You really wanted that ukulele, didn't you?

Yes. yes, I did.

Despite the fact that all those gifs just exploded my computer...

I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED RN.

Offspring be cute, bb. WANT TO DOWNLOAD NAO. BUT MY INTERNET FAILS. I both hate and love you. But mostly love. <3 ^^

boomwizard June 7 2010, 19:51:45 UTC

LOL, next time sneak in before the gifs.

Your internet makes me sad. But fear not, I have two or three more mixes still in the works to kill your internet with. Also the mood themes and a video. Maybe some wallpapers. And some icons. Also fic.

WHAT, WHO SAID THAT? GET DISTRACTED BY MY ICON AND THE DIRTY THOUGHTS IT STIRS UP IN YOUR HEAD AND FORGET I EVER SAID ANYTHING.

redlance_ck June 10 2010, 18:14:02 UTC

I TRIED. The gifs went all ninja on my ass and were suddenly just... THERE. Bitchslapping my computer from all angles.

OMGGGGGGG.... mood themes... wallpapers... icons.... motherfuckingFIC?!?!?! SAY WANT?! WANT. WANT. WANT. NOW.

I was very distracted by your icon though. =B

boomwizard June 10 2010, 18:23:47 UTC

IN THE WORKS. I will get that fucking Glopular crossover finished if it kills me. As of now all I have is like...19 pages/3000 words of dialogue. It's going to be a series - with an actual linear timeline. I have it plotted out to ten chapters, with titles and everything. Hence the fail.

Also, glee!cats. And some random Rachel/Quinn plot bunnies I had that I will probably never write, because I fail.

FAAAAAIL.

Also, omg, 'That Kind of Love'. I don't know whether to bawl or attempt to reminisce happily. IS BITTER SWEET.

boomwizard June 7 2010, 19:47:46 UTC

I wasn't liking the music until it was all OH HAI, WILLOW/TARA REUNITED, and I was like "ILOVETHISSONGFOREVER".

redlance_ck June 10 2010, 18:16:03 UTC

IKR? Everytime i hear it i'm sent back to a really awesome, fluffy happy place where i quote Tara's speech in my head.

And then usually, i'm reminded how it ended and want to shoot myself in the face. But until then, it's really good.

boomwizard June 10 2010, 18:26:22 UTC

I have a knack for ignoring canon. Most of season 6 never happened, and ALL of season 7 never happened. I refuse to watch it for fear of setting my laptop on fire- same reason I can't watch Popular.

AND WTF IS THIS ABOUT MS KITTY FANTASTICO BEING DEAD. WHAT. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN. FAIL, SHOW, FAIL. YOU CAN'T KILL THE LESBIANS AND THEIR CAT.

Ooooh, I need to make me some W/T icons. As of now this is the only Buffy icon I have. BUT YOU DESERVE A BIG HUG, SO HERE.

I am behind this 100% - the music, the universe, the pairing, any future fic for these two...whatever.

Thanks for the mix - not really the usual music I listen to, but it fits the pairing and I like being exposed to new bands/songs. Just took a quick skim through the mix and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Who are the two you cast as Mac and Drizzle? I don't recognize either of them - although Mac looks like a mix of Mandy Musgrave and Anna Paquin.

I've never written fic before and now I want to for this little world you've created, just so there is something out there. However, if an author with actual talent and skill wanted to do it, that would be even better.

I love all of your cracked out pairings/crossovers (and convos detailing their creations), but this...this one probably has to be my favorite so far.

boomwizard June 9 2010, 05:44:33 UTC

Mac is Christa B. Allen and Drizzle is Caitlin Wachs. I try to go out of my way to not cast mainstream people as well as people who actually look the part.

This is not really my genre of music either, I just discovered I had far more of it than I actually realised. I'm much more of an instrumental and electronica girl.

If I had half the talent needed I'd write it myself but as it is I'm struggling to get my supernatural Popular/Glee crossover fic series off the ground. I told myself one day I'd write Sara/Naomi fic (and my 3 other favourite crack/crossovers) as well as this Macbeth stuff, I just have to fight tooth and nail with my muse the entire time.

zep1980 June 9 2010, 06:14:19 UTC

cool - no idea who they are, but they definitely "look the part". reminds me of Conan's If They Mated bits.

I'm mainly into classic/heavy rock, but there is a wide variety of genres that I listen to occasionally. This mix seems well thought-out and fits how I could see MacBeth progressing (from your explanation/creation.)

EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS PAIRING!!!! The one thing this pairing brought to mind was garden's fic White Flag, just because in it Mac is a teenager - which you hardly ever see.

boomwizard June 9 2010, 06:22:05 UTC

As I've said, I'm crazy anal about people looking the part. Sometimes, in cases like these, I luck out and find just the kind of people I'm looking for.

I'm a sucker for baby!Mac myself (really just baby!fic in general- it's why I love Sam/Brooke and Rachel/Quinn so much. Because they have babies in canon so you don't have to make them up. Unless of course you're me, then you get my 'My Two Sons' Bram verse anyway.) and Brooke and Sam being all motherly.

tamaraface June 13 2010, 09:42:06 UTC

THREE THINGS:

Not sure how I got here; I have a tendency to bounce through friend's flists and end up in strange places, but we have a few mutual friends and I am a member of rachel_quinn, so it's not that great a stretch, I guess. Just saying because stalkers are creepy and I'm stalking a bit right now. MOVING ON.
It pains me greatly that I can't/don't know how to open .rar files on my Mac because, while I can hunt down these songs individually, I would love to see the conversation that spawned this.
IN LOVE WITH THIS PAIRING, WHAT. Never mind that Popular was my jam back in the day or that Glee is my current obsession, I ship obscure and/or crossover pairings like burning and I cannot textually render my love for these characters that I don't know/don't really exist. ALSO, ALSO I'VE HAD A CRUSH ON CAITLIN WACHS SINCE "MY DOG SKIP," THANK YOU.

Possibly, I am going to follow your example/blatantly co-opt your idea and make a mix for this pairing, too. If that's okay and not creepy.

boomwizard June 13 2010, 09:52:22 UTC

I did a little googling. Apparently if you're using a Mac you 'Just select the files/folders you want to zip and then right click or control+click and choose compress items.' but since I have a PC I have absolutely no idea if that would work for you.

Bouncing sounds like fun. I've done the same thing with communities but never personal journals. And I'm totally down with stalking.

I hate the feeling that I get when I make up a new crazy crossover pairing (I did it so much with different characters Carly Pope and Leslie Bibb played, and then I was so sad because none of them were real fandoms but they were so crazy compatible) because nobody else knows or cares and I ship it so hard.

And I'm totally having a freak out moment right now remembering tiny Frankie Muniz.

LOL, PIMP THE SHIP OUT EVERYWHERE. I don't have a whole lot of people on my flist, so. The more people that know about it, the better I suppose.

tamaraface June 13 2010, 19:21:36 UTC

I'll try it, thanks!

AWESOME, I'VE ALREADY STARTED.
