mood: stressed
music: "Blindness" by Metric
This is a really long work in progress that has practically no chance of being finished because I am a hideously slow writer. I just want to write as much as the drive takes me, so consider yourself warned of cliffhangers.


Title: Flint and Spark (1/?)
Series: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Spoilers/Warnings: Set after the finale, all canon events are fair game (and some of the comics but that's more pick and choose).
Wordcount: 3,965
Summary: Five years after Sozin's comet a tenuous balance is on the brink of collapse and 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.

I've finally crawled out of the backlog of all my obligations (okay just some) but the perfect response would be to give myself more work. Everyone I flaked out on before has full permission to smack me here. Yes, even if I'm still working on their other stuff...

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead.

music: "Stuff Is Messed Up" by the Offspring
There are a lot of things I could say about yesterday as a California voter. How I voted, and it doesn't seem like enough when there are neighbors who are convinced in the inferiority of certain families and marriages for being different. Yet I still have hope, because I know and believe in the virtue of these families. That these people are capable of just as much love as anyone else.

Which means my idea of counteracting fear and bigotry is writing super fluffy domestic PWP slash stories. And maybe it's just my way of counteracting something so serious with something trivial when you look at it, but if it helps reaffirm things then it does what it's meant to do. Remind us why this is important. So if anyone has a terrible domestic prompt they want me to write I'd be happy to try.

rec for "Urban Myths"   
03:07pm 03/09/2008
 
mood: restless
music: "Mordred's Lullaby" by Heather Dale
Okay I haven't bought a comic from Top Cow since...probably that Batman/Darkness miniseries you can judge me for it, but you have to admit it was better than any of the other DC crossover titles at the time. But they have this awesome contest where six series get a first issue published, then the two titles that get the most votes by their readers go on to be produced into full-length series.

The nominees are fun. Some are relative newcomers, to Eisner nominees, to the president of Top Cow. There's standard fare for the company (that is hilariously on the bottom of the poll), some slice of life/supheroics, crime drama, sci-fi pulp and my personal favorite: Urban Myths.

That link takes you to the full first issue, fast and fun to read. The world is a mix of mythology and city living, where people in the present still believe in Greek gods. With good reason, since their presence is in obvious cohabitation with the normalcy of present day life. The little throwaway mentions of consumerism with these myths made me scrutinize each page for in jokes. Oh and I forgot to mention the main character of the story is the son of Medusa. And it's amazing how the offspring of someone who could turn people to stone manages to look kinda cute about it, even with the metal mask.

Jack Medusa manages to work the hard-boiled supernatural detective angle familiar if people read Hellboy, but at the same time keeps a lighthearted personality. A lot of it is from the art, which is gorgeous and vibrant without being excessively cartoony. Urban Myths stays far away from getting too dark or too absorbed in its quirkiness to work, which a real pitfall in this genre. I was surprised how simple the story is but wonderfully balanced between the plot at hand and the greater implications about the world and how Jack fits in it. It was the only one of the bunch I not only wanted to vote for but wanted to buy if it won, and that's exactly why I'm exhorting people to read it and then make sure it stays in first place. Because winning means more issues and more issues mean a greater chance of seeing Jack Medusa having to rescue adorable Greek myth-based kittens.

"Many Moons" by James Thurber   
03:09am 16/05/2008
 
mood: nostalgic
music: "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon" by Shawn Colvin
There was a children's story about a princess who asked for the moon that I loved as a child. It was called "Many Moons" by James Thurber and one would think that I would have recognized it from my later re-exposure to him. The only problem was I had forgotten almost everything about it, even the ending, except to instinctively recall that it was a happy one for everyone involved. Which you might wonder about a story where someone asks for the moon, because it's become an expression of asking for the impossible. And often something that, even if possible, represents asking for something at great expense to others.

When I was a child my mother told me I did the same thing one night when I held out my hand to the carwindow and asked her, "Have it?". I don't believe it was anything else but an innocent question, but I can't help feeling a little embarrassed to hear about it, that I asked for too much and even now my mom is still trying to get me the moon. But this year I rediscovered it again and figured out why I was so pleased with the ending I had forgotten.

So I wrote it up, because I love this story and I want other people to love this story, even if they never asked for the moon like I did. I also suggest finding a copy of this one, as it has been reprinted and the illustrations are gorgeous.
