(Now that I'm officially 24 and mid-twenties instead of early-twenties, does that mean that I'm really really an adult now? DOES THAT MEAN THAT I'M GOING TO BE MIDDLE AGED SOON???? Ewwww! ;)

Also, my favourite old joke remains "When I was your age, Pluto was still a planet." Unfortunately, my younger friends have failed me by aging with me and alas, I can no longer use it as often I like. Woe.)

So that's, um, one prompt done. For oxoniensis who asked for "Brad/Nate, Nate as Brad's lawyer, Brad's in prison for some serious crime, but he's innocent".

Also, I tricked her into betaing her own story. Sucker! *ahem* I mean, thank you! (No really, thank you! ♥♥♥ Although if you keep cornering the market on awesomeness, there will be none left for the rest of us. ;))

(Um, I kind of know nothing about courts or trial procedure except for like a five minute google so crazy errors abound I'm sure.)

(Hi, I have not forgotten all my lovely prompts! I'm trying to go in order and oxoniensis's prompt required thinking on plotty bits that I epically fail at. But it's almost done!

And speaking of, would anyone be willing to beta 5k-ish of Nate/Brad lawyer AU either tomorrow or Wednesday? For being a very non-wordy/prolific writer, my *ahem* comment fics tend to get away from me sometimes, and I am very typo prone so a beta would be great.

Also, omg I am denying myself answering/writing comments until I get at least one prompt done, so that is why I am being so douchey about responses! I promise it is not just natural douchiness/laziness blending through.)

I got my Yuletide assignment, and I think it will be...interesting. This is the first year I'm doing it for whatever reason, and it's a lot crazier than I thought it would be haha.

( Dear Yuletide Santa )

(Things that should never change: Supernatural, Alex Skarsgard*, and delicious ginger molasses cookies yum yum yum!)

So I signed up for Yuletide the other day, and alas, there's two stories that I really really want (Nate/Flynn for Uncharted and Brutus/Antony for Rome) and then I blanked on the third. I mean, there's a lot I would love to read but not nearly as much as the first two. (I picked History Boys just because I really enjoy Dakin and Irwin and it's pretty rare, and also because there's enough good Gen Kill fic out there that I am not in dire need of more per se.)

But while I was considering very seriously (as you do) what fandoms I could write for, I realized that I could totally come up with at least 1000 words of Eric/Godric backstory with the right motivation. Which got me thinking...

Prompt Party! I kind of want to write something but have no idea what, so if anyone has any ideas, I am all up for it! Give me a fandom, pairing/characters you want to see, and any kind of a prompt. I think everyone's saying at least 200 word responses, but it might be more a bit more. Also, I am way more of a fandom slut than I appear to be so you can totally request any fandom that I know/appear to know/should know, and if I can do it, I will. Go wild!

*To clarify: I am totally talking about the lolz-y outfit and not the interview. Oh Alex! I am endeared.

(A consolation to the getting lost is that I at least got lost in Harvard Square, and if I ever write a proper Nate-in-Boston fic, I now have the....research to back it up. \o/)

Guys, After Action Report: The Generation Kill Transcript Project is open. I'll take a moment to let you bask in one of the greatest things to ever happen to GK fandom. (Too bad your fandom is not awesome enough to have a transcript archive, screencap gallery, character gallery, maps, timeline, and more.) Seriously, everyone needs to just go pour love on oxoniensis because I had a bit of an inside look at all the organization involved and just woah, I don't even know how she does it! She is like the Nate Fick of fandom, for realz! And she made the whole experience very fun and exciting so ♥♥♥!

But also, this whole thing was such a team effort, and I am still amazed at just the sheer number of people who contributed. My entire team (madmaxmaddison, live_laugh_love, and stealmyluck) was so great, even with Christeson's crazy movie dialogue impersonations and Alpha wondering all over the place. You guys rock so much! ♥♥♥

So you know how Intersections is my favourite fic of all time? Well, kaneko is writing prompt snippets, and last time it brought me Brad and Nate at the beach (hi, Chel/ocean = OTP 4EVA!) so I cannot wait to read everything! The awesome has already begun pouring in!

(Someone make her write more of the prison-ship AU! I need more of this universe like I need water.)

Guys, Uncharted has made it in as a Yuletide fandom. I watched the boyfriend play this game (it's a pretty amazing game, the way the storytelling is done is amazing), and the minute Flynn stepped into the scene, I started telling him about how Flynn and Drake are so definitely sexing it up.

And now I can request it for Yuletide. This is totally enough reason for me to sign-up. ♥

In conclusion, thank you fandom for being awesome beyond words. ♥

Ok, so trolleys asked for ZQ/Matt Bomber a few days ago, and I thought I could at least provide comment-fic since she's been drawing OMG SO AMAZING BRAD/NATE. But yeah, apparently I don't know what comment-fic is because I broke the character limit by a bit.

A word of warning, here's what I know about Matt Bomer the Person: he's very pretty and he likes to kiss boys. My knowledge of ZQ is basically limited to his bromance videos with Chris Pine. And if Chris Pine isn't that douchey, then ZQ isn't really this much of an asshole, and Matt Bomer isn't this slutty-esque (♥).

Also, un-betaed (and written mostly at 3 am). Sorry! It was suppose to be comment-fic, and I suck at finding betas quickly! :'(
