Novak o'clock already? As always, the graphics are not our creations, and clicking on them will take you back to the graphics source/creators.

Except for this one. [personal profile] callowyn made this one. 3x11, "Mystery Spot":


Mostly S4 and S5, though there is a bit of 1x12. )
That ol' preseries song and dance. )

All previous installments of this open-source madness can be found here, as delicioused by Cally. Speaking of Cally, she has an announcement!: First I have to be completely obnoxious and self-congratulatory about making a Novakcest feed. Clicking that link will take you to the raw feed (or Google Reader, if you use it); you can also sign up for [syndicated profile] novakcest_feed on DW and [livejournal.com profile] novakcest_feed on LJ. I recommend Google Reader, as the formatting is much prettier, but both ways should work. ANYWAY THIS IS PROBABLY REDUNDANT SINCE THE ONLY PEOPLE TO SEE THIS ARE ON MY FLIST BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS COOL. CARRY ON.

BLESS YOU, CALLY. She also rejigged the Physics Macaw tumblr so that it's like a comm now, and you can more easily submit unto it more of the Physics Macaw's adventures through Jacob's tears for crackers. CALLY, BLESS YOU TWICE.

SO YEAH.

WAIT, MAYBE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MISHA IN YOUR LIFE. [livejournal.com profile] callowyn and I can help you out. This is more from the 'verse where Jacob and Jimmy are twins who hunt things and save people. Growing up in Pontiac is never boring when you want to fuck your brother and have to kill werewolves after school! You can find previous installments under this tag.

Random Jacob Novak Fact of the Day: He picked the name Glaser because he and Jimmy were big "Starsky & Hutch" fans growing up. (Paul Michael Glaser played David Starsky.)

WARNING: MISHA. )
preseries/S1 shenanigans )

And hey, remember the MIT Physics Macaw? The one that Jacob knows is actually a cockatoo but keeps calling a macaw to piss off Professor Kurt Mendel?



Jacob's sole confessor has gone meme, courtesy of Cally's graphicking. I was gonna link to the memegenerator template so you guys can make some more and submit it to the Physics Macaw tumblog that has mysteriously appeared, but the template seems to have vanished... Oh well. Here, have one more while we figure it out. ETA: Figured! Cally has reuploaded the Physics Macaw meme template for us all.

Okay, Dean/Cas fans, here is Hawaii 5-0 explained to you in your language. So, in this AU, Dean is a cop from New Jersey-- )

I was gonna post more SPN 6x03 thoughts, but have a meme I yoinked from [personal profile] themadlurker instead.

1. Make a list of 10 characters, and keep it to yourself for the moment.
2. Ask your flist to post questions in the comments e.g. 'How do Four and Seven save the world using only marshmallows, string, and a tuning fork?' or 'What made 2 and 1 fall in love?'
3. After your flist has asked enough questions, round them up and answer them using the characters you selected beforehand, then post the answers.


All characters are from either Narnia, Merlin, or SPN.

HOLY CRAP PORN. PORN EVERYWHERE. You gasped and moaned at [livejournal.com profile] blindfold_spn. You're getting wet for multifandom Porn Battle X. ARE YOU READY FOR [community profile] spn_bitesized KINK MEME?

kink meme at spn_bitesized

Bring the muthafuckin noise, as long as the noise is UHHHH YEAAAHHH HARDER FASTER.

Okay, guys, let's talk spoilers.

S3 Merlin )

S6 Poopernatural )

I wish I knew more Merlin spoilers!

HOKAY. Second draft of my [livejournal.com profile] spnrarepairs is at beta, and I am 1.5 scenes away from finishing my [livejournal.com profile] castielfest fic. SO CLOSE. Relatedly (or not), I really need to update my fic masterlist...

Speaking of which. I churned out this bit of absurdity for [livejournal.com profile] maychorian's birthday couple of weeks ago. The prompt was: "God mojoed Cas up just a leeetle too much when He rezzed him, and now Castiel makes flowers and candy appear everywhere he walks." So, y'know.

Taste the Rainbow | post-S5 | Lisa, Castiel, Dean, Ben | 717 words
"Ben, honey, tell these misguided souls what we Braedens think of Swedish Fish."

I'm pretty sure I wrote a more commentfic here and there, but I can't quite recall where and what of. Did I commentfic at you at some point? It was just here a minute ago...

This is not the research I am looking for.

I was trawling through a Hetalia ficcer's LJ for Inglourious Basterds fic (as one does) and in one post she was like, "Guys, check out this Sacred-Texts.com! It's got books of blahblahblah and blahblahblah and also Enochian magic, so I am swooning geekily right now," and I'm like hey? 'Cos geeky swoons over Enochian stuff are up-and-coming in my world right now.

Through the magic of internet, I have turned a quest for WW2 AU slash into a trip through Angelology 101.

Consider yourself warned for gleeful appropriation and too much Wikipedia. )

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'!

Have you guys ever had a virus that refuses to let a laptop shut down? How about one that, when you click on a Google search result, takes you to an ad instead of the site? This just happens in Google, though. You end up having to copy the search result URL and pasting it into the address bar. The search results from other search engines click fine. So anyway, neither your malware scanner nor your regular virus scan can detect this virus, and you suspiciously can't install Windows Defender. And sometimes tabs would just open randomly with more ads.



Bring out your dancing shoes, IT department, you've got a date with my pig's feces of a laptop. DON'T STEP IN ANY, NOW.

The 3-sentence ficathon now has a delicious directory! And it's still going on and on and on! Narnia appears to be the most popular fandom by far, followed by... crossover, and then by STXI and Dr. Who. COME PLAY. Add more fandoms!

My 3-sentence fics in the following fandoms: Sailor Moon, Peter Pan/Star Trek, Ocean's 11, Skins, geometry )

And now for everyone's favorite game: 2 links and a YouTube embed!

1) Awesome or terrifying? Would you sleep in it?
2) There is a Merlin AU crackfic in here somewhere.
3) Live-action country village rendition of the opening credits of The Simpsons, by Estonia's TV3.


Burgeoning paranoia #439898: I have too many names! It's getting all mixed up! More than once now I have almost sent emails to my thesis advisor with, like, "love, [high school nickname]", or to a potential employer with "cheers, Lassiter", or to my professor with "love you, [boyfriend's pet name for me]". What is this, the revenge of my compartmentalized personae? One day this is going to happen, and it's going to be terrible and hilarious. D:

If you know of anywhere in New York where I can put my social science quantitative skills to work, you let me know omg. I need to find an opportunity that lets me volunteer/intern/work for 20+ hours a week for my OPT (Optional Practical Training, but the 'Optional' part is right now kind of a lie). Let me run a regression analysis on your data, baby. YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT. Let's you and I get serially correlated all night long!

...LOL J/K IT'S ACTUALLY TERRIBLE TO BE SERIALLY CORRELATED. Oh god. To prevent my head exploding from inoperable data sets, a post of Things:

* I'm sure by now everyone has seen the 'Merlin' Children in Need 2009 special. It's like someone sent them crackfic, saying, "Can you film this pretty please???" and they were like, "Oh what the hell, sure why not!!" Also, it is weirdly similar to that commentfic that [livejournal.com profile] katakokk and I wrote that one time. ETA2: ZOMG AU!Pudsey!Camelot Meme

* [livejournal.com profile] animus_wyrmis, remember the 'Merlin' extras meme we were talking about, with the servants and the guards etc? The Fleet is on top of that shit.

* An interesting article about the hazards of transitioning from fanfic to original fiction. Well, it's sort of a review of Cassandra Claire's 'Mortal Instruments' books, which I've never read, but it makes some salient points that give one food for thought. "Essentially City of Bones reads like fanfic - and I don't mean that as kneejerk indicator of poor quality, I mean that it reads like something constructed for a different purpose, functioning on a different ruleset. Leaving aside any criticisms of the actual style, this scene would probably work - for me - if I read it as fanfic."

* 'Merlin'-related things from my GReader that make me go 'fjlksdfj!': Angel and Bradley!! and KATIE AND ASA!!! <3333

* Wait wait wait. Katie McGrath AND Emilia Fox are both on 'The Queen'?! So I guess this is on my to-watch list now.

I suspect that's all I have to say for now. So, meme time! Respond to this post with a completely made-up memory of you and me.

ETA: God help me, I think I'm addicted to Fuck Yeah Merlin. All these pictures deserve fic: 1) MOTHERFUCKING PENDRAGONS; 2) What comes next in the story of their lives? Vaguely Edward Hopper-ish, no?; 3) Mordred is still crushing on Morgana and no one cares; 3) Uther passes on the sword; 4) Uther and the Lady Catrina take a breather from terrorizing the citizenry; 5) HOLY SHIT IT'S A MAP OF CAMELOT AND SURROUNDING REGIONS; 6) Arthur gets tetchy when he doesn't get his candy bar; 7) To no one's surprise, Merlin is a Death Cab fan; 8) Family photo!!; 9) Hanging with the guys!! <3333; and 10) I don't even know where to begin with this one.

There I was with 4800 words of fic when suddenly a saving malfunction changed my fic into 96 pages of those little boxes, you know which I mean. Ctrl+Z didn't work. Closing and reopening the document didn't work. Doing both of these several times with increasing desperation didn't work either, weirdly enough, and I was like


But apparently the reason I couldn't find my saved file was because it is now called ~WRL1074.tmp?? I mean, all 4800 words are still there hooray thank fuck, but I only found it 'cos I was clicking on every hidden file in my fic folder going OH PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE.

Well, that's taken care off. Onto more pleasant things!

HEY MERLARNIANS, remember that awesome drawing I recced of Edmund and Merlin being lovable? Weellllll, me and [livejournal.com profile] moment_of_sen got to commentficcing Edmund/Morgana, AS ONE DOES, and now there is corresponding art. IT'S LIKE 2008 ALL OVER AGAIN!! \o/ but EVEN BETTER because now CAN HAZ ART \o/ \o/ \o/ wheeeeee

[livejournal.com profile] angelqueen04 is hosting a Merlin Fic Battle. Even if you don't write anything you can still contribute oodles of prompts, as I did. Personally I hope someone writes this prompt: Merlin/The Office, Uther & Michael Scott: comparing notes. Perhaps one of you?!

Now I ramble about the recent episodes of 'Heroes', while being halfway through 'Brother's Keeper'. )

Also, I have a fic to post and it's not Merlin OR Narnia. Bizarre!

(did you believe it when i said i was going to be scarce around LJ these days? me neither.)
whynot: etc: oh deer (Default)
#1 - IN WHICH THERE IS A CONFESSION. When I started seeing the name Britomart around, I thought it was some sort of British convenience store or supermarket, and I thought, "Oh, maybe they are writing a crackfic AU! Perhaps a 'Clerks' fusion!"

Okay. I get it now.


#2 - IN WHICH I AM PERHAPS BEYOND HELP. So I was replying my way through a backlog of comments and I felt guilty for ignoring them for this long, but then I check the date on them and it's only been 5 days. It felt like longer. Going on the internet is like spending your time in an enchanted otherworld where you can shape things to your will and magical things happen everywhere, but then you go back to the real world (so-called) and find out that nothing's changed since you last left. Time in the other world is not like time in this world, and it's like all that stuff in the other world amounts to nothing here. But no, that can't be true, you tell yourself that can't be true.

So I guess that makes Aslan the dormitory's internet connection, because he is sometimes great and sometimes painful.

oh god i can't turn narnia off


#3 - In which [livejournal.com profile] merlin_xovers now offers a prompt table!

#4 - A WILL REC: Until We Run Out of Road by [livejournal.com profile] mariana_oconnor. Oh my god, you guys, this fic <33. Modern AU in which Merlin runs away on a road trip after Will's death, and is haunted anyway. Sort of.

#5 - This week's 'Merlin'! Some thoughts about the morally dubious physician of my heart. )

#6 - I still have to finish that 'seven days of joy' meme, and maybe post thoughts about 'Lucifer', but this post is kinda long already, so let's end it on a note of IN WHICH OASIS IS NOT QUITE DEAD. I recently downloaded their complete discography in a fit of nostalgia and oh maaaaannnnnn <33 <3 <333. There is nothing quite like the beloved crap music of your childhood and the assholes that sing it. I really like this YouTube playlist of an acoustic show that Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer did in Paris in 2006.

#6a - Tell me I'm not the only one who's ever wanted Liam Gallagher/Damon Albarn fic.

#6b - TELL ME LIAM GALLAGHER WILL FOLLOW THROUGH ON THESE RUMORS TO COLLABORATE WITH JAY-Z. WHAT. \o/
