Hi there! If you are reading this you probably stumbled over my journal. Anything you see on a public setting is fandom related. The stuff under lock is generally my personal thoughts, opinions, and apropos of nothing. If, for some reason, you think you would be interested in the latter, feel free to comment to me. I just want to spare otherwise uninterested people, not start a secret clubhouse to overthrowing the world. Although that would be fun to do in my spare time...
Title: Five Petals Falling Series: Nobuta wo Produce Spoilers/warnings: Set during the end of episode four. Hints at Shuuji/Nobuta/Akira and all permutations therein, with some Shuuji/Mariko. I don’t know it’s a subtext thing. Wordcount: 5,921 Summary: What if. AU diverging at the 11/4 confession. Shuuji is forced to make a choice and deal with the consequences. Author’s notes: For annnimeee since she has to put up with me on a daily basis. Sorry it's so late, I’m a bad roommate.
Title: Korra and the First Firebending Lesson Series: Avatar: the Last Airbender (and Journey of Korra but not from any actual knowledge of canon or whatever) Spoilers/warnings: Spoilers for the ending of A:tLA, specifically Azula’s end. Silly crack stuff. Imminent jossing of canon facts. Wordcount: 1,200 Summary: One crazy old lady for a sifu is bad enough. Two is exponentially worse. A/N: For starsofnite! Uh, hopefully it will at least make you laugh.
So what do you get when you combine animation + music + dance? Princess Tutu! But also this, which is gorgeous, and far more than the sum of its parts.
Doctumentary shows he also worked as an animator on the Iron Giant as if I didn't need to justify my admiration for him already.
Resolution said write more, not write better. Baby steps!
Title: Principles of Relativity and Exotic Matters Series: Community Spoilers/warnings: Spoilers up to episode 2x10, “Mixology Certification.” Slashy undertones if you like to read that into Troy and Abed's interaction. Wordcount: 1,248 Summary: Troy and Abed talk on the way home after the bar.
Welp, I kind of stopped posting there for a while. Oops.
Title: Who Knows You Best Series: Rapunzel also known as Tangled but whatever Disney, whatever! Spoilers/warnings: Post-series. Deals with emotional abuse. Wordcount: 1,394 Summary: A mirror shard and shorn hair are enough to finally free Rapunzel from her life in the tower, but not all ties are as easily cut.
Title: Let Go in Small Doses Series: Avatar: the Last Airbender Spoilers/warnings: Ty Lee/Azula, vague spoilers for the finale Wordcount: 505 Summary: Written to Regina Spektor's "Ode to Divorce" for the Ladyfest Appreciation Meme. 'You're eating something minty. And you're making that face that I like. And you're going in, in for the kill, kill. For the killer kiss...'
Title: Big Time Award Show Series: Big Time Rush Spoilers/warnings: Dumbness, lack of continuity, and theoretically written after Big Time Dance Wordcount: 1,362 Summary: Katie’s commencement ceremony becomes a three ring circus when the boys and Gustavo Roque are forced to tag along. Author’s note: Congrats peroxidepest17! I'm sorry this is my lame and poor attempt at a "graduation" gift.
Title: Such Shaping Fantasies Series: Princess Tutu Spoilers/warnings: Set right after season one. Slight Kraehe/Tutu subtext. Wordcount: 2,500 Summary: A restless mind makes for foretelling dreams.
Suffering from a death flu is a good enough excuse as any to look through my early writings. This is (thankfully) the only story that seemed to survive on the internet. And wow, sixteen year old self: -you're adorably pretentious -and redundant -mostly pretentious because I can totally see you using that awkward Latin there -...the sense of humor remains just as immature now as ever I'm just going to leave this here the next time I need to laugh at myself and my creative endeavors.
Title: Evolution Series: The Adventures of Sinbad Spoilers/warnings: set in the magical alternate second season that had Maeve and Mustapha Wordcount: 20,700 (jeez, I wish writing came this easily now) Summary: Maeve and Firouz have to step into the realms of science and magic in order to stop a madman who plans on destroying them both.
Title: Time to Face the Music Series: Buffy: the Vampire Slayer/Runaways/Young Justice Spoilers/warnings: Warped AU of the Buffy-verse where things diverged with the Pride’s kids and Young Justice crashing the dimension. So Buffy didn’t die, Bart ended up being the Key, Anya terrifies Chase after infidelity talks, and Kon is still super “mature.” Wordcount: 4,023 Summary: There are no small parts, only small actors and people from alternate dimensions who sometimes go off-stage. Author’s note: For poor_choices, who bought me in the help_haiti auction like the cheap hooker I am. Just keep telling yourself it was for a good cause.
Another unspoken resolution I have this year is to stop being an over-analytical whiner and just write. Which primarily focuses on how I have no pacing for longer stories to save my life and thus don't attempt them. TIMELY EXPOSITION IS MY NEMESIS. I have probably written this chapter over twenty times, posted and deleted it twice, and will likely never finish the story. But whatever, I am posting it now, considering it done, and moving on without constantly re-editing the damn thing this is a lie, I bet I will wake up and fix a dozen things looking at it again.
Title: Flint and Spark (1/?) Series: Avatar: The Last Airbender Spoilers/Warnings: Set after the finale, so all canon events are fair game. Wordcount: 8,783 Summary: Five years later a tenuous balance is on the brink of collapse, ready to send the nations back to war. Toph can stop the conspiracy, but with her only help being the manipulative exile, Princess Azula, her enemies may not be the biggest problem. Author's notes: If you're brave enough to read this mess, concrit would also be adored.
I thought Dr. Facilier was an interesting villain but his motivation was really unspecific, especially since he was a foil to the princess with the most concrete goals. I guess it makes sense though. A charlatan is all flash and image, but no substance. much like my writing
Title: Go Down Easy Series: The Princess and the Frog Spoilers/warnings: Mentions voodoo but since Disney isn’t 100% accurate (gasp! shock!) and my research is conflicting/spotty I've mostly tried not to sound terribly ignorant, although if there are any mistakes I would appreciate correction. Wordcount: 1,260 Summary: Pre-series. The Shadowman before he was even a man, but a child. And he too was taught that hard work and dreams would make his life better.
Attempt #8 at getting out of writer's block. sob so pretentious Everyone can clearly tell my character biases from this selection. Also spoilers for the finale.
Title: Three Thieves and a Penguin Series: Leverage Spoilers/warnings: None. Wordcount: 292 Summary: For Skye’s birthday! And it’s exactly what the title says. Sorry it's short and two hours late.
I've been trying to write seriously for two weeks now and failing miserably. So I decided to say screw it and go with something dumb. poor_choices, this isn't what you asked for but you're getting it anyway.
Title: A Fine, Fine Line Series: Leverage/DC comics Spoilers/warnings: Too dumb for real plot. Technically set in the second season for Leverage. DC has nothing it wouldn't retcon away if they could. Wordcount: 1,470 Summary: Hardison learns some things even hackers shouldn’t try to get around.
Title: With a Little Seasoning Series: Kung Fu Panda Spoilers/warnings: ...does vague Viper/Po teasing count as a warning? Wordcount: 2,510 Summary: Po doesn’t know how to live up to expectations, especially when they can change. Author’s Note: I claim mental amnesty for this idea from finals. Since Kung Fu Panda was the only thing I was watching for a lot of it.
