Hiiii, I'm back, you guys. :3 ( I shopped like my life depended on it and spent like crazy and now I have no moneys left but it was pretty awesome over all. )

2008 was a good year, over all. Not magnificent, and actually it was sort of exhausting, but I can't really complain. Now, the stats:

( The year in books, movies, fic and original fiction. )

And now I shall stop because I've been writing this for the past like, two hours and it's probably long enough, lol. So, really, HAPPY 2009! may it bring joy and adventure and love and crazy times to all of you lovely people. ♥ ♥ ♥

( You wanna know what we do in Graphic Expression V class, which is supposed to be acrylic all semester long? )

I'm pretty sure the supernaturalfic mods must hate me by now. Last time I posted there I messed up the subject line, and today and apparently hit the post button twice, lol. XD

My friend has finally finished Deathly Hallows and we fangirled in loud loud voices and talked about whose deaths made us cry the most and it was, no joke, sort of fantastic. AH, POTTER. YOU SHALL ALWAYS BE ONE OF THE GREATEST ERAS OF MY LIFE.

Also, I just posted the Large Fic of Doom I've been blabbing about for ages! A Thousand Shades of Red, in which Sam is growing up and sexing up Dean while at it. :3

( About Narnia and Neil Gaiman's fanfiction in the 'verse and my cousins that won't pick up a book even if you payed them )

So, remix authors have been reveiled and wee, das_kabinett remixed Companionship Is You (Harry/Ron) and did an amazing work! That story always bothered me because it was pretty much plotless, but she managed to give it a wonderful backstory and THERE'S HARRY AND RON BEING COPS SUPER AURORS THAT WATCH CSI. The story ended up as pure win, and making complete sense. Go read it! Companionship Is You (The Stealing Is A Crime Remix)

I wrote a remix of ishafel's Vigil, which was hard, because the story was quite rounded up already. In the end, though, I think I ended up with a strong Sam voice, and I do love to write children, so that's good. :) Weirdly enough, I started respecting a lot the original author's style, but near the end it becomes a very me story, i.e. lots and lots of one-liners *g* I'll repost it in here tomorrow, but here's a link, for now: Vigil (The Waiting in the Dark Remix).

Wow, you guys deserve a prize if you've made it all the way here o_O So, the runway for the costume design I entered was on Friday and OMG I'M SO SHOCKED WE DIDN'T WIN. [/sarcasm] The dress didn't end up looking that bad, not really, but... Anita's the only in the group that can sew, so she did whatever she wanted with the dress and it ended up SPARKLY. Yes, in all caps and bolded. Girl diggs her glitter, I guess. The rest of the team? Not so much. So bah. The runway itself was pretty fun and we laughed a lot and there were some seriously kick ass costumes - one of which was a girl dressed up as a fireman, with only the hose being the entire dress. Yeah, imagine the wolf-whistling XDD And the guy I like showed up, which was nice. :)) I'm just glad it's over, truth to be told.

Tomorrow, I'll bitch about Superman's lameness. Why yes, I know you're all excited about it. *g*

My brother and I plotted this cracked up video game yesterday. o_O He was thinking of a cheap Halo rip-off but then I got carried away and started thinking about an underground tunnel web beneath the San Juan de Dios market that people used to use to smuggle pirate CDs and the like and that they start using as an army refuge after the aliens come and attack the earth. It was mighty fun. XD

I guess I'm to late to flail about Heroes?

( Heroes 1x13 - Fix It )

So, anyone has Claire/Peter recs they'd like to share with me? *puppy eyes* I really dig Heroes fic in general but all I can find is a big pile of crap in shippy comms. *sigh*

January writing round-up!

Dejen Que Las Dunas Lo Entierren, Original, PG.
Post apocalypse universe, in which the world has turned into a giant desert and the only culture remaining is the Arab one, living in Europe because the heat's unbearable down south. I really was going to translate this, but I was kinda sick of it after days of not thinking of anything else. What d' you think guys, want me to finish the translation?

Keep Walking (Nothing To See Here), Supernatural, gen, PG-13.
The world ends on Tuesday the thirteenth, as Dean is trying to choose between Lays and Doritos in a run-down convenience store. I kinda really like this one. Especially the zombies. Zombieeeees.

Nameless, original, boyslash, R.
He likes to get you to pant for him, to shut your eyes because looking at him is too much when he's talking like that, nose brushing your eyelids. he likes to kiss you by the open window, smirking at random people walking past it.


UGH, ONLY THREE, SO LAME. I don't know why I've been having so much trouble to write as of lately. I'm writing longer stuff, sure, but last January? I wrote TWENTY-ONE fics, 17 of them being a large, plotty series. *stabs muse* And right now I'm in that mood again, when I'm ACHING to write and yet I don't feel like writing what I should be writing. ARGH. It's so frustrating.

Happy Day of the Dead!! I'm going to have hot chocolate and Death Bread for dinner, omg YUMMY (this is my favorite kind of bread in the whole wide world), and if things go right, I might go to the spookiest local cemetery tonight. *bounces in excitement*

Today's also tokyoghoststory's birthday!! Go to her journal and spam her with weird photos!

Now, I have a preposition for you guys. I have this fantastic title, but no story attached to it: Let Me Take A Taste Right Off Your Lips. It was supposed to be the title for my latest SPN fic, but it didn't fit, but I really, really like it, and want to write something for it.

So I'm having a contest! You guys'll comment with what you think the fic should be about, be it crack, humour, angst, darkfic, your choice; and I'll pick the coolest, craziest one and write it as full-fledged fic (so that's, uh, 1300+ words). Please, make me happy and participate, pimp it, whatever. Fandoms would preferably be Supernatural and Doctor Who (and what the hell, Heroes), but if you're, you know, moonix or someone equally cool, I'll accept HP. GO, GO, GO!

I posted fic earlier today, And That Ashen Taste on My Mouth. *pimps herself shamelessly*

The bad thing about waking up so late is that it somehow feels as if you've wasted an entire morning. Bah. I want to try and draw a bit this afternoon, I've had this idea going round and round in my mind for a few weeks. And joy, I've found a bit of watercolor paper! I still have to go and buy some more, though.

About Ultimate X-Men, how much does 'Return of the King' rocks? A LOT. But really, one'd think they could stick to a single artirst, for God's sake. And again, while I love the style of Chris Bachalo (from Ultimate War), it still doesn't fit with X-Men - he draws women beatufifully, but his men end up looking ar too chartoony for this kind of comic. But yeah, much love. (And apparently, both him and Kaare Andrews dislike Jean's short hair as much as I do XD)

I'll be posting my sentences in a bit, but before that, some music! The first two are songs that I fell in love with while hearing a promo for The L Word's second season, two are from the Nana movie, one from the anime, and the other two just because *g*

The Organ - Brother
Ladytron - Playgirl
Fall Out Boy - Dance Dance
Hi-fi - Hard to Beat
(Nana) Mika Nakashima - Glamourous Sky
Nana (anime) opening - Rose
(Nana) Mika Nakashima - My Medicine

I posted Nine/TARDIS/Ten OTP fic yesterday, btw.

Página: Page, Noun. (the G is pronounced like the English H) I like this word because the G sounds very smooth and soft, which contrasts with the strong P. And it helps the fact that it has to do with books XD

I've been reading Sirius/James fic all afternoon long. *headdesk* In case you're interested, I've added quite a lot of them in my memories (I even created a 'folder' for them!). The angst pretty much rocks, oh yes.

I'm sooo behind on my dogdaysofsummer reading, though - I haven't read any today, guh. I also haven't finished the novel-length H/D fic I started reading yesterday, because two kicks away from finding each other, BAM, and they're suddenly so horny for each other. I hate that in long fics, especially considering it's post HBP. *eyeroll*

About the mayor reclist, I think it's amazing - I've been reading wonderful fics thanks to it all day long. It is kinda strange, though, that some fics that I consider THE fics aren't listed - for example, mysid's Going Back to Being Friends saga, which was both the first slash and the first R/S story I ever read, and the one that made me love it to pieces. *shrug* Fandom's fickle like that, I guess. And I'd love you forever if you guys could go and second me in here, I'd love to end up in the list.

Anyway, does anyone know of cheap things to see/do in New York? Because if things go well - and I'm crossing my fingers - I could be going there with my family the last week of July. *hopes*

OMG IT'S RAINING.

*dances around*

Err, I posted Doctor Who fic last night. Quite late, actually.

I hate, hate, hate the summer time system (daylight saving thingy?? I've no idea how it's called in English), because I like me sleep, but there is one perk. I had class today from 7 to 9, and I woke up at pass 6:30. My mom woke me up, actually, since either I turned off my alarm without noticing or I don't know what, and I was like 'Oh, it's late. I won't make it anymore.' and mom said 'okay, it's better if you don't go running while on the higway.' and I went back to sleep. XDDDD until 9 or something. it was glorious I tell you, to miss two of my three most boring classes in the week. :) So I stayed home all morning lazying around, and watching Doctor Who and generally doing nothing productive.

I actually started writing my wellymuck fic at Mexican Art History (with Violent!Pups, as suggested by dzturtlepower!), but then my friends arrived, and I had to switch places between them since Nelly wanted to seat next to her crush, and I knew that if they caught me writing in English they wouldn't leave me alone about it, and the fic is going to be sexy damnit, and yes I'm a little ashamed, sue me. So I started to write this original story about a mathematicist that cares too much about numbers to even notice his wife. It's going okay so far.

Writing class today! I recieved some good critique for Paraíso Gris (Which I totally haven't finished translating. Sorry.) and again, Rodrigo's story blew everyone away. *sigh* it was just so damn gorgeous. My assignment for the Easter holidays (OMG YAYZ VACATION!!) is minifiction, or better said: Drabbles. I'll have fun with that one... *smirk* Which is actually funny, since I was planning to make inky_fingertips' second prompt a drabble fest. What do you guys think?

Ugh, I'm so tired I'm actually planning to skip any kind of reading and just watch some Doctor Who and go to bed. But I don't want to get so behing on Wellymuck!
