so, i realized today that i've written about 500k worth of fic in the last 3 years. that's five books.

oh my.

also, um. i've been rethinking my decision to give up posting on ffnet. there are pros and cons, obviously, but the bottom line is that i met so many of you through that site, and i wouldn't give that up for the world. so, um. do you have any advice?

Zanni asked me to spread the word about this, so if you wouldn't mind taking a few minutes to read this over:

Hullo, friends. I would like to, if I may, bring your attention to Fyodor Pavlov and Lawrence Gullo. These boys are amazing artists; and more than that, they are delightful souls full of wit and panache. Together, they produce a lovely webcomic, Baritarian Boy. Mr. Gullo also has a long-running webcomic called My Life in Blue. The two have plans to marry soon, but there has been a snag in their nuptial plans. They recently purchased some Faberge monocles (in lieu of traditional wedding bands). Unfortunately, these items were lost while they were out with their friends. Being short on funds, they do not have any extra money to buy a replacement set at the moment. Here are the firsthand accounts in Mr. Pavlov's journal and Mr. Gullo's journal.

If any of you have money to spare, they are selling artwork in order to make the money for a new set of wedding monocles. Fyodor Pavlov's artwork can be found for sale here. Lawrence Gullo's art can be found here.

They really are a fine pair of gentlemen, and I can only hope the best for them and their wedding. If nothing else, I encourage you to see some of their art (sketches, paintings, puppetry, and more). I admire both the style in their artistry and the style in their ways of life.



I've only recently been introduced to their artwork myself, but I think their styles are beautifully surreal and weirdly gorgeous, and I hate it when sad things like this happen, so please do check them out.

i'll cut it later, adi :)

Hi! I'm writing this using a tablet, which is cool on account of the fact that it alleviates just about all of the strain on my wrists. I'm still practicing, but I think I'm getting the hang of it! Firstly, thank you all so much for wishing me a happy birthday! It really means a lot! I love you all lots. Secondly though, I thought I'd leave you with a small present. I wrote this fic a while ago for 0SS, but as I rushed the hell out of it, I wanted to edit it before posting it officially on my lj. Still not completely happy with it, but am I ever? Some of you have probably already seen it, but I hope you enjoy the edited version. And if you haven't seen it, I hope you like!

also? i miss my icons :(

BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT

EVER

Hi! So first of all, welcome to everybody who's friended me over the last few days from ffnet! I know that I'm sort of inconveniencing all of you right now, especially the people who didn't have ljs before, but hopefully you'll all enjoy yourself while you're here! And lol if you've got any questions, just ask and I'll be more than happy to answer.

Anyway, it's that time of the year (by which I mean it's the last month of school and there are essays and when I'm done with those essays there will be more essays and when I'm done with those essays I'll have even more essays and if I ever see another word processing document in my life I'm going to buy a pack of gummi bears for the express purpose of tearing their poor little heads off as a means of stress relief, and then I'll have zombie gummi bear nightmares and I'll end up quite distressed and still needing to do more essays woe), and I think that everyone could do with a pick-me-up of sorts. So, for everyone on my flist, I propose a love meme of sorts!

Comment (either with your accounts or anonymously) with something that makes you happy! A compliment, a love note, a song, a photo. Tell your best friend you love them. Write a letter to your mother. Post a picture you think is pretty. Talk about your favorite ships! Comment on someone else's comment, whether you know them or don't, and say "hi, I hope you have a great day." If it makes you happy, post it!

I'll begin, with a video I saw for the first time about a week ago on nuvolaluz's journal. It made me smile ♥

( validation )

let's just get this out of the way first, because you know it's coming:

Now that that's done:

HEY, HEY

YOU GUYS

YOU SHOULD ALL WISH fish_for_stars and nuvolaluz a VERY MERRY BELATED BIRTHDAY. BECAUSE THEY'RE AWESOME. I REPEAT: AWESOME.

So what does this mean? It means that I finally got off my ass and did something. Two somethings, actually, though only the first is a present. The second is just me being an idiot. BUT. I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH, AND I'M SO SORRY THIS IS LATE. I hope you enjoy!

Title: A Treatise on Fairytales, Reworked (2 of 9)

( by my estimates, this story will be done in approximately seven years )


AND AS A LIMITED TIME OFFER: I wrote High School Musical fic. No, I'm not joking. Yes, I do love the trilogy. In fact, I adore the trilogy and think it's awesome and I'm a little in love with Chad. Anyway.

ANYWAY. I LOVE YOU ALL, AND I'M SORRY THIS BIRTHDAY FIC/GREETING IS TERRIBLY LATE. I ADORE YOU.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLINGS.


also, four mini notes.

one: did I forget that? my bad.
Because I'm pretty sure I've forgotten everything.

two: DOES ANYONE WANT TO PLAY BATMAN? BAAAAAAAAAAATMAN?

three: on that note, I'm picking up Giselle and I DEMAND a Prince Edward.

and four: semi-hiatus, because I've somehow fucked up my wrists and if I want to ever type again I figure I should probably give them a rest, so. ILU ALL

So, I really do have a number of things to write about (CLICK MY DRAGONS GUYS ), but more importantly is this:


Title: oedipus
Pairing: AkuRoku
Genre: ACTION. COMEDY. ROMANCE. No, wait...
Rating: PG-13
Notes: okay, you know how I always say "lol this is the weirdest thing I've ever written?" I MEAN IT THIS TIME. Written for ronsard in the oh_shit_santa exchange (WHICH EVERYONE SHOULD CHECK OUT BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME), where two of the prompts given were akuroku + supernatural. So. Also, huge thanks to asario who served as a beta for this, and to silverwyrm, nurikokoishii, questofdreams, and atanih88 for letting me bounce ideas off them and listening to me freak out again. and again. and again.
Summary: So, let's say you sell vacuum cleaners.


( We begin with an infomercial )


(it's a two parter, so when you're done with the first, click the "onward" link!)
