| 10:41 pm | kirk/mccoy update Oh my word. You guys, I have SO MUCH STUFF in my Kirk/Bones folder! *stares* I'm still working on the Big Rec Post, but, uh, this is gonna take a while... especially considering I don't have another day off till Wednesday. *facepalms* Sorry, sorry, sorry to everyone who was hoping I'd hurry up. |

| 10:12 pm | a question into the aether Does anyone know when the Archive of Our Own might be open again for accounts? It seems like I went there months ago with the intention of signing up and it was in "closed beta" then; maybe I'm imagining this, but I'm definitely not imagining seeing that message yesterday, with no indicators of when it will be open again. So, anyone know anything? |

| 9:57 pm | ALERT: Fanworks theft! Thanks to ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} allzugern for alerting me to this:Ebay user doctor_beth2000 appears to be selling "fanzines" for profit... without the consent of the artists and writers used. One of the works listed for sale was discovered by the artist and has now been pulled, but there are 450 listings for this person's account, and I bet that there's more stolen stuff than just that one "fanzine"... If you're an artist or writer in Smallville, Star Trek, Stargate, Due South, or and inform other Fen to go to this ebay page and also check to see if their work is being sold at her store: doctor_beth2000. There are 744 Zines offered there. 744! There is fiction being offered from an astounding variety of fandoms. In five pages of browsing, the list of fandoms on offer contained: ( partial list of fandoms ) I also see at least one original work, "Solace" by Alexa C -- anyone know this person, and whether this is an authorised production? Some of the zines look authentic -- one gave a publication date of 1996 and had some water damage. However, many had no date at all, which makes me very suspicious. Artists and writers, please, no matter how obscure your fandom, do a title+description search for your fandom within this seller's items. (I've noticed a lot are listed only by acronym, so search "MFU" as well as "Man from Uncle", etc.) I don't know what a word would be worth from me, since I am not a writer, but at least one author has submitted a complaint to Ebay (I think; and I know allzugern has), so let's see what we can do, folks! |

| 12:26 am | dreamwidth invites I keep meaning to post this and forgetting! Anyway, I have two dreamwidth invites available. If you'd like one, drop me an email (it's in my profile); I'd prefer they went to people who don't already have an account there, but otherwise I don't care who gets 'em! |

| 1:15 am | An unusual request: het recs! So, uh, I promised an RL friend I'd send her some of the "hot" fics I liked. She's a het reader, and I'm primarily a slash reader (she doesn't know this), but I figured I've read enough het that I could come up with some offerings even if they were from my "older" days in fandom. Then I went digging through my bookmarks, ... and I found one. ONE. Which was a broken link, but I emailed the author and got a copy. Either I have read a lot less het than it feels like, or I have done something unfortunate to my bookmarks, but either way I am feeling a bit sheepish. Is all my porn gay now? So I was hoping you lovely people on my flist could help a slasher out and point me at some good NC-17 het for the following fandoms: Harry Potter Pirates of the Caribbean FF7: Advent Children Lord of the Rings Thanks SOOOO much, you guys! |

| 10:21 pm | Dreamwidth I now have a Dreamwidth account: ferdelance, probably unsurprisingly. I will not be abandoning either LJ or IJ, though if enough people move, posting priorities may shift a little. (Right now I try to keep IJ the first-updated of the journals, but I don't always manage.) |
| 10:20 pm | I'm alive! In sum: There was a sort of hurricane, it ate my power, and I am now at my parents's house. I'm alive and safe and my flat is undamaged, so really: much to be grateful for; but my internet access is going to be a bit sporadic till I can convince my laptop to get along with their modem. |

| 9:59 pm | Association Meme, Round Two The lovely and talented rainjoyous gave me three association prompts: ( FMA, naturally. ) ( well-thought-through comments ) ( And, and. Snakes? ) I guess I should do that "ask me anything" meme next, so you can have more things to associate me with. *grins* |

| 11:46 pm | Association Meme, Round One Prepare for wordiness! So, the Association Meme: you comment and I give you a list of stuff I associate you with; you post in detail about them in your journal. ROUND ONE: from inksheddings1.) Seme!Ritsuka 2.)

| 8:09 pm | holiday roundup What a lovely bunch you all are! ciceqi sent me tea and musics! (That I have yet to sit down and sort through, but I'm sure it will be awesome!)Mother Nature sent me two days of warm weather! Rana sent me a beautiful Snape card! Kinei from holiday_wishes sent me a postcard after I sent her one! I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of things, and I also haven't checked the mailbox since I got back into town -- if you've sent something, please tell me so I know to look for it? |

| 7:26 pm | 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. |

| 12:02 am | Lance's Pretty-Much-Complete List of Roy/Ed Recs This post was made for 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 ( Let the recs begin! ) Next post: recs for other pairings; gen fic; character-centric fic. |

| 12:37 pm | 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. swtalmnd is hosting a fine discussion on genre "classics" and the standards by which we judge fic.</a>!cluegirl has a writerly discussion HERE about the changes in characterisation from story to story!skuf has some meta for the linguophiles among you, discussing the past and present connotations of the word fangirl!Not Meta But Hilarious: plantinshadow's Harry-and-Severus comic sketch, "On Holiday"!And cruisedirector has, also not meta, but some LOVELY flowers! |

( What attracts or has attracted you most to HP fandom? ) ( What attracts or has attracted you most to Loveless fandom? ) ( If you could learn any language at all, effortlessly, what would it be? ) ( What's your boggart? ) ( What's your Erised reflection? ) Current Music: A Perfect Circle, "Magdalena" |

| 6:24 pm | Loveless ficlet: "Wait for it" So I wrote my first Loveless ficlet, in response to 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: ( Wait For It ) |

| 7:41 pm | Happy Things meme I was tagged by 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]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} 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!) |

| 12:49 am | 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!) |
