fanfiction, meta, and general blathering

Ahhhhhh! I can't believe it’s already Yuletide season again! Honestly, the story I most want to read is the one you most want to write. So if you already have a story you want to write, go get down with your bad self. If you seek inspiration, I’m hoping I can provide it :D

So this might've gotten a little long...Collapse )

21 fics in 16 fandoms : 4th & 5th Century RPF/Confessions - St. Augustine, Bend it Like Beckham, Bourne Legacy, Brave, Constantine, Elementary, Fandom Meta/AO3 Tags, Lewis, Love Actually, Luther, My Drunk Kitchen, Pitch Perfect, Professional Griefers, Sabrina, Scandal, Twelfth Night - Shakespeare

I'm used to reccing to friends more than a general comm, so apologies if it's all vague. These are all fandoms or source materials I'm familiar with, and with the exception of The Very Secret Diaries of Saint Augustine, 5 Games Jess Played In, Working With Dinosaurs, and Move Like We Both Don't Need This, I think they'd all benefit from some understanding of canon. But that's my opinion. If you want info on the canon or something other than my GO READ THIS non-rec, please comment :)

This way madness lies, such delicious madnessCollapse )

I still can't believe that in addition to my wonderful main gift, I got two other treats, which were both so much fun to read.

Duty and Pride (Gladiator, M, 1794 words) is a great take on Lucilla's backstory, and her relationships with her father, her brother, and Maximus. Endless Road (Lewis, G, 1136 words) is a lovely little fic all about Scarlett Mortmaigne and being the scion of a noble family in which duty and honor and pride are still incredibly important. Laura's Day Off (Lewis, G, 223 words) is a little Bechdel Test passing drabble because there are so many fantastic women in Lewis and I wanted to see them be their fantastic selves.

Writers, again, thank you! I hope your Yuletides have been as wonderful as mine

EDIT: Added a couple things here and there to clarify ship options (I'm all about options).

Seasons greetings! I am firmly in the write-what-you-want camp, so if you want to use Yuletide as a reason to finally dust off and finish that half-outlined fic that's been on your hard drive since 2006 please don't let my optional options stand in your way. If you're looking for inspiration, read on! Although I apologize in advance if this just devolves into a word vomit of feels.
Brace yourselves: Yuletide is coming.Collapse )

This is mostly for hi_mit_su and caliowl, but I think I may have figured out what character I should cosplay as.

So here it is, the quick and dirty list of where I am in fandom:
  • There's FF.net, but I've decided that's going to be where I archive fic for my anime fandoms and HP. It's also my main beta profile and I really like that feature even though it seems they've got zero standards for letting people call themselves betas :/
  • For the most complete listing of my fic, head over to AO3. I've decided that's going to become my main archiving site. Everything else will be divided among LJ fic comms (and probably the Grimm kinkmeme on DW :P).
  • For fannish things (meta, fangirling, and the like) I'll be using this LJ and then a DW account under the same name. I still rather like it, given that it's been oh 8 years since I picked it up.

Driving makes me happy

Articles, essays, etc. that I find interesting or thought provoking.


Behind a cut because why the hell not. Besides, eventually this will be a BEASTCollapse )

For reals. I've never been a fandom from the very beginning like this before.

Made a whole bunch of icons. Working on a kinkmeme fill. Have an idea for a longer case!fic that would make Prof Marshall so very happy XD
