_quod put this up in her journal and I was intrigued. Of course 500,000 other things have taken priority, but I'm feeling like I need an outlet this afternoon.

Write three short paragraphs, the first FEAR, the second ANGER, and the last PLEASURE, without using those words. Try to render these emotions by describing physical sensations or images. Try to make your language precise and fresh.

( AbigailCollapse )

( SaraCollapse )

( SarahCollapse )

I'm not quite sure I got all the emotions by themselves, but I do feel better now. All done in my little LJ window with no editing. Hope you liked.
