Ooh, I like my assignment for Yuletide lots. I thought I might get this one last year; it's something I've loved for a long time and am thrilled to have the motivation to write for it.
Regarding my own request,
Dear Yuletide Santa/Kringle/Hanukkah Fairy/etc.:
Everything I had to say about the specific fandoms, I think I covered in my request. If you'd like to hear more details about my fic likes in general:
Yes, I love slash. I discovered I liked m/m slash at the same time I dove headfirst into fanfiction; it was not a coincidence. Three of these four fandoms that I chose for Yuletide, I chose because I cherish the slashy possibilities of the two main characters. Having said that, I also like friendship fic, pre-slash hints, femslash, humor, crack (I adore well-done crack), Alternate Realities... I love NC-17 smut, but I won't be sad if the fic chooses not to go there, not if it doesn't feel right to you.
Please don't feel you have to write an epic. Short fic is often the most rewarding. I eat up even drabbles. Write me 5 200-word drabbles to make the word count minimum; I'll still go ape.
Thank you so much! |

Megatron: "Is it fear or courage that compels you, fleshling? Give me the Allspark and you may live to be my pet."

I filled out my Yuletide form, and when I saw that I'd messed up on one I'd volunteered to write--picked Richard Adams' The Plague Dogs instead of Watership Down--I thought, fudge, if I get stuck with that one, I should just suck it up, go read the book and write the damn thing. S.O.'s been telling me for years I should read it.
For exchange fests like these I get more excited thinking about what I'd like to write. What I request is a bit bewildered-feeling, half-hearted. Is that what everyone feels? When I click with a fandom, I usually think about the story that comes to me, which means it's a story I want to write, not a story I want someone else to write.
What I want from other authors are the stories I can't think of. |

I didn't carve my Halloween pumpkin this year until the 31st!
This is the original screencap that I chose:
Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji
And this is how the pumpkin came out (unretouched photo!):

Made my Yuletide list. I asked for 4 fandoms already on the list:
BlackJack
Ginn Hale - Wicked Gentlemen
Kuroshitsuji
Sunshine (2007)
And I added two that weren't:
Arturo Perez-Reverte - Captain Alatriste series
Michael Manning - Androgyne series (The Spider Garden/Hydrophidian/In a Metal Web)
I was surprised those hadn't been on there! For those who are curious about the latter, it's graphic novel erotica, and as intricately visual as it is, it's got a fascinating plot that was cliffhangered in the last volume, so it screams for fanfic. Check out the author's lj here. Note: Manning's stuff is very NSFW and he doesn't hide his art behind cut-tags, bless him. |

I love the 2007 film Sunshine, but as a MST3K fan, I had to give it the The Day the Earth Froze treatment.

Me: I hate that I've become so picky about bananas. They've got to be at the exact stage of ripeness and not beyond or I won't eat them.
S.O.: I know what you mean, I'm the same way.
Me: You watch them like a hawk: too green, too green, too green, not quite yet, a little more-- and then you take ONE bathroom break and suddenly, oh, f**k, I missed the window!
S.O.: Took yer eyes off 'em just long enough to inhale. And it's all over.
Me: Yeah, sometimes you hit them in that twelve-hour time span when they're edible. And just one day beyond that...
S.O.: ...it's time to call in John Constantine.
In other news, I watched the first episode of Ouran High School Host Club twice tonight, once in Japanese with subtitles and one with English, and, damn, I have to say, that's a great English dub. Think I'm gonna go with it. |

The S.O. and I watched all the episodes of Kuroshitsuji together and, of course, MSTied the hell out of them (like you do). The end credits for the later episodes got a lot of jokes made by both of us, so I made icons for 'em.

-I have no proper con report for Azkatraz, as the gist of it goes, "Glomped this person, glomped that person, glomped those people," and has no anecdotes of crazy doom to entertain you. Plain, delightful fun that does not make for clever blog posts. Not that I'm complaining in the least. Those of you who made my weekend awesome, you know who you are.
-I did remember that it was Harry's birthday yesterday. But when it came time for cake, I was craving an egg tart. If I sang over it, that counts, yes?
-In my travels I saw some in-flight films, among them Monsters vs. Aliens. There were some joke-went-on-too-long, they're-pausing-too-long-for-audience-reaction flaws, but it was still oodles of fun and my favorite new oath is Hugh Laurie as Mad Scientist Cockroach Guy (still the consummate gentleman) crying, "Hawking's Chair!"
-Anime series I am currently giving a try: Monster. Tortured ethical protagonist. Ristorante Paradiso. Cute gentlemen waiters of middle age in glasses. Variety is important.
-Why I have not yet finished watching Avatar: Because there's a large joy-post coming shortly to celebrate my love for it before I reach the end. |

| Discussion: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Film) |
[Jul. 17th, 2009|10:44 am] |
Half-Blood Prince.
Short version: Hooray for the film doing a great job with a book I thought was badly flawed. It came much closer to selling me on its story, and I only felt the absence of perhaps one element from the book. I enjoyed it lots, and a good portion of it felt perfect.
