be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (YJ: Kaldur: bring it on)
First up! There were some beautiful things written for me recently.

written for me + two vid recs + comic rec )

stuff I've written recently )

And while I don't feel like tracking down all the stuff I wrote this year, I figure I might as well answer the end-of-year writing questions meme because why not?

talking about fic )

Um, I'm also going to declare this free-for-all on asking me anything about anything I've written. I kind of doubt there are questions, but if there are feel free to ask, or tell me that I got something wrong, or other stuff.

Happy New Year, everyone!

So NFE reveals went up a while ago and I - neglected to mention mine here. Or stick it on A03. This is now rectified!

a cloud tangled in the tale of a kite
Narnia. Liliandil. Liliandil/Caspian.
On LJ. On A03.
Her heart is beating very fast indeed, and where she can feel the pulse at the corner of his wrist his is as well.


This is actually more or less a sequel to last year's NFE, your least gesture beckoned a constellation. (I even titled them from the same poem. I know, I know.) At first I was kind of worried as to whether I could write another fic about Liliandil, but as it turns out I quite like her and writing her - I should do it more often, but then again her and Caspian's lives just make me really, really sad. I hope I did justice to her. There was more I wish I could have figured out how to put in, on her tangled loyalties and maybe some meta on how stars work, but I got stuck too many times when I tried and I didn't have enough time to make it work. (I think it would have taken a long time.)

I've been working on the last thing for the We Love The Women That Fandom Hates fest, but it keeps being too big and taking too long. It will show up someday, I promise. :P

real life stuff )

So there's a couple of icon memes going around! First round is from [personal profile] fallingtowers . :D

icon meme responses! )

Also have watched 2x01 of Downton Abbey and have a LOT of feelings about it. Feel free to ask me about them!

Day 2 & 3

be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (DC: Batgirl: bad cop worse cop)
 Yesterday I was on duty or at a party all day, so there was no posting. It's still only day 2 for a lot of the world, though, so I don't feel too bad. :P Today I am also on most of the day, and I feel kind of like crap, so there will not be much today.

So for Day 2 & 3, you guys are getting tiny fics. This also comes with a tentative promise to write a three-sentence fic in comments for any prompts given. Prompts can be given for my main three characters, as well as my seven bonus ladies - Kara Thrace (Battlestar Galactica), Stephanie Brown (DC), Martha Jones (Doctor Who), Ginny Weasley (Harry Potter), Guinevere (Merlin), M'gann M'orzz (Young Justice), and Amy Pond (Doctor Who).

hydration
Narnia. Susan & Lucy. Gen. 173 words.

sisters! )

family affairs
DC. Cassandra Cain & Damian Wayne. Gen. 224 words.
spoilers for Gates of Gotham #5.

more family! )

secrets kept
Young Justice. Artemis & Dick Grayson. Gen. 316 words.
Spoilers for Young Justice 1x08.

I just feel like they should be best friends okay. )

three minutes down but who's counting
DC. Stephanie Brown and Dick Grayson. Gen. 436 words.

death traps and quipping all in a day's work. experience needed. )


be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (DC: Batgirl: smile and dodge)
 First, some recs!

Vialethe wrote some gorgeous Last Battle AU Susan/Edmund travelling the world. 

Beccatoria did a lovely DCAU Wonder Woman vid, "I'm Holding Out For A Hero."

[personal profile] settiai did a fantastic Doctor Who Rory/Amy vid, "You Told The Drunks I Knew Karate". THEY HAVE PERFECT FACES.

Someone wrote me a lovely Ramandu's Island fic for the Narnia Fic Exchange, This is not an ending. I've been bad and neglectful and am only now commenting on it, but I really enjoyed it.

Stuff by me that I never mentioned here! My Remix fic.

Secret Virtues (the Blackmail and Bars Remix)
Highlander: The Series. Amanda, Methos. Pretty much gen. 1,003 words.

Amanda and Methos are definitely my favorite two characters from Highlander, and I love their interactions in canon, so this was quite fun to write. It's a little bit silly. :P

I'm currently speeding through reading the Alex Rider series. (The school library has all of them but the second.) You guys, the level of psychological damage this kid is carrying after just four books is INSANE. I shudder to think of how totally broken he's going to be after 8. 

Communication levels here where I work: MINIMAL. We had a meeting three weeks after I got here where we were finally given a list of specific instructions for our jobs. Yeah. Before that we'd just been doing whatever we'd been told to do and not really knowing what we were supposed to do. I know. There was something on the list of specific duties about "checking the dorms every 30 minutes". I asked about it because I'd never been told to do that or seen anyone do that (including the two people telling me to do it), and they both looked at me and were like "Oh, nobody's told you that?" ... NO, okay, no, because nobody tells anybody anything in this hostel! 

But mostly work is going okay. I may be coming down with chicken pox? Aidan had shingles and I've been feeling kind of bad the past few days. Tomorrow I have all day off so I'm going to sleep a lot and drink a lot of water and hopefully feel better. (It probably hasn't helped that my stomach has once again hit the "oh dear god this food is awful" spot and can't take most of it. I'll have to go to the grocery store today after lunch and see if I can find something decent to eat.) 

Downloading takes so long on this connection.

I sort of love being pretty independent. :D And having money regularly. (Though I am trying to avoid spending most of it. My pay goes straight through to my card, and I try to only use the cash I get from vacuuming a lady's house on Friday's. :D)

I'm writing! I feel really happy about that. I think I'm going to do a "works in progress" meme sometime soon, because I keep fluttering between them and I could use the incentive to finish them. (It's kind of a bizarre list.)

be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (Narnia: Edmund: there are things I regre)
I have been FICCING on Tumblr! I've still got Katakokk's prompt to write, probably sometime late tomorrow. :) CAN'T STOP WON'T TRY TO.

that's rosemary for remembrance
Narnia. Edmund, Lucy, Caspian. ~750 words. Mostly gen? For metonomia.

It's quiet in the early dawn. )

toast and frogs
Narnia. Pevensies. Gen. 170 words. For intrikate88.

Lucy and shenanigans. )

ALSO CAN I JUST SAY THIS IS A POEM ABOUT THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER OMG *weeps*

here

Here between the country
that will not remember our love
and the sea, our clothes spill

like sand from a tilted
palm. Then we are walking
arm in arm. We are gazing

in the same, unwavering direction.
There is no need to mourn
for what we have left behind.

Look as our footprints
evaporate when we approach
the chiming of waves, waves

rising and tugging at us like joy.
This is not an ending
and time has not been

unkind. We reach the edge
of our lives. We stop in awe
of how much further we have to go.

Cyril Wong

ALL THE NARNIA FEELINGS. IN THE WORLD.

be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (Default)
I have turned in all my applications except for the one that is due on the 1st of February! I am assembling some poetry for consideration in scholarships at two of them, which involves a great deal of polishing and going "aaaaaagh why don't I write short stories that are not fannish!".

ALSO I did Yuletide, because I was eligible for the first time eveeer and I wasn't going to pass up on that. And I got Eagle of the Ninth fic!

Aedificāre, by opalmatrix. It is utterly delightful and everything I wanted. I can't believe how lucky I got! IT'S AWESOME. It is subtle, subtle Esca/Marcus/Cottia OT3 as they build the farm and tiptoe around each other and become bestest best friends eveeeeeer. :DDD you should totally read it.

And I wrote:

The Things We Say Are True
Skyhigh. PG-13. Penny/Gwen, Warren.
“I’ve broken a lot of personal rules for you,” Penny says.

Which was quite fun to write, in the end. I really enjoyed it. :D

in other news, I somehow ended up creating a three-part, 21 song fanmix for what's really nothing more than me messing around with typical procedurals/supernatural hunting shows. Or what I had thought was just me having fun! Apparently sometime my brain got serious over it? NO. Bad brain! get back to Cabin Fever, it needs you! no more new projects! 

also, my dad comes home this week sometime (which is good, mostly, though difficult as always), school is about to start up again (OMG YAY my schedule is so pretty this spring!), I have actual free time for another week, I'm doing some secretary work for my mom which I shall get paid for, and in general things are shaping up! YAY. TRIPLE YAY. IMAGINE ME GRINNING HAPPILY HERE. The only downside is me having been sick for a week, but even that is getting better!

be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (SPN: Jo: a great big world)
things I did tonight while avoiding an essay.

creatures with unknown gods
Supernatural. Castiel & Balthazar. PG. ~150 words. Title from the poem Waves.

Read more... )

be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (HL: Methos: not afraid to run away)
Rock climbing! OMG YAY. We've been going a lot the past few days. Also staying up really late, eating too much icecream, and watching lots and lots of House. (My mom is up in Virginia, has been since Friday. She gets back late tonight.)

ANYWAYS. Rock climbing! :D I'm really really thrilled because I've been kind of annoyed the past few times that I wasn't able to find a V2 to try, as I've finished all the V1's except for the upside-down one (I'm not so big on being upside down). But! They just redid a lot of the routes, so most of them aren't marked at all, which means I had to guess at difficulty. I finally picked one and started going for it, and I'm doing well! I've gotten to matching on the second-to-last move - I've just got to get the right hand up and then left hand over (ha. just.). I find it kind of hilarious how when I'm doing V1's most of the people are sort of casually helpful and the good ones mostly just ignore you, but once I started this one (which I'd say is at least a V2, poooossibly higher), the good guys are suddenly like "you have a hold there! come on you can do it!" and when you fall you realize THREE different guys were spotting you. One of which is the ridiculously good guy you've been envying for the past two weeks, and all three of whom are extremely good looking. Let me just say, rock climbing becomes even more awesome at that point. Yeah, yeah, shallow, but. :P

Oh yeah! Also I wrote my CasFest and turned it in. Finally.

Far From His Home
Supernatural. Castiel, over time. "I am not, as you say, a hammer." PG-13. Castiel, Anna, Gabriel, Jimmy, Dean. ~2,000 words.

At AO3. Original post at CastielFest.

Commenting at A03 is really easy. All they require is a name and an email address, or an account there. Or you can comment on these posts if you'd rather, I don't particularly mind.

be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (Primeval: Stephen&Connor: like brothers)
 random mini fic! 

the birds and the bees
Narnia. Edmund, Eustace. PG-13. 271 words.

Edmund has a frank talk with Eustace )

be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (Narnia: group: now a big hug!)
 things I want: lots more indulgent world-building fic about a world Doctor Who  )

you know, the more things I hear about SPN S6, the more I get excited for it! it's sounding kind of epic. 

poetry is EPIC, guys! especially when you're relating it to fandom, which means that [livejournal.com profile] gid_hanasheh and [livejournal.com profile] motherlessguns are awesome and that everyone should watch them.

man, SPN is addictive, isn't it? and it spreads like wildfire! let's see. I got Lass hooked, Lass got Z and Wyrm into it (and I think others I don't know), Larm and I got Meto and Irish and Kate into it, and now I'm sort of worried for ALL OF YOU GUYS' SANITY. SPN will steal it! and rip your heart out! oh wait, you know that now. 

I want to watch Happy Town, because it's crazy and fun, but at the same time - it creeped me out SO badly, and that was just the first episode. I think I have to be very careful about how I'm doing emotionally before I finish watching it. 

I did, however, watch the SyFy Alice, which has been on my list for a long time, and Alice/Hatter is adorable, y'all. Also everyone kicks ass! I always enjoy that.

I get to plan hopeful college-visiting! YAY.

be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (Narnia: group: now a big hug!)
This is a particularly special piece of fail. You know, I'm fully aware of how very, very lucky I am that I don't require medication (though I'd probably be better off with it). Not everyone has that privilege. I guess what I'm saying is SHUT UP, ROBIN HOBB.

MEME TIME. 

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons. [it may not be instant but I'll do it!]
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee.


This time from [personal profile] medie !

in which Prentiss demands an explanation, and Gwen is a knight-on-the-road with Lancelot. )

And from [personal profile] whynot -

Comment with a link to an awesome song on YouTube, and I will:
1. Respond with something random about you.
2. Tell you which color you remind me of.
3. Tell you my first memory of you.
4. Tell you what animal you remind me of.
5. Ask you something I've always wondered about you.
6. Tell you who I ship you with.
7. Challenge you to post this on your journal.

GUYS I think there should be a Team Free Will: The Next Generation comment extravaganza sometime! Perhaps now? WHENEVER WHEREVER. EVERYONE SHOULD WRITE THEEEM. GO FOR IT.

so I was just thinking about things like Casfest and how I am totally nervous about whether I can actually write Castiel well enough and then I realized that OMG IT IS [personal profile] whynot 's BIRTHDAY YAY! Happy birthdaaaaay, Lass! You are amazing! Not least of all for helping get together Casfest, that thing of beauty! FIRSTLY let me pimp Casfest for you.

be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (SPN: Castiel: this altogether thunder)
so today in English we finished watched Death of a Salesman, the one with Dustin Hoffman, a.k.a. the absurdly homoerotic one. I was pretty convinced that Biff was going to start making out with Happy any second now, and I was not the only one in my class to see it! others were kind of like '.... this family seems CLOSER than most.'

because I am just Like That, I naturally promptly wrote a snippet of fic while waiting to be picked up, and then a snippet of SPN fic, because tiny spoilers for SPN 4x16. must protect Meto and Winged! ).

(also I went shopping today, which was really fun. being girly can be quite nice!)

Title: Winds To Catch

Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia/Mary Poppins (a mix of movieverse/bookverse)
Characters/Pairings: Susan Pevensie & Mary Poppins
Rating: PG
Warnings: none.
Wordcount: ~1,300
Summary: "Come with me," Mary says, and Susan doesn't hesitate because this is the second chance she thought she'd already lost alongside everyone who could give it to her.
Author's Note: This was an absolute JOY to write and edit. I <3 Lass and Wyrm endless, endless amounts, and I think everyone should fics where Susan runs around having friends and being AWESOME. Also, we don't really remember who wrote which parts. :P Anything to add, Lass & Wyrm? I can edit it in for you!

Mary Poppins measures Susan with her measuring tape. )

be_themoon: I want a better world. By me. (Default)

Warnings: nothing explicitly depicted
Wordcount: ~4,200
Summary: "Minotaur," Edmund corrects automatically. "I'm Edmund."
Author's Note: For the 'a ficathon walks into a bar' challenge. If you're saying, "But Betsy! That only had a 500-word requirement!", well. Yes, yes it did. I don't know what happened, okay? All sorts of thanks go to lady_songsmith for instigating and metonomia for instigating and beta-ing. Along with rthstewart they listened to my anguished moaning about "It's so long! I don't know what the plot is! Help!" and were sympathetic. Thanks, guys! Lastly: this fic has a soundtrack. Sort of, in the sense that I listened to two songs more or less on repeat while writing it. Life Less Ordinary by Carbon Leaf, and Human by The Killers.

He leaves his last name off. No need for Ianto to go back to Torchwood's really super secret base and look him up and cause problems )

you guys omg Lass erased this temporary flesh and bone and it is beautiful and you should all go read it! so pretty. *_* in other, less important news, I wrote Lethe being confused about religion. I have mentioned fanfic is my catharsis, yes? though this ended up not really being about my issues at all, oddly.

Characters/Pairings: Mary, Lethe
Rating: G
Warnings: None!
Summary: Lethe does not understand religion.

She lights a candle and you watch her kneel. )
