chelonianmobile	12:42a	(x-posted to customers_suck, thought people here might like to see it: I used to work in a cinema. Wasn't so bad except for the usual run of problem customers one gets in places like that; the people who left their courtesy at the door, and the people who apparently couldn't be bothered to read their ticket and just wandered vaguely in the direction of the nearest screen, the ones who combined the two and argued with me when I tried to point them in the right direction ... ( Since I don't work there anymore, I'm free to bitch. ) (Comment on this)

twelve_pastels	2:57p	More fandom wedding tidings. I'll admit, some little part of me found it more easy to accept when I heard that Jared and Genevive were engaged. I had this cute little fantasy wherein Jared and Jensen and their families all lived together in this huge house, and their kids play with each other, and someone gets in trouble at school for saying they have two mommies and two daddies and social services comes, except the person they send is Chad (why does Chad always turn up?), who says that the home situation is perfectly healthy and they should all quit their bitchin'. Then my Mother wanders in and I tell her the news. Her response? "Good cover, isn't that cute. They can each have their own room. Jensen and Jared get one room, and the girls can have the other." I swear to God, her tin hat is bigger than mine, and she isn't even really into this show. And yes, I have incorporated the new engagement into the epic crack!fic I'm writing. Oy. I have no life.

chelonianmobile	5:58p	It's probably very wrong that I totally wish I could work at the SCP Foundation. There probably is a real-life counterpart of some type, if a far less surreal and violent one which is probably just involved in covering up Government fuckups, but how the hell does one apply there?

elvenpiratelady	10:29p	Thankyou guys for all of your birthday wishes! I'm going away for geology fun and games for a week, see you on the 22nd! Hopefully the yuletide letters will have gone out by then, and you can watch me flail all over the internet. Have fun everyone! I would say more but we are leaving at 7 tomorrow morning, and I should have been asleep half an hour ago... (2 Comments |Comment on this)
animorphs [ buffyangellvr23 ]	12:12a	KAA up for award Here in Illinois we have a yearly book award called the Caudill award (Rebecca Caudill was apparently an author from this state). Anyway, one of the 2010 nominees is KAA's book Home of the Brave. I saw it won a couple other awards too. http://www.rcyrba.org/2010Resources.htm#a10 (4 Comments |Comment on this)

elvenpiratelady	11:12p	yuletide letter To my yuletide writer, Firstly, thankyou in advance for writing a fic for me! This is my first year doing yuletide and I hope I'm doing everything right, having read the FAQs and submitted my form twice today. The General Stuff Here is my LJ for your researching pleasure, my fics have their own tag, if you're interested. http://www.fanfiction.net/~enelya is my old fanfiction.net account, I put it on the form because I have a lot of my favourite fics linked there, if you wanted to know what sort of style I like (in short... varied. Not very helpful, sorry.) I'd like gen but het or slash is fine too. I like humour fics but serious is fine too. Essentially, what it says on the tin - I will read slash or het, but I really have a soft spot for gen because it doesn't get nearly as much attention as the first two. I like fics about friends or siblings. When I read slash or het I want to focus on the romance and interaction between the characters, sex scenes I can take or leave, to be honest. I love humour when it's sly wit or sarcasm, rather than slapstick. I'm not a big fan of unremitting angst and darkness, but I love a story with a twist ending, or one that is bittersweet. I want characters to earn their happy endings. Crackfics are fine. AUs are fine and fun (I wrote part of the Silmarillion if all the characters were zombies, I can't talk). More than anything, I like reading about minor characters and about the 'bits in between' of fandoms - I love it if a fic can fill a gap in my fanon. Please no: really explicit sex (if it's rated M and below it will be fine but I'd rather concentrate on the romance, if that's what you're writing) rape, non-con, or shota. This comes in with my preference for genfic - I like a good, hot sex scene, but I'll happily read a fic without it. I don't want to read about characters doing anything sexual that would get them arrested in the real world, as listed above. (Good) sex is good, but it's not everything. Characters: Any I set all of my fandoms to this because within those fandoms, I would happily read about any of those characters. What I put in the request boxes are just suggestions for things I've wondered about, but if you're more comfortable writing about a completely different character, I'll be happy to read about them too. Fandom #1 - Mythology - Greek and Roman What I'd like to see: Prometheus! He did so much for humanity (fire, for example) and did not end very happily as a result. You could write about what made him bring fire to humans, and if he regrets it when he's stuck on that mountain having his liver eaten every morning. Medea is fascinating, not always good but not quite evil either, I'd love to hear more about her. Hera generally gets a bad time in Greek myths, perhaps you could tell her side of the story? Poor Prometheus, too clever by half to fit into the world as ruled by Zeus. I'd love to hear what he thought about humans when they were first created, and what made him give them fire (pity? Curiousity? Mischief-making?). Maybe he looks at us now and regrets it... I've loved Medea since I had to read Medea by Euripides at school - yes, she did some horrible things, but I don't see her as an inherently evil person. She grabs life with both hands and gets what she wants out of it, or if she doesn't she tries at least (which is more than I can say for a lot of Greek heroines). Medea ends up being exiled from her home, left by her husband, her children dead by her own hand and she's branded a witch and a villainess by most of Greece - and I would love to get inside her head, in any stage of her life. She's amazing. (For the record, I think Jason is an ass. Just so you know.) Hera is towards the bottom of the list of my favourite characters in Greek mythology, since she's quite the jealous woman - but of course, it's not her fault that her husband will have sex with anything that moves. I'd like to find out what made her start punishing the equally-blameless mortal women that Zeus sleeps with. Did she want to protect her own children's birthrights, or did she want to make Zeus jealous? (not that it worked...) Anything that throws a little more light on Hera would be good. Fandom #2 - J R R Tolkien - The Silmarillion and other history of Middle Earth First I loved the Lord of the Rings movies, then I loved the books, then I found out there was a whole other set of books about the backstory! And I love The Silmarillion for not only being a backstory for LOTR, but for being a beautiful, tragic set of stories in its own right. No immediate-family incest unless you're writing Turin/Nienor, which is canon anyway (I don't have a problem with cousin-cousin incest in this fandom). I worded this rather oddly, by 'immediate-family incest' I mean between siblings or between parents and children. Turin/Nienor is the only case of sibling incest in the Silm canon, but they didn't know it at the time and things ended very badly for both of them. I have no issues with cousin incest in this fandom, since Maedhros/Fingon is one of the main OTPs. What I'd like to read: I'd love to see any of the Sindar characters going about their lives in Doriath - Beleg, Nellas, Mablung, Nimloth, Dior, Melian, Thingol. Or the Feanorians causing havoc and mayhem, as they normally do. Or a story about Numenor and its Downfall. In the Silm fandom, everyone loves the Noldor - and I do too, but I love the Sindar as well and I want them to get their time in the Sun. The Sindar did, after all, live in Beleriand while it was still only lit by stars, and they were the first to fight against orcs and other of Morgoth's monsters. I'd like to see how Sindar characters react to change - whether it's meeting the first monsters, or meeting the Noldor as they return to Middle-earth. I like the Feanorians because I find them so much fun to write - despite their best efforts, things never end well. This can be comic or tragic, but I love the tension and impending doom that overshadows everything they do. If only they could let go of those Silmarils... Numenor is a story of how humans make their own fate, and how that's not always a good thing. I would love to see some political intrigue and morality that comes in shades of grey. What I'd love to see here is conflict, whether it's between two political factions or within the hearts of Numenoreans. Fandom #3 - The Incredibles The Incredibles is an awesome movie in its own right, but it also pokes a lot at the superhero genre (and in a lot more upbeat fashion than Watchmen, I must say). I love it because it shows that superpowers more often lead to superproblems that supersolutions, and that supers are complex and flawed like everyone else. Also, it has a killer soundtrack. I'd love to know more about Mirage - what's her superpower, how did she end up working for/with Syndrome? Or on the other side of things, what happens to her after the end of the film? Does she start working with the Incredibles, or with the government? Does she keep going on with Syndrome's work, or does she strike out on her own? Or you could write about the other supers that had to go undercover. how did they cope? What do they think about the Incredibles going public again? Or you could write about the Incredibles and how they cope with growing up and fighting crime together, or if they split into parents and kids teams. Mirage is someone that intrigued me but we never found out much about her in canon - I don't think her superpower was even mentioned, nor her reasons for joining Syndrome or what she thought about supers in general. She was treated like a classic villain henchwoman who redeems herself in the end, but I can't help thinking that there was more to her than met the eye... anyway, anything that gives her more detail would be excellent. Apart from the Incredibles, the only other super that has a major role in the film is Frozone, but we know there were tens or hundreds of supers being superheroic and such before they had to go undercover. I'd love to know how they adapted to their new lives (or didn't), if they too secretly fight crime, what they thought of the Incredibles going public and how they'd react if offered the chance to be a superhero again. Syndrome also killed a lot of supers testing his robot before he got to Mr Incredible - maybe their stories are like his, or maybe completely different... Given the sort of life the Incredibles lead before they went public as superheroes, living in a household with three children who are rapidly growing up and fighting crime would lead to all kinds of mishaps... also, we didn't see much of Jack-jack but I'd love to see him teaming up with his brother and sister. ---------- I hope this helps, oh yuletide writer, and if you get stuck with these prompts please remember that I really will read a fic with any of those characters in it. Most importantly, please enjoy yourself while writing, it's what we're all doing it for! See you on the 1st of January, 2010... (Comment on this)

twelve_pastels	11:07p	If you want something done right... You know that fic idea I was talking about? The one about Danneel and Jensen and so forth? So, yeah, snippet below. ( Wherein Jensen hates his father, his life, and everything Scottish. ) Also, does anyone remember Misha's wife's name? Is it Virginia, or Victoria, or something else that begins with V?

misscam	5:59p	When you describe yourself as 'anti-consent', you've pretty much failed squared A group of past and present University of Sydney students set up a ''pro-rape'' page in the sports and recreation section on Facebook, describing themselves as ''anti-consent''. Anti-consent. Because that's so much better than pro-rape, naturally. The list of allegations is pretty sickening as well, but hardly surprising if this is the sort of place to spawn a Facebook group like that. The fail is astounding. I'm not sure if I feel more angry or sick. It's probably a tie. UGH. Current Mood: enraged (16 Comments |Comment on this)
twelve_pastels	11:12a	WTF, brain. Okay, I admit it, I am a sad sad bastard and an itty bitty tiny SHAMEFUL part of my brain was all like "nooooooooo!" when I heard that Danneel and Jensen were engaged because now fandom won't get their three adopted babies and happily-homo-ever-after-in-Vancouver gratification. What? I did say I was sad and pathetic... However, after going and seeing the pictures from the Breeder's Cup, all I can think of is how pretty their kids are going to be, and how badly Uncle Jared is going to spoil them, and how Danneel is the foxiest thing to ever fox around in a red trench, and how they look happy, really very happy together. So, congratulations to Jensen and Danneel! And, fandom, I now want to see the gen!fic where Jensen spends, like, six months trying to get up the balls to ask Danneel, and how she's all afraid he'll never ask, and where Jared and Chad (in all their ridiculous glory) mastermind this enormous convoluted plot to get them together. Extra points for the following: someone sending Danneel J2 fic, boombox serenades, Chad reciting Shakespeare and editorializing as he goes along, mathematic genius!Jared, and as much of the cast as possible in drag. I did say I was sad, didn't I? (God, if nobody writes this thing, I might have to.) Current Mood: ditzy (14 Comments |Comment on this)

animorphs [ buffyangellvr23 ]	11:37p	Series Re-Read: The Departure Cassie's had it. After the last mission, she realizes she's getting tired of missions. Tired of battles. Tired of being an Animorph. She decides that she just can't do it anymore. So she quits. But that's not the worst that's happened. It seems a human-controller named Karen followed Kassie after the last run-in with the Yeerks. And she knows Cassie is an Andalite-or human. Either way, if she exposes Cassie, it's all over.  No more Cassie. No more Animorphs. And no more Earth... I can see how long the talk on this book is gonna be lol. Ther'e'll be a lot of speaking out about Cassie and her actions, but there is also one good thing about this book. I do like how KAA plunges us into shades of gray and shows us the Yeerk's POV. She lets us actually feel a bit of empathy for them. I still think it would have been interesting if Aftran had stayed inside Cassie for a while but I can see why it was dangerous too. I think they should've made her a human nothlit with that frolis thingy, but then I'm getting a little ahead of myself. That's not until The Sickness. (54 Comments |Comment on this)

animorphs [ charreed ]	2:28p	Moar comic! It's true, I've been updating everyday as planned!  Hopefully you guys have been checking out the site ;) The latest comic was from yesterday (I always seem to update at the last minute before bed): A special, less sketchy version than normal.  Still working out character designs as I go, hopefully they will kind of evolve on their own.  I may be coming up to enough panels now to warrant a whole page :) Make sure to keep checking the main comic page or subscribe to the RSS feed on the site for instant updates as they happen!  Also, I will resurrect my Twitter feed: AnimorphsComic  I'll probably only update the LJ once a week.  Maybe I should start my own Animorphs Graphic Novel LJ community?  Update that one with every update, that way you guys can subscribe to that one?  Whatcha think? Thanks for looking! As always! (6 Comments |Comment on this)
animorphs [ redsilverchains ]	1:38p	Animorphs/Roswell Crossover: "Those Who Favor Fire"(Rachel, Michael) Title: Those Who Favor Fire Author: redsilverchains Fandoms: Animorphs, Roswell Rating: PG-13 Pairings: mentions of Rachel/Tobias and Michael/Maria Characters: Rachel Berenson, Michael Guerin Note: I was in the middle of a Roswell marathon, watching Michael be his reckless, volatile self, when I found myself thinking “He reminds me of someone! Who does he remind me of?” Then I got to the episode where he disastrously tries to usurp Max as leader, and I thought, “That’s just like what Rachel did in…oh, waaait a sec…” And thus, a crossover was born. (He looks at her, suspicion flushing his face; and she wars with the possibility of Controllers and Vissers and spies) (3 Comments |Comment on this)

chelonianmobile	8:01p	It occurs to me to wonder whether I'm the only woman in the world who finds vampires an active turnoff. Okay, the tall-dark-'n'-handsome routine, the supernatural powers, the never-getting-old, all that's awesome, but it's sorta cancelled out by the fact that vampires are, by definition, DEAD PEOPLE.

animorphs [ kon_no_yume ]	10:46a	T-Shirt So, I made this last year (when I had access to screen printing supplies) and I just kept forgetting to take a picture of it and post it! All the fanart finally reminded me. I thought you all might get a kick out of it. Sadly, not many people get it when I wear it about, but I'm hopeful that one day, some random stranger will get the joke and we'll have a nerdy nostalgic moment of joy.

misscam	3:31p	First snow, missed BSG wank(?), Christmas wishlist and Africa's possible new sea First snowfall this week. You can also see here. I like the snow, at least compared to wind and rain. Truly winter now, Norway. Get out your mittens and reflectors. Did I miss wank in the BSG fandom? Because that secret and the comments make me think so (well, coupled with some deleted journals I've spotted). If you haven't already, you can leave your address for Christmas stuff here. My address can be found here (if you're on my flist, at least). ( My Christmas wish lists ) Or just something you think I would want ;) Finally, Africa might be getting a new sea. Huh. Curious. Our world really is a world that keeps change, tectonically and otherwise. Now I have weekend, marzipan and a new DVD with Marple stories. What's your weekend treat to yourself?

animorphs [ mmmels ]	8:19p	More fanart? Haha maybe it seems like an overload of art in one day (yay for charreed's ammmmazing graphic novel) but I thought I'd post my FIRST EVER OFFICIAL ANIMORPHS FANART for you guys. If it weren't for you all welcoming me into your community, I don't think I would have had the mojo to do this... so thank you! I'm mad inspired to start sketching again and I spent many hours fussing around with curves in photoshop instead of working. But hey, I'm not complaining.   ( I’m not even average height for my age, although I make up for it by being cute, very cute. And charming. And witty. And modest. ) Current Mood: busy (60 Comments |Comment on this)
