(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! :'(

Oh man, am so close to being done with crappy law school applications I can taste it. I had to resort to a to-do list with lots of CAPS and underlines and !!!!, and I scheduled in tv-watching/fic-reading sessions just so I wouldn't do that before the important stuff, but whatever, ALMOST DONE! I'm still waiting for my profs to get their recommendations in and I have to like clean up the resume/extracurricular stuff, but that's it!

(Ok, well, BU apparently wants to know why I want to be a lawyer, but that essay should be easy enough so I'm not too stressed about it. It helps that I have no desire to go to BU at all.)

Also, my Nike Free sneakers* have finally been made and is now actually in the U.S. I am told they mimic the feel of running barefooted which I love even though it kind of kills my shins.

(My iD tags say "Veni. Vici." on them because apparently I am that cliched awesome.)

Somehow, I accidentally got caught up in other things and forgot that Alexander Skarsgård is the most adorable person alive. From his cute like Spike Awards speech (especially with the stooping down to reach the microphone) to his hole-y shirts and five outfits, never change Skarsgård! Frumpy cute guys are more endearing than model cute guys.

(No really, for some reason while everyone is like "ASkars in suit!" or "Look at his biceps!", I keep getting stuck on his like arm hairs or the sunburn on his cheeks or like the wrinkles from his eyebrow quirk. Like, somehow, his overall sexiness is not sexy to me but his non-sexiness is.

Luckily, this seems to be a Skarsgard-specific affliction as I totally find Matt Bomer hot for all the right reasons.)

Dear Hulu, please stop playing me the long-ass NuvaRing commercial as, aside from being completely dull, I personally disagree with it. Taking a pill at the same time everyday just really isn't that difficult, and I don't see the big deal about using a condom every once in awhile. I mean, this is probably a just me thing, but still, I'd rather hear about how pretty some car is, kthxbye.

Mmm, blueberry muffins, mmm.




*When I spent a summer at Cambridge, one of the people running the thing used to make fun of our American-ness and say "sneakers" in this incredibly overdone, sarcastic American accent, and now I always say "sneakers" that way (with an eyeroll) even though it's not really a funny word at all. Thank you England for not only ruining my NAME ("No one names their kids Chelsea in England. It's like naming your child Manchester United.") but sneakers as well.

Haha, I prompted aurora_84 to do the voice post meme in return for mine so here it is. I think I talk faster here than I normally do as I was getting a little close to the time limit, and lalala my voice in general sounds really weird recorded. And there is something funky with my inflection. Just so you're forewarned.

( Meme questions. )

Also, you know that other meme where you ask people questions that you feel like you would know about them if you knew them in real life or whatnot? Totally go for that, but I can't imagine anyone would have anything to ask as I fail at mystery.

P.S. There is a video game where you get to be a Recon Marine, and it's suppose to be hyper-realistic. Although, do Recon Marines drive tanks ever? Either way, I am very excited even though I've played like three video games ever. My gamer profile name thingy will totally be Iceman! ;)
