Wish List
Step One
- Make a post (public, friends locked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for ( Read more... ) -
Odd Happening (Part VI)
My NaNo slowly grinds onward. Here is part 6 in which Kate and Alex try to be civil.
Alex narrowed his eyes as Kate walked into the fast food Italian place, her ridiculous bag thrown over her shoulder, crossing her chest. When she saw him, she gave a hesitant, then determined smile and walked over to his table. She lifted the bag over her head and ( Read more... ) -
Odd Happening (Part V)
Herein we learn about Grace's crush and Quen has another dream. Also, Alex is having a bad day.
Grace followed Michael out of the restaurant. He glanced back at her once, but didn't say anything, which Grace took as permission to continue trailing after him. Daniel and Emily went off on their own, talking out movies and dates. Grace was happy for ( Read more... ) -
Dear Yuletide Author
My dear Yuletide Author,
In this letter I'll try to explain what I like and give a few extra specifics about my requests. The first thing that I should probably say is that I like fun. Warm fuzzies make me feel uncomfortable and I have very little patience for angst. I like fun, sly, creative, zany, realistic, and inventive stories. The more you ( Read more... ) -
Odd Happening (Part IV)
Today I hit 12k. Very happy about this.
Herein learn some of Daniel's thoughts about his relationship with Emily, the need for decent food, and what the Gathering of Ravens means for the group and their search for the latent power on campus.
“Eek!” she said. “I have class. I forgot. Crap. Tell Neil I was here?”
“Sure thing. See you around, Katie.”

An Odd Thing (Part III)
Claiming humanity first had its advantages, chiefly being that it meant they retained their rights. It also appeased the secret power nodes among those with influence as well, who were angry enough already over the now-decades old decision for the Ravens to reveal themselves. Now, though--
Michael closed his eyes, reviewing the events mentally, ( Read more... ) -
An Odd Thing (Part II)
The second part to this story I'm apparently writing. Wish me luck on finishing!
A few moments later, Kate brought back the two drinks, her plate balanced on top of them. Emily reached up and grabbed the plate and fork.
“Thanks.” Kate placed the drinks down on the table and sat down. She sipped the drink, her eyes widening as she did. “This is ( Read more... ) -
An Odd Thing Happened....
I'm not doing NaNoWriMo. I mean, if I were, I'd need at least 4000 words done by today and then would have to do 2000 words every night for the rest of this month. That's a lot. So I'm not necessarily doing it.
I do have those 4000 words though. In fact, I have 5,000.
“You give me leave to be bold?” the girl asked, the antiquated phrase soft on ( Read more... ) -
Under the Sun (Chiaki's pov)
Chiaki Shinichi contemplated the bottle on his desk. Too early for a drink. Really. He spun his chair to face away and leaned backward against the desk. His violin case reproached him from a dark corner. He rubbed a hand over his face and glanced up at the clock. In an hour he could close, leave, get drunk, and pretend that this wasn't his life.

Under the Sun (Nodame Cantabile; AU)
This story supposes that Chiaki made it back to his apartment that very first night, that he never met Nodame. Then, instead of going to Tanioka-sensei, he drops out of the school. He can study music on his own, besides, the school isn't even teaching him what he really wants to know. As he suggested to Saiko, he starts working in a music store and ( Read more... )
