ETA, 3 Jan 2012: Yeah, I don't really use this anymore, either. Sorry, Charlie.

There's that "I write like..." meme going around my LJ flist, so -- of COURSE I was gonna try it.

One fic got me Raymond Chandler. Another got me James Joyce. XD

But when you start getting two and three of the same result in a row, broken up by the occasion random as noted above? Maybe you should listen. So.

Your result for The Fan Fiction Personality Test...

The True Fan

OOC is blasphemy, canon is everything.

And here I thought I was safe from comment rot...

#(*$&#(*$&#)@($&)@#

so, pretty much any comments left on entries from six months ago or later have been hit -- they're gone for good. *sighs*

At least IJ hasn't learned how to allow us to empty our fucking message boxes, so all the comments are still in there. LOL

They say that the comment rot issue will be addressed in the next code release.... but they've been promising that code for a loooooooong time now... C'mon, guys. :(

This is just so you guys know what happened, if you perchance go back and read any of my old fics... I would not delete those comments on my own, believe me -- too many warm fuzzy feelings. :) ♥

HAY, IT'S THAT TIME OF MY LIFE THE YEAR AGAIN...

( Reviewing the year in fic... 2008 Edition. )

In light of all the recent, um, commentary on the "ring rumors" and such, and in knee-jerk response to several (supportive!! :) posts I've seen on my flist...

...Some iconage for all y'all because far be it for me to prolong any obvious fandom wankage you understand; oh no, not me... :P



Update: Jan 25, 2009:


( Please read before posting a stupid comment cutting Kim down, m'kay? )

LiveJournal's unavailable again. What a fucking shock. :P

I heard a rumor that you guys may poke your noses in over here when El-Jay went dark...

That's all well and good. That's what this post is for here.

Make it an open comment thread, or whatever -- just be aware that Squeaky has had to turn on comment verification for anonymous commenters because of the large amount of spammorz that members had been getting.

I, for one, welcome my anonymous-commenting freaky friends, so feel free.

I will let you know that I have actually written two short ficlets in the past two days. :) I will not let you see them, because that would spoil you for the end of my "Anodyne" series... but just know that I've actually been writing, which is a feat in and of itself.

And you know? I'm not averse to a little comment porn over here, ngl.

have at it.

I have a bunch of icons of the T-Town Boiz and their buddies that I felt like posting. So deal with it, a'ight?

Teasers:


David Cook, Andy Skib, Neal Tiemann, Bryan Jewett, Josh Center, Michael Johns, Chikezie, and yes, even li'l David Archuleta behind the cut.

And yes, some of these I've been using since I made 'em, and some of them have been posted elsewhere. I DO WHAT I WANT.

See this icon I'm using?

Well, apparently it's the winner of the LiveJournal cohnstro community's first ever icontest.

It's now the official default icon of the community.

*facepalm*

Who knew that my L33T Graphic Converter skillz would come in so handy?

For those of you that don't know: Andy Skib is a former bandmate of David Cook's - they played in the Midwest Kings (a/k/a MWK) together in Tulsa; Andy also did song backing vocals and production work on Cook's "Analog Heart." Most of us were first introduced to Andy courtesy of Glozell -- seriously, how could you watch that and not fall in love? ♥ Anyway, his new musical project is called To Have Heroes, and we Word Nerds have taken on Word Hero alter-egos to support Andy's musical dream as well. Come join us! :)

Welp, the tohaveheroes community on LiveJournal just recently reached the 50-member (hee! I said "member"!! *girlish giggle*) mark yesterday, after only 33 days of existence!!

*tosses confetti* \o/

I've been making a few Skib icons here and there over the past month, but made a huge batch (omg, the euphemisms!! LMAO) while I was sequestered in Illinois, taking my sister to the Idol show there. :)

Figured this was as good of a time as any to make a Skibbles icon post, so here goes!

Most of these pics were located on FaceBook, and feature Andy's rather... expressive face... you'll see what I mean. lmfao

Title: "A Rush of Blood to the Head"
Author: ficangel, posting to the_flyboys and her InsaneJournal
Fandom: American Idol
Notes: Waaaaaaay-AU. Rated R by the author. Nominally a Flyboys-pairing fic, but Papa hasn't made an appearance yet. D:

ETA 6-19-08: Papa has arrived!

ETA 7-5-08: INCOMING KIM CALDWELL! LMAO [oh no you didn't, Mari!! LOLOL]


Yay! Now that ficangel has completed "You Can't Always Get What You Want," she's free to work on this other "Mavid" series that she's been sitting on while she was focusing on that :)

OK, as I noted on one of my other Flyboy fic recs, I'm not real big on the whole vampire thing...I kind of tolerated the "Lost Boys" and "Buffy" movies, and have pretty much been "meh" about everything else vampire-ry since... But since it's one of my favorite Mavid authors, I'll give it a shake. :)

This fic has David as a vampire hunter, tho (along with nearly the entire cast of popular - and not-so-popular - previous and current Idols to boot!), and that has some seriously interesting angsty potential... :) You'll see what I mean. :(

...Cuz I think I just might.

...Apparently, I iz a winnar.



How the hell did that happen? O_o

'scuse me while I die now... x_x

Heard this on my roommate's iTunes today, and this would totally crack my shit up as a Tour!Fic...

( Kiss Me on the Bus )

This had to have been totally written about Cookie. Oh, fuck yeah.

And OMG the angst.

( Reasons )

Stolen from a total stranger on LJ:

Name a character(/person) from one of my fandoms and I'll give you either (a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon, (b) a reason he/she sucks, (c) a reason she/he rocks my socks, (d) five things that never happened to that character or (e) five people that character never fell in love with and why. You pick the character. I pick the letter.

Not that anyone's reading this here, but I've cross-posted to my LJ, and I'll cross-post any answers over here. *nods*

( fandoms: )

Okay, this is mainly for me to "file away" linkage to fics I particularly enjoy, but anyone so inclined is welcome to peruse...

For the record: The Flyboys are Michael Johns and David Cook from "American Idol" Season 7, a/k/a "Mavid". They're ttly doing it. LOL

So, the first of my recs is a WIP that's slowly eating my brain...

Title: "You Can't Always Get What You Want"
Author: ficangel, posting to the_flyboys and her InsaneJournal
Fandom: American Idol
Notes: AU. An accidental meeting between a pop star and a paparazzo gives both more than they'd bargained for. ficangel's summary: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." [uh-oh... D: - Teh Reader]

Sequel to the much-beloved (by me, anyway) "Black Bird Singing," ( about which I had to say: )
Seriously, guys -- she is just that good, and this sequel is shaping up to be just as fucking amazing as that one, if anything can be judged by the first chapter and by her hints at what's to come... This time, we see their relationship from David's POV, and... well, you know how I feel about that, right? :D

Series is rated NC-17 by the author.

Updated 6-12-08.

( cut because it's become rather a lengthy list... *facepalm* )

Emo!Dave gives me hives, I swear, but this is incredible - and so fanfic-inspirational... If I'd ever get my Muse to cooperate...

Another WIP series:

Title: "Walking Dead Heartbreaker"
Author: lazydaisy501 (now 'skypipe'), posting to jf_and_sd
Fandom: American Idol
Notes: Vampire AU. Now, I know every fandom has its vampire AU, and normally I don't dig vampire!fic (in fact, if you'd told me even two months ago that I'd be reading a vamp!fic and LOVING it, I'd have laughed in your face before punching same), but...um...HEL-lo... this is shaping up to be a very interesting series.

The individual chapters do not have ratings, but overall the series is an "R" per the author.

Current WIP

Sample:

The door was guarded, but he knew how to get in. The hall stretched on for miles and each step brought the pounding of music closer and deeper into his ears until he was there and a sudden rush of heat and a bass loud enough to fracture his heart flushed through his skin and he gasped for oxygen.

Michael knew what he wanted and curious but not unwelcome looks were thrown his direction, looks he processed but meant nothing to him. The tiled floor was sticky under his shoes, hands grabbed loosely at his arms, his waist but he let them go, fluttered eyelashes and shoved them away.

Right to the back and the trembling in his hands grew worse and more difficult to handle. He had to be here, he had to. Michael began to panic, lose his breath and no, no this couldn’t be happening, he saw him. Sitting in a booth, one leg up on the bench, finger rubbing up and down a glass dripping of condensation. He was staring at Michael, with white eyes and Michael smiled.

David.
