Secondary Displacement

I have just now this very minute discovered that while lj is blocked at work, dreamwidth is NOT. and seeing as how my dreamwidth posts automatically crossposts to my lj, this could mean bad bad things for my flist.

...depending on how often i can make my children sleep at rest time, i mean. otherwise, i have no time to sit down, much less type.

so, a list of thoughts, because lists work for me.

1. GLEE. I am feeling like i might could write fic. this is exciting and terrifying, as i havent exactly been writerly for the past two years or so.


2. speaking of fic - i have 2 ficlets i am about to finish up that have been sitting in my googledocs for...um..well, a long time. one is You're Beautiful, and one is Gokusen. Gokusen might or might not go anywhere.


3. i have yet to do more then stare in delight at my yuletide assignment. i can TOTALLY do it, and i shall, and yeah, like i need an excuse to review the canon for this one. *hops happily*


4. i hope everyone who celebrates Ritual Sacrifice with Pie Day had a fabulous one. the rest of you, i hope last Thursday was awesome. (speaking of, i totally need a Ritual Sacrifice with Pie icon)


5. is the Wishlist Meme making the rounds this year? I've only seen one post for it so far, and im trying to decide if im going to type one up or not. i might be too lazy.


6. i found a new awesome movie obtaining place. i might have obtained a clear dvd quality screener for that new movie out now about that one guy who has that scar and fights the other snakey looking guy. just saying.


7. speaking of that guy with the scar, OMG I FINALLY SAW DEATHLY HALLOWS. it started a little slow, but i really really enjoyed it. also, the Ron/Hermione. And anything with Ron, 'cause he was hilarious frequently. also, I saw Gabrielle at the wedding! I was looking for Charlie, but did not seeeeeee him. i firmly remain a Charlie/Gabrielle shipper, even though I'm one of five people who ship it.


8. I've been capping Glee, as I want icons. I can't really find Glee icons i really love, and i find it troubling.


9. I have *thoughts* about last week's Glee, but i will spare you. for now. *leers*

1. Holy yuletide drama, Batman! WHAT THE HELL. Seriously, if you dont like AO3 and are mortally offended by how they are choosing fandoms this year, DON'T PARTICIPATE. Geeze. People keep complaining that this one anime fandom is being included when, for the record, WE DONT EVEN KNOW THAT. It's on the list, yes, but they've already told us (and told us and told us and omg) that they have to go through and double check.

Plus, one of the people who is making the biggest stink about this fandom being included is because she has a problem with the source material.

*headdesks repeatedly*


2. How to blow the mind of a 3 year old: In the middle of a crying meltdown that is quickly approaching epic size, quickly tell your child you have something very special for him. Then "catch" something in the air, tell him to open his hand, and give him an invisible ladybug. The child will then spend the entire ride home examining his empty cupped palm intently, trying to see the invisible ladybug.

*wins*


3. Glee. Oh...Glee. What can I even say about this week's ep? *grimaces* i just..i dont even know sometimes.

I got TWO full length stories this year, and i am so thrilled, i flapped my hands and made high pitched seal noises!

Both are Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, which is a very goofy manga that amuses me more than it should.

My stories are:
Give Me Your Hand - which is Shinagawa and Adachi and the student council and THUMB WRESTLING, and Shinagawa's dawning horror that he actually likes Adachi. Absolutely hiLARIOUS.
The Worst Christmas Ever - which involves Shinagawa getting stuck under something that ISNT EVEN MISTLETOE with Adachi, and I think I choked while reading it because I was laughing.

TWO STORIES AND BOTH ARE AMAZING! *spins happily*

Wanna read the manga? It's <a href='http://www.onemanga.com/Yankee-kun_to_Megane-chan/">here</a>. and hey! there's a new chapter up! I've gotten a comment from my person, who seems to have liked their story, so YAY! I am just now starting to wade through the archive. This is going to take a long time, and Madness hasn't even opened yet! *flaps hands*

I should be:
a) writing yuletide (over half done, and with a theme, if not a plot) - due 12/21
b) proofing a short story (gay weatherman!) - due 12/22
c) proofing a novel (no clue, havent even begun!) - due 12/31

Instead, Im listening to Anthony Stewart Head sing "Sweet Transvestite," wasting time on mystery google, and reading MLIA.

*sigh*

I could use a kick in the pants. Or some motivation. Or something else to procrastinate with.

Who's with me?

...also, i think my vlc icon is wearing a santa hat. i find this more disturbing then i can describe.

I should be writing my yuletide. I had a thought last night - a plan, even. Then I fell asleep, and now I've reread my person's letter, and now Im all second guessy and wibbledly, and wishing i could have written the fic i already wrote in this fandom for this challange, as it fits the details and i really like it, and i have no idea how im going to come close to something like that.

I could also be writing Mei-chan apocafic, as I read the epically awesome Arashi fic, The Lost, which is Jun and Sho and ZOMBIES and completely awesome and did i mention the ZOMBIES and the AWESOME?

READ IT.

Anyway, The Lost made me reconsider my Mei-chan fic, which I though I had lost when my comp died, but i FOUND IT in my email folders, for some reason*, and now im plotting, and this is isnt helping me write my yuletide, you know.

so i was thinking then, that i needed to just start throwing ideas out and hoping something will stick at some point. so, there are now THREE sentences written - no relation to the original idea, and im thinking im might just throw over some of the optional details and go with my original thought. because i kind of liked it.

hmm. yuletide panic has not yet begin to strike, but tomorrow is Dec 1st, and I desperately want to play with treats and yuletide madness this year, so i need to get this wrestled into shape. grr.



*Still never to be recovered: newest parts of Birdy, various porny bits from Hana Dori Yango, something involving Shin and subtle longing and Yankumi being sad and tragically dorky, instead of just hilariously dorky.

Dear Yule Goat,

This is my fifth year playing in yuletide, and I remain stupidly excited about it every year. Whatever you write me, I will love, I promise.

I love solid characterization more than ANYTHING else. I love plot, I do, but the characters are what do things for me. I love character vingettes just as much as I love long epic fics that encompass 50 years and 7 different planets. Don't be afraid to write something weird - if the characterization comes through and I can figure out where they are coming from, I promise that I will be over the moon about it.

I love gen, het, and slash. I like gen just as much as I like porn, and I love stories about people who stumble their way to happiness. While I adore angst, I tend to be more focused on the happy for yuletide. If the angst bug hits you though, go for it.

My requests:

Glee (tv)
Noah Puckerman aka Puck/Rachel Berry
Additional characters welcome! I ship Puck and Rachel hard, so I would love to see something shippy, but I'm completely happy with gen. What I really would love would be Puck raising the baby with help/heckling from the Gleeks.

...that's pretty much exactly what would thrill me. I want Puck ending up with the baby somehow, and the gleeks being involved and offering their own brand of help. Group lullabies, Kurt decorating the nursery, Rachel being afraid to touch the baby..I love me some Puck/Rachel, but I'm totally happy with them just being snarky at each other in groups, too.


Yankee-kun to Megane-chan
Daichi Shinagawa/Hana Adachi
Any other characters welcome. I really really want Shinagawa figuring out he likes Adachi and being TOTALLY HORRIFIED by it. Or anything where he is totally weak to her stupid ideas.

I love this manga, and that says a lot, because it took a freaking long time for me to even try reading manga. We all know Shinagawa likes Adachi, even though he claims that she likes him. I want him to actually figure out that he likes HER. He'd be horrified! It would be hilarious! Especially if he then decided to try asking her out or tell her he likes her. *snerk* Or anything, really, where she has a dumb idea, and he KNOWS its a dumb idea, but he goes along with it anyway. Because he's TOTALLY weak to her stupidity.


Mei-chan no Shitsuji
Kiba/Shibata Rihito/Shinonome Mei
Any other characters welcome. I would love group antics. I would love to see what happens to Rihito and Mei's relationship after the show, or when Mei graduates and the rules about butlers and ladies go out the window.

I LOVE THIS DRAMA. I LOVE THIS DRAMA. I LOVE YOU IF YOU WRITE FOR THIS DRAMA.

I love the silliness, I love the crack, but there was serious heart underneath all of the goofiness. Rihito wants so much to be Mei's perfct butler, but he fails and he fails and he fails until finally he cracks, and there's a real guy underneath all of that shiny butler perfection, and he loves Mei SO MUCH. I would love fic set after the show, where they're trying to live day to day lives, and being in love is against the rules. I would love to see something set during/after graduation, when the rules about butlers and ladies no longer apply. I'd even love something set pre-show, when Rihito is watching Mei live her own life and falling in love from a distance. Crack and feelings and ladies and butlers and everything, and hey! Throw in Zoicite Shinobu and Lucia-sama if you want! Everybody's welcome!

...I'm a little unhinged about this show. Sorry?


RPF - So You Think You Can Dance
Chelsie Hightower/Mark Kanemura
Any other characters welcome. I ship these two like burning, but am completely happy with gen. I'd love something set backstage while they were on the show, during practice, or right before or after performing.

I've never actually read any Mark/Chelsie fic, or any SYTYCD fic, so I'm pretty happy with whatever here. I love "Bleeding Love" the most of all their dances, but really, I love their chemistry, they looked amazing together, and they both cracked me up whenever we got to see backstage stuff with them.

Massive thanks to roadstergal for writing Happily Never After, which is Into the Woods, and is Jack and Little Red, and is just fantastically written, with Jack being dim and not understanding girls but sweet in a very real way, and Red being quick to anger, quick to misunderstand, and just as quick to forgive. eventually.

AND, massive thanks and giggles to anenko, who kind of gave herself away by TALKING TO ME PREVIOUSLY about the idea she had, but HEY, it's Love Bites, it's Shin and Yankumi and sex gone OH SO VERY WRONG as only sex with Yankumi would go.



As for what I wrote..well..

Hilariously, for the second time in yuletide for me, I got my beloved magelette - extraordinary beta and all around fabulous person! I opened up my yuletide assignment and DOUBLECHECKED THE DATE, just to be sure. And the I laughed. For quite a while.

For Kara, I wrote A Horse and Her Boy, a fic about Kid and Katy and his deep abiding love for her. His horse. The Young Riders is a fandom ive only dabbled in ONCE for last year's yuletide madness, but I love Kid and Ike and Lou and Katy and Teaspoon and everyone, and I just had to try it. :)


I also wrote a treat for anenko, who figured out it was me EASILY, and pretty much for the same reason I knew she wrote Love Bites for me..that, and we were the only ones who requested Smiling Pasta, which is Taiwanese drama about a girl and a boy and a turtle outfit. That is called A Plate of Wonderful Marriage Pasta, and to my complete shock, got comments from FOUR people! I didnt even know anyone else had even seen the show!

Yuletide is open, and i was lucky enough this year to get TWO fics, just for me! This is the first time ive gotten more than one fic, so I am thrilled!

Happily Never After is Into the Woods, and it's Jack and Red and growing up and not knowing how to talk to each other and it is completely awesome! The Baker and Cinderella make appearances, and they have such good insight into what is going on, and it makes me so very happy to have gotten this. THANK YOU SANTA!


And THEN! Some super mysterious Santa who i would never ever in a million years be able to guess wrote me GOKUSEN! And it's Shin and Yankumi and sex gone OH SO VERY WRONG, as sex with Yankumi would be doomed to do, and it makes me snort with laughter in so many ways. Love Bites *crying* they think he lost a FIGHT, y'all! There is no way this isn't hilarious.

So, two weeks of whining, 3 attempted starts, 700 badly mangled words..and then i watch 5 minutes of canon and a brand new start and half an hour later, I am finished.

Epic.

It's short, but I tend to short at the best of times. I like it, though, and that's really the main part. Plus, im still SEVEN WHOLE DAYS early. SEVEN DAYS! EARLY!

*cavorts*

Im done with yuletide, ducklings. Whatever shall i do now?



PS. ONE HUNDRED NINETY FIVE ICONS PEOPLE. HOMG. TO MY SHAME, I NOW HAVE FOUR FULL HOUSE ICONS UPLOADED. I NEED TO MAKE MORE AND FORCE THEM UPON ANENKO AND PRINCESS_DEXTER.

Dear yuletide santa:

I want a pony, and a plastic llama, and a barbie dream house!

...no, no, that isn't right. Let's try again.

Dear santa,

I love fic. I love gen and het and slash. I love tight plot and hot sexing and character vignettes. I LIKE MANY THINGS AND I WILL LOVE WHATEVER YOU WRITE. The main thing that makes me clap my hands in glee is good, solid characterization. So long as whatever you write seems in character, I'll buy it and I'll sell tickets for it, too!

Particular requests:

Gokusen: Sawada Shin/Yankumi
I would love to see something both darker and yet still dorky. I would really love to see what could have happened if Yankumi wasn't reinstated, and some/all/Shin of the boys of 3D quit school

I lovelovelove dorky Shin and dorkier Yankumi, so go with that if it so moves you, but I love AUs and I love playing with What Ifs? If Yankumi didn't get reinstated, would 3D REALLY all have dropped out of school? What would happen to them? Would Yankumi allow it? Would she insist on setting up her own weird school? Would Shin end up joining the yakuza? Any and all extra characters are welcome. I am a die hard Shin/Yankumi shipper, so if that's your bag, AWESOME. If not, that is also lovely.

Into the Woods: Jack/Little Red
"I'll be your mother,now!" or life after happily ever after.again.

This was a last second decision, to tell the truth, but the more I think about it, the more interested I am in the idea. Little Red cracks me up, and I can easily see her bossing Jack around their new little house. Shippy or not shippy, either way is fine, Im just interested to see their interaction. The Baker, Cinderella, the baby, whoever is still alive, is more than welcome to join the fun.

Mirrormask: Helena/Valentine/unValentine
I would love to see Helena mourning and missing Valentine, even with unValentine right there.

I love Mirrormask, and I love Valentine/Helena and unValentine/Helena relationships, whether shippy or friendship. I've read fic where unValentine is bemused and confused by Helena laughingly calling him Valentine, which is AWESOME, but I'd like something a little more melancholy. He's here, but he isn't really, and she misses Valentine.

Brown Sugar Macchiato: Any
I would love Wang Zi/Gui Gui about Wang Zi's realization of his feelings, or Ao Quan/Da Ya and Second Base, round two! or ANYTHING. I just want Brown Sugar fic!

OMG IF YOU WRITE THIS YOU WILL BE MY BEST FRIEND FOREVER. *cough* Sorry. I particularly love Wang Zi/Gui Gui and would love anything about them - pranks, silliness, Wang Zi glaring, her giggling, WHATEVER. I would really love him coming to the realization that he DOES like her, or anything, really. I also love Ao Quan/Da Ya and would love to see them get a few more kisses, or actually having a semi serious conversation. My favorite parts with those two are him drawing a heart on the board while they were cleaning the classroom, and her memory of his magic trick. But really, ANY means ANY. ANYTHING BSM would make me very very happy.

Thank you, santa!
