the history book on the shelf

solitaryone (Alphard Black) has been finished and submitted. And I held Salazar Slytherin because he is a muse that has tickled my brain on occasion, and I am absolutely insane enough to try it. Ohai, tendency to take people that have been talked up into a larger than life evil figure and make them a real person, nice to see you haven't gone anywhere.

I also currently have two holds on at streamtrek. One is for a less than savory SCONE Trainee gambler/thief/seductress that uses her feminine wiles, superior deception skills, and a few items of game influenced weaponry in order to make her mark. And the other is a mecha-archer/huntress type that had been living in the forests of Belgium with her kinsmen trying to continue the legacy the dying feudal noble society before being tapped by TEACUP.

Now, all I have to do is find time to write these up.

1) Those of you in earthsmightiest that haven't checked your friendspage in the past few days, I posted the first two narratives of the prologue. There's also an OOC note for you guys as well.

2) Earth's Mightiest still has a butt-ton of characters that I'd love to see get played. Once again, it's a really accessible Classic Avengers game with street heroes and Young Avengers thrown in for good measure. Check it out, or tell people who might be interested to check it out.. I'll be your best friend*!

3) I've kinda been doing RPWRIMO, but not in an official capacity. I'm just trying to do more writing (narratives!) in general. I should probably do more logs, since I haven't really been doing that lately. So this is my solicitation for that if anyone wanted my characters for anything. I have some scenes lined up, but not too many, particularly in Neopolis.



* I won't actually be your best friend, just a good one

Games:
The Colony as Alice Munroe

Supernatural:
Castiel/OFC (Penny) - pending storyline.  Potentially during the alternate universe of the Croatoan Virus.
Jo/OMC (Jay), OMC (Chase) - Roadhouse Redux, aka Jo as a Hunter.  Written before S5 began, currently on hiatus until further notice.
Sam/Jo - for_naught/jbhrvelleSpanning end of season 3 to current (possibly straying to AU).  Jo and Sam reconnect after Dean's death, though for how long and how deep?
Sam/Sarah - Alternate universe where John did not make the deal and he and Sam destroyed Azazel.  Sarah is now a supplier of supernatural relics for hunters in demand, in addition to her continued career as an art dealer.  Sam meets up with her in the midst of dealing with a cursed ring.

Original:
Hunter O'Connell/Edith Silver - Werewolf storyline, circa World War I.  Hunter is just a poor boy trying to escape a dangerous past, and Edith just manages to find herself stuck in the thick of it.

Doctor Who/Firefly Crossover:
Doc X/River Tam - A Cyberman has accidentally found himself on a small mining town of a planet. He holes up in an underground bunker and starts issuing orders, claiming to be a member of some industry. His plan is to get the proper materials to set up a comm link to report his location and whatnot to the rest of the Cybermen--and, as the technology of the Firefly 'verse is less than theirs, to conquer it.

Group PSLs:
Supernatural as Sam Winchester
Firefly as Mal Reynold

Wow, I've been gone a bit. Thought I think I might have got myself writing again.

For instance, I have the next part of Gracious almost done. Just need to finish up the last little bit and get it beta'd, and it'll be good to go. Also writing a Mercverse fic. Already 5200 words in on that. Plan on having it all done and beta'd before I start posting it, however.

Anyone remember either of those stories/AUs?

Roles for filling:
Sam Winchester
Dean Winchester
Castiel

Optional Fills
Bobby
John Winchester
Jo Harvelle
Ellen Harvelle

We could all discuss potential plots together in group chats and possibly start a small community to house the collaborative work.

Inquiries include:
Myself (manymuses) as Sam and/or Castiel, and possibly Bobby
pseudolife as an original female character (angel, demon, or hunter)
werewolf_girl as Dean

Mal manymuses
Zoe notallaresaved
Wash
Kaylee

If we were to run from post Season 1 to Serenity, we'd have plenty of time to spare, and Book could have possibly gone on to settle on Persephone for his colony. However, if someone's very interested in playing Book, do let me know.

I've had inquiries from the following people concerning roles:
I will possibly be doubling with Kaylee

( asdkjsd I am so, so tired now. :| )

Look, it's more Logan Marshall-Green! I swore i was done, but in doing the last two episodes of Dark Blue that I had to do, Mr. Muppet Face had some more lovely expressions that i just couldn't resist. So small set here, but I had to do it.

Nicky Aycox from Dark Blue, FINALLY. I've been working on finishing out a decent set of her for ages, but I needed to get a few specific episodes done to get it complete. Standard Dark Blue disclaimers of course (there are some odd ones, from before I got the colorations better figured out, too). She was around 23-24 when these episodes were filmed.

i caved. so many of my fave people are apping this game. gotta do it.

( here lie two potentials )

Meta Golding, from Dark Blue. Someday I will be a completist and go find photoshoots to do as well, but for now, this small set will have to do. She has no age listing on IMDB so I'll go with guessing 20s, MAYBE early 30s (but I doubt it).

Dylan McDermott was roughly 38 when these episodes were filmed. Again, please excuse some really interesting colour palettes!

I hate iconning Dark Blue, and yet, I continue to do it. Please excuse some really strange colouration, but I've done my best to fix where I can. Omari Hardwick doesn't have a lot of facial expressions, but everyone once in a while he hits paydirt. He was 25ish when these episodes were filmed.

download it, but please buy it in march!

Lol I've been meaning to do a post-Powerswap post like... ALL WEEK. But whatever, this is totes more important.

( Chugga chugga choo choo! )

Took yesterday off from NaNo because of traveling to go see TAI... with eternaleponine. So I had been spending some time trying to get ahead during the week (considering I took Wednesday off as well, that was a trick and a half!). I went straight from CT to a write-in at Brueggers without going home.

The write-in was a new experience for me. I was there for about 2 1/2 hours, and I was social for part of it. I ended up having to put my headphones in so I could actually crank out wordcount. Everyone was talking a lot, which was good and nice to talk to other people who were doing the same crazy thing, but I just had a lot of trouble focusing. And I really needed to make wordcount while I was there since once I came home I knew it wasn't happening.

Anyway, I ended up making over 2600 words today, which got me to just barely over target for the day. So yay!

11813 / 50000 words. 24% done!

My snippet for the day isn't a story quote at all, but the note I had to leave for myself when I mentally bailed on writing a fight:
[Insert battle here later when you can think. Cat jumps in, takes off one of the critters and shakes it up, ripping it apart. Jack shoots the other one. Shayne ends up injured with a long scratch down her shoulder]

Maybe spending all that time with middle schoolers has reverted me back to wanting nostalgic food things from my childhood, which consist of:

+Hamburger helper (I finally bought milk so I can make Stroganoff and Cheeseburger Macaroni. Booyah)
+White mystery Airheads (I have NO IDEA where I can find these)
+Caramel apple pops (Which I have a box of now and am going to go into a sugar coma this weekend if I keep eating them. Thanks Angeline!)
+Congee. Srsly. I need to get the recipe from my mom.
+Boxed mac n cheese with cut up hot dogs. I am SO MAKING THIS when I run out of proper gourmet things I should be eating.
+Tostino's frozen pizza. With the thin crust. In the red box. I seriously lived off of these as a kid and now I still can't get rid of my affinity for them.
+These non-existent Lifesaver drinks that no one remembers but me. They say they were released in the 80s but I totally remember them being around when i was 6 or 7, which was mid 90s. It was like sugar water but damn it was good. And I was obsessed with getting one.
+Bubblicious Peach Mango gum.

...I'm sure there's more if I think about it, but alas, I am such a nostalgia whore.

+Clean apartment
+Grocery shopping
+Finish Hurricane Katrina paper outline; email group members
+Start Pandemic Public Law paper
+Start findings brief - prelim research on sexual attitudes index
+Read through climate change white paper draft - add in Colorado policy information

Amazingly, that list is all that stands in the way before the semester is over, minus tackling Thanksgiving dinner this year. Thank GAWD this semester is almost over.
