In which I am grumpy in the manner of someone who was woken up far too early
by Susan ([info]not_cynical)
at July 20th, 2008 (06:31 pm)

We shall ignore the fact that it is nearly eight o'clock.

  • I keep thinking "I should post and let people know that I'm not sobbing over corpse of my poor, gutted internet connection!" before actually checking when I last posted and realising "... Oh yeah, I did that yesterday." *headdesks*
  • Ah well. I shall get comments replied to instead!
  • MEME SPAM: T H E N ↔ N O W
  • Now that FFVIII has been vanquished (Although I may play it AGAIN because I'm 90% sure I've forgotton everything that's happened.), I'm playing FFTA2 again. Bless Luso, he's a sweetheart. And I love the logic for this game: "IF YOU WANT TO GO HOME, YOU MUST HAVE FUN AND AWESOME ADVENTURES." Not even trying to give this a fetch smash crystals! quest of a plot (Why yes, I am looking at you FFTA), just told by the exposition guy to go and play the game.
  • ALSO I was in GAME and saw the back of the box for this (Susan loev her R4. Susan is definitely getting Nay and Jill one of these for Christmas so she can whore out games without having to fork out for it.) and VAAN AND PENELO WERE ON THE BACK. DEAR SQUEENIX I DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO TELL YOU TO STOP WITH THE CROSSOVERS OR FLAIL AT THE THOUGHT. Either way, if this is a lie I will be Quite Upset.)
  • ... I think I know which mission you could get Vaan and Penelo from and I think it was one that timed out while I was looking for the location. SIGH.
  • I think I'm going to Bury at some point to try and get the lid of my PSP fixed (a screw's come out on one side as far as I can tell, which looks too fiddly for me to attempt.). I'll ask the guy if he knows anything about the error messages while I'm there, seeing as the people I emailed told me to call the helpline. DEAR FIXING PEOPLE: I EMAILED YOU BECAUSE I DON'T USE THE PHONE. Rar. ... No I am not considering emailing back and telling them I don't have access to a phone. Much. Then again, I want them to help, soooo... *eyes the phone doubtfully*
  • GUYS JILL HAS CONNED [info]wolfbladed INTO LENDING HER APOLLO JUSTICE IN EXCHANGE FOR (MY!) PHOENIX WRIGHT 3. This was DESPITE my attempts to KEEP THAT THING OUT OF MY HOUSE. Clearly I will never be able to win against it.
  • I stand by my belief that Apollo Justice is all an elaborate dream sequence caused by the mutant crabs I wished on Capcom a while back. Nothing and no one will convince me otherwise. I mean, if it ISN'T a mutant-crab-caused-dream, WHERE IS NICK AND MILES BEING VERY GAY AT EACH OTHER. *twitches*
  • ... Oh yeah! Commenting and writing, brb.

    current song: here lies everything, the world i wanted at my feet

    spoiler )

    I have to admit that I was somewhat distracted because I finally figured out why that giant orange chair looked familiar. I've sat in it! Back in '05 I went to a New Year's Party at that house with Cindy and PJ (I could have sworn I posted about it back then but I can't find the post). It was a sci-fi theme party, there were 3 girls dressed as Leeloo and about 30 Trekkies. :D I can't believe it took me so long to recognize it, Billy's been sitting in front of the bar the whole time. ::facepalm:: I'm pretty sure the guy in the purple suit is the guy that owns the place, he looks familiar, I met him. He's a sweetie.

    OMG I'm SO HAPPY it's back I love this show so much there are no words. Such a good decision to watch over SGA, the only way SGA will be better than Psych is if Lorne gets like 90% more screentime and there's really no chance of that happening.

    A few quick thoughts, I might be back with more after I watch the midnight rerun )

    Hee Monk was good too, a little predictable but enjoyable.

    And now for SGA )

    current song: with my freeze ray i will stop the world

    There's a big (by Czech standards) park to the north of Prague called Cesky Raj (Czech Paradise). One of Mel's students took her there - his English wasn't too good so he just told her he was going to show her rocks.
    "Like a rock garden?"
    'No, rocks.'
    "Rock climbing?"
    'Rocks!'
    They were indeed rocks. And they're very cool rocks. So Mel took us, and I died because I'm in worse shape than everyone else, and in between praying I didn't have a heart attack and squeezing through tiny gaps while clutching desperately to the safety rail, I took some pictures.
    I haven't photoshopped them yet, maybe I'll do that later when I'm feeling less lazy...

    There was some stuff other than rocks too. )

    LET THE GIRLY PORN BEGIN!
    by What's in a name? ([info]shananagin)
    at July 18th, 2008 (03:50 pm)

    The prompts are in, and now it's time for the 2008 DCU FEMSLASH PORN BATTLE to begin!

    But how is it a porn BATTLE, you ask?

    Whoever writes the most wins! On August 1, I'll declare the battle over and make a list of everything written. Because apparently I like lists a lot. Who ever wrote the most gets a lovely banner by [info]shadowkitten87! If you don't want to write that much that's okay too! You can write as many or as few as you want. I'll make a second banner for everyone who participated.

    Now, I've only got two rule for this. Besides that, pretty much everything goes.

    1. GRAMMAR IS IMPORTANT! I don't care if you misspell a few words or use who instead of whom. But I'm going to assume that everyone playing here is an adult, and therefore they should have at least a high school level proficiency at writing. Basically, this is not Fanfiction.net, and if you write like it is, I'll delete your fic. I will comment first to tell you that I'm deleting it and why. I won't be very strict, but I want to be able to read these things without my inner grammar nazi threatening to kill people.

    Please, please, please follow it. Spell check exists for a reason. So does the shift key. Use the two of them appropriately, and I probably won't have a problem.

    2. DO NOT BREAK YOUR PROMPTS INTO TWO PARTS! Just post it to your own journal and link to it exactly as you would if it were one fic. I'm happy you're writing so much, but please, please, please do it this way. It makes it easier for me.

    OKAY NOW, on to the prompts!

    DCU )

    DCAU )

    Crossovers )

    I was going to organize them by fandom in the general DCU, but it gave me way too much pain. As it is, my attempts to organize made me forget that there are two Kates in the DCU. So I'm not entirely sure which of the Kates are Batwoman and which are Manhunter. Feel free to guess, check the prompts or ask me.

    Speaking of which! If you have any questions, reply to the first comment with them. That way the rest of the comments can all be actual fics.

    I understand that some people have trouble writing graphic sex or just don't want to. That's fine! This is a porn battle, but it doesn't have to be a graphic porn battle. HOWEVER, it is still a porn battle. You should include sex in some way, though it can be a fade to black or just not a graphic description of it if you want. If you want to write fic with no sex, by all means, still include it. It'll be an honorable mention, though, and not count towards the total number of prompts you've done.

    If someone's already filled a prompt you want to do, that's fine! Do it anyway! The more the merrier!

    Use this heading in the subject when posting.

    TITLE: Fandom: Pairing, Prompt

    If it's a crossover, the fandom should look like this.

    Crossover: Fandom.

    You don't need to say that it's DCU/Fandom because we already know it's DCU. Just the other fandom will do.

    The second comment will be a correctly formatted fic if you want an example.

    Yay! Go write! And comment on other people's writing! And everything!

    ETA: For the next week I probably won't be around very much because I am traveling, but I'll check up every now and then to make sure no one's killing each other and stuff.

    ETA2: [info]pendown's post reminded me. If it's too long, DON'T split it into two comments. Post it to your journal than comment the exact same way with a link where the text would go. Sorry for forgetting that, [info]pendown! Also, I added it into the rules.

    ETA3: JUST TO BE CLEAR. ALL COMMENTS TO THE ENTRY DIRECTLY SHOULD BE ANSWERING PROMPTS. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR A COMMENT THAT ISN'T A FIC, PUT IT IN THE FIRST COMMENT! Or I will delete your comment. Geeze, people is it that hard to read this post?

    GUYS I AM TRYING NOT TO GET MY HOPES UP FOR THE WATCHMEN FILM BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL BE DIRE.

    I'm not sure whether the trailer helps or not, but I go "SHINY!" at it a lot. LOOK AT JON. AND RORSCHACH. *flails*

    It will probably be dire. It will. Nite Owl looks like Batman for a start, Jesus. I'm going to see it anyway, but it will.

    And speaking of probably dire films that I'm going to see - I may go see The Dark Knight when it comes out here, because they were showing clips of it on the BBC of all things, and I spent the whole time going "... The Joker reminds me of someone!"

    Then I sat up at about three in the morning and went "HE REMINDS ME OF UNCLE FESTER!"

    Clearly after coming to THAT conclusion I have to go and see it. PLUS Christian Bale, of COURSE I'm there.

    current song: Psych

    Do I want to watch Psych or SGA at 9? I'm tempted to go with Psych because the SGA rerun is at 11 while the Psych rerun is at 12, but eep I just don't know. I suppose we'll see at 9.

    Anyway, Happy Monk and Psych and SGA day! Oh tv how I've missed you.

    I saw Dark Knight last night! It was good, too long though. I wish they'd know when to end big movies like this. It's like they have to keep cramming things in to justify it being a huge blockbuster type movie. But still I really liked it which is good since I'm probably going to have to watch it at least 2 more times (although in IMAX both times which'll be AWESOME)

    Yes, it is that awesome.

    I'm not going to review or anything, except to say that you have to see it.

    Also, I wore my Flash T-shirt to it. Why? Because I am really easily amused.

    I want more movies with speedsters.

    Tomorrow I'm posting the prompts list for the porn battle. Now I'm sleeping.

  • ... I suddenly want Zell-and-Rinoa fic. I mean, this isn't a new thing, I've wanted it since the thing with the ring, but uh. Yeah. Guys, who do I go to for it?
  • This writing business. Pencils and wotnot. I used to do that, didn't I? *eyes the pile of notebooks waiting for her to type stuff up*
  • After pondering on something that bugged me in series two of Heroes: Cut for spoilers. )
  • I am sketching out the gratuitous plot for the FFVIII epic of doom Nay is conning me into (And I do mean sketching; stick-man Odine for the win.) and uh. Gratuitous plot looks a lot more COMPLICATED now I've got it down as more than a bullet-pointed list of things I want to happen, and now I'm actually putting thought into "This goes here, and affects this, and there is cause-and-effect" it suddenly appears mildly terrifying.
  • By which I mean THIS WILL BE FUN! :D and then I duck very quickly because after looking at it again I have this horrible feeling that I've gone to write pairing fic and wound up with something that'll turn out to be gen. That's both TYPICAL and kind of a relief - I haven't sat down and ended up with genfic for a while, and I miss it. Ah well, we'll see how it turns out when I actually get the whole thing written.
  • YES self, take a course where all the books that you look at are HIDEOUSLY EXPENSIVE. On the plus side, I managed to get a few out of the library, so I've got something to be reading through. Woo.
  • This is for Nay and other people who didn't believe Cable and Deadpool was really, really gay: DEADPOOL'S DARKEST DESIRE.
  • For those who're wondering what the "I am writing" post is about - I'm writing PSoH fic again. Mainly because I need to remember how to write it - I tried to write fic for Cass and Stormie, and it's just not working as the eight drafts show. I figure - if I write something else, it'll be easier when I try to write the real fic. If that makes sense?

    ... There is fic. With words going in something like in the right order. I - I feel dizzy now.
