1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Put iTunes or equivalent media player on random.
3. For each song that plays, write something related to the theme you picked inspired by the song. You have only the time frame of the song: no planning beforehand: you start when it starts, and no lingering afterward; once the song is over, you stop writing. (No fair skipping songs either; you have to take what comes by chance!)
4. Do 5 of these, then post.

Oh God, watch me get all the weird filler songs that Beck puts on his albums JUST 'CAUSE. Or, like, the one Jesse McCartney song I downloaded for this CD I made for some friends. Whatever, I need the practice.

I think I'll do Peter/Nathan, since I've been lurking around [info]flyingpetrellis for ages and never actually posted anything.

Actually, I kind of like this. )

OH MY GOD I FINISHED A FIC [May. 11th, 2008|01:18 pm]
[Tags|, , , , , , , , , , , , , ]
[Location |Home again]
[Feeling | accomplished]
[Blasting |Big Wheel: Tori Amos]

Oh snap! I'm back, and I've finally actually written something and finished it. :D THIS IS ASTOUNDING.

Okay, it's probably going to need sequels at some point, but whatever. I think I'll just do a series of one-shots like it.

Title: Kansas
Fandom: Death Note
Characters/Pairing: L/Light
Rating: Pg-13 for some language and violence
Summary: Normalverse AU. The boys have graduated and are working as L and Light, world's greatest detectives. L, much to Light's chagrin, has decided to take a case in a tiny little town in Kansas with a serious serial killer problem. This is the first in what is hopefully a series of one-shots about the various cases they take on in this universe.
Author's Note: I apologize to people living in Kansas. Light's views are not necessarily my own, nor do I think your state is full of serial killers.

Light was used to city streets and skyscrapers, not, like, amber waves of grain. )

Title: Cardiff
Fandom: Still Death Note
Characters/Pairings: Still L/Light
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Set sometime after Kansas. The boys are in Cardiff, and L has something of a (completely irrational) problem with that.
Author's Note: I did NOT make any Torchwood references in this fic. You have no idea how hard that was. NO IDEA.

He was going to have to brush up on his Welsh. )


Title: Tel Aviv
Fandom: Death Note
Characters/Pairings: L/Light
Rating: PG
Summary: The boys go to Tel Aviv, where the sun is strong and the army is stronger (and less discreet).

So he took a case in the middle of the freaking desert. )

Title: Venice
Fandom: Death Note
Characters/Pairing: L/Light
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Italy, on the whole, has a weird habit of making attractive people even more attractive. Especially Light.
Author's Note: Originally this was a walking tour of Rome, but I didn't want to break the habit of not doing capitals. Also, my grandma makes a random cameo here. I don't know, I went to Venice with my grandparents once. Go with it.

Venice kind of suited Light. )

Icon time! A TIME FOR ICONS. [Feb. 17th, 2008|05:22 pm]

[Location |In a DIFFERENT bed]

[Blasting |Your Type: Pansy Division]

Since my brain is currently being eaten by the Big Pile of Good Omens Crossovers I Need to Write and my Death Note AU (I think I'll refer to it as the Normalverse from here on out), I figured it was a good time to make some icons. YAY ICONS.

Actually, I made the Heroes icons in, like, November, but never got around to posting them which explains why they aren't as good. Oh well?

Credit is nice but not necessary. Enjoy. :D

[Feeling | chipper]
[Blasting |Jupiter's Lament: Smashing Pumpkins]

Gah, finally. It feels so good to actually be completing things again. I really needed this.

Title: Catalyst
Fandom: Death Note
Pairing: Light/L
Rating: PG-13 for swearing and innuendo, maybe?
Summary: AU. L is a displaced college student with a penchant for overthinking things. Light is an ordinary (though popular) boy, likewise a college student, with occasional sociopathic tendencies. Together, they DON'T FIGHT CRIME! This is the story of their first kiss.
Author's Note: Light and L may seem a little OOC here, as L is young and inexperienced and Light is neither homicidal nor trying to prove otherwise. Also, this was actually written as a sort of prologue for something I'm still working on right now, so keep your eye out? If you liked this fic, I mean.

The tiny L in the back of his mind kept telling him it was illogical. )

A/G fic, and it's about time [Oct. 28th, 2007|01:48 pm]

[Feeling | content]
[Blasting |Ocean Breathes Salty: Modest Mouse]

I've only been lurking in [info]grindeldore for how many months now? It's not that long, but OH WELL. I like it.

Title: Destinations
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Albus Dumbledore/Gellert Grindelwald
Rating: Light PG
Summary: After Harry leaves the station, Dumbledore finally embarks on the next great adventure.
Author's Note: It's divided into two parts, because the two parts have different feels to them. Also, I don't know if it's clear, but this fic works under the assumption that Dumbledore's been waiting for Harry in limbo in the body Harry sees him in since he died.

Around him, Kings Cross Station faded to a green field dotted with wildflowers )

A multichapter fic? OH NOES. [Aug. 25th, 2007|12:11 am]

[Feeling | curious]
[Blasting |Don't Stop Me Now: Queen]

Well, as much as I hate the thought of having WIPs in what is essentially my online portfolio, I guess I'll make an exception for this one. It might be nice to have a series going, even if it is only three or so chapters long. In any case, I'm kind of eager for some feedback about the concept itself. So here goes:

Title: The Road to Redemption, Part One: A Very Worrisome Habit
Fandom: Good Omens
Pairing: Crowley/Aziraphale
Rating: PGish
Summary: In which Aziraphale gently calls Crowley's attention to the fact that love is not the Sort of Thing that demons generally do.
Author's note: There seem to be quite a few fics concerning Aziraphale and Falling, but almost none about Crowley's own limitations. I tried to remedy that here. :3 Enjoy?

Demons were not supposed to be content. Angels were content. )

Title: The Road to Redemption, Part Two: Lux Ex Machina
Rating: PG
Summary: In which Crowley learns that his immediate bosses are as mistaken about some things as they are about others, and Certain Persons prove that divine beings are not the only sort of beings that can appear in machines.
Author's Note: Certain Persons did not turn out as ditzy as I originally intended them to be. Woe.

He was just looking around for a parking spot when the music stopped and a booming voice came over the radio. )

[Feeling | crazy]
[Blasting |Talk to me, dance with me: Hot Hot Heat]

First off, I'm back! With a new computer that WON'T break down every two weeks (or so).
Secondly, I'm sorry.
The bunnies. They bit. I had to do it. Hopefully you won't hate me for it. Maybe you'll even like it? MAYBE. :o

Title: Strange Benedictions
Fandom: Boondock Saints/Good Omens (crossover)
Pairings: Crowley/Aziraphale, Connor/Murphy
Rating: PG-13 for language, slash, twincest
Summary: Connor and Murphy go out for drinks while in London, and Crowley and Aziraphale happen to recognize them. This takes place sometime after the movie and book.
Author's note: Sorry about this. XD I kind of had to do it. Well, it makes me laugh, hopefully you will find it funny as well. Enjoy?

We seem to have saints walking the streets of London. )

And here are some entertaining drabbles and ficlets:

Title: Terms of Endearment
Fandom: Good Omens
Pairing: Crowley/Aziraphale
Rating: PG
Word count: 100 (title not included)

He wasnt sure when it became a term of endearment )

Title: She Knew
Fandom: Boondock Saints
Pairings:Connor/Murphy
Rating: Pg-13 to R

Of course she knew. They were her boys )

Here be Deathly Hallows spoilers. Just sayin'.

Long-ass Shakespeare ficcery [Jun. 7th, 2007|02:38 am]
[Tags|, , , , , , , , , ]
[Feeling | Tired but satisfied]
[Blasting |Biittersweet Symphony: The Verve]

Title:The Abbey
Fandom: Shakespeare (Romeo and Juliet)
Characters/pairings:Tybalt/Mercutio
Rating: R for not-really-at-all-explicit sex, slashy goodness, and dirty jokes (uh, hi, MERCUTIO. I can't help it. XD And of course Tybalt wouldn't let him get away with it).
Summary: CHALLENGE, issued by [info]saint_kit. AU fic. Mercutio doesn't die, but everyone thinks he has. The prince, in order to keep his kinsman safe while recovering, sent Mercutio away to an abbey. Romeo and Tybalt's fight is broken up before either can fall victim to the blade and both families know about marriage now. Tybalt, furious his cousin could marry a Montague, decides to track down the friar who wed them, though he has fled. So Tybalt searches the abbeys and monasteries nearby. Who he finds is someone he hadn't quite expected.
Author's note: Gah. I wrote this all in what, two, three days? I didn't want to leave for the summer without having it posted. Most everything I wanted, I managed to fit in, except for the part where Mercutio attempts to compose a sonnet on the spot to make fun of Tybalt for calling him ZOMG! NOT ROMANTIC! (Thy head of red and golden locks/Thy eyes of fiercest green is as far as he gets before Tybalt rightly smacks him for being an idiot) is pretty much the only thing that's missing. I'll use it, somehow. The lines Mercutio recites/repeats are all from act II, scene IV. And if you are wondering why Tybalt is oddly redheaded, I admit I was influenced by something.
If any of the dialogue sounds awkward or off, please tell me! I haven't quite gotten the hang of Elizabethan yet, and I wasn't sure exactly how normal should they sound (IE, should they speak like ordinary men of their social status or like characters of a play, and how much of a difference is that?).
Feedback: Makes me happy inside. :D

There is not much entertainment to be had in an abbey. )

Photomanipulations. Teh pretty. [May. 19th, 2007|05:31 pm]

[Blasting |Do the Evolution: Pearl Jam]

These were all for an artist's book assignment. We were told to pick a theme and make something using mixed media that somehow described us. I did an actual book called Do the Evolution. The theme was (shocker!) evolution. All photos are from Getty images. :D

Do the evolution, come on, come on, come on )

The rest of these were just done either for fun, for a friend, or to experiment with a new tutorial/way of doing things.

I am ahead, I am advanced, I am the first mammal to make plans )

The tutorials used to make some of these should all be in my memories. ^^ Thanks to everyone who made one I used, by the way.
