Last night....I had an amazing dream. In this dream, I was part of a crew filming a movie. This masterpiece of theater was called--I kid you not--Transformers: The Musical.

...Yeah. Even in my dream I kept saying, "This is the stupidest idea I've ever heard," and just before I woke up, I was trying to figure out how to take my name off the crew list. XD

I will assume that Starscream had a starring solo.

On an entirely different track, here is the last day of the Snowflake Challenge. Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate yay.

Day 15

In your own space, share a favorite memory about fandom: the first time you got into fandom, the last time a fanwork touched your heart, crazy times with fellow fans (whether on-line or off-line), a lovely comment you’ve received or have left for someone.

Memories...at the corners of my miiiiind... )

Urrgh, I have a stupid cold. *snnnrrrkk* *curls up in a tiny ball of pathetic misery* And, of course, I am behind again.

Day 12

In your own space, rec at least three fanworks that you think would make a good intro into XYZ fandom. Rec a fandom overview, a introductory picspam, stories that define and shape the fandom.


Once upon a time, there was a boy named Charlie Bucket... )

Day 13

In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favourite interview, a book) and explain why you love it so much. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


Which is my very favorite....? )

Day 14 -
In your own space, ask for help. Need a beta? Always wanted to learn how to make a vid? a fanmix? icons? Maybe you’d want to have someone cheering for you while you work on an upcoming big bang or fannish bingo?


Ummm. Err. What I probably really need is someone who can literally stand behind me and hit me with a stick whenever my attention starts to wander away from writing and toward the internet at large. However, Lady Oneiros does not live close enough to do this in RL, so we will have to rely on semi-frequent online bashings by the Motivation Stick. ow ow OW thank you ♥

Argh, behind as usual.

Day 9: Delayed until I stop being made of fail. Yay?

Day 10

In your own space, talk about a creator. Show us why you think they are amazing. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


AUGH just one?! )

Day 11

In your own space, ask for recs. Something as simple as "I like XYZ (where XYZ is a kink, a pairing, a trope, etc) - please rec me some."


Gimme gimme gimme *grabbyhands* )

We spent yesterday afternoon packing away the Christmas decorations. :{ Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I kind of have trouble letting go of it. (Okay, once when I was maybe six or seven years old, my parents had to wait until I was safely away in the bathroom for a bath before they could take the decorations down. I've become a lot more helpful since then, but I'm probably still just as mopey and pathetic.) I really would leave everything up through January, at least, if I could. T-T I think the saddest part is that once the holidays are over, we still have about...five more months of unrelenting winter here. *goes under a blanket*

And now...two days at once!

Day 7

In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Drop a link to your wish-list in this post. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.


I wish, I wish, I wish for a fish... )

Day 8

In your own space, talk about a talent (or talents) you have. Everyone's got something they're good at. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


This feels a little repetitive, so I'll keep it brief. Sometimes, I think I'm good at this writing thing. I spend quite a lot of time on it, which is part of the reason that I'm so disappointingly slow at updating anything. I also enjoy it more than pretty much anything else I do. ♥
lyricality: (G1: cj/m angrycuddles)
Work today was a mess, augh. *runs around in circles and then collapses on the floor*

For those of you that (like me) often dream of Real Writing as well as or maybe instead of all this fandom writing, here is a fun article worth a read (though maybe not at work, due to language): 25 Things Writers Should Stop Doing.

Day 6

In your own space, rec at least 3 fanworks you thought you wouldn't like (because they weren't your fandom or they pushed against your boundaries or you thought you just wouldn't be interested) and that you ended up loving.


Like others, I don't want to accidentally offend anyone, so I'm just going to recommend things that I love but idiotically forgot about on Day 2. Besides, I'm hard to squick--if something sounds interesting, I'll give it a look, no matter the subject matter or the pairing.

Eee, reccing is fun. )
lyricality: (G1: cj/m angrycuddles)
*waves* Posting two days in a row?!?! Clearly this is the End of the World.

Day 2

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Drop a link to your post in the comments. See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom and maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.


Appreciation ahead! )

Do any of you check your dw journals anymore? *meows...listens to the echo in the deep dark quiet* Second full day without lj access...withdrawal symptoms imminent...feeling disconnected from friends and fandoms... o-@ *bark*

Thank you, dw, for being there for me. *hugz* Even if your collection of giant robot offerings is not quite so extensive.

I'm fine I guess--just working, really. Still seeing the same guy, and it seems to be going reasonably well after seven months. We went and saw Deathly Hallows Part II on Sunday, and I surprised myself by actually tearing up a little bit--especially over Snape. I think I can blame Alan Rickman for that, however. ^^

Mmkay. Back to teh werking. *paws at the pile of faxes she needs to send* Caffeine will save me!
