OMG THERE WAS CAEK! Sometime this week, I'm doing a photo dump, where I will have Barrowsparkle kid photos and pics of her new boyfriend, Frosty the Inflatable Snowman, but for now, you all must deal with-
1.
alba17 is going to kill me, but I am afraid that I will have to drop
reel_tw. And that is because the thing, the ONE THING that was making the story suck because I couldn't think of it? The thing I have been saying was in the peripheral of my eye for three weeks? I got it last night at 10:30, and it is FUCKING BRILLIANT, AND FITS RIGHT INTO JAWS. But it will take about 5000k more words and some delicate haranguing BUT IT WILL BE AWESOME, and I will have it up by the end of the year.
2. Likewise, I am not feeling my Yuletide. I am at the point where I have to put out or I will suck. All of that sounds very unsexy. It's a hard fandom, and I feel like at this point, anything I'd submit would be made of suck. Mostly because it requires research, and a reread of source material that I am not in the mood for. Bah. Muthereffer.
3. Amand-r: I'M ALL OVER YOUR MEME LIKE WHITE ON RICE.
Arsenic: I have noticed
Amand-r: IT'S LIKE DOING BRAIN FANDOM SUDOKU. OR SOMETHING.
Arsenic: YOU ARE VERY GOOD AT IT
Amand-r: Which is funny because I suck at sudoku. HOW DO YOU EVEN SUDOKU?
Arsenic: Me too, man. Fuck if I know.
Amand-r: IS THAT A GOOD TAG LINE FOR SELLING SUDOKU? "HOW DO YOU SUDOKU?" NAKED SEXY LADY: I SUDOKU IN THE BATH. MMMMM." THEY'D SELL DOZENS OF SUDOKUS.
THEN SOMEONE IN JAPAN WOULD MAKE A VIBRATOR CALLED THE SUDOKU, AND YOU COULD DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.
IF YOU COULD EVER FIGURE OUT WHAT THE FIRST SUDOKU WAS.
Arsenic: I think sudoku does pretty well for itself, but yeah, that would be pretty hot.
Amand-r: "MMMM MY SUDOKU IS PINK AND HAS A TINY...DOLPHIN...KITTY...HEAD THING ON IT!"
Arsenic: I love dolphin kitties.
Amand-r: SEA KITTENS. I am convinced they are a delicacy in Japan.
Arsenic: They clearly are.
Amand-r: They probably taste like chicken.
Arsenic: of the SEA

Lloyd's trip though this clip pretty much details the way I feel about fandom on a monthly cycle.
5. Via perfica on IJ:
Rock on, little panda, rock on. 6. SANTA. GIVE ME ASSIGNMENT PLZ NAO.
7. Okay here's the thing. I sent cards to everyone who sent me an addy, or whose addy I had already, but if you want, you can PM me your addy, because they are fun and awesome. HOWEVER, if your name is
blue_fjords,
51stcenturyfox or
neifile7, then your card is still here on the table. *looks at watch* Meh. I have time.
8. A MEME: Gakkity gakked from
itcamefromjapan 1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of fifteen words or less (or whatever length damn well pleases you) for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.
1. Jack Harkness
2. Agent Dale Cooper
3. Methos
4. Hermione Granger
5. Mal Reynolds
6. Ianto Jones
7. Tony Soprano
8. Luke Skywalker
9. Cordelia Chase
10. Rogue
First Time: 4 and 6 Ianto and Hermione
"That was, well."
Ianto handed her the fag. "Yeah."
Hermione fidgeted in his arms. "I really do like your class notes. They're well organised."
Ianto licked her ear and told the truth.
Angst, 7 Tony Soprano.
The summer after the indictment, the ducks returned, and every one landing in the pool felt like a shot to the stomach.
AU, 1 and 8 Jack and Luke
Luke levitated the dome to the Excessive Pleasure Machine over the capsule, and from outside, Jack kissed the glass. "My turn next."
Threesome, 3, 6, and 9 Methos, Ianto, Cordelia
"Let's do coffee," Cordelia said to Ianto as she and Methos left the Tourist centre. A glance over her shoulder then, back at him. "Are you coming?"
Ianto smiled.
Hurt/Comfort, 5 and 10 Mal and Rogue
When she hurts, when the skin is painful from the treatments and what they did to "fix" her, all he can do is put on the gloves and rub the lotion into the rawness of her hands in slow circles, over and over, lips and eyes telling her that she's not a freak, that what they did to her, all that, it's bullshit.
Just one more thing to lay at the alliance's doorstep, really.
Crack, 1 Jack
It was the Best. Job. Evar. In years to come, he would look back on it in fondness, though he knew that he would never tell anyone. So he--
Horror, 10 Rogue
They'll go away, she thinks, they'll go away and everything will be all right.
The cleaver hit her wrist at an angle.
Baby!fic, 5 and 9 Mal and Cordelia
She's shifting in her sleep, with their daughter in between them, another barrier, no better or worse than the others. Just different.
Dark, 2 and 8 Dale and Luke
Luke parted the curtains with one hand and looked back at Cooper. "I've been here before."
Romance, 4 and 7 Hermione and Tony
"You bought me Morano glass."
"Well, yeah, nice girl like you, with those eyes, you need something to make 'em pop."
"Pop."
"Yeah. Look, it's not a big deal. It's just a token. If you don't want it-"
"No no, it's lovely. It's just. I've never…thank you."
"No, sweetheart, thank you."
Deathfic, 2 and 3 Dale and Methos
The moment Cooper saw the man fall, he paused, because he could feel that something interesting was going to happen soon. All he had to do was stand still and wait.
