real life and fandom always collide (in my mind)

You know what I want? An icon with the words “beneath the sky of lust” and a Supernatural video to Richard Marx’s “ Children of the Night”. *shrugs*

Also, are there any Supernatural videos to “Locking Up The Sun?”

Yes, I finally got my Poets of the Fall CD. *glee*

I have a new job, at my college’s bookstore. I get 20% off textbooks.

So, I know I ( Read more... )

Now that you mention it, I can definitely see similarities between Hades and Alistair, but there's this one fic out there...somewhere...hang on, where the fuck is it...ah-ha. Anyway, it completely cured me of seeing Hades as a villain. And did a much better job with the mythological background than Disney did.

Oh, the mythology of Disney's version is hilarious. I kept telling my little sister what actually happened, *hee*

It's been awhile since I watched the movie, but I like the songs, so I decided to see it again, since I can't get my hands on the soundtrack without buying it.

I'll check that fic out.

You see, sis, Hera wasn't Heracles' mom. She was, however, his aunt, his stepmother, and his mother-in-law.

Basically, yeah.

So, final thought: if you could have me write anything, (any fandom, any storyline) what would it be?

Well, if you watched BSG I'd have you write every major character's thoughts during "Sometimes a Great Notion".

Circumstances being as they are, perhaps a story where Alec is sent back to his past body (he doesn't know why and neither do we, he's just gotten a second chance) and manages to prevent Rachel's death and go on the run from Manticore, which necessitates that he leave Seattle for a while. He encounters Ben. He returns to Seattle (a move Manticore wouldn't expect) and is with Jam Pony before Max gets there.

That fic sounds intriguing. Does he take Rachel with him?

I thought she and her father would be safer apart from him.

Hmm... but what's to keep Manticore from going after Berrisford again?

I want you to write one where the seven dwarves are victims of an imperialist economic system and they don't get to keep any of the diamonds they find. Also, Dopey is a savant or autistic or something.

Alternatively, I want you to continue the Star Trek/Sky High/Supernatural/DCU/whatever-else-you-had-in-there story you did for reel_startrek, because it was incredible and I love what you did with Bones' character. Or, if you have continued it and I just missed it, could I have a link to them?

What's a timestamp request?

*hee* That'd be awesome.

No, everything I have of the Sky High/Star Trek reboot fusion is posted. (Well, except for a couple of scenes that got cut because I didn't see how I'd be able to finish it. Orginally, the fic would have spanned the whole school year, but I eventually figured out I had neither the inspiration nor the steam for that. The deleted scenes take place at the end of the year.) Also, thank you so much! I did have fun with that 'verse.

A timestamp is where you pick one of my stories (or more than one) and choose any time--like, a week before the start or ten years later--you want me to write.

Timestamps:
"We all go sometime" - many years after the last one ends
"In the glow" - the morning after one of those episodes
"Tryin' to chase the Lone Ranger down" - one week earlier
"Tower" - five years later

you can do any or all of these. No pressure. :)

You and me, backpacking around Spain? Dad would have a heart-attack.

Actually, the career counselor I talked to said that teachers don't need to know the foreign language.

Hey, it’s not that big a shock I cursed, dude.

Alistair could so kick Hades’ ass!

Hey, you know, that fic does sound familiar… I wonder why that could be. *smirks*

PS. This is a conversation, not a bulletin.

He doesn't have to know.....

Well, there went my only objection! Go for it!

No, but it was still fun to say (type? write? whatever).

Dude. Hades' hair is BLUE FIRE. Alistair has yellow eyes. Hades can burn out Alistair's eyeballs WITH HIS HAIR. Let's see Alistair do that.

Well, gee! *strong southern accent* I wonder why that is? And, isn't that nice?

P.S. Oh. Well then.

How would we keep something like that from him?

Alistair has WHITE eyes. And you call yourself a fan... *tsk tsk*

*stronger southern accent* Well, darlin, Ah actually added a sentence.

Literacy is awesome. Books are awesome. I'm kind of scandalized by this whole books-are-going-digital thing.
Teaching English as a second language seems like quite a challenge, and definitely a neat career option.

hmm... if I could have you write anything it would obviously be for Supernatural...

given my budding evil!dean fetish, which is partly your fault, if I could have you write anything it would be an evilDean coercing, prodding, and manipulating Sam and Castiel into swearing their allegiance to him despite their reservations. and then the end of the world by the hand of dean or his allies, as an afterthought that wouldn't necessarily appear in the fic, but might be implied.
as for why dean is evil...could be post-hell evil, some sort of ritual gone wrong, who knows.

wow, I got a little carried away there.

One of the greatest pleasures I have is curling up in a chair with a good book. I don't do it that often, but the option is always there, you know?

Teaching at all seems like quite a challenge. Teachers should totally have higher salaries.

Ooh, that fic sounds like fun.
