sticky: fanfiction and icons
In case you were wondering (and you probably weren't), I do indeed write fanfiction. But for the sake of keeping it all in one place, it's here. I am also taking part in the
mission_insane fic challenge. Master table is here.
Fandoms:
- Batman (9)
- Supernatural (1)
- Watchmen (2)
Icons can be found via tags or my galleries where they are currently stored (this will change once I hit the 1gb limit).

An original fiction challenge with 50 prompts. Minimum 500 words per prompt.
My claim is horror.
I know, I haven't even finished the last challenge I entered into, but I'm telling myself this is different because it's original fiction (even though the amount of time I have stays the same).

I've only just finished season 3, but I can totally appreciate good TV writing in this compared to the crap I usually watch. For one, I like how they never end a season on a cliffhanger. There's always a nice tying-up of loose ends and closure. (I'm pretty sure something goes horribly wtf wrong at the end of season 4, but I don't want to be fully spoiled yet.)The Lila experiment of season 2 was a bit meh, but season 3 with Miguel Prado has been excellent. I also spotted a potential American Psycho ref (I could tell them, but then I'd have to kill them) but I could be wrong. The other characters aren't so annoying anymore and Dexter is still such a likeable serial killer.

So I finally, finally, finished my really long multi-chaptered Batman fanfic which has been hanging around since August 2008 and I feel properly accomplished. Relieved, actually. Over such a stretch of time, I totally lost interest. Terrible, I know. I'm really good at not finishing what I start, which is why I only write oneshots, but I didn't want to leave this in incomplete limbo, particularly since it's been published episodically and I have readers aside from myself to think about. So closure was good.
It's Ghost Town, incidentally. My first and only foray into romance writing which turned out moderately popular with the ff.net crowd (take that however you will).

For someone who listens to so much AWS, I sure don't post enough about 'em. Latest video "Fun Time", which is actually probably my least favourite song on the new EP but whatever.
That depends on how horrific we're talking here. I mean, I listen to some pretty horrible music by general standards. In any case, music isn't the world to me and I get along fine with people who have different tastes. It's just a bonus if they happen to listen to the same stuff. To the extent that music is supposed to reflect personality, then that might come into play (somewhat). I can't say with any certainty that I could be best buds with someone who listened devoutly to music I can't stand on an ideological level (as opposed to casually listening to that kind of music), but hey, who knows.
newfound appreciation for Cillian Murphy
Don't get me wrong, I've always respected Cillian Murphy even though I didn't think he was that spectacular. He's brilliant as Scarecrow of course, and he was decent in 28 Days Later (from my hazy memory). And then I watched Red Eye, which was... odd (good in some parts, terrible in others), although I still kind of liked it overall. Murphy was surprisingly charismatic in that. He was also a sympathetic character when he kept getting tripped over and all sorts of bad luck later on.
hey, I've seen whatsitsface in that other movie!
I watched The Amityville Horror remake, which was pretty lame despite the good actors in it. Then I noticed that two of them, Rachel Nichols and Jimmy Bennett are also in Star Trek. Coincidence or conspiracy?

So last night I finally got to watch the latest Heroes episodes (413 "Upon This Rock"/414 "Let it Bleed") and OMG OMG OMG. Major fan service! Sylar topless not once but twice in an episode! Ship validation! This is bound to fuel a lot of fanfics and I can't be happier. Excuse me while I go watch it again and flail around like an idiot.

New year, new hair. And I got a fringe, which is different and I'm not used to it so it's rather annoying thus far. Anyway, it looked alright when I got it freshly cut and it was all blowdried straight, but then this morning after I washed it and looked in the mirror, I was hit with this horrible realisation. My hair goes a little bit frizzy/curly, and all of a sudden, I look like a younger, female version of James May.

OK, OK, I exaggerate. It's not that bad. But it was still a scary moment.

My friends and I have a great NYE tradition, which unfortunately has fallen apart this year because everyone's away (including myself). We'd stake out for the fireworks (best in the world, mark my words) at midnight and then stay up for the sunrise. Last year we went to Bondi Beach, and it was fucking freezing, but the sunrise was totally worth it.

Fandom that you never expected to get into: Heroes. Everyone warned me against it, saying how the story went really downhill, but you know, these things don't really matter to me when eye candy is involved... Besides, I started with season 4 and worked backwards so I didn't really feel the drop in storytelling.
Fandom that made an unexpected comeback: Top Gear, maybe

Yeah, it's not Xmas yet, but I am in such a giddily happy mood right now thanks to my lovely lovely friends who have made Xmas come early =D
I have gotten my Sylar fix (thank you N!) and it is good. Oh so good. The rest of the show is kind of boring when he's not in it, but well, I really don't care. It's worth it LOL.
Went to see Dorian Gray, so now I can finally say I've seen a movie that Ben Barnes has played in. That was also totally worth it, because the eye candy was phenomenal. There was absolutely nothing of value in that movie, except for Ben Barnes lookin' smokin'.
And my biggest fix of this weekend has been Matthew Reilly (thank you B!) because I've been itching to read his latest book, and it's everything I'm expecting it to be, cheap cliffhanger ploys and all <3
Lastly, I've got my mystery present from Q which is an awesome puzzle ring, like so:

and I can't put it back together OMG. I've been trying (not very hard, while watching Heroes) to piece it together but it's still a mess. This may take me some time.
