New *NSYNC song on the 29th? For the first time in over 20 years?

I DON'T CARE THAT IT'S FOR THE NEW TROLLS MOVIE IN NOVEMBER GIVE IT TO ME NOWWWWW.

Like. I cannot even with any of this announcement.

Please reunion tour please?

First of all...





I am a bit shocked that there is any way shape or form that I could be considered 'cool', but I'll take it.

Anyway, as of late I've been sucked into the joy and amazing that is feelschat. ... Er, an AIM blast group of Clint/Coulson fans, and oh my God, talk about full of fun and bouncy and mutual fangirling and the occasional okay frequent sometimes large buckets of angst, and everything is beautiful and somehow sometimes everything hurts at the same time. But I'm rambling.

It's done wonders for my fic productivity, although I don't know if the couple little ficlets I did just to share with chat will ever reach wider distribution. That remains to be seen. First, I work on the thing I've been poking at for ages. One step at a time.

Last night, I spent a hefty chunk of time going through my really ancient LJ entries... like, from my very first journal and everything, and wow... 'Was I ever that young?' comes to mind. XD

In other news... Well, there really isn't much in the way of other news. BUT HELLO ANYONE WHO'S READING THIS, YOU ROCK. :D

Yeeeeah, I'm definitely going back to crossposting to my LJ from DW consistently... on those occasions I post, which is rare, but I'd like it to be less so. There's a new year's resolution for you. A good chunk of my LJ-flist is doing the same, for reasons that probably don't need rehashing.

Anyway, anyone who's made the DW jump, feel free to circle me up however you'd like. Same username from LJ.

Right! Anyway! As for content! First thing's first! Yuletide!

It's always fun when the fic you receive is in the canon you requested that really, nobody needs any crazy canon knowledge in order to appreciate.

That being said... A bajillion thanks to my author, who wrote me Rest In Whirled Peace. It's Ben & Jerry's anthropomorfic and they're ice cream superheroes. I mean, come on, how can you not want to read that?

After I finished reading that... a couple times... I proceeded to show just how obsessed I was and read absolutely every fic with one Agent Phil Coulson of SHIELD in the Yuletide archive. (And then I did it again the next day with Madness.) And believe me, they're all delightful, whether or not my favorite NINJA BAMF IN A SUIT is a main character or not, so please, by all means, read them and enjoy if you remotely care.

There are, of course, numerous other fics that bear reading, but I really really suck at rec lists, and most of them have been covered in other places if you're looking for recs, so far be it from me to tread on old ground.

And now, changing trajectory slightly...

Sheer morbid curiosity had me do something in a fit of temporary what-was-I-thinking-ness last night. And I happened to actually find something hiding in the mists of the internet that I thought didn't exist anymore. That being what I'm pretty sure is my oldest surviving piece of (published) fanfic. It's X-Files, it was written when I was nineteen or so... give or take a year (we're talking so old I found it on an angelfire archive). The prose is ever so slightly purple. (Ahah. Yeah. Ever so slightly.) And I kinda wanna facepalm at my younger self for the thing, if not so badly as some of the ridiculous Mary Sues I safely paper-journaled about a few years before that. And I have a conundrum. Should I post it to the AO3, with a roughly appropriate backdate? I mean, for the interests of completeness, and to see how far I've come... but, again, facepalm. But I wouldn't want to orphan it either.

Hm. Maybe with appropriate tags to let someone know what they'd be getting into.

I'll contemplate further!

And in a brief interlude covering RL... Still sadly jobless... although it being my first Christmas season out of retail since, like, '03 or so? Let's just say it was a bit surreal being home on Black Friday.

But Christmas was marvelous. Got a Kindle Fire from Andrew and it is a ridiculously fun gadget. I'll definitely be using it as a tablet more than an ereader, though. (I've got my nook for that... Had a Sony Reader, but I broke it, oops, thank God for squaretrade... But I got reimbursed and went for a new model. Thing is LOADED with fanfic now, I love it.) But man, Angry Birds is so much nicer on that screen than my phone's. >_> He also got the LotR extended edition on bluray for my whole family, to go with the huge TV we got earlier this month. :) In addition, as I commented on twitter on the day, I really appreciate socks and underwear as gifts so much more now than I did as a kid.

Also, the presents I gave were pretty much universally well-received, which always makes me extremely gratified. I love picking out the perfect present. Although the individual that expressed the most joy was, of course, my dog, who got a squeaky toy and went into transports of delight. Good times.

Anyway, wow, I think I've just said more than I've said in ages combined, so I'll leave it at that! TTFN!

... I'm posting again? What madness is this?

Anyway, a fic porn fic meme that I much belatedly swiped from half my flist, copied directly from blindmadness.

01 » Submit a pairing (or threesome, or solo person) and a prompt by replying to this post.

02 » Please use the following format: fandom, pairing, prompt.

03 » I'll then reply with five sentences of smut. As I'm pasting from Maj, she went on to say that the original meme allows gen prompts and the like. I'm returning that caveat because I'm a complete coward willing to branch out my porn-writing muscles as best I can, but it's really not my forte, and please don't be mad at me if I somehow cannot manage to porn up your prompt. I will try my best!

04 » If I can't do the prompt then I will beg for your forgiveness, and offer it up to others let you select another if you'd like. [Though if anyone on my flist sees one they'd like to do that I've passed up, seriously, go for it!] And I add the further caveat that I warn you now up-front that I have this annoying tendency to flake on fic-memes like you wouldn't believe, but I will do my best to at least muster up a ficlet for at least one of everyone's prompts.

That being said... multiple prompts encouraged! :D

This is where I am supposed to list my fandoms but oh GOD I have so many. Generally, if you know I'm into something, feel free to prompt from it, but I'll go ahead and shortlist DC comics, Harry Potter, BBC Sherlock, Doctor Who, Babylon 5, Les Mis, and... I dunno, anthropomorphic kitchen tools. :D

Right. So Doctor Who.

I've always been fairly familiar with the mythology and basic story.

I've watched some of the Tom Baker serials with Andrew, bought him a scarf for his birthday. It was pretty epic.

I've recently decided to actually attempt to really get into it, thank goodness for streaming Netflix.

I steamed through Nine pretty quickly, and he was fantastic and all.

Ten, I find rather enjoyable, and am about halfway through his first season, and of course have every intention of catching up in time, although am not watching nearly as quickly.

But, y'know... new Doctor, I kinda wanted to get in on the ground floor and not continue to lag behind while the Whovians on my various lists get the joy...

So I've mainlined the first two Matt Smith episodes tonight along with tyriangalley, and having just finished...

And oh my God the immense squee that Eleven has engendered in me... I cannot even begin to describe it.

Just... Wow. I can't even begin to describe my... effervescent glee.

I... actually have a Doctor.

Wow.

:D

Don't want to further strain the AO3 servers at the moment by posting a comment, although I will later...

Yuletide author? How is it you know me better than I know myself? Because... oh my GOD, I literally had to remind myself to breathe after I finished reading my story. It was just... wonderful and sweet and misty-eye-making and... awesome, and the complete epitome of everything I asked for in that prompt.

I'm STILL grinning, in fact.

That being said...

Anyone with even a passing knowledge of Babylon 5? Go now and read Bearing Witness.

It's Vir... oh, it's everything that makes Vir Vir. And it's... the Londo and G'Kar dynamic that... Man, if I didn't know better, I'd honestly think JMS wrote this fic himself.

*HAPPY FLAIL*

Okay, that's all. Seriously.

THANK YOU AGAIN, AUTHOR. YOU'LL PROBABLY GET EVEN MORE SQUEE ONCE I COMMENT TO THE STORY.

Well, okay, in fairness, I started well before LJ was down, but... loved the DVD SOMUCH I had to make...

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies icons! ... Lots of them!

They're not crazysophisticated or anything, just pretty much cap and crop, but still, they're not bad. :) I hope.

Feel free to take, yes, feel free to add text or colorfilters or whatever you want, just comment and credit as usual blah blah blah.

They're mostly in order just from scenes I kinda pecked at, except for a lump at the end when I realized HOLY CRAP I FORGOT AN AWESOME SCENE.

If there are any requests, feel free to let me know, as making these isn't exactly difficult. XD

... Right, anyway, here goes.

Total Icon Count: 62

Teasers:

( 62 icons below! Superman, Batman, Lex, and a few others. )

Right, well, first of all, and completely unrelated to the rest of this post, but it's kind of obligatory, given that it's me. HBP. Utter win. Not enough Snape. But that's usual.

ANYWAY.

I've been spending entirely too much time lately over at the Trek reboot kink meme (st_xi_kink). As it is epic and wonderful and kinda awesome.

I also noticed that a lot of my favorite fics in the thing are of the crossover-with-other-fandoms variety.

So it got me thinking.

... So I went and made a crossover-fic kink meme. And xover_kink. Because, one, you can never have too many kink memes...

And two.. hey, a kink meme with any fandom welcome! (RPF included, for those bandom-ites on my flist.)

So, yeah, if you have a deep dark fantasy involving Captain Jack Sparrow making out with Captain Jack Harkness, or anything of the like... Hey, never know, might want to check it out. :D

And that ends my pimping for the day. (I don't do it very often, so I figure I'm entitled!)

Yes, so I have actually written comicfic. Which funnily enough is not what I was planning that my first comicfic would be. But the bunny started gnawing on my brain and wouldn't let go. Darn bunnies.

So I posted it to my writing journal which I haven't actually used in over a year. Go me. XD

Booster Goldilocks and the Three Superheroes.

It's a light and sweet fairytale, with a strong moral message! And...

Okay, it's just crack. Nevermind.

To the handful of people who friended me after rhombal's Epic Bandom Prank of Epic Win, with which I was minorly involved, ummm....

*wave*

Hi!

Little primer. I'm Erin. I'm 27, live in Vegas, work in a bookstore, and am, as I referred to it as nottheprankster, in the Kuiper Belt of bandom. Meaning basically... I can actually distinguish most of the members in a core group of the bands involved, have caught myself singing along to the occasional song, and have read a fic or two. Oh. And wrote a sonnet. XD

I really don't post much. And what I do tends to be... Random and silly. But you're welcome to it!!!

Other interests include popslash (my first love!), Chicago sports (GO CUBS!), and most of the Discovery Channel family of programming (DUDE. MYTHBUSTERS. EXPLOSIONS. THAT IS ALL.).

That being said. Hi! Nice to have new friends! Whee!
