The overtly personal content of this journal is, and shall remain, friends-only.

What little fic there may be will be readily available to the public (and is archived here).

okay, so that was a whopper. here in virginia, pretty close to the epicenter and kind of scary. (also, in aftermath: kind of cool.) but we're all okay.

I understand not wanting to rejoice in the death of a human being, no matter how vile he may have been. However, I find condemning the reactions of those who do find cause for celebration - many of whom have been very, very directly impacted by the events of the last decade - to be even more crass than the celebrations themselves.

You are free to be critical of of events, reactions, and coverage. But please consider your wording when dealing with what is a loaded, highly personal issue for many.

If you have a problem with that, you are free to de-friend me. I won't take it personally.

does anybody know where lemniciate has gone?? i was just talking to her about wonderful fic stuff the other day, and now she is bah-leeted?? D:

So the Merlin comment-fic is still going strong, and hopefully I will have a few more things to contribute to it by the end of the weekend. I am kind of nursing a hangover at the moment, and every soda I touch still tastes like vodka to me (yeuch) but I just wanted you to know that you are awesome and I adore you all. ♥

In no way should you interpret this post as an indicator that I am bored (so terribly bored) at work. Nope. Not in the least.

However, for some ineffable reason that has nothing to do with boredom, I am seeking the goodwill (and perviness) of the internets to help entertain me - and each other! With Merlin comment fic. Most of you know the rules to this sort of game by now, but in case you don't, they're pretty straightforward: Have a prompt? Leave a prompt! Need a prompt? Take a prompt!

This entry has been left public so you may link others to it. All familiar with the fandom and the Big Gay Slash Dragon are welcome to participate.



Let the games begin!

it is almost midnight and i have to work tomorrow but i could not go to bed, dear internets, without telling you that i spent almost all of today reading goddess of yesterday by caroline b. cooney and i just. it is so amazing. i am flailing in ridiculous fanboy glee.

i am still 50 pages from the end and i think i would like to stay 50 pages from the end forever because i cannot bare for it to be over.

i am also kind of aching in my heart because this is outside the genre that cooney generally writes, and it's just a oneshot, so when it's over it's over, but i am so in love with this book. i want to cherish it and marry it and love it forever.

i have not really read books on like, a regular basis in a very long time. man, what a treat to come back to. this is already on my list of top 5 favorites ever.

does dreamwidth still use invite codes? because if so, i have seven, and since no one was interested in "claiming" any of them last time, i'm just posting them here publicly for any who may need. feel free to link to this if you know someone who's in want/need - and please let me know if you use one so i can cross it off the list.

the codes are:

I know the internets are a small place and a number of you run in similar circles as I. However, if you haven't already come across this, I'm asking you to please make a pledge to contribute (if you're able) to mithrigil and rm's current project. Their recently-founded production company has received a matching grant from Kickstarter to produce the musical Dogboy and Justine. However, it is contingent on them raising $6,000 by the 21st of the month.

They are almost there! They have done a fabulous job, but they still need about $1,000 to go.

mithrigil has more details available here.

As well as a more in-depth outline of the project (and the donate links) here at the official Kickstarter page.

Please feel free to re-circulate as desired.

... Did Vampire Diaries just hang the lampshade, subvert genre conventions, and take a dig at Twilight all in the same five seconds?

I don't think it's possible for me to love this show any more than I already do.
