Meme stolen from [personal profile] lil_1337

1) Give me a pairing or a couple of characters
2) Give me an AU setting. (non-AU is awesome too, just indicate)
3) I will write you a three-sentence fic.

ask if you're not sure about my fandoms. :D

So I went and signed up for cottoncandy_bingo on DW; I might regret it since school is starting up again for me this coming Tuesday and I will not have any brain function for anything creative whatsoever but well...we'll see.

And schmoop_bingo is kinda dead now and I've missed it because it was the perfect kind of bingo for me. But cottoncandy_bingo seems to be the same kind of bingo so I'll take it.

Am still in denial that I've turned twenty-one. Not to make any one here feel older but this is old enough, okay? stop aging self.

There was some wine-tasting. It was as horrible as I thought it might be. And a Pushing Daisies marathon that left me wanting more. :/ Damn it, show. You ended with even more questions than you started with. (I wanted more story lines about Ned's father; he clearly knows about his son but where has he been these past twenty years of his son's life?!)

And writing. Wrote some more on that Young Justice story.

and I screen-capped the story lines I wrote out on Twitter so I can have them for later (read from bottom up):

On the academic front, I only have to show up for one final on Tuesday for the poetry class. Of course that means I have one English essay and one Philosophy essay to hand in before semester's end next Friday and of course I haven't started either essay. Thankfully no Biology lab and creative writing final.

"A Refusal to Mourn the Death, by Fire1, of a Child in London
Dylan Thomas

Never until the mankind making
Bird beast and flower
Fathering and all humbling darkness
Tells with silence the last light breaking
And the still hour
Is come of the sea tumbling in harness

And I must enter again the round
Zion2 of the water bead
And the synagogue of the ear of corn
Shall I let pray the shadow of a sound
Or sow my salt seed
In the least valley of sackcloth to mourn

The majesty and burning of the child's death.
I shall not murder
The mankind of her going with a grave truth
Nor blaspheme down the stations of the breath
With any further
Elegy of innocence and youth.

Deep with the first dead lies London's daughter,
Robed in the long friends,
The grains beyond age, the dark veins of her mother,
Secret by the unmourning water
Of the riding Thames.
After the first death, there is no other.

1 During the firebombing of London, known as the Blitz, in World War II
2 Heaven (from a Palestinian citadel, the nucleus of Jerusalem)

~*~

Also, if anyone feels obliged indulging me - what are your favorite sad songs? I'm compiling a playlist of sad songs to listen to while writing (because I've found having the right music on in the background is the perfect catalyst to be in the right mood for what I need to be writing) . This brought to by my creative writing teacher who gave us "little coffin" as this week's writing prompt. Yes, I don't think I'm clever enough yet to make that a *humorous* story so might as well cave in and try to make my whole class sob as much as possible. It's possible that I am a little evil. But only a little. :D

So far my list includes:

Pearl Jam's "Last Kiss"
Scorpions "Wind of Change"
Stone Sour's "Through Glass"
Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On"
Sia's "Breathe Me"
Birdy's "Skinny Love" and "Shelter"
Snow Patrol's "Run"
James Blunt's "Goodbye My Lover" (which doesn't help if you've seen Ten/Rose fanvids set to this song)

DIRECTIONS: List the ten stories on Archive of Our Own.org with the greatest number of hits and if you wish, leave commentary about what you think it means.
BONUS/OPTIONAL QUESTION: What are your top ten favourites of your stories at AO3?

Really, the reason why these stories got as much hits as they did was because they featured hot guys getting it on with other hot guys. Alas, gen and femslash pieces do not get as many hits.

So at the beginning of this month, I had said that I wanted to write everyday for  [livejournal.com profile] 31_days because I want EVEN MORE CHALLENGES (like going to college full-time and working and trying to fit in studying and watching/keeping up with popular culture was not enough of a challenge for me, I have to go ahead and try to challenge myself to write every day too.)

I AM PRETTY MUCH ROCKING THIS CHALLENGE I SET FORTH FOR MYSELF.

There will definitely be a masterlist at the end and everything. Because dammit, after EVERYTHING, a master list will be AWESOME.

The thing is, here we are at day thirteen and I'm already deflated and wanting to just nap and not write. (Not that I'll beg for encouragement or anything because I don't want to seem TOO DESPERATE even though I totally am so very desperate.)
cc
Meh. Anyways: LOOOOOK AT ALL THE SHINIES THAT I HAVE WRITTEN (that I'll hate after this month, but let's not think about that right now):

PRESENTING THE SEMI-COMPLETED MASTERLIST OF FICS WRITTEN FOR 31_DAYS:
February 2012: Mixed Fandoms
  • 1st: The Earth is frozen solid, like a heart that will not love - First Interlude [Power Rangers: Ninja Storm, Cam/Hunter]
  • 2nd: My love a beacon in the night - this is my winter song [Power Rangers: Ninja Storm, Cam/Hunter, Blake/Tori]
  • 3rd: O, for a muse of fire! - do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips [Power Rangers: Ninja Storm, Cam/Hunter]
  • 4th: A candle burned on the table - First Comes Love [Power Rangers: Ninja Storm, Blake/Tori, Cam/Hunter]
  • 5th: Snowflakes are kisses from heaven - Waiting for Tomorrow [InuYasha, Kagome/InuYasha]
  • 6th: As seek to quench the fire of love with words I FAILED MISERABLY HERE BUT WILL TRY TO GET A STORY FINISHED BY AMNESTY DAY
  • 7th: ...Some say in ice - It's what friends are for [Warehouse 13, Steve, Claudia, gen]
  • 8th: Words are only painted fire - Back to the Beginning [Power Rangers: Mystic Force, Madison/Nick]
  • 9th: Only ice in the blood - ice inside your soul [The Vampire Diaries, Caroline/Tyler, Caroline/Klaus]
  • 10th: Fire is never a gentle master - In your arms and in your heart [Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue, Dana/Ryan] [also written for Porn Battle 13]
  • 11th: In the ice of its own indifference - You Don't See Me [Power Rangers: Ninja Storm, Dustin/Marah]
  • 12th: Some say the world will end in fire - Curiosity Killed the Cat [Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue, Dana/Ryan]
  • 13th: Love is the fire of life -- consuming, purifying. - For Always and Forever [Power Rangers: Mystic Force, Madison/Nick]
It's overwhelmingly Power Ranger based. Which. Y'know. I sometimes get a nostalgic craving to re-watch and suddenly...there's fic. Although it's kinda funny that I'm only now catching up on Mystic Force just for the fandom - as small as it is, after having sworn that Power Rangers ended for me after Ninja Storm and that was IT. A grown lady should not immerse herself in any more in kid-stuff. Clearly I have no qualms any more about anything.

I've suddenly become one of those people who shower in the morning and I hate that because it means I have to get up two hours before my usual 10 a.m. waking up. I like sleep, damnit, but of course I wouldn't have to take showers in the morning if I went to bed at a reasonable hour and didn't pass out before taking said shower but there's SO MUCH TO DO arghhhhhhhh *loopy in the morning*

In other news, I'm trying to write every day for [livejournal.com profile] 31_days for the month of February (because the themes are gorgeous - see them here). Gosh, have I missed writing for this comm. And I really, really hope I can be successful in writing every day. Although, my writing's mostly hit-and-miss during school. I should've planned ahead more and written more than three fics (well a total of two finished fics for the first two days and just a tiny one where I just scribbled a sentence or two) but what can you do?

Also, Porn Battle 13 is almost here! (Prompting is open until this Thursday.) Yay! This is what I go to when I just can't write anything. Because writing about porn apparently doesn't take any inspiration.

my prompts )

Also, also, have to read Hamlet again for Intro to Literary studies. I'm loving it more this time around then when I had to read it in high school. (I want to call Hamlet "Ham Ham" just because it amuses me so. But only in my head.)

Man, I'm so tired. Is it February break yet? No? Damn.

dahlia_moon: (Sokka's ready for takeoff)
I kept waiting for some awesome Mason/Alaric/Damon and wheeeeeee!! someone finally answered my prayers - Here Comes Another Fall from Grace (I'm Always Falling On My Face)

And this is the lone story I wrote for Fall Fandom Free For All:
Sigh. It doesn't look like I'll be filling in any of the other prompts. Some are awesome and I'd like to write more for it, but the blankness I get whenever I try to start one of them is mocking me and so I start hating it and walk away in a huff. Well, fine prompt, if you don't want to be written, I won't write you. *iz five*

Speaking of writing, I started a document a while ago where I drop random titles that pop into my head for future stories that I might want to write. So far there are only several titles with no stories:

oo1: this isn't the apocalypse, but if it were, there'd be more angst

oo2: all the right moves

oo3: strawberry girl

oo4: the last will and testament of bruce wayne

oo5: the batgirl club

Of course, it also happens that the ideas I do have floating in my head and that I'm trying to write down have no titles. I don't even know.

Also, more speaking of writing: trolling[livejournal.com profile] mini_nanowrimo's friends' page, I found that someone had linked to something called Yarny...which looks like it's a writing program. Or something. For serious writers, who attempt novels every November (aka people who are NOT me but it looks fun to fool around with).

I haven't fooled around with it too much, but it looks like a plain Word document that also acts like an outline thingy. (I know there're similar programs out there but they cost money and this one looks like it's free>.) Which is yay for me because outlining for me does not end pretty. It's also providing to be useful for when I'm not on my own laptop, I can just log-in and access all my stuff (I know I could just email things back and forth between myself or have a private entry on here, but I'm pretty horrid at keeping updated versions and this saves automatically so you don't have to keep re-sending yourself emails or re-editing journal entries). Because I try to not turn on my own laptop until I get all my studying done and out of the way, but sometimes inspiration strikes and I can use my parents' notebook to jot things down. So there's that. And it has tags too, and you can color-code stuff *nerdgasm*.

And it's been awesomely easier for me to keep track of mini_nanowrimo stuff and daily wordcounts because there's a built-in word counter!! yayyy!! and I don't have to have a million word documents of sh*t saved on this - when I'm basically running out of disk space, as it is.

~*~

And my anime self:



I tried to put this up on Tumblr where I got it from but the image preview thingy is wonky and the image ends up being a very teeny, tiny not-quite-like-the-others image. Bah. So here's the site.

▲ Might I redirect your attention to:


+ I'd really love to fill mixtapes for people in the Fall Fandom Free-For-All (or, um, I guess they're called fanmixes? um, because mixtapes are a physical thing and these would just be links to the music), but OMG, music is such a personal thing with me. And anyways, all I listen to is mainstream, teenybopper pop music, so I definitely should not entertain thoughts of doing that. Stick with what you know and all the other cliches.

♥ I went comic-shopping again on Sunday after swearing to myself to not go until I got a new car (but...ehhh, realistically when would that be really?). I am really the most horrible daughter living; I feel so guilty. Things have been pretty tight around here money-wise (have had to loan two of my paychecks to pay for things - but I'm alright with that, my mommy pays me back) and here I am, just totally going crazy and forking over money like they grow on trees around here. But, the LCS had a special back-issues sale, OK? $5 per pound of comics is a pretty awesome deal. Mostly this is just me trying to relieve my guilt. I mean, it's my money, I work for it and if I want to blow it on some quality comics, that is totally my choice. Right? Still THE UTTER GUILT.
dahlia_moon: (SGA team awesome)
NEW TV and WRITING
  • Terra Nova continues to be awesome. I love pretty much everybody on it. I just wish they could tell us more about what the year 2149 was like. I know we know the gist of it, but some flashbacks wouldn't be remiss, show. And I know the point of the show isn't that the characters dwell in the past, but look to the future, and yadda-yadda ya, but if they don't look to the past every once in a while, they'll end up making the same mistake. And there won't be a rift in the time-space continuum then that they can escape to. Just sayin'.
  • Sped through the first season of Spooks/M1-5 which was kinda easy for me since it was only six episodes. I have spoiled myself on the subsequent seasons and if it weren't for Rupert Penry-Jones and Richard Armitage appearing in later seasons, I'd just give up now.
  • Psych is back!! Yay. The show is kinda ridiculous in a campy, I-don't-think-that's-quite-how-you-do things sort of way, but I love that it can be a silly crime show. You can laugh for an hour and I appreciate that. The sixth season premiere episode was so freaking awesome.
  • There was fic posted over the weekend. cover the earth with roses (Persuasion) and I told her all my heart (North & South). They're really short but I've found it's quite hard to try to write for period dramas if you totally don't want to be OOC (for either the characters or time period).
And I continue to watch way too much tv and movies. I blame Netflix. That devil.

dahlia_moon: (SGA team awesome)
  • So [livejournal.com profile] sga_santa is live and I've decided NOT to participate this year, which, yeah bums me out a bit but I think it's for the best. I still have my romcom story I need to finish (this is the amnesty period and if I don't get it done by the new year, I have no idea what I'll do with myself).
  • So the new owners of Delicious have moved in. Ugh. I'll miss the old layout. Also: Delicious, I'm pretty sure I had a ton more tags than the ones I'm currently able to see on the side.
  • I watched the two-hour premier of Terra Nova last night. I pretty much loved it. Dinosaur-themed shows aren't particularly my cup of tea, but there's time travel and mysteries and Landon Liboiron. So. (Google says he's my age. I'm choosing to believe this because it tickles me.) I'm in love with the whole Shannon family. And Skye. Skye, it took me a while to warm up to her, but by the end of the episode, I was totally rooting for her. And, kinda surprising, I like Commander Taylor too. I know he's creepy to most people and he's definitely hiding something but I don't think he's wholly evil. I don't think the Sixers are wholly evil too, even if, judging by the first episode, we are led to believe that they're the bad guys because they've separated from everybody else on the colony. But it's early days yet so we shall wait and see.
dahlia_moon: (Shelter- ShaunxZach)
I've debated on whether or not to crosspost this here because I'm so embarrassed I even wrote this - but, really, I should be getting over the stage of wanting to hide under a rock every time I write a smutty piece of fanfiction. It's not hurting anybody and if you don't like the subject, you know not to click. So really. I have no idea what my problems are.

But, yay!! at least school hasn't zapped all my writing mojo.

your arms took me in | Bewitched/The Dick Van Dyke Show crossover, Samantha Stephens/Laura Petrie | R, warnings for consensual infidelity

Beautiful when you scream | Disney's Snow White & The Seven Dwarves, Snow White/Evil Queen | R, warnings for possibly dub-con themes and underage and maybe incest? (depends on how you look at it)

Burn [Persephone/Hades]

White Room [Persephone/Hades]

Harry Potter

Silence is Silver [Sirius/Remus]

♥ Whooooo!! Finished my [livejournal.com profile] pink_stargate entry! The Quest for True Luv (John/Rodney intentional badfic with intentional misspellings and with the caveat that it shouldn't be taken seriously because it was hurriedly written in one day and meant to be bad.)

Now if I could only finish at least one prompt I signed up for smallfandomfest, I'd totally love myself. I desperately wanted to finish all three prompts I picked to write for, but seeing as this round ends in eight days, I'm not holding out much hope. GOSH WHY SO FAIL SELF Ah well, at least I started it - that's half the battle.

♂ So Tumblr has been awesome for finding writing advice that rocks (among other awesome stuff that rocks)! A few links:
Nuts and Bolts: Thought Verbs by Chuck Palahniuk
Kurt Vonnegut's Rules for Writing Reprinted (very general but some pretty important points)
Chuck Palahniuk's 13 Writing Tips (again, more general advice but worth a read)
Writing every day...

Actually, I'd recommend just going through http://writingadvice.tumblr.com and their tags and trying to read everything posted there.

next up: totally finishing up memes awesome people gave me and some thoughts on shows I caught up with this past week and maybe some reviews of awesome comics/books read/to be read. This is what happens when I keep opening up this blog window to write in and keep writing in it for weeks and never hit the post button.

My brother seriously needs to learn anger management. Someone kept calling very early this morning and my brother, in a fit of ANGER and RAGE, ripped out the telephone and the Internet cords to stop the phone from ringing (since the Internet cords are in his room, and his own telephone extension), efffectively making us lose our Internet connection. (Why he didn't just pick up the phone, I'll never know. I mean, the ringing woke me up after I had trouble falling asleep last night too and I eventually picked up.)

Not to stereotype, but lemme tell ya, Serbian boys have the worst anger there is to be found on earth, and that is speaking from experience.

The one good thing is, I did manage to write a lot since I was disconnected and couldn't goof off. And I finally figured out how to start my [community profile] romcomorama story! (And am about a thousand words into it as of a half hour ago.) yay! I mean it's due in June and I had about three months to work on it and finish it by now, but ya know *shrug*...The plot of the story, I knew beforehand, but, man, it was just hard starting that first sentence, you know. I'm also rather undecided on how close I should keep to the movie version and how much I want to make my own and how to fit that into Psych's universe and characters. I think it's easier to make these choices once you're in that moment of writing, instead of deciding beforehand or making any kind of outlines. (And I've also found that the things I'm NOT keeping the same as in the movie/prompt Ella Enchanted are things I disliked the movie. I mean, there isn't much that I don't like about the movie, it's one of my favorite movies of all time, but I can't help wondering how things might've been different if they'd decided to go a different route in the movie.)

So there was that bright side.

And I finally brought Abandon by Meg Cabot yesterday, after being in town to pick up my new glasses (which have an awesome dark brown plastic frame now, whereas all my other old glasses before were very thin and had no plastic frames). I'm not very far into it, but man, it's making me realize why I love Meg Cabot so freaking much (and am enjoying it even if the reading is very easy).

But, still, arrghhh! my brother. I love him but sometimes, man, you just get this strong urge to grab him by the shoulders and knock some sense into him.

(Here's hoping that with age, he'll mellow out some...)
dahlia_moon: (Default)
Firstly: some rambly thoughts on the recent SV episode.

Read more... )

~*~

Secondly, I stumbled upon sign-ups for [community profile] romcomorama and signed-up - against my better judgment - to re-write "Ella Enchanted" in the Psych fandom. I guess I'm just nervous about it because I haven't exactly been in tip-top writing shape as of lately and I don't think I can write anything really long. (I've always known this though - that I don't write long epic stuff or am good at plot or action, am more of a character/dialogue sort of person, even going so far as to zone out even when there's action and fighting sequences in movies and tv. It's just not the kind of stuff that I'm into and why I don't watch a lot of action movies.) But the fest is really low-key and I love "Ella Enchanted" and it'll give me an excuse to re-watch it.

But, still, bah! A writing project! *kinda scared*

Yay! participating in my first Porn Battle! Hopefully these don't suck beyond everything. At any rate, I like them and after not writing for what feels like a month, I'll take it. I've also found it's really, really hard to write porn when you want to but not when you DON'T want to have any porn.

Here's a couple of fills I've written. (These will be properly cross posted to [livejournal.com profile] dahlia_moon/other places when I'm not running late to class.)

Beauty & the Beast
Beast/Belle, voyeur

Big Wolf on Campus
Merton/Tommy, claws, fangs, fur

Cardcaptor Sakura
Touya/Yukito, water

Shelter
Zach/Shaun, outdoors, beach
Zach/Shaun, nude

The Suite Life on Deck
Bailey/London, gag

will edit if/when I get to writing more - hopefully. :D
dahlia_moon: (slipper)
Writing is going good (I hope I didn't jinx it by saying it now thought). I have two different stories in my head I'm in the process of writing down so we shall see if anything comes of it. Still haven't finished my Big Wolf on Campus fic. I have no idea why this story doesn't want to get finished except maybe for the fact I'm not working on it as much as I should. But it has plot! and sex! And unfortunately I wrote all the porny, good stuff first and now don't want to go back and add in the plot. *hands* And I really like the plot too so I don't want to leave it and just have it be a sex piece because it really wouldn't make sense without all the stuff that happens prior to the good, porny bits.

The one good thing from me not finishing this story is me rereading all the other parts and editing as I'm reading. This process helps because once I finish this story, I am so not gonna want to look it again and the editing process will fall by the wayside.

~*~

I don't know if I've talked about this on here - I have over on Twitter - but am totally committed to getting a Nursing degree now (as opposed to before when I was just on the fence about it). The nursing school applications are due the 15th of this month and I've yet to start. Someone please just light a fire under me. This is my future here and I'm just dilly-dalling like I usually do.

But I totally have to have faith that I'll be a good Nursing student because this preemptive thinking that I'll fail before I even start is getting to be detrimental. That has always been my problem though - I'm not good at the positive thinking but I'm really trying to change in that respect. (Funny enough, it's my brother that keeps telling me to think positive - "the power of positive thinking" he calls it. Geez, you send him away to college for a year and a half and he comes back all mature and stuff. What is that about?)
dahlia_moon: (Aang & Katara - very please with themsel)
here's an interesting meme I stole from [livejournal.com profile] ssquirrel_fic.


What about fanfic in general makes you read it?

Oh, just expanding on the original source material - how so many people can approach a 'ship, character, plot, etc from so many different perspectives. I also like that with fanfic (and other general fannish pursuits) the story never has to end, even if the original source material had ended years and years ago.

I've been thinking about buying something for my computer because I'm rapidly running out of disk space and I need to do something.

Would a flash drive just work to store things on? I don't need to carry it around, which I gather is the purpose of a flash drive, but I really like how flash drives are so small, sleek, and awesome-looking.

I suppose what I really need is an external hard drive but those would be (more) expensive, wouldn't they?

Just, gah, this flash drive is so technologically attractive. But then so is this awesomely pretty black hard drive. Or maybe this one?
