Jumping on the growing bandwagon I joined 'Archive of our own' and have been uploading my fics (my 'works' are here for anyone interested). I think I like the layout and tagging and so forth. It just looks better than ff.net (though I'll continue using that too).

All shiny and prettty and new.... Yay

I think I have done this, or something very similar to it before but because I'm a geek and love doing these things:


Comment with a character, pairing or fandom and I'll give you three facts that are my personal canon, then post this in your journal so I can do the same.

Stolen from [profile] aeron_lanart
I seem to be going through an anime fandoms obsession stage at the moment, I blame the fact I have a deadline for a HL fic coming up. It's likee my brain hears 'commitment' and 'deadline' and immediately runs off in the opposite direction, trying to distract me with different "pretty shiny things". This weekend I have been through a host of Bleach recs and then a batch of Hikaru No Go fics I haven't read in years, and now I'm thinking 'hmmm.... ouran'.

Anytime I start to think about highlander or gundam wing (the two fandoms I'm supposed ot be writing thiings for) new unrelated plot bunnies spring up or I have the sudden uncontrollable urge to go and find old fics in other fandoms. *Bangs head against the wall a couple of times*. I shall finish this fic, stop tormenting me with distractions. I will. I'm just going to finish reading this fic first.....

I've been watching 07-ghost, I can't make up my  mind whether I like it or not.... the set up and some of the episodes are great and then others I'm pretty much who? what? huh? Oh I dozed off and missed half of it oh well.

I knew I recognised Frau's voice too, and it was buggin me like anything feel much happier now I've looked him up. He's been in several animes I like but specifically he was Atobe Keigo, I knew I recognised that tone. This has made my inner fangirl happy and I have decided I do like the series now. Should be able to finish the series off tomorrow then I'll go back to mourning Bleach until the next episode is released. Yay Hitsugaya-Hyoinmarou centric episode next.

In the meantime I really must get on with writing my Caspian fic for [livejournal.com profile] hl_flashfic the deadline is not that distant, in theory I should be able to write the whole thing in one sitting, being quite short but it isn't cooperating yet.

I have been rediscovering different anime fandoms I haven't read in a while and it got me thinking about my (slightly obsessive) pairing choices, I have come to realise I don't much mind about the main pairs it's the 'canon' pairings of the other characters I am totally inflexible about. So just because otherwise I'll be thinking about it all day I thought I'd post and ramble on about it.
In which I talk about pairings and prove that I am both overly demanding and completely soppy )



I am alternating rewatching ouran high school host club and highlander episodes.
They form quite a surreal mix, it is giving me crack!fic bunnies..... backs away from the keyboard slowly, making no sudden movements.

Some crossovers are just not a good idea.

Well I'm now up to date with burn notice... really enjoyed it, would recommend it to anyone who hasn't caught  it yet. I also finally finshed watching the first season of the Mentalist just in time for the second series to start at the end of next month ^_^, (if the internet cam be believed).

I need a new bit of TV to watch --- any suggestions. I'm really behind on Bleach I haven't watched it in months --- yay I will have a Bleach marathon, I need some US type drama series too to keep me occupied as well.

I am reading or rather re-reading 'A Game of Thrones' by George R.R. Martin, can't figure out why I never continued with the series, so far I'm really enjoying it.

Second part of my answers for the fannish five:

Darthanne asked for:

Five things that Trowa has said to Quatre )


last but not least aeron_lanart asked me for:

Five characters you would lie to see written with Methos )

I love doing these little meme's and lists and so forth. Right am going to try and get some fic writing done.

Yesterday a twitter from Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself) led me to this site

Look is songs about sci-fi and fantasy books and tv series and fandom in general ;0). I'm not much of a music critic (In fact I really don't have any opinions on most music ever) but the lyrics and the premise cracked me up and they sure are catchy.

Anyone who reads Neil Gaiman's blog may enjoy his latest song about the ever so cool "George R.R. Martin is not your bitch" post. The cylon one is pretty cool for the BSG fans and Summer Glau for the firefly fans and..... Um yes I'll shut up now *goes back to her cave to do something cool and non geeky, like err.... something--- I can do normal people things too.*

Well I got a few requests for the fannish five meme here are the first three.

So[livejournal.com profile] dejla  asked me for:

Five things I never want to see in a highlander story again )

[livejournal.com profile] sharona1x2  asked for

Top five fictional Universes that would be better with Heero and Duo in them: )

[personal profile] lil_1337  asked for:

five presents Methos gave to people )

More to come next time

I am of course late to the party but thought I'd try out this meme too:

Ask me my fannish Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post.

Stolen from, well pretty much all of the HL half of my flist.

Right am off to do something productive hmmm..... I think HL  fic number 2 for a bit, the one with no ending.

Am on the train down to London. I have on interview on Friday so am going to stay with the family this week as well as I'll be in the area. internet connection will be at best unreliable for most of it. So if I don't reply to a crucial post it may not be because I am rude and forgetful but because I can't get online. Happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] strangevisitor7 and [personal profile] lil_1337 in advance.

On the plus side if I get any free time I'll probably use it to write rather than surf for fics and so forth. Optimisitically this may be an opportunity to get some progress on some of my fics. Even more optimistically this could mean I get offered a job and can therefore afford both rent and food (a shocking indulgence). I'm not holding my breath though, am feeling very rusty (it's been months since I've worked on the techiniques they want me for, have been 'revising' of course we shall see). I want a job..... just have to wait to see if I want this one, I  never make up my mind before I see the place.

Have been working my way through 'Burn Notice' these last couple of days (am now half way through season 2, being unemployed does have one advantage) it's really great am trying to work out why I've never seen it before. The crossover bunnies have been multiplying at an alarming rate, I want to read some too but I'm restraining myself till I'm up to date so I can avoid spoilers.

As pinched from lil to distract me from unpacking, which is about hallf done, she says optimistically.

Meme time! You can go with any body of work you know I'm familiar with, even if it's not an active fandom anymore.

Comment with a character or fandom and I'll give you three facts that are my personal canon, then post this in your journal so I can do the same.


Body of work meaning series, movie, book, manga ect...

Yikes I'm going to be busy this month. I'm moving, again. Which I hate, I'm starting on the packing in the hope it won't be too rushed at the end. I really hate doing all the paperwork and cleaning and trying to get the bills sorted. It will be nice to be in a nice new house, I think I'll miss this one though. I'm still trying to find the third person for our house too, *stress*.

In LJ land I'm doing the highlander [livejournal.com profile] crack_van and signed up for another round with [livejournal.com profile] ficfinishing to finish off some of my highlander fics (anyone wiith unfinished fanfics should pop over and see if any of their fandoms are part of it. I got soo much done last month). Then I want to do the [livejournal.com profile] fixchange challenge too. Busy busy busy. No one come up with any fun ideas or absorbing fics until next month ^_^.

I should have a fic update ready this week, I hope.

I'm doing the highlander [community profile] crack_van  recs for this month, it seemed an excellent excuse to run around reading fics again. I've never done it before so it should be fun... wonder if I'm supposed to ask authors before reccing or just get on with it.

Spent this afternoon at a sort of question and answers session with Phillip Pullman which was interesting. Apparently he writes without plans and only vague ideas about what's going to happen beyond the scene he's actually writing, that's how I write too, with slightly different quality of results :-).

I've been having fun this month, I joined [profile] ficfinishing  to help me write a charmed/SPN crossover I've been playing with for ages. Not that I actually finished it, yet, because I'm crap but I got loads done.

Even better they've added highlander to their list of fandoms this month (if anyone has any projects they're working on and want help or want to read other peoples fics you might want to go have a look). I've got a couple of highlander fics I keep adding too but haven't really progressed much that I think I'm going to use as a goal, for June.

In other news... my GW fics umm yes I haven't forgotten them I just haven't done anything about them for awhile will get another chapter out ... soon (really). Wow I'm going to busy on LJ this month
