As you may have noticed, I failed miserably after I announced my personal challenge.  It turns out drabbles are really hard to just whip out.  Not quality ones anyway.  And around the same time, I got hooked (haha, pun) on crocheting (again).  I've been crocheting like crazy and now have painful shoulders to show for it.  NOT THAT IT MATTERS ( Read more... )

Whee!  Another drabble from my White Lilac verse.  That prompt spawned a monster, I swear.  This a drabble a day thing is so much harder than I expected.  Everything I have an idea for is so much longer than 100 words.  I'm trying to cut things down but I still feel like it's too much of a snippet rather than a drabble, though that might just be my ( Read more... )

I was going to watch Iron Man 3 today, but it wasn't playing at the small theatre we wanted to walk to, so we watched The Big Wedding instead.  And it was awesome.  It was a romantic comedy so I was fully prepared for sappy corniness, but it was funny and quirky and had a lot of crass jokes.  The focus was on the parents of the young couple getting ( Read more... )

I've been reading like crazy lately.  I recently got into reading ebooks, and the first series I decided to try out was The Iron Druid Chronicles.  Big Mistake.  The books were a fun, easy read and I could not, for the life of me, put them down.  So awesome.  Today I'm reading The Thirteen Hallows and I'm almost done already.  I missed reading for ( Read more... )

First drabble for the month of May.  =)

Prompt: none
Fandom: WeiB Kreuz
Pairings: Gen
Words: 102Schuldig surveyed the carnage and let out an impressed whistle.   Thick red covered everything.  Even the ceiling was splattered, and globs of it slowly made its way down the wall ( Read more... )

Oops, almost forgot about my drabble a day practice thing I'm doing.  Here is the second drabble, which is actually a pair with the one from yesterday and probably should be read together.  *sigh* I guess I really have to work on my proposal now.

Oh hey look, someone was too excited and already wrote a drabble today. Well, I'm definitely rusty, it took me so much longer than necessary to put the words down even after I got the idea. I got a prompt from a friend and holy crap my mind went to town. I think I must've spent almost three hours researching? Not that any of it got through to the ( Read more... )

Just spent 2 days reading drabbles. What a wonderful time it is to be done classes. There are still loose ends to tie up administrative-wise and my proposal is never-ending, but hey, that's 80% of my workload gone. And seriously?

I fucking love drabbles. 100 words to paint a scene, build a world, break your heart. Like a 100-word tip of a ( Read more... )

Feedback. No matter how constructive and helpful it is, it still sucks to get criticism. I know it doesn't mean I'm a bad person yada yada, it still hurts for some reason. I really need to get thicker skin. I wonder how other people do this. =/

Wow, it's been a while, eh? I can see the thick layer of dust all over this journal. I wasn't going to start posting here again, six years has been a long time. Too long. I think I've changed enough for three lifetimes. But the one thing that I'm starting to realize doesn't change, is my love for fandom and fiction. I've been combing the ( Read more... )
