I bring you a list of awesome.

1. capslock_merlin. When I talk about this show it's mostly in capslock anyway, so, perfect. If you don't care about being spoiled for Episode 11, please click here omg.

2. reel_merlin. A list of suggested movies for claiming. Back to the Future AU? Hitchhiker's Guide AU? JURASSIC PARK AU? OCEAN'S 11 AU?!? OMFG. I DON'T KNOW WHICH TO FLAIL ABOUT MORE AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN WRITTEN YETfalskdf';slgk;dfk'g';dal;sfdlk

2a. Ages ago I fiddled with the idea of a Boondock Saints AU where Peter and Edmund destroy shit and kill people in the name of god andthentheyhavesex. It's not like they'd be completely out of their element. Aslan is totally Il Duce, but damned if I know who Smecker would be. Caspian is Greenly.

3. Speaking of Boondock Saints, In God's Country is greenapple's drabble-remix of my Boondock Saints fic Big Sky Country and it (the remix) is AMAZING. AMAZING. Connor/Murphy (warning: incest etc), rated R. Big ups to her for condensing 5000 words down to 400. Oh my gosh you guys, BOONDOCK SAINTS. GOOD TIMES. (Also, what is it about a canon with religious themes that makes it so prone to incest?)

4. amory_vain remixed my Y Tu Mama Tambien fic here, and it is HOT. I, um... didn't do my drabble remix because I never got my assignment, and then I forgot about it. I FAIL REMIXTHEDRABBLE. But I talked to the mods and they say I can get in on it anyway, late as I am. If I do, I'll apparently be drabbling Heroes!

5. I like to go on TV Tropes' Merlin page and see new stuff get added to it after every episode. Is it just me or are the examples for HoYay/FoeYay extremely skimpy. It is not just me. Camelot is totally crawling with STDs. ETA: Was it one of you guys that added that last bit to Hoyay??

*wistfully* I wish there was a reel_Narnia. That would be awesome.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

ME TOO. i would claim boondock saints so fucking fast, though it would quickly degenerate into being distracted by edmund shooting things and waxing poetic about boston. BOSTOOOOOON.

the feel of cold gunmetal as they recite the lord's prayer, and then the kickback and the feel of warm gunmetal.

edmund says, "um. i've forgotten the pennies."

"what do you mean you've forgotten the pennies?" peter demands. "how can you not have any pennies on you?"

"pennies are fucking useless!"

"no not anymore we need pennies now!"

"alright so do YOU have any pennies?"

peter quickly checks his wallet. "um."

they both look at the consiglieri they've just dispatched. "maybe," says edmund. "he's got some."

he does.


BOONDOCK SAINTS BED ARE YOU FEELIN ME

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

i have to admit i have never seen boondock saints. although i have been told it is precisely up my alley.

so today in band i found myself contemplating a high school band au. lucy plays flute. peter plays french horn, but he's the drum major, and he's anxious. edmund plays bassoon. susan is made of awesome (in other words, not sure what she plays! because clarinet is the obvious answer, but somehow i think NOT. peter should be playing trumpet, but for some reason he just screams french horn). caspian is the new transfer student, and he and peter argue a lot. perhaps they both play trumpet. after all, you know the trumpet player's handshake! "hi, i'm better than you." and it's totally true.

and then they have sex.

*cough* yes. yes, everything in my life somehow comes back to narnia, oh my god.

THE MUMMY AU. although i'm not exactly sure how it would work. one would have to keep the core plot, of course. peter is rick, obviously, and susan is evey. lucy and edmund could probably split jonathan. AND THE WHITE WITCH IS THE MUMMY. trumpkin is ardeth bay. caspian is...yeah, i got nothin'.

i kind of love the mummy. *dreamy-eyed*

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

your high school band au sounds loltastic. there should be a high school/college AU of EVERYTHING.

boondock saints is like the movie that tries to be reservoir dogs, but can't. it really can't. but it's fun, with pretty boys who drop cluster F-bombs everywhere and shoot the shit out of things and banter in bad irish accents and have a deep an unequivocal devotion to, uh, god. AND EACH OTHER. FAMILYYYYYYY. miles away from ireland, working shitty jobs at a meat processing plant, they rely only on one another. they drink and smoke all the damn time.

lucy should be evey! edmund and susan split jonathan. ardeth bey is a HOTASS I WOULD TAP LIKE WOOOAAAAH. though not in trumpkin form.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

of course, my other high school/college au was the werewolf!pevensies story, and that got me original fic. (the edmund character's name is now jared, and also nathan is sleeping with everyone in his family as well as sebastian. IT IS A WEREWOLF PACK. it is supposed to be a little screwed up.)

i...um, have never seen reservoir dogs either.

*head to side* now, if we usee lww as a basis, then that works (and you're right, lucy is so totally evey and susan and edmund are jonathan and peter is rick. except in a, "i am related to you" kind of way, not "i am a hot stranger" kind of way). BUT if we use pc as a basis, then peter should totally be ardeth bay and caspian can be rick.

...which is a scary thought. except then they can have hot desert!sex!

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

and hey aren't packs and herds and stuff inherently incestuous anyway?

NEW MERLIN IN LESS THAN 24 HRS OMFG
ARTHUR MAY OR MAY NOT FIND OUT
about the maaaaaaaaagiiiiiiic
i cannot wait.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

that is my point exactly! and possibly nathan also sleeps around with the other members of his pack, only not so often. but boy, is caspian sebastian confused the first time he walks in on nathan and olivia...and nathan and jared...and nathan and amelia...and nathan and olivia and jared...

WHOOHOO YAY.

also, omg, ocean's 11 au. peter is danny! edmund is rusty! susan is tess! lucy is...um, the guy who blows stuff up, i forgot his name! caspian is linus! miraz is...crap, the guy whose name i keep forgetting, the guy who owns the casino. the beavers are the drivers! reepicheep is the chinese acrobat! tumnus is the computer guy? (doncha just love how i know no one's name?)

more importantly, peter just got out of jail. i am kind of fascinated with this notion, and jut keep turning it over and prodding at it.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

in other news omg
my calormen fic will NOT LET ITSELF END and contains
1) a high five over to 'his dark materials', particularly 'the subtle knife'
2) allegories of the eucharist
3) the big bang theory as an illustration of amorphous causality
4) possibly a reinterpretation of the HCA 'snow queen' fairy tale?
5) probably my sociology notes (OF COURSE), particularly in a part where jadis paraphrases foucault

and i have this edmund&susan icon all picked out for when i finally post the damn thing.

this is definitely leaning towards being the longest fic i've ever written

EDMUND AND SUSAN ALL UP IN MY BRAAAAAIIIIN

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

honeybaby, i am psyched.

in other news, last night the only thing i could think of to write (and i had people nanoing in my dorm, so i kind of had to write) was a thousand words of peta/caspian porn.

which was not really helped by the fact that what i really wanted to write was peter/susan. *sigh*

hmm. i should write something with edmund and susan. well. or susan and lucy. or lucy at ALL.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

LUCY WHO????

[lettersandliars.livejournal.com]

FORGIVE MY INTRUSION, BUT HIGH SCHOOL BAND AU, YES, SO MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF YES. maybe susan doubles on clarinet and piccolo? or maybe she's just the go-to girl for everything and plays ninety different instruments.

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

...clarinet and piccolo? *blinks* (although who am i to talk, i played three different saxophones, piano, flute, and picc.) i do not think she quite fits the picc bill. *considers* trombone, maybe. or saxophone?

[lettersandliars.livejournal.com]

ooh, i like her on alto sax. (i've played only woodwinds since the fifth grade, i probably am a little narrow-minded on that one.)

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

i am trying my hardest to have the discipline to only watch this after i get substantial work done on my draft proposal but omfg sidereel is all like leering at me like "YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT"

PEER PRESSURE

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

bedlam keeps feeding me crack i can't help iiiiiiiiiiit
flaily!

Hi, LJ stalker who got here through ineptshieldmaid.

This Narnia O11 AU is sheer brilliance. Please continue adding on. I want to join, but you people are way out of my league.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

hello! i'm glad you're enjoying haha. i am too. these days i spend more time ficcing in comments than on a word document, i feel. XD

[starsimpulse.livejournal.com]

*dies*

just when i thought you guys couldn't get more awesome... you did. this AU is so much love. SO. MUCH. LOVE.

also, i heard this song and i thought of this AU and so i thought i would share. it doesn't even really fit that well, but just the bit about the hotel rooms, and cigarettes and lies, and the gold coins and getting caught and just, idk.

anyway, you guys, and your commentficcing billiance, are awesome. *worships*

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

oh man, i am glad you are having fun too and that it's not just, you know, me and bedlam smoking crack in a corner and giggling over our own depravity. i am on a school computer so i can't as of yet listen to that song, but you are awesome for your enabling! this AU: totally my excuse for writing about airports and hotel rooms and cigarettes.

*hugssssssss*

[starsimpulse.livejournal.com]

*hugsssssssssssssssssss back*

this AU: totally my excuse for writing about airports and hotel rooms and cigarettes.

i find it interesting that you said that, because, like, for everyone else in the fandom, they just go to RPF for all that, but of course you and bedlam find a loophole. or maybe it's just the crack. *muses*

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

i think i might've indulged more in narnia rpf if, y'know, skandar and georgie weren't so young. reading will/skan mostly just made me feel creepy, which is very weird reasoning i know, considering the variety of creepy things i have written, but... i dunno.

[starsimpulse.livejournal.com]

yeah, in narnia fandom, it's pretty much either incest or rpf. it's just whichever one squiks you less. of course, now i have no problem with either of them. FANDOM, YOU HAVE RUINED ME!

*uses this conversation as an excuse to use pretty new icons*

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

i have a folder full of pretty narnia and merlin icons that i have no space for. i just recently broke down and whored out my LJ for advertising space in exchange for more icon space. i have one that is from the premiere your icon is in, except without the words. will and his stupid skinny tie, lolz. anna and her hotness \o/. georgie and her cute! skandar and his bad haircuts.

it's not rpf that squicks me. i've written my fair share of that. (i've even written... rpf incest? SHHHH.) but it's mostly that skandar being 15 weirds me out.

...man i feel like i need justifications for my justifications. ethical sense: i am not making it? fandom: spawning questionable morals since IDEK.
