Five Years!

Apr 04, 2011 22:27

So there was an attack on LJ on my 5th year anniversary. Seems a little ominous, don't you think?

Five years ago today, I posted my very first fic. Actually I posted three. (One of the few times I've ever posted multiple times in one day.) At first, this was nothing but a place where I dumped my West Wing fic, but little by little I started Read more... )

it happens every year, life offline, quaggy is a geek, be wary of bored writers

Happy LJ Birthday, Quags!

So how do I celebrate? Well, it seemed appropriate to go back to how this all began... with fic.

This is an excellent idea. :D

Do you do Hunger Games at all? Katniss/Gale? I'm horrible at prompts, but making out in the woods would be nice. ;-)

Oh, man. I started it yesterday and haven't gotten very far. (Been a little distracted.) I'm not sure who I'll be shipping, but I'll get your drabble if you don't mind waiting!

Want to give me another one in the meantime? (Please no PoC! I only watched the first one so I don't think I can pull off Jack/Elizabeth.)

Hee! No Pirates, check. :D

Um....trying to think what fandoms I have that you might know! James and Alesha on Law & Order: UK? Auggie on Covert Affairs? NCIS?

Sigh. I haven't seen ANY of those, though Covert Affairs is at least on my radar because I like Christopher Gorham. (BTW, please tell me that they don't actually refer to her work cover as the "Smithsonian Museum" on the show!! That's worse than the Smithsonian Institute!!)

Let's see fandoms we might have in common... White Collar? Ugly Betty? Have you seen SciFi's Alice and fallen for Alice/Hatter yet? Well, there's always West Wing. And I probably could pull off Spock/Uhura, even though the movie has been languishing in my Netflix cue forever.

Ooh, my five-year is coming up in a couple weeks!!! Thanks for the reminder. Wow...

You don't have to write me nothin, girl! Unless you feel like writing Life or something. Or link me to some Life you like.

Now, why WOULDN'T I feel like writing Life fic, especially if it's for my Mary! You want to give me a prompt? It's easier for me to come up with an idea if I have a word or two to spring off of.

P.S. You've read the Life fic I've already posted, right? Three drabbles and a more drabbley one-shot. Just checking. It would suck if you never saw them because I was being all humble. :-P

Happy Anniversary!:)

This is a wonderful idea. Am I still in time to request demand a drabble? :D

Yay! :)

I have two choices here. Please pick whichever suits you fine.

LwD - Trevor(the goth guy)/Emily - pink puffeskins
or
Sam/Emily - salad days.
If these dont work for you, anything LwD will do. :)

Hmmm, interesting! If the pairings don't work for me (though I have no idea why they wouldn't), I'll use the prompts with Derek/Casey instead. If that's okay with you. :-)

One question. Would "pink pygmy puff" be an acceptable substitute? 'Cause my mind immediately went there and I can't seem to get it to move on!

Since you always give me some of the best prompts ever, you can prompt me anytime. You know I'm going to be using both these prompts, right? :-)

So, if I'm doing Avatar for you, that means it can't be Katara/Zuko, right? (Yes, I already know the answer to that. I was just checking.)

I can appreciate K/Z when it's written well - so don't censor yourself on my account :)

Yeay! Though, with a prompt like "iron maiden", it's going to have to be about Toph! :-)
