Mar. 28th, 2014 01:28 pmTalkin' 'bout Asvel.
taichara: "And finally, Asvel's hit 11, and doesn't have any enemies in dire need of killing. It's time. Time for pants."
eliyes: XD
eliyes: reporter: Asvel, why is it you are now breaking your embargo on pants or leggings?
Asvel: Well, it's been pretty violent around here, you know, and I've been doing my part. I actually started off with pants, but it's really hard to get blood and guts -- and gravedirt stuck to that, when we had time to stop and bury a fallen comrade -- out of most fabrics. Much easier to go barelegged and wash it off my skin. Things are settling down a bit now, though, so *deep breath* I think it's time.
reporter: I see. Well, good luck to you!
taichara: *cackles*
taichara: (Leif: Thank the GODS. *tired of getting flashed every time Asvel's wind spells flipped his hem*)
eliyes: Asvel: *will miss the breeziness...*
taichara: (Seliph: *still will not judge you, cousin ~* *hee*)

Mar. 11th, 2014 04:08 pmI must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

"be positive about writing" meme
Feb. 15th, 2014 01:23 amclaravoyant posted the following exercise (and then deleted or moved their blog, so I can't link the original post):
1. of the fic you’ve written, which are you most proud of?
2. favorite tense (past/present/future)
3. favorite POV (first/second/third/etc)
4. what are some themes you love writing about?
5. what inspires you to write?
6. thoughts on critique
7. create a character on the spot…. NOW!
8. is there a character you love writing for the most? the least? why?
9. a passage from a WIP
10. what are your strengths wrt writing?
11. what are your weaknesses wrt writing?
12. what’s your favorite place for writing resources?
13. who are your favorite writers?
I think the original gist was that people were supposed to give the poster a number and they'd answer (it was on tumblr, that seems to be a thing), but I am not going to do that. I'm just going to repost these here because I think all my writerly friends might get some benefit from thinking about what their answers are to some of these. I may post some answers in a future edit.

random commentary Jan 11, 2014
Jan. 11th, 2014 02:26 pm* I bit my tongue in my sleep and had to get up and put Oragel on it to numb the pain enough to go back to sleep. Swear to God my teeth are more dangerous to me than to anything else.
* So there's this one bus driver I dread getting, but he usually drives the morning buses on a route that goes past one of my work sites, which means sometimes it's unavoidable. I call him "asshole speed demon" in my head. As you might get from that, he drives fast; faster than a bus should maybe be going on cit streets. That's not the worst bit. The worst bit is that he also breaks suddenly and hard. I have learned not to get up before the bus has come to a full and complete stop or I end up bruises for weeks. This strategy failed me this week when I had no choice to get get on his bus or wait 20 minutes in the cold to catch a different one, and it turned out the pull-strings to request a stop weren't working.
* Since beginning to put my fic on AO3, it has hit home that I really cannot predict which of my stories people will like. I especially cannot do so extrapolating from how much feedback I got on them on LJ. The most popular one (most hits and kudos) never even got a comment here. v(._.)v
* Random piece of filk I generated when I got up today:
C'mon, everybody!
But don't be confused!
We're all Cybertronians
But people don't realise
They all seem to ask us,
"Who do you think you are?
Are you from the stars?
Are you from the staaaaaars?"
Well, we're the MiniBots
Oo~ooh
Oh yeah, we're the MiniBots!
Oo~ooh~
*snicker*

"All right. Let's dance"
Dec. 14th, 2013 07:35 amCary-Hiroyuki Tagawa is in the trailer for the next season of Teen Wolf. I don't know if he'll have any scenes with Linden Ashby, but I hope we see at least one Mortal Kombat joke in the behind-the-scenes footage, or at least at a con. :3
Also I keep hearing Gina Torres will be in this season, which causes me to happy dance uncontrollably.

Dec. 2nd, 2013 08:49 pmSo I'm watching Teen Wolf s1e2 "Second Chance at First Line", and when Stiles and Scott go to the hospital, just before Scott ducs through the door that says "Morgue", the PA goes, "Doctor J. Hamilton, Doctor J. Hamilton", and it was totally ripped from "I Remember Now", the first track on Queensryche's album Operation:Mindcrime. It's the same voice, the exact same way, it's FROM the track.
Just.
Holy shit.
ETA: And in the third episode, the hospital PA uses the "Dr Davis, there's a telephone call for Dr. Davis" bit from the same track.

Title: Hazard (Out Of This Town)
Fandom: Teen Wolf (TV show)
Author's Note: Tag for "Lunar Eclipse" s3Ae12. Title inspired by the Richard Marx song.
Summary: I keep seeing fic where Stiles is angry that Derek left. This is the opposite of that.
( So he had a mental list of things to talk to Derek about in this call, so what? )

Oct. 7th, 2013 01:18 amClearly, Tai's spirit animal is Bruce Banner.
What was that?
Oct. 3rd, 2013 03:35 pmFrom the next room, I just heard Tai make a high pitched noise.
For the record, Tai is not really a high-pitched person.
This noise was at least 2 octaves higher than even the highest pitched squeal I have ever heard her produce.
This is why.

I got an AO3 account. Most of my Livejournal comms are dead or dying, sadly, and all the challenges and exchanges seem to be moving there (even 852 Prospect moved there!). I'm going to mirror some of the fic I've posted here over the years there. Maybe I'll actually come out of hibernation.
Erm. I recommend against subscribing until I have that first wave of transferring over with unless you like being spammed. eta: It's safe now!
