Long Time No Write

Hey, guys! It's been quite a while since I've updated anything for you, huh? I apologise. I've been busy with school work, running the soundboard for the musical, and keeping up-to-date with both my American and British tv shows. It's been rather confusing and hectic, and on top of all of that, I completely ran out of inspiration for anything fanfic shaped. I'm still keeping up with the fics I'm following, and on occasion I'll catch up on the interesting-looking one-shots that find their ways into my inbox, but in general I've left the fanfiction seen for a while.

However, I am still writing. In fact, I'm fleshing out a prophecy I wrote without understanding what it meant, and thereby strengthening my world-underneath-this-one. I have made great use of The Mythical Creatures Bible, which is this really cool, beautifully illustrated guide book to all sorts of fun mythical things. It's brought Selkies into my magical world, which isn't in any way a bad thing, and given me a new name to obsess over. Good thing I have people reading it and liking it, or I might stop writing for fear of its being way too cliché.

Do you remember?

    Do you remember agulaskrawthy (that was fun to say, specially with my pronunciation) years ago when I wrote that very, ah, shmrgilnrphf story? That was very specific, I know. I apologise, my brain has been melted with Dramione flavoured lemons. Dramione coloured? Shaped? I really don't know. It wasn't entirely an accident, but now my brain is just like weeeeeeeeeeeeeee I'm loopy so I'm thinking that now might be a good idea to bring up that story again.

I'm talking abouot TTLT, in case you were wondering. I mean 'that very shmrgilnrphf story' makes it obscenely clear in my mind, but that's probably only because I pronunce it like someone who's forgotten what talking sounds like.

In other news, I'm really tired and should go to bed. I wonder where the Pirates DVDs are. I think I might just go on a quest for them. (That would be something somewhere in between a quiz and a test, like a tiz, not like an epic adventurer (oh poop face that works) filled with pixies and sprites.)

Goodnight.

Back to HP

I've recently returned to the wonderful fandom that is Harry Potter. Because of this, I've gone digging and found old stories (such as NADCT). I've rediscovered the fun of making banners and taken it up again with a bit more skill now. It's good, but it also means I'm not really writing much anymore. I am beta'ing stuff for the friend who got me back into HP, but other than that, and reading stuff on HPFF, I'm basically taking a long hiatus from fanfics.

Well, from ff.net, anyway, which is probably a good idea, seeing as I completely lost my muse for Doctor Who things, and that's about all I really write anyway. I think I'll get back into it around the time the new series comes out, or maybe I'll just be placated by new episodes of it.

Oh, right, I wrote an introspective Regulus Black one-shot that I should probably put up at some point. Eh, in the future.

HELLO NEW YEAR!

Right, silly me, saying I was going to update anything regularly... what on Earth was I talking about? I must have been out of my mind at the time, or some such silly nonsense.

Anyway, as it's only been a month and a half since I last updated this thing, I have nothing really to tell you. My muse went AWOL for most of last month. Still haven't figured out why, but I watched three episodes of Doctor Who new series 1, including my two favourites. Anyone want to guess which they are? In other news, I should be putting up a one-shot that's technically a Torchwood-NCIS crossover, but as there's only a tiny bit (and the fact that it's inspired by a crossover fic) that actually makes it a crossover, it's going to be listed under Torchwood. Because you just can't find the crossovers within the normal stories, so no-one reads them unless they're looking for a crossover. It's already been beta'd; I'm just waiting for title inspiration to hit.

In addition, I'm working on a three-part one-shot inspired by that last scene of 'The Doctor Dances'. Does that make it a three-shot, then? I don't know. Anyway, the point is that I'm working on something new and Who. Also, I was re-inspired to work on my idea with the Tribophysical Waveform Macro-kinetic Extrapolator. Which is an object name I have spent so long practising saying I didn't even blink when Jack said it as fast as I can in Boom Town, which I watched today. And I've gotten a few more ideas to add to that plotline...

Christmas!

It's two days from now. I haven't made my dad's present. Or figured out what I'm doing for my brother. Or finished my generic extended family gifts.

In other news, I have written 2 connected stories for you guys for Christmas. I'm debating whether or not to write more. Regardless or whether or not I write more before Christmas, my holiday starts at 2pm tomorrow. I don't go back until the 4th, so I have quite a bit of time in which to write. I'm rather excited. Speaking of which, my Irish keyboard-pal, whose FF username is Tessa27, and I are going to write a Christmas-inspired something. We're going to try and collaborate so that we can eventually collaborate on something bigger. At least, that's my super-secret-only-not-anymore plan. Whatever. I'm a wee bit tired, and I start saying things that I may or may not have intended to say in the first place when that is the case.

I don't think the second half of that sentence made any sense because I feel like I fell asleep in the centre.

So, in the near future (like quite possibly tomorrow, as I am my normal impatient self and just want these bloody things out already, screw waiting until Christmas/Christmas Eve) you should see two connected fics, one titled "Luna" and the other titled "Christmas".

I'm also thinking of putting up a new chapter of RAST and/or FMM for the holidays, and possibly writing something for one or more of my other fandoms that's just short and sweet and Christmas-y.

Primeval

I've been meaning to write this post since Monday and keep forgetting.

Anyway, from Saturday to Monday I managed to watch all, and I do mean all three series, completely, of Primeval. It's brilliant, and I love the character relationships one hell of a lot. The chemistry between Andrew Lee Potts and Hannah Spearritt is just so incredibly brilliant, as Connor and Abby, that it really came as no surprised that the actors are engaged. I'm sorely tempted to write something for them, but I'm also afraid nothing I think of will do them any sort of justice. Oh well. I have an idea for a large Primeval fic, which sort of rectifies their incorrect interpretation of time and puts a 'me' in the midst of everything. Granted, she's actually Abby and Connor's granddaughter, and I'm at a loss for what to name her (some variant of 'hope'? or 'saviour'?). But she's pretty damn awesome, and is basically what I want to be doing in the midst of the Primeverse: travelling through the anomalies, knowing exactly what the hell's going on, being a manipulative teenager who everyone assumes is older than she is because she's manipulative and knowledgeable, and related to the two best characters.

Alright, that's all -- basically an explanation for why there won't be much Whoniverse-obsessing at the moment.

Name update: I've been simultaneously looking up names on Behind the Name (use that website way too much), and I'm leading towards some variant of the name 'Nada', which means 'hope' in Slavic and 'generosity' or 'dew' in Arabic.

More One-Shots!

I may be going a bit overboard with the Alice one-shots. I just wrote two more in 750 words. I have an idea for one more story, that at the moment looks like a long one-shot or possibly a three-part (or so) story. I'm leaning towards the longer one-shot at the moment, but it does depend upon what the OC that I'd need for it is like.

I've uploaded both of the two I just wrote, as well as a 100-word drabble I wrote, well, technically two nights ago (it is after midnight). They'll be added to the one-shots list in a moment. Scarfer (the drabble) is a Doctor Who/Alice mini-crossover that is just plain odd. But then again, that's most of my stories. :D

New One-Shots!

"Strawberries" has been uploaded. It's in the one-shots section to the left. Also, I put up "Dreamland", which is a character-development piece on Anna Harpwell (remember her?). It's in the same section.

Hope you enjoy them!

Fangirlocity

So, my obsessive fangirl self hasn't had anything to be happy over in a really long time. It's left me without a sense of purpose in my life (which is really sad, I know). It caused me to make two pieces of flair on FB that are very simple but identify with what I was feeling. One says "Fangirls are people too -- we just care more about other peoples' lives than our own" and the other says "Fanfiction authors are just fangirls who pretend they have lives".

Both are so incredibly true.

Anyway, the whole reason I'm making this post is because I recently watched Syfy's Alice, which was brilliant. I had the biggest character crush that I've had on any character in a while on the Hatter from about, well, three minutes after we saw him. He's brilliant. On the other hand, I utterly despised Alice, but that's beside the point. I wrote a cute little scene between them about strawberries. It's going up as soon as it's typed up. The good news? You don't have to have seen the movies to get it! Just understand the basic premise.

FMM Update!

That's right, I've uploaded 3 new chapters to FMM. I also thought of this brilliant idea that I put all of FMM into one big document and put it on my flash drive in case I ever want it. Which basically means that now I can add another drabble to FMM wherever I am, so long as I have my flashdrive.

Yay! That's a good thing! I can update it more frequently now. Except that I am once again completely out of inspiration.
