Title: An Unreal Doubt Author: SA Notes: Potentials ficathon entry for ![]() ( Amanda worked at the bowling alley because her cousin owned it and she could always use a few extra bucks. It was pretty boring, handing air-freshened shoes to forty-somethings, anxious for a night out with their favorite ball. She kept track of the league scorings and took people's money, and was generally bored out of her mind. She couldn't even do homework because the crash of the pins every other second destroyed her conversation. ) | ||||||||

I have found heaven, and it is the Evanston Public Library. Comics! They have a whole section of TPBs! Ohmygod! In other news, the wifi I was hacking mysteriously cut out, so I am sketchy on internet right now. Those of you who were gracious enough to offer backups for the Old Skool Ficathon, please remember that they are due today and as such need a comment at the masterlist so they might be added. The lovely ![]() The JC Slashficathon is still accepting signups, until Thursday, I believe--whatever the tenth is. Join! Add some fic to the pool! It'll be great. I am tired and busy and I really wish my fucking internet would work again, because I need it like air. I'm kind of despairing, because I want to write, and I'm so used to writing with the net going, so that I can talk to people and multitask and so on that it's like cutting off an arm when I can't, say, blabber to ![]() The library closes in thirty minutes; I think I'm going to amble over to Panera Bread and use their wireless, though I don't know how long they stay open. Hopefully long enough for me to get my ficathons done; I can always put off the stories I actually want to write, and all. | ||||||||

Holy fucking shit, you guys! Movies are the best. thing. evah!![]() Then I saw PoA. Duuuuuude, ![]() And there was some fucking huge H/R/H in this movie. Some may say Ron/Hermione or Hermione/Harry, but I firmly reside in the land of the OT3. They were like broadcasting on all frequencies, "Hey! We're all puppy love! Look, we're holding hands and crowding each other!" Particularly the bit with Buckbeak's "death." Mmmmmmmmmmm, OT3. God, I need to go to the theater more. There's a whole story tied to how we (D and myself) saw PoA this evening, and if it weren't two in the morning (I walked in five freaking minutes ago) I'd tell you. But tomorrow I see Brenda (from the boards, those who know what I mean) and we're going to poke around Chicago a bit. I'm immensely looking forward to it, and as I'd like to be conscious during it, I'm to sleep now. (I love Harry Potter OMG!) PS: Still need three lovely people for Old Skool backups. Help a girl out? Thanks ever so. PPS: Malfoy was really hawt. Even when he was whimpering like a girl. And I'm madly in love with Hermione. And I want Ron here now. And when Harry was all wet and flying around during the Quidditch match, I realized then and there what sort of special hell I'm going to, because DAMN that boy was fine. | ||||||||

Much to my joy and rapture, the Nick Slashficathon is finally complete, with everyone accounted for and all stories written. Thank you so much to those who did backup for me; I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. And it looks like I'll only need two backups for the Lance Slashficathon, which makes me happy as well. However, life still trundles by with the Old Skool Ficathon, and so I throw myself on the mercy of my friendslist to find backups for these five stories. Please let me know if you can help me out; I'd need them by Monday, because truth be told I rather want this thing over with. I ask kindly that you not offer to do backup if you know you can't post it by midnight PST on Monday; though there is the whole weekend to write it. Here are the specs: Leave a comment in this entry if you can do backup on the story. And thank you. | ||||||||

Well, it's Wednesday somewhere. Those of you who chose to participate in the Old Skool Ficathon and haven't posted your fic, please note that if you haven't posted your fic by midnight Wednesday, June 2 (roughly 24 hours from now) PST, I'm going to assume that you've dropped out of the ficathon and start looking for backups. Please direct all notifications of postings to the masterlist, linked above, and not here. If you're going to drop, you can comment here or there, or send me an email. There's roughly fourteen stories that haven't been posted, which is kind of an alarming number. Just, you know. Let me know. | ||||||||

Title: The Treasures That They Miss Author: SA Notes: For ![]() ( There is a print on Daniel's wall that Jack always gets caught on. They could be in the biggest hurry of their lives, a reincarnated Ra selling radioactive fudge pops in Washington, DC, and Jack would still pause for just a moment, his eyes running over the faint gold threads that glint in the off-kilter sunlight from the small windows in the door. He's never bothered to ask who it was by, or the title, or even what the hell it means. He just liked it. ) | ||||||||

Hey kids, I still need one backup for the Nick Slashficathon. I will love you forever if you help me out, here. Amazingly, I'm only missing three stories for the Lance slashficathon, and one of those will be a backup. (It's the principle of the thing, ![]() I'm pretty sure I'm never doing a 'thon for the Jossverse ever again. It's sucks too much on this end. | ||||||||

Things I have learned today: 1. When you are bored in an office, surreptitiously download Opera because Explorer is too shitty to live, and love it's tabbed browsing feature. 2. There's no point in checking your email obsessively when you're in no position to answer it. 3. Even if you have 25 emails flooding your inbox throughout the day. 4. People like snark, and they like Seth, and they like that line about the gaydar. (Which is probably my favorite line, because it's so Sandy. 5. It's okay to type up a journal entry if said journal entry is part of your project. Sort of. 6. People like JC more than anyone else except Justin, apparently. I am so. tired. I went to the library today, using a graciously loaned library card, and checked out the next three M&C; books. I cannot wait to begin them, but first I want to finish Chamber of Secrets and PoA so that I can go to the movie on Friday completely jazzed about seeing it. I always forget how two-dimensional Rowling's characters are; I'm spoiled, to a degree, by fanfic, where the near point is to flesh out these characters as much as possible. But I wonder how much of that is simply Rowling, and how much of that is the perspective of a young boy. Either way, I do still enjoy them immensely, and am finding them an extremely quick read. Firefly has completely downloaded onto my computer, and I'm anxious to watch Serenity, but that too will be shunted off until later in the week, as I've got three stories due for ficathons today and I'm sort of combatting exhaustion. Bitch Cabal or no, I shouldn't have stayed up until two in the bloody morning. Of course, the result is that I got Giles/Oz up, and the bigmassiveocfic up, and the JC Slashficathon started (have I mentioned that people love JC? Because they really bloody do), which is more accomplishment than I thought I was going to manage, what with the Jamba Juice and the M&C; fic. At some point, probably Saturday (hopefully earlier) I *will* start rewatching Firefly, and I *will* relearn this show I love. Shopping's a bitch, man, and Whole Foods is too fucking tempting for words. I bought mushrooms today, and a small steak, and that's going to be my random treat for the week. But no more spending of money! I know I'll get through the summer okay if I can just curb my tendency to burn through cash, but I would imagine it'll be harder than I expect. You know, I don't think I've ever had fifty new emails in my inbox in my life. Though I chalk it up to people liking JC. And my OC fic, which makes me cheery. Hey, ![]() | ||||||||

Announcing...![]() The JC Slash Ficathon! What is it: A flashficathon. A story of a minimum 1000 words, designed as a challenge to increase the amount of fic surrounding a particular character, pairing, or idea.

Stories are posted in your livejournal (or can be hosted if you don't have a livejournal) on the due day, and a master list will be created in my journal. Intra-sync, no crossovers. Deadlines: Sign-ups: June 1-10 Assignments sent out: June 10 (ish) Assignments due: June 30 We all do 'em three days before they're due anyway. What you need to do: Give me your... 1. Name: 2. Email: 3. Livejournal: 4. Pairing/No Pairing: 5. Two things you want: 6. One thing you don't want: 7. Can you be a back-up writer? ...by commenting in this journal entry. Please, please, please pimp this out to your friends, neighbors, and countrywomen; a challenge is only as good as it's participants. | ||||||||

Title: Thirteen Ways of Looking Part II Author: SA Notes: Continued from Part I. ( It seemed like it would be difficult to hide their relationship until graduation, but either building houses and defending tax evaders got a lot more interesting in Newport, or Kirsten and Sandy were content to turn a blind eye to Seth's increased migration to the poolhouse and the general sharing of clothes between them. Seth was particularly pleased about the last habit--Ryan looked really, really good in his Jeff Buckley t-shirt that was just a tad too tight across the chest for him, and he let Seth borrow his wrist cuff. Well, once. For an hour. Before he took it off with his teeth. ) | ||||||||

Everloving thanks to ![]() ![]() ( 'Um. Well. Shit. Okay,' Seth said, just before he leaned over and kissed Ryan for the first time, his hand hitting the video game controller and making his character die in a blaze of glory on the screen. The kiss lasted a long moment, their lips meeting chastely, and when Seth pulled back he couldn't seem to lift his eyes from the floor. ) | ||||||||

I should be doing things. Instead, I'm od-ing on M&C; fic, boggling at the wonder that is ![]() The weather is complete shit 'round these parts. Periods of torrential rain followed by clear-ish skies, and unrelenting winds. Tornado watches have been going on and off all weekend. Hell of a thing, for Memorial Day, hm? As goggly as I am over M&C; right now, I'm pretty surprised to discover that ![]() ![]() As is Russell Crowe. I think it's the hair--which is saying something, because I don't find long hair on men attractive. Peter Bellamy (shit, that's his name, right?) is an odd-looking bloke, but they go well together in an odd sort of way. And Billy Boyd! Such a cutie in this movie. I kept noticing him not because I'm a fan of his, through LOTR, but because of that massive Lotrips fic that keeps me awake at night; there's a bit where Dom and Elijah come down to see Bill as he's shooting in Mexico for the film, and he and Dom shag, and it's guh. Fandoms overlap with fandoms. In other news, Harry Potter is eating my soul. I finished re-reading the first book yesterday, as I was burning Angel Season One and Smallville Season One off my laptop to make room for M&C; and the rest of Smallville Season One (jesus, I'm a fandom whore), and I'll probably start the second tonight. I sort of want to get the third finished by Friday, as co-worker Dianna and I are heading out to a theater to check it out. ![]() Check out ![]() ![]() How lame would it be to go uptown for a smoothie? I wonder if they're even open... | ||||||||

whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo That? That noise there? That's the sound of me getting sucked into another fandom. ::facepalm:: Just saw Master & Commander, ya'll, and let me tell you this: god forbid anyone try to go against Russell Crowe in tight pants. Jack/Stephen slash. Good lord. Thank god I'm getting a library card tomorrow, so I can keep reading these damnable books. Now I *really* need an icon. | ||||||||

Xander needed something, and Spike was there. ) | ||||||||

Lots of Queer as Folk, and not as much fic as usual. I haven't been reading as much, what with the moving and working and all. That makes me sad. What They Do, QAFUS. Daphne and Justin. I love Daphne. Tacit, QAFUS, Brian/Justin. Schmoopy futurefic. Everyone needs it once in awhile. Untitled, dS, Fraser/RayK. Just a nice little snippet of Ray, hungover. They Did in Camelot, LOTR, Aragorn/Boromir/Arwen. I'm sadly addicted to this pairing now. Untitled, dS/SG1. Ray goes shopping, and Teal'c helps him out. Of Shackles and the Sun, PotC. They just can't keep away from each other. Vicarious, Pop, Justin/JC. Okay, this was so worth it because of the last two lines. JC characterization that I actually like. Predictable, HP, Harry/Ron. Mmm. Voyeurism. Reconnaissance, Farscape. Talyn watches John. From second person. So good. Growing Pains, QAFUS. Gah! The premise makes my eyes skewy, but it's a really good futurefic nonetheless. The Pink Posse and I, QAFUS. This is so damn funny. Alternate season four. Context, Pop/Smallville. Cute, silly crossover that amused me. Predictably, Different, and Red, Smallville. This is a great twist on an old theme; futurefic, with three POV's. The Undiscovered Ocean, Master & Commander, Jack/Stephen. Stupid new fandom, with it's fic and it's sexy. Jack and Stephen are stranded on a desert island. drown out the voices, drown out the noise, Popslash, Chris/JC. Mmmm. Fucking hot sex. From a fucking hot writer. Mmmm. Danse de l'inconscient, TPM, Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan. This may not be my ideal characterisation, but it's so blasted funny that it makes up for it all. black eyes, PotC. Young Jack Sparrow just can't help but get into Sparrow. And look damn good at the same time. Best Laid Plans for Getting Laid, Pop, Chris/Joey. Some verra nice Choey. Good premise; I love them as young guys. Cool Shit: What Tolkein Oficially Said About Elf Sex Everyone's seen this, but: Troy in Fifteen Minutes. ![]() Day After Tomorrow fic challenge masterlist.

Hi ya'll. I'm in the process of catching up for the last couple weeks, and it turns out I need three backups for the Nick Slashficathon. I would be so grateful if you could pick up one of these, so that everybody gets a story for signing up in this 'thon. These are the specs: Just comment here or email me; I'd need them by Wednesday, which I know is cutting it close for some writers, but I'm really so aggravated by ficathon-running in general right now that I kind of want to get it over with. | ||||||||
