From woldy and kellychambliss:

When you see this, post a poem in your journal.

My Life had stood by Emily Dickinson

My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun -
In Corners - till a Day
The Owner passed - identified -
And carried Me away -
And now We roam in Sovereign Woods -
And now We hunt the Doe -
And every time I speak for Him -
The Mountains straight reply -

Thanks to a recent post over at linguaphiles, I was reminded of how awesome this is:

Oh, and since I'm in the mood for a meme -- here's the one that was going around a couple of months ago:

Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom.

I was tagged by kellychambliss  to do this meme:

Name five fics or art that you’ve written and tell us what first inspired it, whether it was a visual image, a song, a prompt or something else entirely.

Thinking about this, it occurred to me that the process of writing often starts with some sort of sentence or line or phrase -- I suddenly think of a line which I  ( Read more... )

In celebration of May Day, I'm posting the drabble meme that's been going around:

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me.

Any fandom I know (or you think I know) is fair game. There's no need to feel shy about asking, since lack of requests would only make me feel ( Read more... )

Well, I haven't been doing much today, fandom-related things included. I've been meaning to work on a couple of fics, but I'm still a little tired from all of the fest fic writing, so...

Comment with a pairing (any fandom you think I know), and a prompt, and I'll write you a comment ficlet in response to said prompt.

(Yeah, this is a variation of a ( Read more... )

Taken from redsnake05 :

One little compliment can make you feel great. So give me a compliment, anything in the entire world, even that my shoelaces are pretty. Put this in your journal. Once you get some comments, put that entry in a memory or tag and when you are feeling down, just go to that entry and this will remind you how great you are.

Comments are ( Read more... )

Yes, I dug out the old character meme - with characters from different fandoms this time!

1. Sherlock Holmes
2. Edmund Pevensie (from Narnia)
3. Dolores Umbridge (from Harry Potter)
4. James Bond
5. Tracy Turnblad (from Hairspray)
6. Shadwell (from Good Omens)
7. Caspian X (from Narnia)
8. Argus Filch (from Harry Potter)
9. Gandalf the Grey (from Lord of ( Read more... )

You know, that meme that was going around some weeks ago:

If you could make me write something, what would it be?

First, another Narnia fic rec: Girls Grow Quicker than Books by Kyra Cullinan (Lucy Pevensie, genfic).

Beautiful, poignant and short (500 words), this fic completely blew me away. I have read a fair share of excellent fanfiction dealing with the Pevensies' loss, and this may be the best that I've ever come across. Lucy was already one of my ( Read more... )

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee!

I replied to redsnake05 's post, and she asked me to talk about all of icons, since there are only six of ( Read more... )
