Welcome to my journal!

In all other aspects of life I am messy and disorganised but I am obsessive about filing, tagging and indexing my work, (apparently even when not at work,) so in deference to my anal retentiveness I give you my contents page. 

Currently all my fiction entries (and most but not all of the non-fic posts) are open to everyone, (if I ever write anything that is NC-17 I will friend lock it, just for peace of mind. Some of these have slash/yaoi pairings and some are het, the pairings and ratings are listed as a guide, read what you like ignore what you don't.

The disclaimers and an explanation of my ratings and tags are here

If you are interested in fic recs check out my links on delicious.com here.

This post started as a post for my own reference to satisfy my anal retentive need to be consistent with my tagging.

Just in case anyone wanted some guidance in navigating my 'system' I decided to leave it open, (but if i post this right it won't appear on your friend pages). Then I got carried away and it can now be considered a list of policies and disclaimers as well as an explanation of tags.

Hmm not exhaustive (yet) think this shall have to be a WIP too as I add more fandoms or tags.

I was browsing through my flist, skim reading over titles fandoms and disclaimers. A thought came to me as I read the disclaimers on Dr Who and Torchwood fanfics. Dr Who/ Torchwood belong to the BBC (the BBC owns them all,) I pay my TV licence therefore.... I own Dr Who and Torchwood, I bought them every year I have to send off another 130 or so pounds I am buying Dr Who and Torchwood. They are mine all mine Bwhahahaha, I own them (well me and a few million other licence payers).

I should be writing my hlh_shortcuts fic but...


I'm just enjoying the mental picture of Kronos milking a cow next to a group of dancing dragons.

Some more work on my hlh fic. I'm hoping to finish my first draft by the end of the month.




Back to the grindstone, lots more to do.

Was playing around, uploading pictures to my 'scrapbook' thought I'd share some. These are of the dinosaurs in crystal palace park (actually it might be Dulwich park I always get the names mixed up but either way it is one of the park near my grandmother's house). They have huge dinosaur statues positioned around the lake (some of them have been there since I was a kid).

In a complete change in subject, I have finally stopped planning and started writing my hlh_shortcuts fic, I know about time, right? Am I horribly behind?

Jumping on the growing bandwagon I joined 'Archive of our own' and have been uploading my fics (my 'works' are here for anyone interested). I think I like the layout and tagging and so forth. It just looks better than ff.net (though I'll continue using that too).

All shiny and prettty and new.... Yay

Yay...... new Doctor Who!!! Bring on the Christmas specials.

In celebration to some poor scape goat being tortured and eventually burnt at the stake (although 'they' say it's something to do with stopping a plot against parliment)  we have been watching burning effigies in our local park. Otherwise known as the local firework display, lots of mud, people getting lost and pretty lights in the sky :0)... we even had sparklers. I took some  blurry photos on my phone.

( Wow this got long. )

Tldr: I actually did exercise today and I didn't die

Wow it's November already, how did that happen? I feel like I blinked and I missed Summer and Autumn. This is of course the month where I traditionally start panicking about the fact I have zero pounds available with which to buy Christmas presents, at least not if I intend to also pay for fun things like rent, heat, electricity and food, (crap that reminds me, I haven't transferred my rent yet). Something is bound to turn up, it always does just before the last of what little money I have disappears. I want a decent, stable job again is that too much to ask?

Anyway moving on from that depressing subject, don't know how I even got onto it in the first place....

Have been trying to make a start on my hlh_shortcuts fic.... I still haven't found the right plot bunny I keep coming up with totally crazy ideas, I think I will have to write a load of crack ficlets after this just to get them to shut up :0).

Happy Samhain to all those who celebrate, and a happy halloween to everyone else!

Is anyone doing anything special? I'm craving pumpkin soup :0)

I stole this one from lil_1337 cos' it looked like fun:

Give me two characters and a favor (or leave it open ended), and I will write a note from one to the other asking the favor. The favor can be anything, and the characters can be from any fandom or original universe (or combination!) that I'm familiar with. Since this is all about asking favors, feel free to ask for as many pairings as you like.

I think I have done this, or something very similar to it before but because I'm a geek and love doing these things:


Comment with a character, pairing or fandom and I'll give you three facts that are my personal canon, then post this in your journal so I can do the same.

Stolen from aeron_lanart

So I'm writing more GW fic, in between my numerous current HL  projects I have a couple of questions.

1. Do Trowa and Relena ever actually talk to each other at any point in the series or EW?.... Surely they must but I can't think of a single point when this happens. Actually... Did they ever actually meet?
2. How does Trowa address Relena (assuming they ever actually speak), does he call her Relena or Relena - san? How does he address Dorothy?
3. I'm fairly sure Quatre calls her Relena-san, am I mis-remembering?

This is going to sound ridiculous but what is the past tense of weave, as in someone weaved something together. I'm sure it is weaved, but something in my head is screaming wove... which I don't think is even a word, but won't go away.

Have received my hlh_shortcuts assignment..... think I can do something interesting with that. Should be fun, I've never done a fic exchange before. *Looks at plot bunny enclosure* 'come here little plot bunny, it's OK I won't hurt you, come to Aunty Ellie'.... Ha Gotcha, hmm interesting but too... weird... for a fic exchange, *Goes away to find a sensible idea that doesn't involve shapeshifting cats* my brain can be strange place sometimes but where that idea came from I don't know.



 

I keep forgetting I'm doing the highlander recs for this month.... hmmm. I'm off to find some more higlander stories that haven't been recced yet, so many brilliant unfinished stories I'm not allowed to rec.

Have been trying to write the next section of learning to communicate.... for some reason it's turning into a long 3x4 scene, this fic is supposed to be 1x2.... oh well if Quatre and Trowa are the only pilots that are going to let me write them, they do talk about Heero and Duo so it is not completely off topic and you can never have too much 3x4.

You know those emails you get sent with attachments or links you just know are dodgy? Maybe they're from someone you have never met and promise large amounts of money or from someone you haven't spoken to in years with an email (probably from an old address) which just says 'look at this' without any sort of hello, how are you, did you ever sort out that problem with x.

Does anyone else get the urge to click on it/ download just to see what it will do? It's like Pandora's box, you know opening it is a really bad idea but you want to know. Is this going to destroy my hard drive or try to scam my bank details or just pass my email address on to a thousand market research companies? This might be why curiosity is so fatal to cats.

Part 2

Title: Never Ever
Characters: Methos, Duncan, Amanda, Richie, Joe.
Beta: thanks todswdianefor taking the time to beta. Any remaining mistakes are of course my own.
Warning/Rating: PG-13, mentions slash, het and femslash relationships lots of drinking (just as well their livers regenerate)
Summary: Joe wants answers, Richie wants to see the others drunk, Duncan and Amanda want to have fun, and Methos just wants free drinks. They play 'Never have I ever' the last to pass out wins.
Author’s Notes: Once again Methos has taken over my story but you'll be happy to know the other character occasionally get a word in edgeways. On a side note this is actually based in the same universe as Methos' secrets, although they are both completely seperate fics you can see the occasional hint here.
