Freshly-shaved legs + warm day + swishy skirt (I am a sucker for the swishy skirt) = love.

helpthesouth is running a variety of auctions to help the southeastern USA after the huge storms last week.  This hits a bit close to home (as in there were homes destroyed in the town where my parents live, though none of anybody that I actually know). :\ So my offer is here - like with help_nz, top three offers get at least a drabble-sized ficlet from one of my ( Read more... )

Am currently reading a book on linguistics (what?  I know I'm a nerd), and at one point it talks about the English word 'do' being a 'dummy auxiliary' - basically a word that has no real meaning but is used to form questions and so on.  The example it gives just so happens to be Do you love dogs?  And now I'm greatly amused, because I am twelve.

Getting kind of tired of this layout.  Well, I've had it a while.   Might be time for a change.

Been considering going through and editing my fic posts to make them look nicer.  They're kind of every which way right now and I'm in the mood where sloppiness makes me itch.

Let the most recent fma_fic_contest  deadline slip by. :/ I was writing for it, but my fic was ( Read more... )

help_nz  is running a lightning round to raise money fast for New Zealand (specifically Christchurch) in the wake of their devastating earthquake.  I've got an auction running here - first three commenters get a ficlet (100 words or more) in one of my fandoms, prompt of their choice.

Just moved into a (newer) apartment and my only class for tomorrow was cancelled.

Time to go work on that fma_fic_contest  entry.

Sorry I haven't been posting much - I've been writing (whee!) but nothing that I feel is post-worthy yet (boo!).  Being your own beta is difficult sometimes!  Plus RL has been extra-crazy - in the past two months I've gotten a new apartment and a new job several hours away from my old place, and it takes time to settle in.  Which includes finding ( Read more... )

So after disappearing off the face of LJ for exactly two months (seriously, what are the odds?), I pop back in and decide to claim Ed/Winry for 1sentence?  Followed by a frantic two hours of writing and another hour of beta-ing all 50 sentences in preparation for (possibly) getting my claim accepted?  Honestly, what is wrong with me (she asked rhetorically ( Read more... )

Nothing much to say - the real world has been highly stressful of late, and of course that impacts my fandom-time.  The muse has also been visiting greener pastures, so to speak, which means I've been doing a lot of editing and net-surfing and not very much writing, but perhaps there'll be something post-worthy sometime soon.

In other news, I put up ( Read more... )

So!  Valentine's Day will soon be upon us.  While you may have noticed that I normally shy away from writing romance (not due to an aversion for it - in fact, I love fluffy, schmoopy, lovey-dovey stuff!  Just look at the icon for proof! - but more because I, er, suck at it.  Like, a lot), I think that Spirit Tracks has fried my brain.  I seriously ( Read more... )
