yuletide 2009, Redux

[unrequitedangst]

This is late because I've been offline/freaking out about my job for the past three weeks, but: I signed up for Yuletide this year because I've always wanted to do it and maybe also a little because I felt guilty about not writing anything all year and I ended up getting the most fantastic story ever.

Age or Wizardry wrote What Eli and Oskar Do on

Moral of the story: I can only write on a deadline so I should sign up for every ficathon fandom has to offer from now on

Ahaha, you could end up regretting this if someone manages to coerce you into signing up for the Akame fic exchange, or if I somehow manage to convince you that signing up for je_ficgames this year is a fantastic idea ;)

Anddd you've just reminded me that I still need to catch Let The Right One In! I will get right onto that once I have some free time :)

[unrequitedangst]

I really like Let the Right One In! It's pretty typical of the canons I tend to like, though, so YMMV--the film is gorgeous and I love their use of space and how lonely everyone is, but it's different than the usual vampire film.

And lololol, Akame fic exchange/je_ficgames. I already promised Matchy I would help mod the Akame fic exchange, but I haven't decided yet about whether I have anything to write for it (or if I even can since I technically signed up as a non-writing mod ....) so that's up in the air. I will definitely keep je_ficgames in mind if the timing works out! Are you keeping the same team structure as last year or do you have something different in mind?

[gingifere]

Mm, I remember nearly everyone who saw it raving about it, and I definitely want to check it out, even though I know it will end up breaking my heart. But the big film I am looking forward to this year is the film version of Girl with a Dragon Tattoo :D Sweden was very good to us last year!

Ah, I see. I...will likely not end up writing for the Akame fic exchange, simply because I deal horribly under pressure when it comes to writing, and I know I will end up knocking out some horribly cliched Akame angst the week before. As for je_ficgames, we've tentatively decided on June/July to run it, simply because it seems like the best time for everyone (not to mention no other fic exchanges are running at the same time!). We're not sure whether we're keeping the same team structure, because it would be nice to try something else, and I know for certain the prompts will be much different from last year. I would say watch this space though!

[unrequitedangst]

Oh, are they doing a cinema release in the UK? I will keep an eye out for it--someone else on my flist already saw it and said she really liked it.

Aw, that sucks, but I get it--I think I'm just weird in only being able to produce fic with pressure from someone else, but you shouldn't stress yourself out unnecessarily! I'll see what happens for je_ficgames--I'm not sure yet what my schedule will be like then, since my work schedule may pick up at that point and I'm thinking of traveling early in the summer, but keep me posted.

BIGBANGBIGBANGBIGBANG. :D :D :D

[unrequitedangst]

I KNOW, RIGHT. Now I just need a ... plot.

[illuminations]

Disembodied head fic.

[unrequitedangst]

SOBBING.

Yoochun doesn't get this disembodied head thing that seems to be going around fandom. It's creepy! Why can't people just have normal, regular icons on Google Talk instead of--Yoochun doesn't know, Sam fucking Dean up the ass like everyone used to have in the good old fandom days?

"I'm not sure if brothers fucking counts as normal," Changmin says over the phone when Yoochun brings it up, which is so really not the point.

It's driving Yoochun crazy, though. He had everything mapped out in his head: Junsu had the Star Trek icons, Changmin had all the ridiculous anime icons of boys playing tennis, so forth and so on. Now everytime Yoochun logs into chat, there are little ... heads ... on his contact list and even though he knows what everyone looks like and how to match faces and screennames together after all the times Yunho has made them meet up IRL, it's still just. creepy

OH MY GOD. YOU GOT LET THE RIGHT ONE IN FIC. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME? Also cannot believe you are forcing me to see a Dakota Fanning movie. Though in retrospect I could have .... planned this better.

[proudfoot]

which movie??? are you talking about push! it is good, don't worry. I love the dude in it too. tell me what you think of it!

[tretton]

Courtzzzzzzz♥ Can I just quickly say that I SO TOTALLY was going to send you a mail this week, like, I told myself only today BEFORE THIS WEEK ENDS I will send you a mail and I got your Christmas card like weeks ago (or maybe it was ajkdgfn last week?) and it was so sweet and you are such an idiot [I think I stared at this for five minutes.... maybe I can't.... call you an idiot without sounding like.... a bitch?] if you think I'd ever f-cut you or whatever. but, like, I swear I was going to .... yeah. maybe next month I can aödkjfgnak send you my Push review.

[proudfoot]

I feel like I should not be having some awkward love fest on Ian's journal but Sophia I like you lots wefjggih which makes me insecure. I'M GLAD YOU GOT MY CARD. AND THAT YOU WILL NOT CUT ME.

[proudfoot]

speaking of deadline stuff, Christy mentioned this AU big bang the other day and I thought it was only for cook/archuleta. TURNS OUT ITS NOT. now I keep having hilarious visions of us signing up for it.

[unrequitedangst]

THAT'S THE ONE DI HAS BEEN ASKING ME ABOUT. I'm so torn about it, like, in my head it would be a great idea to sign up with Superheroes or something because then I might actually post, but idk if that is cheating T_T or if it will turn out to be an awful idea once school starts up again T___t

ps: thanks for listening to all my posting stress, bb~ :x
