Gen Challenge

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?

I hate housecleaning. *glares balefully at the embarrassing portions of her bedroom*

We're having a party in about ten minutes. We're using the opportunity to wear costumes because we missed trick-or-treating due to 'flu. So Malcolm's a water molecule, Merlin's the Blue Screen of Death (this being a boy who's never used Windows) and Matisse and I are 1950s instructional video characters. Turns out, related to that, that my hair doesn't do pin curls. That's why I'm being the bad example, with wrinkly socks and a stained skirt and a partially-untucked shirt, in contrast to my neat and clean sister. Dad's being Inigo Montoya, and Mum's... Mum. Hopefully pictures will be forthcoming.

Particularly when there is quite literally nothing to cry about.

For the latest SPN. I am now barely able to contain myself while I wait for the download to finish downloading (and then I'll have to wait until tonight to watch it; woe!).

I am a bad person in that I want to write PR apocafic so I can title it "The Lone Ranger". I am a worse person in that this idea was originally, "I wish there was an Autobot who transformed into a Ford Ranger, so I could call a fic..."

In spite of all of this, I kind of want to cry. No, there is no particular reason, aside from my brain being a very fucked up place. Work should be all KINDS of fun today. :P

I beat the game! 8'D As in, True Demon Ending beat the game. *fists in air*

Aaaand to celebrate, a drabble. ^__^

5000 / 50000 words. 10% done!

I'm behind on my word count still but I got 2,000 words typed for it already and I'll be getting more done soon. I hope.

I finished my late fandom obligation which finally when I only had 100 words left to type, I finally knew what I wanted to write so someday soon I'll have to finish that but I have other fandom obligations ready to type. So... it'll have to wait now that I posted the rough draft.

I've got a fic rough draft due tomorrow that's gone from 0 words to 1,000 words. I've only got 4,000 words left to write. And I've got more caffeine, guarana, ginseng, B vitamins and other goodness in me than I know what to do with.

I have two more fest fics in various states of doneness that need to be typed and finished.

Off I go to strain my wrists as much as I strained my legs yesterday. Ian and I took a four mile walk to his work and back. My legs are still sore although we did do our usual bare minimum walk this morning.

My eyes are blurry and I'm energized tired but I'm going to keep swimming.

Title: Only Forever: An Underground Gallifreyan Fairy Tale

Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romance/Humor
Word Count: 5,244 (And incomplete)
Summary: After Jackie wishes a teenage Rose away, Rose gets a second childhood with the King of the Goblins, Jareth and Sarah Williams. At her second sixteenth birthday Rose meets the Doctor and the two of them connect. But Jareth doesn't approve and the Master wants revenge.

It's also incomplete. I have more ideas for what I'll be writing but I finally got it to 5,000 words and I want to get it posted.
Feedback: Please! I could use some thoughts on what I should improve when I edit this and add more chapters. Also just one comment keeps me writing. *Looks cute and mostly harmless*

( The last thing she expected was a man who looked like David Bowie, with wild blond spiky hair that looked like he was from the 80's, with eye glitter wearing a pair of tights, in which you could see either his assets or a sock, and wearing a poets shirt with frilly sleeves. Grabbing her glass she prepared to lob it at the intruder even as she screamed,  )

Adorable baby bat.

From episode 27 ( behind the cut: )

I swear, it's like they hired the SGU writers or something. Though at least we have Dr K to be completely unimpressed by him.

I decided to catch up on Power Rangers RPM last night (because I ran out of SPD episodes), which means I have just now seen episode 22, "The Dome Dolls".

You know what I was expecting? Dolls. You know, like the thing Bugglesworth did in SPD? I was not expecting the title to refer to the show's women.

Yes. That's right. It was called "The Dome Dolls" because the women were running things in the dome while the men were unconscious. ::headdesks self into unconsciousness::

( Wakes up and cuts to spare you a small rant. )
Apparently, there are like five women in all of Corinth. And Vasquez is the only woman in the whole wide military. And let's not forget Ziggy waxing extra creepy when they were going to release the antidote city-wide: "With all the men asleep, this city's going to be crawling with chicks, eh? It's gonna be like shooting fish in a barrel!"

Edit: The episode can be found here should anyone want to headdesk themselves into oblivion.

Edit 2: You know what would have worked better? If, by liberal application of Handwavium, Dr K, Summer, Gemma, and Vasquez had been the only people awake in the dome, period. Because four people trying to hold the city's defenses? THAT is a worth-while reason to freak out, without the overtones of "OH NOES, what will we do without the MENZ!" (This thought brought to you by the fact that Vasquez all alone in the Command Center really was kind of creepy. That place is meant to be bustling.)

None of this is making me less bitter about our only female Red being evil, guys.

*I like Hicks, actually, but yes, I have resented him every time he's shown up and Vasquez hasn't.

Didn't happen.

Between endless meetings at work, then the doctor, then crashing and dying once I got home, I'm afraid I didn't write a single word.

Ah well. Yesterday is over. Onward and upward.

Numbers so far indicate we've lost Maine. Washington looking more promising but too early to tell. My dad came into my room turning the air blue over Maine -- he doesn't swear much, but he was pissed off. Me, I'm just cynical at this point.

I switched to Arch, which looks like the right level of minimalism for my main machine -- I'll revisit Gentoo when I've got a vacation to set it up in and/or a shiny new system to break (I want a cheapo computer for playing with, but I feel I shouldn't buy one for a while.)

In other news, I'm fed up with casual misogyny in geek circles.

\o/ Except none of that was actually written today. Yep, I totally slacked off and watched Paranormal Activity instead. Go, me! Oh well. I'm off tomorrow so I guess I can just play catch up with my word count then.

This post originally made at Dreamwidth.

I'm all caught up with Merlin 2X06 now. Arthur's neatly brushed (combed?) bangs under his crown in 2X06 makes me want nerd!Arthur fics.

1. Sorority Boys -- with Merlin, Arthur and Will. Arthur/Ann clearly must be Adam/Adina, with his complex about his/her fat ass arse >=D
Will is the stoner eternal senior who takes crossdressing in stride.
Morgana is the nearsighted sorority president, because Katie McGrath wearing glasses IS CANON. Gwen is going to beat Merlin up (or get Lancelot to beat Merlin up) when she realized Merlin had been taking showers with Morgana =O

Sir Leon can be the sleazy scumbag loser who roofied Arthur/Ann.
Cedric is the guy who stole the fraternity's money and blame Merlin.

Uther hitting on Merlin on the yatch = BONUS because he's always thought Arthur's friend isn't quite right in the head.

2. Hors de prix/Priceless -- with Merlin as the golddigger Irene and Arthur as the hotel barman Jean. Merlin mistook Arthur as a millionaire and put the moves on him. Arthur went along with the charade, fell for Merlin, etc.

A year later, the two met again at the same hotel. It's Merlin's birthday and he's had a cozy arrangement with Uther for three years now. Uther caught Merlin cheating with Arthur, Merlin threw his lot in with Arthur only to realize that he's the help AHAHAHAHAHA.

Merlin moved on to Lancelot (du Lac sr. just croaked, leaving his massive wealth to Lancelot). Arthur wouldn't give up on Merlin and ended up being Lady Helen's boy toy so he can continue going on dates with Merlin.

I stopped watching the movie at this point so IDK what happened next, haha.

3. I'm contemplating claiming Bluebeard over at tobreakthespell. But IDK if I'll be motivated to see the fic through, since it's not a happy one =/

For some reason I can't think of any happy fairy tales that match the Merlin fandom =S (that hasn't already been claimed, that is.)

Arthur Blackguard--too evocative of WoW and RPGs, Y/N?


P.S. Hi! I'm sorta-not-quite back yet! *waves* Hope everyone's doing fine.
P.P.S.In other news, my laptop's monitor & graphic card died last Thursday.

First Goldeneye, who looks wonderful!

Title: Never Did Run Smooth
Author: Dani Meows
Fandom/Pairing: Doctor Who: 10/Rose
Rating: PG-13 or R-ish.. I don't quite get rating systems.
Genre: Romance/angst
Word Count: 5,077
Summary: After the events of the Girl In The Fireplace, the Doctor and Rose are feeling distant from one another. The Doctor realizes his feelings for Rose and wants to win her heart but a pretty boy is calling.
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who, if I did Rose Tyler and the Doctor would be traveling through time and space forever.
Beta: I claim every misplaced comma and awkward sentence as my own.
Notes: This story is a very late story for October's T_31 big bang deadline. I suck. I'm sorry. The other late one will be up as soon as the last five hundred words come to me. All sorts of bad things happened while I was trying to write this from health problems to computer problems but it's finally done!
Feedback: Please! I haven't got much feedback lately and it's making me wonder if I'm doing something wrong!


(  Rassilion's lacy black knickers! If he'd just told Rose any of those times that he'd wanted to tell her then he wouldn't have to worry about.... “Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?” the boy asked, his voice sounded smug much to the Doctor's annoyance. “Oh I'd love to!” Rose replied. She didn't seem to notice either the boys smug tone or the Doctor's irritated face. That. )

Up to 710 words.

BUT, I now know the thief and bored warrior's names, so I'm OK with it.

Also, the playlist for the fic is now 7 songs long, which is good.

Now to just get the damn doctor to actually do something about my pain, instead of giving me muscle relaxants and sending me on my way.

Sorry about the lack of commenting.... I've been busy writing up a storm and then soaking my wrists in Epsom salts.... I will comment on posts soon though, probably not today though since my head feels like it's about to burst through my eyeballs and I hurt quite badly. I've also not hit my word count goal for Nano today and I have lots of writing to do.


Mostly this is a quick post with a plea:

I need your help... I need a beta reader for four separate fest fic stories... and I need some people to calm me down about my anxiety for the fests. I'm getting so nervous that my writing sucks and that those who were unfortunate enough to draw my name are going to be disappointed. I'm getting scared to the point that I'm thinking about abandoning fandom just to avoid the shame of not turning anything in although I've got two of the four fics finished and done with both the hand written drafts and the typed draft. So I could use some reassurance.

Now onto the few details about the fics that I can share without giving away to much.

Very slight details about the fics:

1.) Involves Snape and Harry- isn't slash... is either Gen or preslash depending on how strong your slash goggles are. (Written and typed)

2.) Harry/Hermione- Porn (Written and typed)

3.) Luna/Hermione- Porn (Written)

4.) Harry/Hermione/Ron- Might be porn... I'm still working on this one...

If anyone could please help me out it would be very much appreciated. My husband refuses to read slash so my usual, I can't find a beta reader will you help me, helper can't help for most of these.

I've got two fics that I'll be posting today before I go to bed (10am EST) so I apologize for taking up three spaces on your friends page.
