I am going to do a kind of big post right here. This is partially because I have been absolute crap at updating recently and therefore have a lot to, but also because I am procrastinating on a) NaNo, b) college essay, c) Crossover Exchange, and d) Yuletide. (I know, right, I just received my assignment and I'm already procrastinating. Even though I like my prompt. I'm a GENIUS at this stuff.)
FIRST OFF omg omg you guys you know the book Avalon High by Meg Cabot? ( spoilers for book and movie )
So yes I think you should all go watch that, or just like skip through anything that's not about her being awesome and then write fic about it because LADY. KING. ARTHUR. guys.
...( sadfacing about brain )
anyways I love you all and someday I will write a PROPER update that involves things like Stuff That I'm Doing instead of just lists of things I'm procrastinating on and crying about. I promise.
oh and yes I also made like. a MASSIVE icons post. it is HERE.
it includes:
7 Avalon High (Allie as King Arthur)
16 Fables (Cinderella) (remind me to talk to you guys about Fables, DCnU, and Once Upon a Time at some point)
20 Alex Rider
7 Batman Beyond (Max Gibson)
7 Young Justice (Artemis)
7 The Authority
27 Miscellaneous Comics (Lady Sabre, X-Factor, Young Avengers, Birds of Prey, Ice, Wonder Woman, Stephanie Brown, Cassandra Cain, Aquagirl, Gunnerkrigg Court)
here are some of the icons in it

assorted stuff
Sep. 21st, 2011 09:38 amSo 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
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!

Apr. 27th, 2011 04:03 pmso yesterday I got like twelve hours of sleep. I feel properly alive for the first time in weeks.
FIRST OF ALL
( spoilers for Justice League: Generation Lost 24 )
in other news, I finally dumped my icons. 41 icons in assorted fandoms (predominantly DCU, especially Batgirl) can be found here on LJ and here on DW.
Preview:



(And suddenly I realize who I need to icon: HAWKEYE, MY LOVE. Young Avengers is basically my only Marvel love.)
I would also like to note that Nikita is a really freaking courageous show. ( sorta spoilery )

Re: real life. *sigh* Crushes are just so inconvenient, especially when you are almost definitely leaving the country in three months and not coming back for a year but still kind of want to try to date someone. Like, really kind of want to. Feelings are just too much trouble, I swear.
guys. guys.
one of the reasons I'd always been a little bit wary of comics was because I wasn't sure I'd appreciate how they treated women, but Stephanie Brown just rapidly became one of my favorite characters ever. I haven't read her comics as Spoiler and Robin (partially because I know tragic things happen to her in them and that would make me horribly sad), but her run as Batgirl has basically been one long moment of total awesome.
THINGS ABOUT STEPHANIE: ayries explanation of why she loves her on Tumblr, plus a little add-on from me. It addresses what I love most about Stephanie - she's not in this for the glory, or for revenge - she's in it for the people she helps, entirely, and she's here to bring hope to a line of work most of the Batfamily brings a gloom and despair attitude to. She never loses her smile. She may want others to approve of her, but their disapproval doesn't stop her from doing what she feels is her calling. She's still in love with Tim Drake, but when he comes back she realizes that starting up their relationship again would be about as far from healthy as it gets and tells him so, bluntly.
( more things! including two bits from her comics, icons, etc. )

it is memetime!
Jun. 10th, 2010 05:20 pmThis 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
medie !
( in which Prentiss demands an explanation, and Gwen is a knight-on-the-road with Lancelot. )
And from
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.

I'm going to go with it was good, though it is hard to tell through my haze of "WTF OMG WTF".

Jun. 11th, 2009 11:49 amI realized today that although I haven't been doing much in the icon-making area recently (due to not having PS, only GIMP) I'm long overdue to dump them.
So I did. Here @
be_theicons , 31 multi-fandom icons (8 LotR, 10 Narnia, 11 Avatar, 2 Misc).

watch the stars go out
May. 4th, 2009 11:04 amI went through my icons, cleared out, added new, etc. Now have 1 each of Mulan, LotR and Avatar, 2 of Merlin, and 5 of Narnia, plus five spaces. I have yet to decide what will go in those, but I think a Galadriel icon is definitely in order. *loves Galadriel*
almostinstinct , I should hopefully have your fic up by tonight.
katakokk , yours will probably follow shortly.
Idea in my brain that wants to be written despite me telling it to shut up: Peter meets Eustace. Eustace is overly enthusiastic about how pretty Narnia is, how it was a smashing adventure and all. Peter gives him the 'I will beat you to death with a shovel' look. Shenanigans ensue, possibly.
Started work on the first chapter of Happenstance Harbor 'verse (tentatively titled 'At The First Glimpse of Thunder'). Yay for writing in chronological order and all that!

Mar. 29th, 2009 12:24 pmBecause I'm too busily being peaceful and kind of happy (which is WEIRD, because I was angry yesterday) to do anything but a meme. <333
the icon love you meme!
