Lyricality

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 ♥

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. ♥

*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! )

onetruesikorsky asked for commentary on A Thousand Times Over.

( My commentary in bold. )

I can't see DotM until tomorrow night, so I am feeding my gnawing obsession with pictures of pretty cars.

Still the prettiest:
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano



...I'm imagining that in Hot Rod's paint scheme, because I just can't help myself. Guh.
Ultra Magnus: ...guh.
Kup: ... *stops chomping on his 'cygar' for a moment*
Galvatron: ...Fetch that for me, Cyclonus. It is clearly MINE.

I have today off and I am spending it mostly on writing. YAY.

In order to give me a worthwhile distraction from that lofty goal, here is a meme that I stole from mmouse15:

Pick a character and I will give and explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them. Any and all characters welcome (including ones I haven't written but might know about...[at least in Transformers, Lyric added]).

Now, time for lunch. :3

Because I, too, am a little sheepy thing who is procrastinating just now:

Now I will pretend like I spent the afternoon doing something important, like actually writing.

Title: Belonging 4/6
Rating: M/NC-17, Slash
Universe: Transformers: Animated
Pairing: Megatron/Optimus Prime
Author's Note: Spoilers for A Bridge Too Close, follows an alternate ending into a new continuity. Finally, the next part! I don't dare to mention how long I've just been sitting on this while it waited for editing. The rough drafts of the last two parts are complete, so things should move along more quickly now.
Another fuzzy cuddle to lady_oneiros, who continues to force my improvement by use of the motivation stick ow ow.

Title: Belonging 2/6

Thank you to my ever-suffering beta, lady_oneiros!

( Part II )

Yes, it's been forever since I posted anything at all. Yes, I am still working on Seven Days. Please don't squish me? ^o.o^ *tries to look cute and productive*

But this wouldn't let me rest, so here is a drabble I've written for nkfloofiepoof, set in her marvelous Hate the Dark AU Transformer-verse. The concepts are hers, and I mean this only as an appreciative gift. ♥ Definitely rated M, or NC-17 if you like, for giant robot p0rnz. Optimus/Starscream.

( Optimus suffered dreams of his own. )

Hate the Dark and its companion piece, Humans Call Them Dreams, can be found here.
