Selfcest Commentfic Meme is exactly what it sounds like. Look, I know you want Dean Winchester/Tom Hanniger fic as much as I do.

[community profile] spnfemslashexchange is also having a commentfic meme, because Anna/Amelia, amirite. (I am right.)

Okay, I've seen Sherlock Holmes 2 like three times now, and I spoilery question )

Things that happen in chat when you're supposed to be sleeping: Castielfest, ya'll! Raise your hand if you'd be interested in a Castiel-centric fic exchange. Gen, slash, het, whatever -- as long as Cas is top-billing. We're thinking sign-ups begin a few days after the S5 finale airs, stay open for a week or so, then participants have a month to write at least 1000 words upon receiving their assignments. [livejournal.com profile] vikki has a poll here to gauge interest, and it would be awesome if you could fill it out and let us know your questions/concerns/disagreements/suggestions.

It's Three Weeks For Dreamwidth time, trying to generate more Dreamwidth activity to celebrate its 1-year anniversary, hence the cross-posting. If you, like me, are still like "Dreamwhat?", it might behoove us to check out [personal profile] stepps's Lonely Planet guide to Dreamwidth. And, here's something cool that DW-clicking did for me recently: [personal profile] ephemere's thoughts on Filipino identity and writing about other cultures led me to the post that sparked it ('No Foreigners Allowed' by Charles Tan), which in turn led me to the sidebar of Charles Tan's blog, which is stuffed full of links to Filipino speculative fiction fkdjsfklkjk AWESOME.


This old meme:
1 - Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 - I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3 - You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 - You'll include this explanation.
5 - You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.

Dreamwidth snippet time. Some of these, you might have seen before. I'm transferring a lot of old snippets to the DW for easier linking. The following are all rated PG13 or lower.

19th century RPF
with friends like these | Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels, after Marx fired Ruge from the cool kids' table. 118 words.

Hetalia
life is like a japanese vending machine | Germany and Japan take a walk around Tokyo in the winter. WARNING: fluff. 285 words.

Sherlock Holmes (2009)
Metamorphosis | So the first thing I did after I watched the movie was go on [livejournal.com profile] sherlockkink, where someone was like, "Write the one where Watson is turning into a snakeman." Perhaps someday I'll extend this into something full-length. 174 words.

Merlin
missing scene #4 | From Just Lie Back and Think of Camelot (Arthur/Merlin, R). 223 words.
It's Pronounced Woostah | Road trip! Merlin, Will, Morgana, and Gwen make a stop in Worcester, Massachusetts. I'm not sure if this is AU or crack. 485 words.
Once, in Manila | Arthur, Uther, Lancelot, and Gaius go on a family vacation of sorts in Manila, Philippines. Again, I'm not sure if this is AU or crack. Now with the commentfic addition I wrote for Nix! 1650 words.

Narnia
between here and there | Post-TLB. Susan traveling the world. 156 words.
no matter of yours | Golden Age. In which Tumnus is smarmy and Edmund doesn't want to know. 114 words.
missing scene #1 | From this room has many windows (Edmund/Peter/Susan, PG13). 149 words.
more missing scenes | From and sometimes you hear the silence speak (Edmund, Susan, Jadis, magic; PG13).

multifandom
missing scene #2 | From A Guide to Modern Living (Gossip/Boondock Saints, Travis/Connor, R). 221 words.


I've been leaving sekrit one-sentence fic in my boyfriend's phone iTouch. (I keep forgetting it's not a phone! After all it has all the basic phone tools, like chess and instant stock market updates.) They are in the key of:
19th-century RPF: Karl looks at the box suspiciously and says that he hopes Friedrich knows this doesn't mean he'll be getting a gift in return.
Baseball RPF (Red Sox): "Well," Pedroia says with a knowing smile, "in America, Daisuke, a home run can mean many things."

So I guess it's official for the time being: [personal profile] whynot is my repository of ficcish errata e.g. commentfic, meme responses, etc. Every so often, I will compile a list here of new things I've posted there.

List of things I've posted there! )

I love that I finally get to put these icons to work. I love my DW icons! If ever I decide to become fandom Voldemort bent on fandom immortality, these icons would be my horcruxes. So-called mentors! Gaiusface! WILL BEING OPPRESSED. And Peter/Susan of the keysmash variety. Yessss.

VID REC TIME, because I've watched this next one four times now and it fills me with feeeeeeeelings every time, holy shit.

Waking World - It's about Morgana and Gwen and the men they loved who failed them. This vid is incredibly well-constructed. Meticulous attention to detail for maximum levels of verklempt! I WAS ALL LIKE, "Uther & Morganaaaaaa D: D:" and like "OMG MORGANA" then like "Arthur Gwen Lancelot D: D:" and like "GWEN OMG" then like "GWEN OMG" and then I was all "HOLY SHIT, LADIIIIIIES" and then THE ENDING HAPPENED and I am like <3333 :-O :-O <33333345. It breaks your heart then sets you freeee.

Despite itself, the vid has put me in the mood for gritty Arthur/Morgana and tragic Arthur/Gwen/Lancelot. Hmm.

By the same vidder, there is If You Were Gay, which is that song from 'Avenue Q'. Vidding Merlin and Arthur to this is perfect and hilarious (omg the VOICES and the FACES) and oh how I giggled. PERHAPS I EVEN CHORTLED.

In conclusion: [livejournal.com profile] amerlinworld. It's like A Softer World, but with more 'Merlin'!

Baby's first DW cross-post! I'm just experimenting and checking this sucker out. So far I like that DW allows 15 icons. That's pretty sweet.

+ I've got 2 1 Dreamwidth invites and 21 GoogleWave invites. Who wants in?

+ Voila my fandom stocking! If you have one, comment here with a link to it plz. Click here to sign up for one of your own!

+ I know we just got over Solstice and are wrestling with Yuletide, but if an Arthur/Gwen fic exchange is still relevant to your interests, [livejournal.com profile] agficexchange sign-ups end on December 18. YAY ARTHUR/GWEN

+ re: Parks & Recreation. WHERE IS THE APRIL/ANDY FIC, GUYS.

+ I am nowhere close to finishing SPN S1 and already I am contemplating crossovers and fusions, I can't help myself. LIKE. Uther hires them to kill warlocks or something and some Sam/Morgana happens. And, this 3-sentence fic has convinced me that the Winchesters and the Pevensies need to hang out, or walk some miles in each other's shoes. I NEED TO KNOW MOAR.

+ There should be fic about all your favorite characters being BFFs with Wall*E, y/y.

+ It's...
Memetime with Mordred & Morgana

Come play!

1. Dreamwidth sent out more invite codes, so here they are: TPNTRC9NDKZVVAAAEJ7C, FY5A4M4VJKKFSAAAEJ7D, EEQK7368624N4AAAEJ7E

2. I'm catching up on comments in a meandering sort of way, but FYI now I'm not being emailed comments so the meander has slowed to a sort of dazed wandering.

3. Against my better judgment and aspirations towards improved time management, I've signed up for [livejournal.com profile] camelotsolstice. Woo? Speaking of Merlin:

4. I think I'm being linked up to the trailer for Merlin series 2, but no, it's clips from series 1 with bits from Legend of the Seeker and Lord of the Rings incomprehensibly thrown in. Fuck that shit. On the other hand!:

5. A TRAILER FOR MOTHERFUCKING BOONDOCK SAINTS 2?!?! It's been in development hell for fucking ages and now there is a traaaiiiiler?! I'm ready to be pleasantly surprised, sequel! Oh BDS, my long lost fandom! OH NORMAN REEDUS <33!

6. Ramadhan's been going on for a while now, and I still have to drabble something out for it. They're having an Eid fic sign-up post on Livejournal and on Dreamwidth.

7. I finally started catching up on this season's Leverage ) I wish there was more episodes of The Office and Parks & Recreation.

8. Speaking of The Office! Someone submitted an application to [livejournal.com profile] sorting_elite as Dwight Schrute.

9. I'm thinking of doing a DVD commentary of The Ink Still Drying because Merlin and Arthur are unreliable narrators and there's more going on than they notice. Would you dig it?

10. Hmm, I think that's all?
whynot: etc: oh deer (Default)
Reason #578504357 I love my boy: "Maybe you can write about Merlin and Arthur being gay seaweed farmers in the Philippines."

Maybe I can, babe. Maybe I can.

Have a Dreamwidth invite code: JYVWG658CZ73WAAAD6YC. There's some community on DW where you can offer your extra codes, but most of them have all sorts of conditions. You got people going like, "I'll give you a code if you make me John/Rodney fanart!" or like, "I'll give you a code if you speak Esperanto!" or like, "If I give you a code, you MUST friend me back." So, whatevs.

I've been meaning to do this for a while: here is a RAR file of 13 instrumental songs of varying genres. Unlike my fanmixes, the songs aren't preset into an ordered playlist, but I sort of like this order myself. ) Enjoy!


Livejournal has begun sending me notices that my paid account is about to run out. I think the best way to commemorate this tragic end is to do that icon meme where you write drabbles about the characters in your adjacent icons, since after July 19 they'll be gone anyway. Watch this space for drabbles about the following things, hopefully:

a) Edmund learns shadow puppetry
b) Merlin and his unicorn end up in Manila, possibly working a calesa by the bay
c) Pulp Fiction fusion starring Morgana as Mia Wallace and Merlin as Vincent Vega
d) Lucy in Wonderland hanging out with Alice and the Caterpillar
e) something about Morgana and the mafia
f) and then there's Gwen/Susan, and Camelot OT4 + Jadis, and Pendragons + Peter&Susan, I don't even know where to begin holy shit. Maybe I want to write about Arthur Pendragon trying to figure out a troublesome Hungarian phrasebook, or Edmund and Susan fighting zombies. WHO KNOWS.

I did the "things I'll never write" meme a few weeks ago, though it was just an excuse to request the strangest prompts people can think of, because as history shows, I'll write anything. So, I wrote Peter&Jadis near the end of the Golden Age for [livejournal.com profile] bedlamsbard (Bed, I may still actually owe you fic, since this isn't technically Peter/Jadis), and Ororo between X2 and X3 for [livejournal.com profile] dirty_diana.

Then everyone else gave Narnia crossover prompts, so I've compiled those all here in a section subtitled 'people they never loved'.


Another Shore

- for [livejournal.com profile] marycontraire, who said Edmund/Effy (Narnia/Skins)
Neither Edmund nor Effy are surprised that their older brothers don't get along. )

- for [livejournal.com profile] animus_wyrmis, who said Edmund/Hermione (Narnia/Harry Potter)
2 people who objected to Edmund and Hermione's relationship )

- still for [livejournal.com profile] animus_wyrmis, who also said Edmund/Luna (Narnia/Harry Potter)
She's safe, that much is sure, but he isn't sure how she's safe: whether it's because she would believe him, or because no one would believe her. )

- for [livejournal.com profile] be_themoon, who said Nimueh/Jadis (Narnia/Merlin). With visual aid!
Nimueh whispers an incantation and the cut on her palm closes itself. )

ETA: FUCK IT. Here are two codes to start a Dreamwidth account: DRQKSWTQPJHVZAAACZU9 and QFTXMA3ZGR9NJAAACZVA. I cast them to the wind and wash my hands of them!
whynot: etc: oh deer (Default)
D-: HULU REMOVED SEASONS ONE AND TWO. Where will I get my FNL fix now?! Who will tell me things like "I'm going to squeeze his testicles until he's bleeding term papers." WHO. WHERE. :(

Rec me Hulu shows? Or at least shows that are available online. Preferably not CSI-type cop shows, they bore me.

I posted some things on the Dreamwidth. They are all reposts, reposted for more convenient linking. This masterlist business, you know. (I have written a shit-ton. What am I doing with my life?!) You've seen some of these before maybe.

* the empty world sings - Narnia. Pre-Peter/Lucy, dubiously gen. PG. Written for the Narnia kink-meme prompt 'trapped in a cabin in the mountains' during winter, except I changed 'cabin' to 'some caves'. Golden Age fic. 270 words.

* An Ounce of Prevention - Narnia. Edmund & the Narnian Intelligence Agency, even though they're not really called that. PG. Golden Age fic. 359 words.

* From Another Country - Narnia/Stardust. Co-written with [livejournal.com profile] fahye. Ben Barnes/Ben Barnes Caspian/Dunstan. PG13. "The years have left their marks on both of them, inside and out." 760 words.

* Walk Along Horizons - Narnia RPF written for Porn Battle VII. Liam/Anna/Will. NC17. "Have you forgotten the part where you kick us out of Narnia?" 620 words.

Soooooo, yeah.

Off to get food before the caf closes.
