Aletheia

{Take the 100 Things challenge!}

Because some people actually like my rl posts, and I rarely write one.
This way: a) It's a writing challenge with a word count constraint, and b) I won't feel guilty writing about rl.

All fannish moments posts will be public, most rl moments posts will be locked.
I'm willing to add non-empty journals on DW (or IJ if you prefer), but I may or may not add journals on LJ.

[ DW | IJ | LJ ]

1. I'm writing a You've Got Mail pastiche for merlin_flashfic's conquest challenge and au_bingo's Other: Mundane square.
Anyone up to bouncing ideas around with me? It's ~500 words so far.

Problem is, I don't like the movie that much (even though I loved Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks at the time). Erm. Well it obv. doesn't have to follow the movie plot. I'm probably too lazy to write any longer than 1K (or 2K max), at any rate.

2. Stolen from benebu's wondrous brain, as always:

This week @ writing_game - Don't bother denying it: the snake is ill-intentioned; babble and prattle, and describe the situation as 'colorful'; allow the community to benefit from your valuable piece of advice; or for a novel way to infuriate him, pawn your tutor's watch. 6 points each.
Come and play, original and fanfiction, drabbles and snippets are all welcome!

"For a novel way to infuriate him, pawn your tutor's watch." <-- This is just begging to be slashed.

3. So far I've written original and HP drabbles ("Princess Lesson," Harry, Lily Luna, G) for the drabble tree. Would write more but am pretending that it's not my personal writing ground.

Come and drabble! We also have Merlin and Inception so far.
Sherlock writers, where are youuuu~

You only need five 500-word Merlin ficlets or five 500-word Merlin RPFs to qualify. FYI: Crossovers don't qualify for the minimum five.

I should've pimped this earlier, but I was in a bookstore, biting my tongue so I didn't cry while I read a picture book about Nubs, a desert dog in Iraq.

Anyone knows other drabble comm.s I can pimp this at? I'll pimp it at slytherin100 and hpgen100, obviously.

1. Please fill out this multi-fandom/original drabble tree poll.
The drabble tree will be hosted at mukashi2, so the drabbles have to be based (however loosely) on a fairy tale, folklore, fable, myth or legend.
Read: Merlin drabbles in and of themselves are not enough, you have to include an additional fairy tale/folklore/etc.

2. Voting for Challenge 3 is now open @ summerpornathon.

3. On Friday I repeatedly logged in & posted to dozens of empty/currently inactive journals, just in case it'll get purged in August @_@ I was too late for one account, haha.
...and I suspect I'm forgetting some accounts.
More info @ copperbadge here.

4. Didn't realize that LJ gives the option to downgrade to Basic account* again. That's nice.
* A Basic account is ad-free while viewing your LJ, your friends page, other basic accounts and of course paid accounts. DIE Plus accounts DIE

5. Random dresses from Bebe:
♠ Cutout banded dress -- out of stock
♣ Strapless Stitched Ruffle Party Dress -- Wedding cake X-D Not smth I'd ever own/wear, but it looks great on this model.

Of all the barely legal men out there, why did he fixate on the headmaster’s son?

Arthur was a good student who didn’t give the staff any trouble. Except for his Literature teacher.

On Tuesdays, Merlin always wore long jackets, because Arthur would be right there with his pouty lips and pen-biting.

Today, Arthur had stayed behind and ambushed Merlin with a kiss. Of course, the headmaster just happened to wander by.

Lifting guilty hands from Arthur’s shoulders—to push him away, not clutch him closer—Merlin contemplated throwing himself out the midget-sized window.

“What is the meaning of this?”

Answers merlin_flashfic's Alternate Universe challenge.
Audienced by oconel.
ayes_sid gave me the prompt: Merlin/Arthur, Uther finds out and there's no way out for Merlin. She didn’t say I can’t write a ModernDay!AU, so =P

In other news, people should go check out cliche_bingo, a multi-fandom challenge (no deadline, min. 500 words for fic, you can do recs/fanarts/icons instead, etc.) Will make a proper pimping post later, although they really don't need it.

writing_game pimp in the words of the ever estimable benebu:

Come and play, write us a one sentence, 100 words drabble (Prompt for letter Z);
live dangerously and Stain the Dangerous Adonis' shirt (Player's Choice, Box A);
take a Hike with your Intern, and (un)Button him (Player's Choice, Box D),
or simply Play That Funky Music over and over again (Songs table).
Any fandom or original verse is welcome.

I'm gearing myself up to write a Merlin reincarnation* fic. Well, the first three sentences, at any rate.
And, because I have a Fixation With The Age of Fifteen**, Merlin's 15 and Arthur's 18.

* I'm undecided on whether reincarnation fic = AU or not, but I'm writing it anyway.
** I lived in Interesting Times when I was 15. I recognize that other people don't necessarily have their Interesting Times coincide with their 15th year =P

I have to admit that I only watched Star Trek because of:
1) Sylar with eyebrows! and,
2) I want to read ifyouweremine's pr0n

Like a gazillion other people have said, it was GLORIOUS.

I like every single character in that movie, and that _never_ happened to me before.
Yes, including the evil Romulan guy, who I found vaguely hot (which is understandable because he was played by Eric Bana, who played Hector in Troy).
I even like Spock's mother (didn't recognize Winona Ryder until her third appearance X-D)

ruien shared ST canon tidbits with me, but I was all, "Uh-huh. Sylar with eyebrows! Spock Spock Spock!"
I should like BlondPratJerk!Kirk better, but I don't. It's the power ot the eyebrows!111

I want to cuddle ickle!Spock with his pretty eyes <333 Spock! Spock Spock Spock Spock Spock! Spock!
Ickle!Kirk was awesome too! And Kirk was as pretty as everyone said <333
Mind meld! Spock! Spock!
Kirk Senior was hot too! Alternate Reality! Spock!

I even love the canon het pairing =D =D =D

Hikaru Sulu! Gold power ranger! Fold-out sword! Fencing!
17 y.o. Chekhov OMGSoPrecious ^___^ "I can do it I can do it I can do it"

Eomer Karl Urban's stupid haircut makes me want to cry, but otherwise YAY Bones! Spock!

I'm going to watch it at IMAX later tonight =D =D =D
PSA: It's only playing in IMAX until this Thursday.

Bring on the fics where Kirk licks Spock's eyebrows MWAHAHAHAHA >=D

- Awesome mind-meld plotbunny
- Star Trek Reboot Drabble Challenge: Journey to Drabble -- 100 prompts =)

Non-Star Trek related:
- movie ads in Canada run TEN MINUTES LONGER than movie ads in the U.S., which is already pretty darned long.
- Canadian males in ads all have the same closely-set-together-eyes and tall straight nose, just like American TV actors all have square jaws =P
