A meme, to help me get back to writing. Borrowed from littlemissgriff.

1. Give me a character or pairing 
2. Give me a text from last night.
3. I'll write you a drabble or ficlet based on the scenario.

Fandoms: Pierce (any); Star Trek: TNG; Doctor Who 2005 to present; Torchwood S1-3; Buffy; Firefly.

I don't promise reliability here, but it sounds like fun. Hit me!

So, about this LJ HTML editor update....

Is anyone else ready to pull their hair out?

Mostly I write entries in rich text, then edit in HTML if I need to. The update, though. Firefox spellcheck no longer works in rich text mode (though it's there in HTML). And more to the point, line breaks are fucked. If I edit an already-posted entry, all the line/ ( Read more... )

All my respect to Naomi Dunford of IttyBiz.com.

She's getting some serious crap from a couple of hate bloggers and their supporters, and she has this to say about it:

"These people are planning a hate crime, and they are relying on me hiding in silence to succeed.
And, yes. I will hide. But I will not be silenced.

I have devoted my life to making ( Read more... )

From q_sama. This was fun!

The one who seduced you, screwed you over, broke your heart into a million pieces, and laughed about it Daria.

The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Lemme just point to gabrielleabelle's fabulous post on this topic over here.

My friends have a puppy who's about 16 weeks old and weighs 5.5 lb. He's a mutt who looks a bit like a chihuahua and a bit like a shiba inu, and he's gained about half a pound in the 3-4 weeks they've had him. I have very little experience with puppies that young, and none at all with toy dogs. Does anyone have a guess at how big he's likely to get

Watching a TNG episode called "Coming of Age," in which Wesley Crusher undergoes an Ordeal of Knighthood psych test in which he must face his deepest fears and Captain Picard is offered the position of Training Master Director of Star Fleet Academy.

I need an icon that just says, "fangirl cackle."

As many of you already know, I've resigned from moderating at Goldenlake. I haven't been on the board that much recently, and I'm really feeling the shortness of time, the long hours I'm working, and so many places (fandom and not) I'd like to direct whatever energy remains. I'm not leaving Pierce fandom entirely, and I'm sure I'll wander on over ( Read more... )

Recipe! I make pasta salads a lot in summer, usually without a recipe, but this one is so good I have to write it down so I can remember to make it again.

• 2/3 lb. small pasta (raw weight)
• 1 lb. cooked black beans (1 can, in this case)
• 1-2 cups diced bell peppers
• 1 cup green beans, cut up (sliced zucchini would also work)
• 4 or so scallions, sliced

Typically, as soon as I write about how I can't seem to write anything, I unblock myself where the writing of fiction is concerned. I'm now three pieces into the story of Aniki leaving her home in Scanra and meeting up with Kora and Rosto. Win.
