I've always said I'd stick with Livejournal until it dies, but the limit has now been reached. So, unfortunately, over the next long while I will be transferring my primary journal activities to my Dreamwidth fractured mirror.

You're all welcome to follow me on there, but I won't be friending back (or whatever they call it) for a long while until I can figure out how to reinstate the filters on some filtered posts. Right now everything is far too exposed over there. This will be a very rocky process.

I'm also looking for:
-Clear simple instructions on how to download and backup the stuff I have in Livejournal's Scrapbook, along with its folder structuring.
-An image hosting service that's cheap/free and reliable and offers at least 2gb of space.
-Places on Dreamwidth to find fandom communities there.

I'm sure more things will crop up as this process gets underway.

If I manage to write anything during this period, it will be posted to my AO3 account I do have a semi-active tumblr that I'm currently reblogging a lot of Merlin and random things on, and very rarely posting anything myself.

I ran my microwave this morning and didn't realize there was a flying insect inside it at the time. I opened the door after about 20 seconds of microwaving (a bun-worth) and it flew out and away.

Soooo, if the west coast of North America is ravaged horribly sometime this month by a lone mutant flying insect, I apologize, I didn't know it was in there. (Alternately, if it bites me and I develop super mutant flying insect powers, I promise to use them for the good of humanity or something.)

Leaving this dream public for now, since because of extreme crack and some actual plot and stuff it may as well be fanfic. Also, this is the first in-depth dream I've had featuring the Avengers, so what the hell.


( In which fake-Hawkeye nearly takes over the world because I am a bad cat-sitter and Tony Stark won't accept my calls. )

I haven't posted fanfic here since February, which is just wrong. No promises this is any good though, and I may chicken out and delete it won't be deleting it unless Hostess threatens to sue.


Title: Spongy Yellow Deliciousness
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating/Content: Gen, PG-13, Silliness. DOES NOT MESH ANY TIMELINES IN ANY WAY. Crack. Not to be taken seriously at all. Title is a quote from Zombieland which I have yet to see.
Word Count: 500-ish
Disclaimer: I do not own Supernatural, or any part or portion of Hostess Brands or their owners or subsidiaries, of which Twinkies are a trademarked property. I am not intending to defame Hostess Brands in any way, nor am I suggesting that Twinkies cannot be enjoyed in moderation as part of a healthy diet. I will state very firmly that to my knowledge, no real Twinkie has ever contained mind-altering substances from another dimension.
A/N: ( Rambling )

Summary: Dean returns from Purgatory to find that some things have changed.

Yellow Car in Lots of Languages
(a compiled reference for the Cabin Pressure fandom)

Just in case someone else hasn't already done this, here's a list of what "Yellow Car!" is in every nearly language Google Translate offers (not included are the few my own computer doesn't have a charset for.) I was looking up a bunch for a story, so I figured why not look them all up and post them.

The placement or existence of exclamation points may be wrong in a few languages, and I have no clue how to pronounce many of these. If anyone who speaks or knows these languages has a correction or addition, post it in the comments. I did try to look it up in Klingon, Vulcan, Romulan, and Tolkien Elvish, but no luck.

( List under cut, anything that shows up as boxes is a character set your computer doesn't have enabled. )

Title: Sherlock, the RPG
Fandom: Sherlock
Rating: Gen, PG13
Warning: AU? Non-British dialog with occasional gesture direction, profanity, and excessive use of the word "dude". CRACK.
Word Count: 800-ish
Disclaimer: I DISCLAIM ALL THE THINGS.
A/N: Found this on a rummage through my Google Docs and thought what the hell. Humour, but will make more sense if you have rolled polyhedral dice at some point in your life. Role-playing system used in here is SJG's Gurps, but I don't think you need to know anything about it. I may chicken out and delete or lock this. It's a bit weird. [LJ-only]

Summary: A climactic scene from "A Study in Pink" as part of a tabletop role-playing game held in Steve's North American basement.

I blame bellatemple for this. Hers is here. Mine is thankfully very short because LJ voicepost only lets non-US folk have one minute. This thing does not exist in text form nor ever will, my god, although I'm wondering what the LJ auto-transcribe feature will make of it. Anyone into accents, this is me and my BC Coastal Mushmouth coming at you.

Concept: Alcoholic Been awake 37 hours straight Pod Fic

Fandom: Supernatural

Summary: Record audio of free-association micro-fanfic while too altered to think about it much.

( Under cut in case transcribe is giant )

I've posted another Sherlock recs post on the sherlockbbc comm, and someone over there has commented with the coolest thing. It's a massive spoiler for the finale, it's a graphic, and it points out a detail so awesome I can't even brain! And it's true! I checked! :-D

***Massive SPOILERS IN COMMENTS of this post, Be warned!***

Title: Make a Statement Without Saying a Word
Characters: Sam, Dean
Rating/Warning: GEN, PG, CONVERSATION. Crack.
Word Count: 390
Disclaimer: Not mine. Title is from the advertising slogan of Exclamation perfume, which I also do not own and towards whom I bear no ill-will.
A/N: I have no idea. At all. o.O

( Smell me. )

Okay. This meme is evil. Because first it's all "*brain goes totally blank*" and then it's all "Well, I'll pick some actors and a concept and just do it" and all of a sudden it's twelve fifteen pages of political background, culture design, character backstory, mini-scenes and notes on location scouting and budget concerns, and, and gaaaaaah!! No one is ever going to read all of this! It's eating my brain, and it's just a freaking MEME! See? Evilness.

Man alive, it's been a while since I did some world-building. :-)

(DISCLAIMER: A couple cultural concepts are cribbed from sci-fi sources, but I'll be damned if I can remember the titles of the original stuff. So if you recognize it, I don't own it. All pics from Google Images, no ownership claimed.)

MEME Rules:
1. Comment to this post with "I surrender!" "please, may I have one?" or something like that that VERY SPECIFICALLY means you want to do this crazy thing and I'll assign you the basis of some TV show idea (genre or quote or random other starting point, etc).
2. Create a cast of characters, including the actors who'd play them.
3. Add in any actor photos, character bios, and show synopsis that you want to.
4. Post to your own journal.

gigglingkat gave me a quote (at the end of January O.o (Go read hers too! It's awesome and has fandom notes and is a hell of a lot more organized!)):

"Black as the devil, Hot as hell, Pure as an angel, Sweet as love.
~Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord"

(It's about coffee...)

( This way to an overwrought mass of ludicrousity. Also, it's a little scrambled and point-formy. And long. )
