Here I Am

This looks fun! And to find others to squee with about this show other than poor larah33 getting my random emails, might be a good idea!

After writing/reading wonderful fic at the drabble-a-thon, everyone should head over to medie and wendy, who are both running love memes. I went through and tried to comment on people before I got distracted...and I'm going to head back over. Love and kindness are always good things to spread around, my friends, because then those people are more likely to be the same way to others.

And yes, I may have just written a Jared/Jensen drabble where Jared is jealous of Michael Phelps. I am so very lame and I love it.

medie is hosting a Pep Talk Meme - This is, er, not a love meme. Not in the traditional livejournal sense of the word. Basically it's a Pep Talk Meme for writers/icon makers/vidders, whoever. You can put your username here or you can out someone else's username here and people drop little peptalks about your work in comments. For those of us who can do it, but just need a little pick-me-up now and then.

Go play! And if you're interested...

My thread: http://medie.livejournal.com/1543869.html?thread=14453437#t14453437

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.

I'm sleepy and achey from allergies, so there isn't much to report on my end. I'm around though if anyone needs me.

I got the okay from the doctor this afternoon to go back to work tomorrow. I'm finally doing better. I just have to try to take it easy. Hopefully, this will work.

In the meantime...

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post* about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.

Top Twelve of AI tonight! And maybe, just maybe, I'll actually start my SPN Big Bang.

Because I'm a sucker for crossovers...

I've made a list of characters, 1-10. Without knowing which characters I have at which numbers, ask some questions about them: How would 9 meet 2? If 3 and 10 were roommates, how would that work out You know the drill.

ETA:

My ten characters

1. Dean Winchester
2. Sydney Bristow
3. Jack Bauer
4. Maria Delucca
5. Sam Winchester
6. Nathan Petrelli
7. Lorelai Gilmore
8. Veronica Mars
9. John Crichton
10. Jeremy Darling

Choose any one of my stories - could be a drabble, a 50,000 word 'verse, a PWP, ANYTHING. Give me a link to it, and a timestamp--say, 10 years in the future, 5 minutes before the start, whatever you want--and I will write you a drabble set during that moment in time in that particular story.

My stories: in memories, in tags, and most are on my website (though stuff from November and on is not up yet...)

DRABBLE MEME

The first fifteen people to comment on this post get to request a drabble from you. In return, they have to post this meme in their journal. Post all fandoms you’re willing to write for.

Fandoms: Supernatural, Heroes, Ugly Betty, CW RPS, Sports Night, Brothers & Sisters, Charmed, Roswell, Alias...basically, if I know the fandom and/or have written it before, feel free to choose it.

Tennis is ruining my tv viewing and it upsets me. It's not my fault that most of the good summer shows are on USA, so why am I being punished by having to endure tennis? Why?

And while I'm pondering important life questions - why do long weekends go so fast and why doesn't this time burst ever effect work weeks?

So I read one of the published Charmed books because it had Chris & Wyatt with Leo on the cover. And I'm a sucker for Chris & Wyatt fic, so I put it on my amazon list. And lordy, it was so very bad. I don't like the way the boys were written at all. I'm spoiled by the few good Charmed writers out there who give me a good Chris & Wyatt relationship. In this one, Chris was just weird, nothing like the Chris we got to know over season six.

Chris & Wyatt were my original brothers fighting supernatural things, my friends. I don't like them written badly. And when I actually find myself saying to iamtheenemy "I write a better Chris" than it's pretty bad.

The "Get a letter and think of 10 things you love" meme is going around and heidi8 gave me the letter "D." If you want a letter, just leave a comment.

1. Dean Winchester - that boy owns my heart. I love Sammy a whole helluva lot, but Dean has me wrapped around his finger. I hurt for him and want to shake sense into him. And I just love how much he loves his brother.

2. Dean/Sam - This might be cheating, but I don't care. I love Dean/Sam. I love how much they love each other and would do anything, rules be damned, for the other one. I love when they bicker. I love when they have each other's backs. And I would really love it if they HUGGED every once and awhile. Seriously, Kripke needs to let them hug. Even if it's under a hex or something. I want hugging.

3. Daughtry - Because I loved Chris on AI5, but it was probably a good thing he didn't win because he rocks and is doing much better by doing his own thing. I love the whole album.

4. Dead Like Me - Snarky grim reapers. Was there anything better? Stupid showtime had to go and cancel one of my favorite shows.

5. Dexter - I'm still so pissed that Michael wasn't nominated for an Emmy. That was bullshit because it's not easy to make an audience care, let alone come to love, a serial killer. And dude, it was funny and sad and just really smart. I can't wait for season two.

6. Drew Fuller - Chris Perry Halliwell! He is the reason I ended up not giving up Charmed after season five of crap...because he came in and I just loved him. There was a lot of wasted potential with his character, but I loved him. And I love him now on Army Wives too as Trevor.

7. Daily Show - Does this need to be explained? Just watch an episode and you'll understand.

8. Doors - I love the music. I've loved it since I was young and my older brother played it for me.

9. David Boreanez - Angel! And his dad is my local ABC weatherman! And he's from Philly! And really hot.

10. Dogma - Brilliant movie, especially coming at it from a Catholic. Plus, Kevin Smith just rocks.
