"Christ! A rhinoceros!"
That title is yet another favorite from the drop-down menu of past titles because I am yet again lost for titles because I have YET AGAIN failed to post in this journal for...two weeks, I think.
Hi guys. :Db
A flipton of stuff has happened in that time, so I'll probably be brief and have short paragraphs and bullet points, because why not.
For starters, I'm going to WonderCon on April 1st up in San Francisco, so if you're up there, I'd be more than happy to meet you there and have awesome times. :Db
I'm officially being hired full-time to my job on March 28th. I've got Things To Do Before Then, but that list is getting smaller and I'm actually really excited for this. Good times? I think so.
Work got me a bonus. I am now the proud owner of a Barbados Brighton handbag - or at least, I will be once my order comes in. I absolutely love this bag and I am stoked and a half to finally own one.
Gallifrey was two weekends ago! I love Gally so bloody much. It was amazing. My little came all weekend and uk_not_ok joined us for Saturday and Sunday. I broke a record for ribbons, got ogled multiple times (hello, midriff top at convention), dressed as a pirate and dealt poker for the Friday night Rum Party - which ended in a Who Can Stick What Down Kia's Bust contest, which was interesting - and then proceeded to use my winnings to buy Captain Jack Harkness. Yes, that's correct. I also met a Spish! Spish was awesome! :Db Saturday was wandering, a hilarious masquerade, running out in pouring rain to get dinner at Denny's, watching Tony Lee in top form at several panels, fantastic stories in the Fans Behaving Badly panel, dancing by the TARDIS - now a Gallifrey tradition, and a whole lot of IC I Never. Best conversation of the night had to be between Dean Winchester and DEATH. Way too much fun there. Sunday was an attempt to stay coherent after Saturday night's shenanigans, including the charity auction, in which I got a Mirrormask poster for ghettopeach and filled in as a temporary Vanna White (at which point one of the people in the audience tried to bid on me...okay then). I made a few new Twitter friends, said goodbye and see you next year and why don't we hang out more often to quite a few people. My goal this year was not to have any pocket watch incidents and not to be a complete rabid fangirl - oh, and to have fun - and I think I succeeded admirably in all aspects.
All Gally pictures and videos are here - let me know if you have any questions or want any explanations. My personal favorite is the one in which Tony Lee has AIDS. Cute, fluffy AIDS.
I have a list of about four people to call tomorrow and assorted other things to do, but aside from that life's mostly been quiet. I particularly like that.
In fandom news, I have a list of in-progress projects for which I rather want to kick my brain. I have this terrible problem with starting things and petering out, so we'll see how things go. The list, for my sanity and your curiosity, is as follows:
Drabbles:
- Where the Heart Is: Bitty!Terra back story now has a title! I only have three or four of these left before it's over, so hopefully I can get those done and done well.
- Take Two Grown-Ups: Yep, I've started those BBS-Trio-In-Disneyland drabbles. I have the first one written and a few in other random areas jotted down as well, and once I figure out an order for my ideas I'll likely have more of these pounded out.
Longer Projects:
- KH3/Tron Legacy: I've discovered that my motivation for this fic is highest in the days after I watch Legacy, so this is either on hold until April or...yes. You know. 8Db We'll see.
- AU Medieval fic: I have no idea where the inspiration for this one went, but it hasn't bitten at me for quite a while. I'm going to try to get things done for my drabbles first before I go for this one, since it'll require me throwing myself headlong back into the AU and that's a bit of a shift in gears. I still want to get this one done, though. I love it.
- Keyblade Rangers: I have no idea when I'm going to work on this one. I have a scene written. XD It requires a certain mood that I haven't been in for a bit. It also requires me sitting down and outlining a plot, which intimidates the daylights out of me. We'll see how things go for this one.
- MLP/BBS Crossover: Yes, I'm writing one. Yes, it's hilariously fluffy. Yes, I am enjoying the hell out of it. Yes, I'm posting the first chapter below. Dear self, what in Equestria are you thinking, love self. It also needs a title. Any ideas?
And, as promised, the first chapter of the MLP/BBS crossover. Because I'm a gigantic derp. Right. Whyisthissocuteeeeeeeee~

Terra shook his head slightly, trying to get his hair out of his eyes. “Something feels off,” he muttered.
“Well,” Aqua started, and he could hear the unsurety in her voice, “the Master did say that some worlds had magic of their own, and that it would change visitors to fit the standard of the world.”
“That explains a lot,” Ven muttered.
None of that was what Terra wanted to hear right after setting foot on a new world. He turned around, expecting to see his companions, and instead saw a blue-maned pastel blue unicorn with a waterfall depicted on its hindquarters and a yellow-maned light green Pegasus with a gust of wind pictured on its haunches. Slow realization dawned, and his eyes widened when he looked down to see he no longer had hands, but hooves, and back to see that skin and hair had become tan hide and brown mane and tail, with an image of a mountain range imprinted on his haunches. “We’re horses,” he said disbelievingly.
“No, we’re too small for horses,” Aqua corrected him, preferring to be analytical over emotional right about now. “I think we’re ponies.”
“Okay,” Terra replied, “we’re ponies. How is that better?”
“It’s not so bad,” Ven chimed in. “I mean, I can fly,” and he was already hovering, looking rather pleased with himself, “and Aqua’s got a pretty cool horn, and…” He trailed off, looking at Terra. “And you’re a pony,” he finished lamely.
“Thanks, Ven.”
Aqua shook her head, tossing her mane. “There’s probably a city or something around here,” she interrupted before her boys could break into an argument. “We should try to find it and see if anything strange has been going on.”
Anything strange meant Unversed. Terra and Ven sobered up immediately. “Right,” Terra nodded. “Good idea.” He jerked his head towards the dirt path, presumably leading out of the thick forest they’d landed in, turned to follow it, and promptly stumbled and fell on his face. Evidently the switch from two legs to four would take some getting used to.
“Nice try, Terra,” Ven laughed, too amused at his friend’s misfortune to notice the low-hanging branch in his way until it whacked him in the face, landing him on his rump on the ground right next to Terra.
“Honestly, you two,” Aqua sighed, shaking her head slowly. Ponies or not, boys would still be boys. “Let’s go.” She stumbled after her first few steps but managed to maintain her balance, leading the way down the path with Terra and Ven following rather unsteadily behind.

Basically, Kia is a giant derp who does nerdy, nerdy things. Business as usual. Love you all. ♥
