    journalfen question
    Hey, flist, are any of you also on JF?

    If so, can you tell me what the frell is wrong with it? Because it refuses to accept my HTML, even when I write in the "HTML" tab of the posting page.

    It's driven me crazy enough, in the months since it started doing this, that I've stopped duplicating posts there. I should not have to wrestle and scream over a stupid post, and I refuse to do so; if it's not going to work, I'll quit while I'm ahead, no matter how much I love the idea of JF.

    Lance's Pretty-Much-Complete List of Roy/Ed Recs
    This post was made for [info]painless_j, but because I subscribe to the theory that it's better to do a thing once and well, it contains ALL of my Roy/Ed recs, including those I know J has already read, the better to serve as my own personal bookshelf and a rec list for others.

    Warnings, disclaimers, notes, and other miscellany:

    I should perhaps warn that many of these are AU-from-the-movie, because the movie breaks my stupid little heart and I prefer to pretend it doesn't exist.

    I have not read every fic by every author; ergo, that I have recced one thing by Author X but not another may mean that I liked the former and not the latter, or that I simply haven't read the latter, and thus have no opinion.

    Edward Elric, in canon, is 12-16 years old. This means that in a lot of fic, Edward is 12-16 whilst Having Feelings For someone. I do not warn for underage-ness unless Ed's in the lower half of that range.

    Other miscellaneous quirks:
    * I detest fangirl-Japanese, and won't rec fics where everyone is "Taisa" and "nii-san" and "Edward-kun"; likewise I hit Back immediately upon encountering "Edo" and "Aru", so if there are any really brilliant fics out there that use these, they will not be recced here.
    * I'm dreadful at summaries, so I just tried to keep them short; please don't put too much weight on them.
    * I have tried to warn for the timeline status of things, but reserve the right to have goofed up in places.
    * I have included Al/Roy/Ed in this Roy/Ed post.
    * I do not use the "name order conventions" common in anime fandoms; "Roy/Ed" does not imply any particular sexual role for each character.
    * I hope you enjoy it! I am amazed at how much I found once I started digging through my folders... :D

    Next post: recs for other pairings; gen fic; character-centric fic.

    Skuf, can I attempt a drabble for you, or something?

    Happy Friday!
    So here I am at IJ, posting! And, more significantly, not crossposting to LJ.

    I wish I had something clever and original to say, but I have just fried my brain with, um... ((counts)) sixteen hours of schoolwork. Yes, consecutively.


    Boy, do I need some pr0n!

    How are you doing today?


    ====

    Edited: Now With Links! Go forth and meta, fine people.

    [info]swtalmnd is hosting a fine discussion on genre "classics" and the standards by which we judge fic.</a>!

    [info]cluegirl has a writerly discussion HERE about the changes in characterisation from story to story!

    [info]skuf has some meta for the linguophiles among you, discussing the past and present connotations of the word fangirl!

    Not Meta But Hilarious: [info]plantinshadow's Harry-and-Severus comic sketch, "On Holiday"!

    And [info]cruisedirector has, also not meta, but some LOVELY flowers!

    Loveless ficlet: "Wait for it"
    So I wrote my first Loveless ficlet, in response to [info]inksheddings's Loveless Anonymous Kink Meme.

    ..And it's the wrong pairing! I have no idea why this particular request grabbed me so hard.

    Written for the prompt: Soubi/Kio. Soubi is leaving permanently with Ritsuka and Kio wants to say goodbye properly. Must have some kind of sex, whichever type you like. Extra points for tears during! If actual kink is a must, orgasm delayal would be cool.

    With minor tweaking, here it is:

    Happy Things meme
    I was tagged by [info]skuf, so you all get a meme.

    ⇒ Meme: The rules are simple. Just create a post about a few things that have made you happy recently. Then tag 8 people and have them post this meme on their journals.

    1. After four solid days of overcast skies and rain, today the sun came out!
    2. Losing weight! Almost nine pounds so far!
    3. Paychecks!
    4. [info]snarry_games artwork! \o/
    5. Earl Grey!
    6. A day off, spent painting!
    7. Spicy potatoes!
    8. Even numbers
    9. Christmas is coming!
    10. Chocolate-covered marzipan!



    I tag anyone who wants to be tagged (it's not very happy-making to be tagged for something you don't like, or to not be tagged for something you want to do!)

    Fic rec: "Time And Again"
    If you've been missing Sushi's HP fic, I have great news! Go and read Time And Again. (Try not to wibble as embarrassingly as I did, though.) Since Sushi doesn't give away the pairing/s, I shan't either, but be warned that there are het overtones. (Don't let that stop you, though!)

    fic rec: "A Reason To Celebrate"
    DementorDelta and CruiseDirector have just earned 10,000,000 points and a free lifetime supply of squee! A Reason To Celebrate (Part One, Part Two, Part Three) is exactly what I wanted: post-Deathly Hallows Harry/Snape that fixes canon in the best ways without destroying it.

    Sheer Laziness
    I've been fer-de-lance on LJ since 2004, and oddplaces on JF since 2003. That is FAR too much posting for me to try to copy into this journal, especially considering that I now ALSO have a journal at GF as well.

    Instead, I'm going to make posts by pairing/subject, with links to the JF entries. This will simplify things greatly, without being messy. (At least, in my head it's not messy. I suspect that in practice there shall indeed be mess.)

    All of which is just a roundabout way of saying you might want to filter this journal for the next day or so, to avoid the flood of entries.
