1. Vir and Delenn

From the "Only One Bed" meme (which at the moment has gone the way of most of my attempts at memes, alas), for a request for Vir and anyone.

( 700 words of Vir and Delenn )

2. Basking Narns

Posted as commentfic as a result of a comment discussion about cool-blooded Narns. (Also posted on Tumblr.)

( 400 words of basking Narns and Londo not being normal about it )

3. Ta'Lon and Vir

From a request on Tumblr for anything about Ta'Lon which actually ended up being not that much about Ta'Lon and more about the new ambassadors post-canon.

( 1000 words of Ta'Lon and Vir )

I've been going through file recovery on a ten-year-old laptop. It's interesting to see what sorts of cached images and stuff are on there.
Something about hard drives are so fascinating to me. I had to remove it from the aforementioned laptop (which I've never done before), and it's just so cool that such a little rectangle can hold so much. That thing could probably fit a lifetime's worth of photos, of documents... all hooked up to the laptop. That's the device's lifeblood, almost like its brain. And I can just pry it out? Even though the laptop's dead*, its soul can still stick around for a while.

(*fine, I don't know if it's dead. what I know is that I can't find the charger, and also it hasn't been used for ten whole years anyway, so if it wasn't dead then then it may have been by now)

This is part 3 of

maevedarcy's 72 Multifandom questions to ask a fangirl.

Experiences and Memories

1. What’s the most memorable experience you’ve had related to your fandom(s)?
I feel like everything in Smallville fandom has kinda blurred together. Maybe not a specific fandom, but in recent years, the excitement of running (well, co running) my first exchange was such a good feeling, as was the unexpected enthusiasm over Comment Bingo, when I finally got it up and running.

#2-12

2. Have you ever traveled to a location specifically because it was featured or related to your fandom(s)?
No. When I went to Vancouver though, I was excited when I realized I could recognize the top of the building that they used as Oliver's penthouse/Queen Tower in Smallville. I still remember a LJ friend made a list of places that they film at, and I left it on my laptop and forgot that I wasn't planning on taking it, so I couldn't use it. IDK how much my family would be all for my Smallville related tour of Vancouver but I could've tried to see a couple of spots. Oh well.

3. Can you share about a time when fandom helped you through a difficult period?
I don't know if there's a specific time, but fandom has always felt like an escape. I'm pretty closed off/keep things to myself, for better or for worse, and sometimes, I think I have been able to express myself online in a way that is a little harder to do in person. And people have always been kind and supportive and I have appreciated that a lot. I've left fandom multiple times but it's always easy to find a home here when I return.

4. What’s the longest you’ve ever waited in line for an event or release related to fandom?
Probably a couple of hours. Both when I stood in line at Barnes N Nobles for the 7th Harry Potter book (had to go twice - one to get the ticket with the Letter Group I was in earlier in the day and the second time when they were actually opening the doors) or when I went to the midnight showing of The Dark Knight and had to be there at like, 9PM. Even then, we were further back than I planned so we could've gotten there sooner but the seats we ended up with weren't so bad, iirc.

5. Have you had the chance to meet any of the actors, musicians, authors, or creators from your fandom(s)?
No, the closest I got was when I saw Shah Rukh Khan filming on my college campus and seeing Chris Evans in LA pre-Captain America. I was getting ice cream with a few friends and a premiere for Push had just let out. Dakota Fanning left fairly quickly, but I do remember he was hanging around. We recognized him but I didn't have a smart phone or anything for him to sign, so I didn't bother.

6. What’s the most treasured piece of merchandise you have that’s related to fandom?
Bollywood may not be a fandom I was ever in much, but I was obsessed with Shah Rukh Khan as a teen and I was in London a few days after his Madame Tussaud's statue was revealed, so when we went, they had a SRK doll. I bought it and brought it back with me. I still have it. Also my sister once got me a Superman keychain from Six Flags and I still keep it on my lanyard. It's held up well! :D

7. Do you remember the first item you ever collected or received related to fandom?
Not really. I had a lot of Shah Rukh Khan posters as a teen. I would assume it was something Superman related though since I've been a fan for so long.

8. What’s the most exciting fan event or panel you’ve attended?
I've never attended any fan events/panels.

9. Have you participated in any challenges, collaborations, or competitions within fandom?
Yes, I've been apart of land comms, bingo events (though I'm terrible about completing them!), fests, and exchanges. They're a lot of fun and have helped me get out of my comfort zone.

10. How did you feel the first time you saw your favorite character, band, or actor in person?
I remember OneRepublic was part of this summer fest years ago and I was really excited to watch them live. I don't know how much I actually enjoy live music events/concerts, but that was a blast.

11. Have any of your family or friends become fans because of your influence? What was that like?
My sister has actually ended up getting me into shows for the most part, because I barely watch anything and she gives a lot of things a shot (she was even watching Smallville before me). My dad watched Elementary because of me, since I wanted to, and he really liked it too, so we'd watch together.

12. What’s the most emotional moment you’ve had as a fan within your community?
I remember when one of my LJ friends passed away. We weren't close, but we did work together on a fandom newsletter and I was just shocked. I'm sure many other people can relate unfortunately, but the way it all happened and escalated so quickly was a lot. I think that was the first time someone I knew online had passed away. Just so sad.

1) Even though I know it's difficult to get any traction with communities, I decided to give a new one a go. Unfortunately Dreamwidth does not give over defunct communities to new mods, which is a shame since quite a few communities don't make it a year and the admin has disappeared.

I know there are many crafters on Dreamwidth but it seems nothing devoted to it has been updated in eons or has no admin or both. So I decided to open

everykindofcraft for what it says in the name. A community where people can share their projects, either in process or completed, as well as ask for assistance with craft-related things. ( Read more... )

If anyone would be interested in co-modding, let me know!

2) Thought it was amusing when I read in this article about Andor filming locations that a building of Calatrava's was a central choice. I've liked his work and had a book on his portfolio (most of which has involved bridges and transportation centers rather than, say, office buildings). But I didn't recognize it, which is probably in part because I was so riveted by what was happening on screen and partly because I hadn't realized they'd done as much location shooting as they had.

3) Posted another set of travel pics over

common_nature, this from the International Rose Test Garden in Portland.

4) Read the latest two books by Ellie Griffiths, and had mixed feelings about them. They are Bleeding Heart Yard and The Last Word which I read in order. I had issues with the mystery in the first and felt like the resolution to the second one was rather pro forma. ( spoilers )

5) Also tried out the first of Helen Fields' DI Callanach series, Perfect Remains ( Read more... )

There are many shades of suggestive.

Explicit...well now, some work is a little more explicit than others.

( NSFW )

My current WIP is turning out barely suggestive and I'd really really like to have at least one explicit scene.

I can't get the characters to cooperate. *sigh* Has that ever happened to you? Or maybe the reverse? You meant to write a gen story but the characters insisted on getting naked? (Yes, that has happened to me too) Damn characters just seem to take over.

randomarceus

If I could go back in time, I think I'd play Moshi Monsters one last time. I miss that game. And I know there's been fan remakes, I know they just announced a new game, but it's not so much "Moshi Monsters" I want back as "my old Moshi Monsters account", which is impossible for obvious reasons. But I have these foggy half-stuck memories of how my room used to look, and I'd love to see it again, you know?

There are now 1000 pages on the wiki. I have tagged 522 pages with FMC and 461 with MMC. A few books, of course, have both. 6 pages are tagged unsure, and yet that only adds up to only 989. *shrug*

784 standalones, 188 series, 5 short story collections, and the Kay Collins, Secretary short stories from the Cherry Ames Girls Annuals.

The girls have Kay Collins, 1 collection, 82 series, and 438 standalones. The boys have 3 collections, 114 series, and 344 standalones.

The earliest book I have a page for is Katie Robertson: A Girl's Story of Factory Life by Margaret E. Winslow (1885), but I'm sure earlier books exist. (I don't want to read Horatio Alger!) The first series is Ward Hill, teacher (1897-1909). Ruth Fielding is the first series about a girl.

Military - 130 - 29 girls, 16 of them nurses. 59 series, 1 collection.
Air force - 17
Army - 42
Coast Guard - 6
Marines - 3 (1 girl, 2 boys)
Merchant Marine - 7
Navy - 43

It doesn't add up because for the some books the description doesn't specify what branch the protagonist is in. There are various positions, from pilot to radar trouble-shooter to dietitian to nurse. Notably there is no military doctor protagonist. Many of these are WWI or WWII propaganda, but there are several from before, between, or after. But there's an unsurprising drop-off in the 1960s once the Vietnam War starts, and the only MCs who serve in that war are nurses. ( Read more... )

How many books are you usually reading?

I have a minimum of 5 on the gp at any given time: one each of fiction and nonfiction on both phone and ereader (no overlap) plus a paper book that can be either.

Anyone feel like doing a spag check on 9k of m/m fic in a fandom i cannot name for ~reasons~? It is E rated but has nothing in it that would require a specific kink tag.

Volunteer rewarded with gratitude and a ficlet of their choice in any fandom I know enough to write in or original.

Goal achieved, thank you
