Fandom Stocking 2012
Jan. 8th, 2013 04:02 pmNow that Fandom Stockings have been revealed, I can show you all the great stuff I got! And also link you to what I wrote, if you're into that sort of thing.
( Come inside for loads of delicious fic. And also some stuff I wrote. )
I also got this as well as a bunch of other new icons, and a header to use on my DW journal when I figure out how to add a header. Note to self: Figure out how to add headers to DW. Yay fandom stocking! It was really fun and I'm glad they had such a great turnout this year.

I am sort of torn about today's entry in the calendar. On the one hand, it is pretty hilarious that this exists. On the other hand, it is so bad. So, so bad. I'm really sorry, you guys.
Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta -- Baby It's Cold Outside
Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta -- Auld Lang Syne/Christmas Time Is Here
I really hate Baby It's Cold Outside, no matter who's singing it, but in this one at least the roles are reversed? Olivia Newton-John will be singing the part of the date rapist for your listening pleasure. You can hear how much fun they're having together, and how ridiculous they both find the entire experience, so it's sort of sweet. But I can't listen to it anymore, because I seriously hate that song.
Unrelated to the above, I wrote a holiday-type fic thing for the puckurt Chrismukkah exchange on tumblr. It's posted on my AO3 now, if you're into that sort of thing.
While You're Busy Making Other Plans, Puck/Kurt, PG, ~1000 words. Warnings: Kidfic and schmooop.
I am working today and tomorrow, and then I'm off until New Year's Eve. (I can't believe the library's open on New Year's Eve, but whatever.) I hope to get lots of writing done at work, because I still have a pinch hit and a treat to finish for Yuletide, and there are plenty of fandom stockings to fill. Have a great weekend, everyone! I hope you're all done with your shopping so you can stay in and enjoy the anticipation. And the cookies. Also I hope there are cookies.

This morning before work I downloaded Glee. After work I will be packing up and driving to Nashville to meet ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
tao and aukestrel for a Bell X1 show. Perhaps by the time I get home on Saturday I will have come to my senses and decided not to let the promise of Winn suck me back in.
But here's the thing: There's a very good chance that Will/Finn is about to become THE slash pairing on the show. (Aside from all the Klaine fix-it fic which is likely already being written and posted to Tumblr, of course.) Don't get me wrong, I will always have a place in my heart for Kurt/Puck. Their dynamic is super fun and there's nothing quite like Noah Puckerman's headspace. But I think we all know Winn is the OTP of my heart. I mean, they're both such idiots and they've got these massive hero complexes and they're dopey, codependent romantics. It's like they were tailor-made for me.
So now, when Finn's finally out of school and people will stop being squicked by the student/teacher dynamic, the pairing finally has a chance of taking off* and if I don't start watching the show again, a bunch of people are going to come along and claim my boys and I'll just be that weirdo on the fringes writing a bunch of sad AUs, as usual.
Or maybe I'm just bitter. Or looking for an excuse. Possibly both. Some days I really hate fandom.**
_____________________________________________
* There's still the problem where everyone hates both of them, but that kind of makes them work even better.
** It's possible the medication my doctor switched me to after insurance refused to cover the first prescription is making me a little hyper. I hope it lasts.

::sadface:: and some fic news
Jul. 28th, 2011 01:26 pmIn case anyone wanders through here looking for Those Old Streetscapes, you can find the latest chapter at AO3. I'm afraid that's the best I can do until such time as LJ is working again.
I try not to be a fatalist about these things, but I fear this may be the beginning of the end of fandom on LJ. Not that many people have migrated to DW, however, and it's so *lonely* over here. I miss my people, especially this week when work has been super-stressful.
This whole mess does make me really grateful I never bothered with a permanent LJ account, however. And I wouldn't even mind moving to DW if it wasn't for the icons. And I'd miss LJ's scrapbook a lot. And, you know the people.
I do have some DW codes, I think, if anyone's in need.

I Watch So You Don't Have To: Hybrid
Apr. 5th, 2011 10:26 amSince I have no fan fiction to offer today, and I don't particularly care to be doing any of the things I should be doing (i.e. my job, or figuring out the ending of Trains) I feel that today is the perfect time to start a new series which I am calling "I Watch So You Don't Have To".
The series will consist of reviews of movies featuring various Glee cast members. I reckon all these posts will be image-heavy, and I cannot always guarantee work-safe images. I don't think there's anything in this post that will get you in trouble, but there is a lot of shirtless Cory Monteith, so I suppose it depends on your job.
( Hybrid: aka the Cory Monteith Werewolf movie that is not really a werewolf movie at all. )

Thanks for the reassurance. ♥

Musical Advent Calendar: Day Eight
Dec. 8th, 2010 05:34 amOn the last day of Hanukkah, I bring you a classic from the always fabulous Tom Lehrer, who reminds us of the virtues of vacationing in warm weather over the winter holidays:
Tom Lehrer -- (I'm Spending) Hanukkah In Santa Monica
( A word about Glee. )
Stop making me want to write fix-it fic, Show. I kind of wanted to write that football AU next, but now I'm going to have to write stupid Christmas fic. Thanks a lot.

(A little while ago Bess walked into my office and said, "I read that Will/Finn story you posted. Afterward I needed a beer and some M&Ms." I think that's possibly the best feedback I've ever gotten on a fic. And from a coworker, no less! It's not hard to make her blush or anything, but sometimes it's kind of fun.)
For a little while now I have been working on a Puck/Kurt-centric fanmix -- working title: Wedding Mix (spoiler alert: THEY GET MARRIED AT THE END) -- and there was this one song that I loved, but it just wasn't working for them. Then it dawned on me that it was actually a Will/Finn song, which launched a new Will-centric fanmix. I haven't given Will much of a voice in this series to date, mainly because while Will's a part of the relationship, certainly, up to now it's mostly been about Finn's journey of growth and discovering what he wants. (Puck calls it 'becoming a real boy'.)
So now Finn's figuring it out, and he knows what he wants, which is Will. The trouble, of course, is getting Will to believe that. So I suppose going forward that Will will have more of a voice in the series, and as a way of easing into that I started thinking about kind of a soundtrack for the two of them. The first fanmix* I made for the 99 Problems series was completely Finn-centric, and while this one isn't All About Will, it definitely focuses on him more.
Uh, vague spoilers for the future of the 99 Problems series, I guess? I mean, it's not like you can't guess where we're going with this thing, but if you really don't want to be spoiled, you should skip the notes after each track** and just download the zip file.
( Back to the Start: A Will/Finn Mix. )
____________________________________________
* None of those links are good anymore, so if you need the zip file let me know and I'll upload it again.
** Whatever, everybody knows fanmixes are just an excuse for posting cheesy covers anyway. I mean, come on, look at his Drama Face. How am I supposed to resist that? Though this is actually what I was listening to while I wrote that story that made Bess blush, so it must be doing the trick.
