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.
