+ THE FIC DRAFT IS DONE. It clocks in at 105k (...roughly 12k of which are porn), and it's off with Olivia right now, being beta'd. I feel really bizarre about this fic! I mean, I woke up today feeling really light and happy and excited because it's done, or done enough that I can actually think about anything else ever again, but -- among other ( Read more... )

I have been watching some television! Specifically I have been watching SHIELD, Person of Interest, and Elementary.

( SHIELD! Speculation and disgruntlement. )

i. I can't stop listening to Aims, Vienna Teng's new album. (Link goes to the soundcloud album stream she posted. Actual album comes out tomorrow!) Just want to listen to all of it on endless loop, particularly Level Up and Never Look Away. It is good fighting music, and being happy music. It's perfect as a ward against and an accompaniment to the ( Read more... )

I ... am not going to do the fic year in review meme this year, because it asks such questions as what your favorite fic was, what your best fic was, what your sexiest fic was, &c &c, and it is not actually interesting if I just sit here typing SHATTER SHATTER SHATTER. Instead, have a quick fic roundup to end the year.

( 12 fics in 10 fandoms, ( Read more... )

+ The majority of my physical Christmas shopping is done! Soon I will WRAP them and set them under the TREE and -- I really love the evergreens and shining lights and finding gifts and drinking delicious spiked cocoa on Christmas morning with my mother; I am ridiculously overfull of holiday spirit ( Read more... )

i. Other things I love about December: pomegranates are in season! I have heard tell that a clever way to quickly remove the seeds from a pomegranate involves putting it in a bowl of water, but I really enjoy the -- I don't even know what the verb would be -- the shucking of a pomegranate? Something like that. It's satisfying and slightly ( Read more... )

I am writing so many things right now! But none of them are short, which is one of the reasons I haven't been posting fic constantly. (That, and one of the things I am writing is my NOVEL, which also cuts down on fic production.) One of the not-short things is a Good Omens fic, because I just did my semi-annual Good Omens reread, and instead of ( Read more... )

i. Got a Pottermore account last night! From the tragically limited selection of usernames it offered me, I'm StormScarlet127, which should be extremely easy to remember; I can't decide whether it sounds like I'm a particularly metal Gryffindor supporter or an Ororo/Wanda shipper.

ii. Naturally this vid exists:

When I went to Pottermore today, registration was still open, but by the time I had the answer to the clue it was closed. If only I could figure out what mad schedule it was actually operating on! I mean, honestly I'm not that fussed, I just won't be there for beta period, but -- I am pretty sure I dreamed last night that I got a Pottermore account ( Read more... )

Back home! Mildly exhausted, and living in that weird place where I want to organize my thoughts and talk about important, interesting things, but everything is coming out a jumble because I want to do everything all at once. Right now I expect that all I am up to is going through my billion accumulated tabs -- I am so delighted with Firefox's new ( Read more... )
