-randomly changed my DW layout again; not 100% on it yet.
-in the past 4 days I have done nothing useful except work three shifts and write about 5k. Why has no one killed me yet :( Today my shift was much later than usual and all I did afterwards was doze in the bath. /fails
-GA is ridiculously warm and I have no energy, none.
-I guess I monologue all over random strangers late at night because I'm an MGS fan.

The weather in the South has never made any sense. You can run your a/c and furnace in the same week. Last night I slept with my window open. Earlier this month we had frost on the ground. I don't get it.

My sole contribution to writing this week has been a cracky Animorphs kink meme fill. :(

ugh I keep waking up and going 'Dear god I need to turn the heating off' and then realising that I ALREADY DID. Yesterday at work was miserable hot and then last night was completely freezing. I don't get it ;___; /clings to nice warm dog

CRACKY KINK MEME FILLS ARE NEVER WRONG.

OHMYGOD, THENE, YOU ARE RIGHT, AND THE ANIMORHS KINK MEME IS THE WEIRDEST AND FUNNEST EVER. TURNING INTO ANIMALS=SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR ~SHENANIGANS. ADD ALIENS TO THE MIX, AND FUCK. :D

HAHAHA THAT SOUNDS AWESOME, FEW FANDOMS CAN DELIVER TO THAT EXTENT. the only truly ~shenannigans thing i ever managed on a kink meme was Naomi/Meryl using a Playstation controller as a double-ended vibe, because there is no fourth wall ever.

I am on a random Batman/Superman reading spree tonight! One of those things where I don't give a shit about the canon but the slash fandom nevertheless makes me wibbly inside. And all I have written today is some post-canon wangst that has nothing the hell to do with any of the other things I have been trying to write recently. head. desk.

eeee Animorphs is a great fandom, I have to say, and the only one I really participate in. Most YA fandoms wither away after the kiddies grow up, but Animorphs just does things to you and you never really forget about it. So the fandom is still going even though the series ended like ten years ago; idk I love it. So much angst, meta, and cracky fun.

And now I'm kinda curious about Batman/Superman, ngl. I never cared much for Superman, but I have fond memories of Batman from way back when.

Thinking about Batman makes me think about Power Rangers, and I feel the need to see what kind of fic is out there for both. THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH.

This is the one I was just reading, it's ~pretty good. I have never even paid attention to Superman and my Batman knowledge doesn't go much passed the movies (I do love A Serious House on Serious Earth but that's not exactly typical Batcanon), but I have this mad thing for them hitting on each other's double identities and then fighting crime together. So much room for dramatic irony! I've never written it myself although I did once write some Batman/Ironman goop for, yes, a kink meme.

Mmm, Metal Gear is the only fandom I've been a social bunny in in an awfully long time, and it's not a large fandom, although it makes up for it in pure amazingness.

hahaha my ex-gf is into Super Sentai fandom, which is the Japanese side of Power Rangers fandom (Power Rangers is the American remake). So there is definitely stuff out there, although I have no idea what.

Heh, my Batman knowledge comes from watching the animated series when I was around seven/eight. Power Rangers just may have been my first fandom obsession ever when I was six/seven, or maybe it was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and He-Man when I was really little. I suddenly want to know what kind of fics are out there for all this stuff I was obsessed with before I knew what fandom was!

Also the link for the Batman/Superman fic isn't working. :(

huh, try this: http://archiveofourown.org/works/61504/chapters/81280

There were all kinds of things I got brief obsessions over but I figure my first serious fannish obsession was the Star Wars Expanded Universe but I fell out of it hard when I was about 14 or so and it took an abrupt turn for the crappy - so I permanently quit giving a shit. Fannish thinking/creating is so natural, isn't it? I didn't even know there was a whole fandom culture out there until I was 16 or so.

Ahhhhhhh that fic; ship so hard. That is exactly my braincrack, hnnnng. thank you.

Also took a look at some PR stuff, but none of the summaries looked interesting and I only care about the original series, ffff why am I wasting my time like this anyway. Good thing I don't have to be at work tomorrow until 12, haha.

One of my sisters is a big time Star Wars fan, lol. I once read some of the novels out of curiosity, but it's just not my thing. I used to watch Star Trek TNG and The X Files during their original airing, but the thing that really launched me into fandom culture was Valdemar when I was 17, ffffffffffffffffffffffff and then I spent the next couple of years dicking around in yaoi forums.

I KNOW RITE that ship dynamic aauughh <33333 What first got me into it was Alis Dee's fics for the pairing, although sadly the main one is unfinished. I just love all the double-identity play and its attendant wangst (AUGH SO RONERY, NO ONE KNOWS MY SEKRIT).

My first online fandom was Final Fantasy (readingwise, mostly VIII, writingwise, mostly IX - I love playing with its billion minor characters). It was huge and wanky but I learned a bit about the mechanics of writing fanfic (and it was other people's FFVIII fics that made me fall in love with first person present), and then I tried writing the LHM fics that I needed to - kk, i tend to mostly go for fic if there's an opportunity to address canon in some way, by elaborating on it or 'fixing' it or whatever, and oh god lol some things need fic more than others, and I started venting my own bereavement trauma all over it; not a good idea, wow was I not mature enough to deal with the combination of how much I cared and how much shitty fic there was out there, hence repeated ragequitting - but it was also the first real outlet I'd ever had. no wonder it is still my go-to place to offload trauma. Anyway I am still tickled that you left me two fic reviews in 2004. ;_;

Thene :( FWIW, I still like those two fics.

I feel the same way about fic; it's almost always the canons that are lacking in some way that I want to read and write about. Of course with Animorphs that means slashing the hell out of everybody, even the aliens. XD The canon het pairings are fun, and it's probably the only fandom besides Firefly where I happily read the het fics as well as the slash, but there is so much hot hate sex/angst potential with my fave slash pairing ;____;

I always wonder how common that is. Like, Homestuck? There are tons of ships I love but I've got no drive to read or write fic of them. I just want to see where canon is going. I can see loads of potential, and obviously there's a lot of other fans who're really up for writing it, but I'm not motivated enough to go there when I have other stuff to write as well. But it is nice having a canon het pairing I can love on so goddamn much. (Dave/Terezi - also infamous for the kink fic about Terezi licking Dave's eyeballs. I am still flat-out amazed at how good that fic is. IT'S EYEBALL-LICKING PORN, HOW CAN IT BE GOOD.)

SPEAKING OF HATESEX I have written you an entire scene of it now, and am tempted to focus my next efforts on trying to spruce up the buildup to it so I can offer you something resembling a Chapter 1, though god knows if I will ever slog my way to anything resembling a conclusion. sigh why does storytelling involve work, i just want to write the fun parts and be done with it. :(

I guess it must be more common than people think; if everyone got all their smooshy fandom needs met with canon then I guess there wouldn't be near as much fanfic as there is.

THAT FIC IS THE WEIRDEST THING EVER, AND STRANGELY INTRIGUING. I D E K if I had a wifi connection to mooch I would def have checked it out by now. :(

OH FFFFFFFFFFF YESSSSSS DO WANT. and I know the feeling. I guess I can tell you I also have some more V/S kink written. I have to work on it some more though. :D But it will be posted soonish.

I try not to be too pushy about Homestuck because it's so enormous but I really do love it ;__; It took me about 4 months on-and-off to read it all (largely because of my habit of drowning in something for a few days and then ignoring it for the next few weeks), and it gets bigger all the time.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more v/s kink! I shall be waiting for it most bouncily. <3

ooof, this one by the same author is short and brilliant and lolarious.

AHAHA, OMFG I LOVE EEEEET.

I like the neutral colors of your layout. It's very simple and clean-feeling. I changed mine up in a fit of boredom/because I wanted more color.

I wish WA was as warm as GA right now. We've had nothing but rain and cold. Then again, what's new?

mm, I like that feeling; I often go for monochromes & blues. I change mine fairly regularly, just because there's a lot of good options available.

The really funny part is the part where I'm trying to move to MA. /facepalm forever

I have a thing for yellows and oranges. I play around with the layout options so much it's like playing journal dress up!

Lol, MA? I hear they have real seasons and snow and shit! XD

I KNOW RITE I'M SO GONNA DIE :(

NO YOU WON'T, YOU'LL AT LEAST BE A VERY ATTRACTIVE ICICLE LADY
