What Are You Looking For?

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

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

It's the "Pimp Yo'self Meme"!

Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five fic-favorites you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.

Oh... Shit.

Um.

Fuck.

( Okay, I have to preface this with a couple of things... )

So. This is a scary-assed meme to be tagged with, for me at least... But, because she asked in good faith, I will oblige my friend playingwithcake, and anyone else who wasn't on-board in the early years.

...Enjoy?

( The madness lies within the cut... )

Folks were tagged on my flocked El-Jay entry, so I'm not tagging anyone here. Alas. ;)

Meme stolen from ficangel:

Post the first line from your 25 most recent fanfics and try to find a pattern.

( Here goes nothin'... )

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: )

Take any one of the fandoms you know I write in, and give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, Ancient Rome, etc). I will then explain what story from your chosen fandom I would write for your chosen type of AU.

There's only a couple to pick from that I've written in... it's either politics, yo; House, or... um... Is the E Street band a fandom? and does it count if it was just the one drabble? *confused*

And considering how completely uncooperative my muse has been lately, I'm not sure what I'd even be able to dream up, but hey. I've only got an exam coming up this week -- it's not like I've got important things to do like work or study or, y'know, do homework or anything... *heh*

likespring (from whom I stole this meme) opened hers up to fandoms she hadn't written in, but I'm not sure what else you'd even add to my list... The Daily Show? Torchwood? Good Omens? Kushiel's Legacy? Firekeeper? Wolfwalkers?

Ack.

Better late than never, yes?

( Oh, this could not be sadder if I tried... )

...Cuz it's that time of year, or something.

( Not nearly as impressive as last year's, however. )

stolen from sarken and most of her f-list, apparently:

Give me a "five things" fanfic request and I'll write something for it.

Fandoms? Well, I'll not limit myself to K/E. If you come up with a good set of prompts, I might could be persuaded to write some other pairings. ;-)

My other fandoms include House, Springsteen/Weinberg, Stewart/Colbert, and a cast of thousands (not literally!) from the political realm...

*throws hands up in the air*

Any takers?

Choose twelve "characters" from your fandoms, then answer the questions under the link. Do not look at the questions beforehand.

1. John Edwards
2. John Kerry
3. Elizabeth Edwards
4. Teresa Heinz Kerry
5. Dr. Allison Cameron
6. Dr. Gregory House
7. Dr. James Wilson
8. Dr. Robert Chase
9. Dr. Eric Foreman
10. Dr. Lisa Cuddy
11. Bruce Springsteen
12. Max Weinberg

(*whew* Exactly 12. LOL)

( And away we go! )

Teh crossposting from machka, because I can, and it's fic-related, after all, and probably belongs here more than there, not that anybody's reading...

Gacked from vulgarweed and sarken, it's...

( That meme thing - top ways to tell you're reading a story I wrote )

If there is any question you would like to ask me about any one of my fics, then go ahead! What I meant by a particular line, why I chose that characterisation, what I was listening to as I wrote, what crack I was taking and where you can get some... anything. Anything you might like to know about how I wrote a fic, I shall do my best to answer.

( ...And to remind you, here's my fics by tag... )

sarken, you always have the best memes!! *pouts* So, I steal... LOL

Name a fandom you know I know and I'll tell you:

1. The first character I first fell in love with
   
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
   
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
   
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
   
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
   
6. The character I would shag anytime
   
7. The character I'd want to be like
   
8. The character I'd slap
   
9. A pairing that I love
   
10. A pairing that I despise

And because I'm a bit obscure, I'll have to do like she did, and give all y'all a list of things I'm fangirly about (whether there's a "fandom" that's risen up around it or not):

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band,
House,
Hawt Democratic Lurve,
Survivor (omg),
"Dragonriders of Pern" (yo),
The Daily Show,
The Colbert Report,
M*A*S*H (stealing omg),
South Park (to mess w/ y'all's heads),
"Kushiel's Legacy" trilogy (still with me?),
the "Firekeeper" saga (ok, I lost you there, didn't I?),
the "Wolfwalker: Tales of the Wolves" series,
and "Good Omens".

:D

Came across this on sarken's journal a while back, catching up on my f-list... thought it might be kinda fun, if not TMI. =)

( Reviewing the year in fic... OMFG, definitely wa-a-a-a-ay too much information. )

Questions? Comments? Opinions? Mockery and snark? Back-handed compliments? Have at it. Floor's open!

Yay! Stolen from sarken, because I'm always up for a challenge:

A. Go to my fic and pick out a line or two from one of my stories.
B. I will respond with which story I think it's from.
C. Points and a scene to anyone who stumps me.

I have a few (*eyeroll*) to choose from... My fics, by tag, can be found here:

(note that some fics are tagged w/ more than one tag)

This was probably a really stupid thing to try, but I did make a request, so I'm honor-bound to post this here. From the ever-lovely timebound:

Every person on your flist gets to request a drabble (real drabble: 100 words exactly) from you. In return, they have to post this in their journal and write a drabble for you. Post all fandoms you're willing to write for. Your friends can pick a relationship, a story arc, a missing scene, or pretty much anything they want, unless the author has previously mentioned that they will not write it. They comment with what they want, and you write drabbles and post it in your LiveJournal.

Fandoms: JxJ (and the wives, too), House... shit. Those are the two I feel most comfortable with, so I'll stick to those for now. My life is lived on the internet, so I'm not familiar with many other tv shows, sorry.

Now, you've all read me before - you *know* I'm verbose. A drabble is gonna be a very difficult thing for me to write. Have pity on me.

*cringes*
*hits 'post' button*

"...And I say thank you for the slashing, the fic I'm writing..."

If you were converted into slash by someone, post this in your journal and thank them properly! and spread the slasher love!

I wasn't converted so much as introduced to it... Two boys kissing in the movie "Baseketball" put the idea in my head, then ottercat's linkage to beeblebabe's first JxJ post in her LJ, and the addition to *that* post of the creation of johnxjohn just provided the outlet... and mentalhygiene provided the spark for my first ever fan-fic.

So, thanks to all... I think....

Ask me any one question about my writing, then post this in your LJ, so I can satisfy my curiosity about yours.

Or, don't. See if I care. LOL ;-)

You're a Narrative writer!


What kind of writer are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

This does not really surprise me... Seems to be the kind of reaction most people give me.

but "You are a smut writer" would probably be closer to the truth. =D
