♥ I think I haven't posted in almost two months. It's all [livejournal.com profile] hogwartsishome's fault. They kidnapped me! They did it nicely, but still. I was all I'M NOT GOING TO BE SUCKED IN and then got sucked in anyway because I have no self-control. But it's fuuun~ and btw, hello new awesome friends from the Hogsmeade friending meme! :D :D
Also, hi to the people from the [livejournal.com profile] summerpornathon! I got in Team Lust, which is the team with the MOST AWESOME PEOPLE EVER including some of my favourite M/A authors ever, this is going to be fun. I even get to google sex toys and call it research.

♥ Speaking of writing. I joined [livejournal.com profile] bigbangitalia, mostly because I want to get one of my long plots out of the way. It's just 10k words over the summer, so yeah. I already know I'm going to write in English and then translate it because I can't write in Italian. I just get stuck on the dialogue because I'm used to watching/reading things in English instead of the dub, I wrote some SPN/DW over the weekend and I was all BUT HOW DOES DEAN SAY "DUDE" IN ITALIAN? WHICH FUNNY WORDS CAN THE DOCTOR SAY IN ITALIAN?

Cut for talk of X-Men: First Class and veeery vague spoilers. Also my long-ass plot for an AU fic. )

♥ Yes, I needed to tell you that because 1) it's epic, 2) my brother contributed and 3) I hadn't written it down yet and I was in danger of forgetting. I'm also working on a fanmix for Charles and Erik, so I can get sad while listening to nice music too. I might need help in deciding what to write first. Or second, right after I finish this fic I've been working on since February. Numero Uno is the epic Dean/Cas post-S6 fix-it, or How Ren Wants S7 To Go. Like a proper Deus Ex Machina, God shows up to strip Cas of his pants his angelic powers after the events of S6's finale, so human!Cas is forced to roadtrip with Dean and Sam. Dean teaches him important human skills such as not getting his ass kicked by the monster of the week, showering, cheating at poker and blowjobs. Numero Due is a SPN high school AU. Don't judge me, though if you stuck with me through the rambles about Charles and Erik and kitties you probably won't. This can basically be summed up with Dean and Cas are high school students and they meet and they have sex. And I wrote a one-shot about them meeting here already, though obv it would need to be rewritten if I go with this story for the BB. Numero Tre is Harry/Draco, because idk. Apparently I've been cursed with plots for a pairing that I used to despise. Must be karma. It's just the typical post-book-7 EWE in which Harry and Ginny split up and Harry finds out that Malfoy isn't so evil after all and in the end they get together. So, f-list, if you stuck with Harry me until the very end, tell me what should I write. Numero Uno, Due, Tre or... idk, let's call it X?

♥ THERE IS ALSO SOME LONG-OVERDUE FLAILING ABOUT DOCTOR WHO BUT IT'S OVERDUE AS I SAID AND ANYWAY LONG POST IS LONG AND I WANT TO GO AND MAKE A CUP OF TEA, SO THERE.

Click me!

GO CLICK MY DRAGON EGG INSTEAD, IT'S A PRIZE FROM ONE OF [livejournal.com profile] hogwartsishome'S HOGSMEADE ACTIVITIES AND I HELPED BRAINSTORM IT. :D

Dreadful news. I have all the symptoms of, gasp!, the common cold. Runny nose, sore throat, fits of coughing, clammy hands... It's terrible. I look awful, but fear not: I have hopes that I might survive.
I'm still feeling incredibly crappy but at least I don't have a high fever like dad. He's been home all week, alternating between sleeping on the couch and calling his colleagues to complain about his health. (My favourite bit is when he complains about having a sore throat in a VERY LOUD VOICE while I'm trying to study.)

Also, I have a new mouse. I'm thankful to my mum for getting me a present I'm likely to use instead of a fugly sweater or something like that, but she picked a cute one instead of one comfortable to use. I'll probably end up going back to my old one, which works just fine. With this one, I keep misclicking like, er, like someone who misclicks a lot.

Anyway, I haven't been posting in a while but hopefully this makes up for it. Over at [livejournal.com profile] merlin_muses posting continues, and with 14 stories posted already out of 56 I thought it was time to rec some of my favourites. They're all Arthur/Merlin, but I swear I did read the others too (apart from Arthur/Gwen, obviously). It's just that Arthur/Merlin fics are more than all the others put together. And, okay, I might also be biased. Hush.

With This Ring * Arthur/Merlin * NC-17 * ~10,000 words
One of my prompts, and I'm so happy it was picked up! Uther is enchanted and forces Arthur and Merlin to marry, immediately. Arthur and Merlin have to go along with it until they find a way to reverse the spell.
This story is all sorts of adorable and sweet and funny. And the last scene between Uther and the boys is priceless. Just... read it ♥

The Apprentice's Tale * Arthur/Merlin * NC-17 * 10,500 words
Modern AU. Merlin and Arthur are both members of the Society for Creative Anachronisms. (If you don't know what that is, don't worry, I didn't either. The author provided helpful links but in short, it's people dressing up in medieval dresses and doing medieval-style stuff like banquets and tourneys.)
Anyway, Merlin and Arthur meet at a week-long camping event, they start off by hating each other and they end up... not hating each other. Obviously. There's also cameos from many other characters: Gwen, Lancelot, Morgana, Gaius...

A Time for Reflection * Arthur/Merlin * PG * 4,573 words
Around harvest time, the tradition of countryman favours cause Merlin to miss home. He makes one himself not intending to give it away, and Merlin has to face his feelings when he finds Arthur with the favour. The Prince wasn’t supposed to find it nor does he know the meaning behind it.
A sweet story. Gets a bit repetitive at the end, but Merlin's adorableness makes up for it.

The Prince and his Catservant * Arthur/Merlin * NC-17 * 8,212 words
Merlin gets turned into a cat and Arthur has to take care of him until the spell wears off. The best part is Arthur imagining what cat-Merlin is thinking. Lovely story, though the ending is a bit abrupt.

I'M ACTUALLY AT OVER 10,000 WORDS AND I'M WRITING THE FINAL SCENE!

But I'm cheating because I skipped some of the scenes in the middle, so now I have to go back.

Also this season's anime are distracting me with their fabulousness.

I'm officially going to ignore the 30 days meme until I'm done with my Merlin/Arthur fic for [livejournal.com profile] merlin_muses. I passed 5,000 words yesterday, not counting whatever I have on notebooks and haven't typed yet) and this monster isn't anything close to done. At least I got an extension until the 8th, I hope it'll be enough. So much for "writing a ficlet or two in the summer". At least I have a beta and most of what I've written has already been checked so I won't have to do last-minute mad dashes or anything. Or so I hope.

By the way, I don't remember who asked me about my Sherlock fic for [livejournal.com profile] thegameison_sh: voting is done and I've posted it in my comm. I'm excited for this month's theme though of course there will be no writing anything but the monster for the next week.
I'm also in half a mind to start something like this for Merlin -- monthly ficlet writing challenge. [livejournal.com profile] audiopineapple brought it up yesterday at 1am and by 2am I was set on doing it. It sounds like something I might regret, but... Merlin! fanfic! squee! Thus since nobody else is doing it I might as well.

Though I forgot I was invited to a friend's friend's grad party Saturday night, which means sleeping out and possibly getting drunk. This is so not conductive to fanfic. Nor were the couple of visits to the doctor in the last few days. I swear, everything is conspiring against me. But I'm quite happy about this fic, even if I'll have to ask for another extension to get it done. I don't want to rush it since I'm actually writing a long story that I like, and it's not for the sake of wordpadding like during NaNo.

Okay, lunchtime and then time to get a couple more scenes down.



ETA; I lied and went to change my journal layout instead. After 8 months I think the change was overdue. Yay rainbow vomit! On my to-do list: make a header, find a background, fix italic/bold/underline/strikethrough text, remove icons next to lj usernames, fill empty space in top bar, fix tag cloud.

Forgot to update this for a while. Am still alive, though currently in a vegetative state. Isn't May supposed to be the start of the nice weather? It's been raining for the past week. Add some unnecessary drama and an exam in 10 days. Everything conspires to keep me depressed.

I shall fight back with chocolate and Pratchett's latest book.
