I ♥ Miscellany. But not.

[schmevil]

♥ I'm terrible at meeting fandom deadlines. Two seasons later, I still haven't finished my iconography challenge fic, and Giles lingers in LAX, waiting for direction. On a whim I signed up for lasultrix's HP flashfic challenge and received two pairing requests that I have no affinity for. Moreover, I've long thought them both absolutely cracked, but like a good little fan, I'm soldiering on with the Hermione/Millicent. Somehow it's taken on a Sophocles vibe, with Draco and Pansy scheming. There are days when I just don't get my brain.

♥ It's funny. I've been working so much that I haven't had time to go online in the last few weeks, but I'm clocking ever more geek-hours. I've settled into the comfortable re-read process, starting with CJ Cherryh and planning to finish with Douglas Adams. I spent an entire paycheck on used CDs, commandeered the player at work and put in the Right Kind of Music. I now spend more time talking about music with customers than I do serving customers. Latte? You don't need no stinking latte! Shut up and enjoy the Sloan. Also, I can't seem to stop buying comic tees. Yes dammit, I do need another Green Lantern tee. Yesterday I spent three hours in the Silver Snail, and just managed, by the skin of my teeth, to keep myself from buying a huge Aragorn poster. Woe. I am weak.

♥ Speaking of Tolkien, sajasma suckered me into reading The Silmarilion and I... I want to write Silfic. Turinfic, to be exact. *coughSopheclesripoffcough* It's all so tragic and deeply amusing. Can anyone rec me some Turinfic? I've looked, but it all seems to be Elfsmut and Hobbitsmut and horrific combinations of those.

♥ I want pie. Pumpkin pie.

♥ I'm tired. Very, very tired. That is all.

I appreciate your soldiering. :) Plenty of days to go! And remember, doesn't have to be true love, or even requited, unless the requirements demand it.

Good to know! I was having trouble with the mutual affection aspect. Now I can focus more on the scheming. *g*

[lasultrix.livejournal.com]

Scheming's cooler than affection anyways.

My daughter (only 14, but smart as a whip) the Future of Fandom reads Silmfic on fanfiction.net. She says "don't go to the LOTR category, go directly to The Silmarillion:

and search for Turin. Silmfic has one of the lowest crud counts of any fandom on ffn, because you have to actually be able to *read* to want to write it."

She has no particular Turin recs because she's a Fingon/Maedhros gal, and anyway she prefers characters/situations with at least the *potential* for fluff.

Thanks for the link! I haven't seen any Turin fic yet, but I have my fingers crossed.


(I'm so going to end up writing it, to fill the void)

If you want Pumpkin pie, then you will have to come over to my apartment. Driving tme is about 40 hours, give or take. Remeber to start at HWY 401, then take HWY 402 and continue west on I-69 and I-84.

See you soon!

*salivates*

Yes, you do want to write Turinfic. You really, really do. And I want to read it.

*g* I'll let you know if I produce anything worthwhile.
