quotations
Abandon the search for truth. Settle for a good fantasy.
-Anonymous, and why I write and read

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.
-Oscar Wilde, and why I read what I read

All happy families resemble each other, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
-Leo Tolstoy, and why I write what I write

It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do.
-Jerome K. Jerome, and why I love the fandom as much as I do

black
The light by your bed burns brightly, and in the silence of the room you flip the page of a book, but the black ink bleeds into the paper and the lines blur into meaningless jumble.

You stop to rub your temples and you fetch another cup of tea.

You sip, and the aroma nudges your senses awake, so you resume waiting for him to come home, with alcohol in his breath and the marks of other men on his skin. You open the book.

Nothing still makes sense.

It is late, and you are as blind as the night.

Title: Many Happy Returns
Fandom: The Thick of It
Author: neverfaraway
Pairing: Malcolm/Jamie
Rating: R (language)
Length: ~1.5k
Spoilers: 3x05
Disclaimer: All property of BBC, Armando Iannucci, et. al.
Summary: “No, I don’t give a f*ck whose birthday it is; I’m going to enjoy myself here listening to this Murray-Mannion ding-dong on the radio. The fat cat story’s breaking, so the Opposition are going to be sweating like Vegas Elvis on a squash court.”

- But since I am also the MTV News rock editor (and because I have spent some time with guys who may or may not actually be emo), the final say fell to me.

- I never bought into the whole "Fall Out Boy/ My Chemical Romance are emo" thing, because they might have elements of that sound but don't really fit the description.

James Montgomery wrote an article about New Moon and still managed to work in two mentions of Fall Out Boy. That, my friends, is true dedication. I can only imagine what the Pete Wentz shrine in his basement looks like. D:

Hi
I have a story, which is more than a little rough around the edges, and my work discipline sucks so Im very much looking for help. I need someone who, not only would correct my numerous errors, but to give me some ideas, and perhaps write the whole thing with me.

As it turns out, I write best when I have someone to bounce off ideas. Im kinda looking for that "back-and-forth" co-writership ( I dont really care if that isnt a word), and someone who will give me a proper kick in the arse when Im slacking off or when the writing sucks. Im not from an english-speaking country, so this is really the only way I can improve my writting, and I have been missing it dearly.

"From all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most" and this is a way to regain it in a sense, or at least do something semi-productive ;)

If anyone is interested, ill send the general ideas for the story and perhaps a few bits and pieces of the stuff that I've already written.

If you know of anywhere in New York where I can put my social science quantitative skills to work, you let me know omg. I need to find an opportunity that lets me volunteer/intern/work for 20+ hours a week for my OPT (Optional Practical Training, but the 'Optional' part is right now kind of a lie). Let me run a regression analysis on your data, baby. YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT. Let's you and I get serially correlated all night long!

...LOL J/K IT'S ACTUALLY TERRIBLE TO BE SERIALLY CORRELATED. Oh god. To prevent my head exploding from inoperable data sets, a post of Things:

* I'm sure by now everyone has seen the 'Merlin' Children in Need 2009 special. It's like someone sent them crackfic, saying, "Can you film this pretty please???" and they were like, "Oh what the hell, sure why not!!" Also, it is weirdly similar to that commentfic that [info]katakokk and I wrote that one time. ETA2: ZOMG AU!Pudsey!Camelot Meme

* [info]animus_wyrmis, remember the 'Merlin' extras meme we were talking about, with the servants and the guards etc? The Fleet is on top of that shit.

* An interesting article about the hazards of transitioning from fanfic to original fiction. Well, it's sort of a review of Cassandra Claire's 'Mortal Instruments' books, which I've never read, but it makes some salient points that give one food for thought. "Essentially City of Bones reads like fanfic - and I don't mean that as kneejerk indicator of poor quality, I mean that it reads like something constructed for a different purpose, functioning on a different ruleset. Leaving aside any criticisms of the actual style, this scene would probably work - for me - if I read it as fanfic."

* 'Merlin'-related things from my GReader that make me go 'fjlksdfj!': Angel and Bradley!! and KATIE AND ASA!!! <3333

* Wait wait wait. Katie McGrath AND Emilia Fox are both on 'The Queen'?! So I guess this is on my to-watch list now.

I suspect that's all I have to say for now. So, meme time! Respond to this post with a completely made-up memory of you and me.

ETA: God help me, I think I'm addicted to Fuck Yeah Merlin. All these pictures deserve fic: 1) MOTHERFUCKING PENDRAGONS; 2) What comes next in the story of their lives? Vaguely Edward Hopper-ish, no?; 3) Mordred is still crushing on Morgana and no one cares; 3) Uther passes on the sword; 4) Uther and the Lady Catrina take a breather from terrorizing the citizenry; 5) HOLY SHIT IT'S A MAP OF CAMELOT AND SURROUNDING REGIONS; 6) Arthur gets tetchy when he doesn't get his candy bar; 7) To no one's surprise, Merlin is a Death Cab fan; 8) Family photo!!; 9) Hanging with the guys!! <3333; and 10) I don't even know where to begin with this one.

You know what?

Making candy is hard work and a lot of fun. And really messy.

I made Chocolate Coconut Balls, Oreo truffles, and Chocolate Cookie Dough and all my guinea pigs (THANKS, GUINEA PIGS!!! :D :D :D :D ) like them a lot.

I think I just found my favorite thing to give away at Christmas at the office. ;-)

Also....chocolate chips are my downfall in covering the candies. :/

I rewatched most of 'Back to the Future' last night and let me tell you, the friendship between Marty McFly and Emmet Brown is an epic one that transcends time and space. )

I think half the flist has seen this, but if you haven't: what is manpain? Also, the latest xkcd is especially relevant to my interests.

jfsldfjds a friend of a friend is like, "Hey, come up on Saturday and jam with me and some people because I'm trying to put together a performance about female voices/sounds." And I don't understand why I am considering saying no?! Pros and cons! ) I really should go, shouldn't I.

Title: When Worlds Bleed, Chapter Twelve
Fandom: A Harry Potter/BtVS crossover
Pairing: Hermione/Ginny/Fleur/Faith/Buffy/Willow
Rating: Adult
Warnings: Language. A little fluff, a little violence. The usual.
Word Count: 4600 or so
Disclaimer: Most of these characters belong to J.K. Rowling or Joss Whedon, but since they seem to be through with them...
Summary: At the sound of Buffy's voice, Willow took a sharp shuddering breath and turned eyes that didn't belong in a human face on her oldest friend. Buffy yelped as she stepped back, her grip tightening on her scythe. "Will?" she cried in alarm.
"S'ok Buffy," said Willow through gritted teeth. "It's still me...mostly anyway."

Notes: Okay, you know the drill by now. Jo's canon is pretty much Phffffft! I like mine better anyway. I think by now it's safe to say that I've screwed up Joss' as well. Oh well.
