Oops. This post is meant to be fic. On account of, you know, it being post 250. Instead, let's have a fic comment party! Yay! Because of course Cobalt can't get her arse in gear to actually write full length fics at the moment.

So, prompt away. Fic away, even! See a prompt and like it - write a response to it! (And I faithfully promise I'll write ( Read more... )

I... just had a mental image of Sinn asleep with a post-it note taped to his forehead, with the words Marry Me written on it in Mars's handwriting.

Sometimes my brain does odd things all by itself.

My computer appears to be dying. Dyiiiiing! And I have nothing to back anything up on because my external hard drive has chosen THIS MOMENT to abandon its mortal life and move on to a better place. So, Flist, if anyone has run across something similar (your screen starts shimmering really badly as though it's suffering with heat haze and jelly legs ( Read more... )

BBC's 'Ancient Worlds' you lied to me. Last night I settled down for what promised to be an hour long programme on Alexander the Great and within twenty minutes you had gone through his entire history (badly, I might add) and moved on to his successors.

Never mind the fact a secret is meant to be, you know, a secret and not something to share with the class.Mine, which wasn ( Read more... )

This rant brought to you today following the news that 53% of people in the UK feel Humanities-based subjects are a waste of time. This rant is not happy. It is opinionated, unashamedly biased and sometimes has swearing. You have been warned ( Read more... )

Back from Cyprus (wreck diving was awesome, and there was even an Achilles wreck that I had to check out because, you know, Classics geek). Once again the M25 proved it is truly a creation of evil. Flying time from Cyprus to London Heathrow = 4hrs 30 mins. Driving time from London Heathrow to home = 5hrs 12 mins. Why does a one hour journey take so ( Read more... )

Soooo... The Road to Moonstone hasn't been updated since 2008 and this morning I woke up to Kitz kicking me squarely between the eyes the way Val wakes up every morning I'd imagine and telling me to write. Huh, no clue what brought that on. Oh well, more Moonstone it is then.

I really need to find myself a Moonstone-appropriate icon.

This came from listening to a radio drama today where the Alexander/Hephaistion love was SO OTT. I mean when I hear lines like 'Oh, Phai, hold me', even I die a little inside.
