Fans rule
Found this via AfterEllen.com. The sound of the Loving Annabelle trailer laid over clips from the cartoon Kim Possible. Genius.

Squee
ralst archived my story Negotiation at P&P, without my even having to submit it. I now have two stories on the site, one of which is under a different screen name (from a now-defunct LJ and a different phase in my fandom life ( Read more... ) -
Recs from the MiS ficathon
Yesterday I talked about being a writer in a ficathon for the first time. That means it was also my first time contributing a prompt and having a story written "for" me. That was interesting as well, because I purposely contributed wide-open prompts that could be interpreted in any number of ways. My prompt "packing" generated Knickers on the ( Read more... ) -
Ficathon results
So, my ficathon story, Negotiation -- written mostly last night and finished off around noon today, after a number of stories had already been posted -- turned out OK. Not the best I could have done, if I'd devoted more time to it. I think my initial response to the prompts I was assigned set the tone for the whole process, and basically, I didn't ( Read more... ) -
Panic time
Guess what? The ashscribbs ficathon deadline is TOMORROW and I haven't finished my story. Realizing this yesterday morning as I left for work, and knowing I wouldn't be home till late last night, I peppered my apartment with post-it notes. (Blank, but I know what they mean.) (It only took a few to cover the whole place. It's not a big apartment.) Now I've ( Read more... ) -
One lonely rec and some blathering
I have not been online all week, which I think is a new record for me, but it was very nice to come back this evening to Nice Girls Don't by somniesperus (The Devil Wears Prada, Andy/Miranda) via femslash_today. Again, I'm not overly attached to this pairing or fandom but something in the writing compels me to like it.
Last weekend I got 1200 words into my ashscribbs ficathon story ( Read more... ) -
Recent reads (uber-Xena)
ralst asked for recs of long stories, and mindwalker78 offered up a pile, which led me to the following:
Meridio's Daughter by LJ Maas -- Lots of sex. Which I have to admit is a nice change of pace from the fluff-dominated world of MiS. Oh, this story has plot and stuff too, but honestly, what I'll remember about it is the sex.
Malicious Pursuit by KG MacGregor ( Read more... ) -
Misc. recs
Fess up! by the_girl_20 is a short Ash/Scribbs piece that had me laughing out loud. Spot-on characterization and brilliant little plot.
On the other side of the coin, Jungle Fever by Nordica (a.k.a. Nique Bartok) is a wonderfully long Maca/Esther (Hospital Central) story that I'm re-reading. The first time through I had seen like one clip of the show, but ( Read more... ) -
Effing Movie Maker!
I've been working for hours on an MiS vid (topic: what if Ash and Scribbs made a video to tell people what their show was about?) but the bloody program has started crashing on me every ten seconds. I've lost patience. I'll try and pick it up again tomorrow.
I have not written a word all week, which is very bad, but I have outlined my ashscribbs ficathon ( Read more... ) -
Update: Sooner or Later (MiS fic series)
The second chapter of the latest installment is up at ashscribbs. I had intended to wait until the whole story was done, but it's turning out much longer than I planned. I was stalled for a while on the issue of "casting" a character -- I always have to have someone in mind, an actor or whatever, for each person I'm writing -- but I've since solved that ( Read more... )
