With all the emo going on here right now, I thought this sounded nice.

Snagged from mercurygrrl:

I will send a handmade gift to the first 5 people who leave a comment to this entry. I don't yet know what that gift will be, but you will receive it before the year is over. The only thing you have to do in return is "pay it forward" by making a similar ( Read more... )

meganphntmgrl's prompt: The most goddamn sincere pairing EVER of House and Emily the Corpse Bride. In SPACE."So how'd you get signed up, then? What are you doing here?" Her doll-like face looked down into his-or was it up?-and he realized she wasn't going to stop yammering until he said something. Probably anything ( Read more... )

metalmyersjason's prompt: Erik/Carlotta pairing taking place in a theater in San Francisco in the early seventies"What are you doing here?" The voice dripped venom-or was it acid, what the kids were doing now? Either way, it was a voice she'd hoped never to hear again. She rolled her eyes and her head to look over at the speaker.

So before I go, it seemed imperative to try the new(?) collage function on that myheritage.com website.
( um. just... wow. )

I love road trips. I'll go anywhere, nearly anytime. Unfortunately, Mr. Daroga is not of the same mindset. Mr. Daroga likes to be "productive" on his off time, which is all very well but makes for boring vacations ( Read more... )

The "and" is misleading, I know. It's really all one thing. Borrowed from lafemmedarla.

I undertake this meme with the following clarifications: There's not really any ship I won't read, if it comes recommended or is written by someone I like. I'm much more attached to quality than specific pairings. That said, I'll ship Spike with anyone. Likewise The ( Read more... )

Tagged by the incomparable tkp, who is far too kind to me:

1. Kissing the Frog (Phantom of the Opera): I have to choose this first because it's what got me back into fandom. It was also my first brush with what limited fame I have, as years later when I joined LJ people knew who I was and remembered the story. That felt really good. And while it's a ( Read more... )

[For all you non-fannish people, I'm sorry; just ignore!]

Inspired by the recent spate of friending memes 'round these parts, I thought it was high time for a Phantom of the Opera themed one. This is a divided fandom, for all its relative small stature, so here's our chance to find the like-minded--and the contrary we can stand--among the throng ( Read more... )
