HERE'S HOW IT HAPPENED

hipsters in space ruined my life
so I wrote fic about them doin it
but then they kissed on the show so I had to write more fic explaining how they got from the show to the fic
then I was like buhh??? because lol what is cut and paste and also a plot how do I make this be a story what is anything why are typeing
so I posted the pre-sex post-kiss bit in defeat
and forgot about all of it for two years
then shared it with my fellow life-ruinees
and one of them asked me to post the other part

so Jessica and Gillian p much, this is for you I'M SORRY I'm sorry these things just sort of happen

I wrote this 2.5 years ago I take no responsibility for anything

( I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE CUT TAGS WORK )

Still haven't seen The Good Wife or this week's Treme because I was uh moving to Pittsburgh that day. But now I'm here! I am here.

Current Mood: sleepy
Current Music: tropie telling me about college football tickets

I accidentally on purpose forgot to sign up for Kaleidoscope :( The fact that the writing period looks to be less than a month, while firmly sandwiched within Yuletide, and Avatar Ladyfest which is due a week beforehand and the story I've dreamed up is a doozy -- oh and P.S. I'm moving across the country -- something had to give.

Next year maybe! I hope the schedule will make more sense, and that Kaleidoscope can be in complement with Yuletide, not competition with it.

Trying to do more fannish stuff over here. It never really works on tumblr, because I have a mostly-fashion/art tumblr, so most of my followers are there for that and don't play with me, and the fannish ones are less aware of who I am~ as a fan. The other alternative is to have a dedicated fannish tumblr, which is an idea I've considered for many moons, but never quite appeals. BECAUSE! I ALREADY HAVE THIS! HELLOOOOO

(if I owe you a comment or response I haven't forgotten, I am just terrible at stuff)

So, let's play a game:

Pick a trope from this list and provide a fandom/pairing and I’ll tell you something about the story I’d write for that combination (i.e. write a snippet from the story or write not!fic or tell you the title and summary for the story I would write)

1. genderswap
2. bodyswap
3. drunk!fic
4. huddling for warmth
5. pretending to be married
6. secretly a virgin
7. amnesia
8. cross-dressing
9. forced to share a bed
10. truth or dare
11. historical AU
12. accidental-baby-acquisition
13. apocalypse fic
14. telepathy
15. High School/College AU

Current Mood: restless

August Television Because I Shunned All Else and Was Having a Hard Enough Time Focusing on TV

adventure time - all new eps & various rewatches as per usual

archer - first three episodes

avatar: the last airbender - all of season one and season two thru appa's lost days (rewatch)
cosmos - "one voice in the cosmic fugue"

don't trust the b in apt 23 - all of season one

fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood - episodes 35 thru 41

futurama - "fun on a bun" and half a rewatch of "i, roommate"

go on - pilot

gravity falls - all new episodes & several rewatches

green wing - episode one, 10 minutes of episode 2 to confirm I really just don't like green wing
invader zim - first bit of episode one

louie - season two episodes 4, 5, and 6

luther - eps 5 & 6 and season two 1 & 2 (rewatch)

pramface - episode one, ugh awful

ruby gloom - first five minutes of ep 1

the lizzie bennet diaries - all new episodes

the mighty b - first half of episode one

the mindy project - pilot

twin peaks - episodes 1 thru 6 (rewatch)

Oy gevalt.

Don't Trust The B in Apt 23, by the way, is a genuinely funny Bechdel-acing womance created by a queer woman of color. It's about a hardworking, innocent Midwesterner named June (Dreama Walker, who you may remember as Zach's evil girlfriend on The Good Wife) who moves to New York and becomes roommates with a chaotic neutral-edging-on-evil amoral conartist party troll named Chloe (Krysten Ritter, who you may know from that show we don't talk about or Breaking Bad), who is best friends with James van der Beek, who you may remember from being James van der Beek. (HE PLAYS HIMSELF AND IT IS GLORIOUS) Also the title comes from Robin (played by Liza Lapira who you may remember from Dexter or NCIS), the lady down the hall who doesn't so much think Chloe is a bitch as she's actually in love with her.

I didn't do Kaleidoscope (multimedia fanworks exchange for sources featuring POC characters created by POC; see

dark_agenda) last year but I'm pretty pumped for it this year. So! Lettuce brainstorm!

I am so totally nominating/requesting
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (already nominated) - Caroline Lee!!! I might save this for Yuletide because I may need fix-it fic when Caroline's sudden but inevitable betrayal pops up; but as my twitter friends know, I love Caroline and I love Caroline & Lizzie being friends and I just want to to last forever ;______________;
Kingdom of the Gods - N.K. Jemisin - Shahar Arameri (princess not matriarch). I DEFINITELY need fix-it fic for this one. I will prob also nominate Sieh and Glee Shoth cuz I liked her.
Princess Tutu - said I would for somebody before remembering that maybe the characters in Tutu are white?? IDK (yup, ineligible)

I am thinking about nominating these even though I don't have any requests in mind
The Earthseed duology - Octavia E. Butler
Slice of Cherry - Dia Reeves
Pariah
Pumzi

Plus...?!?!?1
PLANETES - !!!!!!!!!!
Luther - Idris Elba is a producer, so it might qualify. I would dig Erin fic so hard.
Ugly Betty - [shrug] I just saw a Betty icon and felt all nostalgic

Chromatic bbs who don't qualify and it makes me sad
Beasts of the Southern Wild - Yuletide here we come
Young Justice - Queerball Artemis & prickly sisterhood with Jade, forever in my heart :'(
Greek - Rebeccaaaaaa and Ashleeeeeeeigh

What about you guys? What am I missing? What qualifying media should I wolf down in the next week? (Unfortunately I'm in the midst of a Nalo Hopkinson and next on deck is NKJ's new duology, both of which I might wish to nominate, but will probably not have time to know before nominations end.)

P.S. ATLA LADYFESSSSSSSST oh geez :D????

Sure you would.

So, Dance Academy! That's a pretty good show. Australian teens + the high pressure world of professional dance training = basically early Grey's Anatomy-ish vibes (much more tolerable in actual teenagers than supposed adults) + Greek + lots of actual dance. Also, Asian male romantic lead + canon m/m + my current fav fictional girls. Thank u based Netflix Instant. #YULETIDE2012

I have a new DW layout and I love it. I love it. I want... to lick it... sh.

Media for May, a month in which I don't quite know what happened but surmise that I spent most of my time working, sleeping, or watching baseball:

BOOKS

blackout (mira grant)
most of the scarlet letter (nathaniel hawthorne) (reread) (finished today, shrug)
about a hundred more pages, the crimson petal and the white (michel faber)

parks and rec
scandal (all)

so tired

exits with panache

Current Mood: exhausted

just added a bunch of people to my mental health filter who I assumed were already on it, as if by magic, which is how I do most things, which might explain a lot about said things.

if you can see the post entitled "they want you or they don't" previous to this one, you're on it!

if you would like to be on it but are not, lemme know.

if you are on it but are made uncomfortable by being on it (it's okay, i know other people's stuff can be triggery or boring), also lemme know.

a+ to everyone involved.

p.s. love meme!

the voice (one and a half elimination eps before i realized i didn't care)

Relevant to yesterday's complaints, long interview with Robert & Michelle King of The Good Wife wherein they half-assedly admit/explain a bunch of the season's faults yet somehow manage to act like they couldn't help it ("it was the situation!" Yes.... the situation that YOU DECIDED UPON AND WROTE, geniuses.) Sideye.

Current Mood: lazy
Current Music: please and thank you

I actually really liked the finale but I need to complain a little bit about The Good Wife's third season as a whole before I can move on with my life.

( btw it's APRIL how are shows ending already wtf )

Current Mood: mischievous

I've been thinking about making this post for a while and I guess I should just get it over with already. As Korra begins in earnest, I'm realizing that internet structures as well as my social circles have changed a great deal since the last time I was part of a productive, ongoing, popular fandom. That means a) not all of my old strategies for dealing with fandom are going to work anymore and b) not all my friends know what my deal is. My deal is that I have some non-negotiable fannish limits.

Oh, I promised opinions.

Korra: ( a brief thought on worldbuilding/politics, spoilers for 'Welcome to Republic City' )

And The Hunger Games: ( not movie related; I'm not even going there )

HOPE U ENJOYED

Current Mood: bored
Current Location: the peedeck

FILM! AT! ELEVEN!!!!

Pretty much everybody whose Doctor Who opinions I respect and agree with have come out in a strong voice to condemn... people who wanted the new companion to be a dude. Everything about the choice of new companion is uninspired and problematic and boring, they agree, but ~at least~ it's not a man! Y WOULD U EVEN ZOMG

I take issue with this.

( at length )

whatttt is this post, I also have opinions about Korra worldbuilding + politics and lots of Hunger Games grump (STOP TALKING ABOUT BATTLE ROYALE is the logline there, plus my recurrent dissatisfaction that I never wrote a real review of all my issues but ranted them out loud at poor Carrie because she was... in my bedroom at the time) but I accidentally a whole post and now I need to sleep. Damn the wheel of the world. Goodbye 4ever.

Femslash committed in February, too lazy to collate THEY'RE RIGHT THERE ON THE TAG:

Deryn/Lilit, Leviathan series
Sugar/Agnes, The Crimson Petal and the White
Astrid/Astrid, Fringe
Fionna/Bubblegum (art), Adventure Time
Marceline/Bubblegum (art), Adventure Time
Betty/Gladys, Bomb Girls
Ann/Elizabeth, Parks & Rec
and this beginning scrap of Jess/Julia, New Girl that wishes it could grow into a real story if only its writer were a writer and not a floppy jelly person with no focus or organization or drive:

( 361 words )

So that is... 3059 words in six fandoms and four complete ficlets plus two maybe-wips. headdesk. FEMSLASHUARY, EVERYBODY. #ITSAPROCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Current Mood: see icon; sing song

Welllll, I don't really know. This story is part of a much longer and collaborative-with-

tropiavera 'verse, I think, but I'm not sure how to go about making such a thing. For now I'm just gonna settle on doing it piecemeal WIP-style, and nothing counts for real until I put it on AO3. Yes?

Parks and Recreation, Ann/Elizabeth (Leslie's ex campaign manager)
continued from this, at the request of

( G, ~440 more words )

Current Mood: tired

I've been unproductive these last two days. It's like Femslashuary means nothing at all! No good, no good.

So when I watched the Bomb Girls finale FINALLY and this came, I had to do its bidding. No other choice. Not in good conscience.

Betty/Gladys, Bomb Girls (spoilers thru 1.06)
warning: infidelity? i guess?

( PG, 702 words )

After writing for the first three days of Femslashuary and feeling pressured to produce something postable before midnight, I decided to shift my goals a little bit to include a) fanart and b) process. So this is actually something I started months ago, as a thank you to Imogen for helping me with something, and worked on coloring over the past three days.

Adventure Time, Marceline/Bubblegum

( totes safe for work art under the cut )

P.S. If you're not familiar with the canon, this 11 minute episode is all you need to see (to understand this art, anyway. I recommend the show!)

Current Mood: annoyed

This was a really quick one (midnight cometh). I might come back and try again later.

Astrid(/Astrid), Fringe (spoilers thru tonight's ep)
