5 things!

1. First things first! Who wants to beta my [livejournal.com profile] narniaexchange fic? It is about Peter and Edmund, and pretty much gen except for Lucy flirting in the background. Approx 3000 words.

2. D'aww, look at my new icon! I love icons of when they're frolicking on the beach, all exultant and rejoicing and not yet aware of how they've just entered a world of shit. (Why do I have this feeling I'm going to be switching to a Plus account soon-ish.)

3. So apparently the 'Prince Caspian' DVD is out in some places aaaand OMG. SO CUTE. MOTHERFUCKING PEVENSIES and the dorks who play them FTW

4. I have the following WIPs:
a) 'Secret Garden' OT3 fic for [livejournal.com profile] 1sentence. 20 out of 50 sentences written.
b) Susan arrives in Aslan's Country AKA Narnia is fucking depressing, let's write some motherfucking cuddles. I am stuck on the Susan&Peter scene, though. 717 words written, more with the Susan&Peter outtakes.
c) Edmund and Susan go to Calormen and screw around with magic, and also Jadis is creepy. Inappropriate implications abound! Approx 5000 words written.

d) 'The Crosstree & the Grail', the Narnia/Merlin Peter Pevensie/Arthur Pendragon with [livejournal.com profile] bedlamsbard. Our douchebag!Arthur characterization has been negated by canon, sooooo. Trying to amend it. 5883 words written.
e) 'The Fox and the Lion' or 'Betrayal is the Truth that Sticks.' An assassination attempt on Edmund in the Golden Age, featuring the Narnian CIA and Edmund taking care of business. I kind of forgot I wrote this! I've even sent it off to for a beta and everthang. I just never figured out how to fix the ending. 1420 words written.
f) Arthur/Lancelot, maybe Arthur/other people, I don't even know. Supposed to be the 'conversation we had about knocking' fic, but we'll see where it goes. 742 words written.
ETA: g) Marx/Engels for [livejournal.com profile] zempasuchil! I will write it! Um... 0 words written. But I have Ideas in my head!

Having said this, please shoot me if I don't spend most of this week writing my rough draft for my thesis proposal omg.

5. MY SCHOOL LIBRARY HAS GRAPHIC NOVELS FOR CIRCULATIONNNNN!??!? WHY SO AWESOME, SCHOOOOOOL. This is not going to help with getting my proposal draft done.

[identity profile] animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com 2008-11-18 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, I would beta! Assuming I am not your person, because that might ruin the surprise?

Also, how do you manage to write such short fics? Why do they not all turn into raging monsters that never ever end? ::is jealous::

Also, all your WIPs sound awesome! Especially The Secret Garden one! I was not aware there was much fic for that book at all, but I am so glad there is, because it is *awesome*. (A Little Princess just can't compare. Sarah is so *perfect*, whereas Mary and Colin are so...not.)

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2008-11-18 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You are not my person, so yay! Thanks.

No no, I wonder how people write such LONG fics, all lush and absorbing and stuff. Me with my impressionistic flashes, we are whatevved! (AHAHA, we are like, "No, YOU!" "NO, you!" Okay.) Both the 'Ed&Su in Calormen' and narniaexchange fics went on for MUCH longer than I expected, and I'm kind of happy about this.

A fellow 'Secret Garden' fan, yay! I think my position on SG fandom changed when I read somewhere about how the events in SG just seemed to be a set-up for some sort of Colin/Mary/Dickon action in the future and I was like YES PLEASE. Did you hear about those SG 'sequel' novels people have written?!

LASS DUST 5 IS OVER 9K. I HAVE FICS LONGER THAN THIS CHAPTER. *so close she can fucking taste it*

ahahahaha SUSAN AND CASPIAN. (dude. for a moment there i thought i was about to get jossed, but no, caspian was carrying a crossbow and not a longbow.)

a career in medicine WHAT. if by medicine you mean INFLICTING BODILY HARM. and...that scene may have just jossed my caspian conspiracy theory. WHAT.

no. no, apparently i don't think of anything other than myself. *facepalm*

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2008-11-19 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
OMG i know CAREER IN MEDICINE WHAAAAAAT. dude, i was totally expecting him to say something like "my future has always belonged to narnia" or some shit like that BUT NO. MEDICINE. i forget this isn't fic?? I WAS EXPECTING MORE PETER/NARNIA FROM THIS.

well maybe you're not jossed, what if caspian was just frontin'? you know how all the players like to front.

things that also keep going on and on: my calormen fic?! it may clock in at around 7000 words?! this is hefty for me. 'hidden pictures' altogether is 7400 words. WTF. also this fic has plot?!

personally, i feel that deleted scenes are only canon if you want them to be. especially when they haven't cgi'ed up the narnians yet!

god. peter would be the worst doctor ever. can't you just see it? "can you feel your legs?" "I CAN FEEL THE BLINDING PAIN." "good, you're good to go. come back when you can't feel anything!"

...god, i must be tired, i just wrote in a peter/susan/edmund puppypile. *squints*

even so let us do! what sort of enchantments would they put on the entrances to cair paravel's secret passageways?!

how is that lucy and her angry stabbings

[identity profile] bantha-fodder.livejournal.com 2008-11-21 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
edmund doesn't know very much about enchantments, but he learns. tumnus at first shies away from the enchantments, but "narnia asks it of you" edmund says, his voice firm, and tumnus teaches him the ways he knows, music enchantments and those that affect wood. there is a secret door behind lucy's bookshelves; the enchantment there weaves cobwebs across the door and across one's eyes. when lucy finds out she is very angry (she is not so comfortable with spiders).

lucy and her angry stabbings are in stasis, but i hope to pick her up again shortly, now semester is finished. though i should tackle yuletide first, and finish making presents. and so on.
