I wish I was a mermaid and was friends with all the fish

A proper update is coming soon, I promise! But in the meantime, have a meme.

- Reply to this post with the phrase I LOVED YOU ACROSS TIME and I will pick six of your icons.
- Make a post (including this info) and talk about the icons I chose.
- Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
- This will create a never ending cycle of icon glee.

Or, pick some more of my icons and ask me to talk about them, because this was super fun!

beerbad picked these icons:

( Pretty pretty pictures )

Also, I keep meaning to post and then not really having anything to say (stupid real life, why are you so boring and full of school?), so:

Ask me my Top Five Whatevers. Fannish or literary or otherwise. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! Fandoms, ice cream flavours, cartoon moments, women in my fandoms, OTPs, ideal holiday destinations, goals for the future, celebrity crushes, books I wish would be made into movies, love songs. And I will answer them all in comments a new post.

18 fics this month, about 34,000 words, which is pretty good. Even though I still haven't finished my spook_me fic. Or To Wish Impossible Things.


And She Was (Brothers & Sisters - Rebecca - PG-13 - 5275 words) Justin discovers a time capsule video Rebecca made in high school. Set during early season two.


The Trick Is To Keep Breathing (Battlestar Galactica - Crashdown/Boomer - NC-17 - 950 words) "I'm not a Cylon." She says it the way she might have said I'm flying CAP tomorrow, like it's nothing of great importance. Spoilers up to episode 1:8 - Flesh And Bone, including deleted scenes.


Depth Perception (The Pursuit Of Happiness Remix) (Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Xander/Buffy - PG - 330 words) Even if it's not the Bronze, she can close her eyes, and pretend. A remix of Misery And Happiness by allfireburns.


Half Life (The Death Or Something Like It Remix) (Dead Like Me - Mason/George - PG - 200 words) It's a little bit broken. A remix of What It All Comes Down To by ineffort.


Starches And Other Inappropriate Temptations (The Slightly More British Remix) (Dollhouse - Dominic/Adelle - PG-13 - 250 words) She learned to read him long ago. A remix of Tangerines by duh_i_read. Spoilers up to episode 1:7 - Echoes; vague allusions to the rest of season one.


They Sold You On Their Way (Bridezilla Remix) (Heroes - D.L./Niki - PG - 250 words) It's an old superstition, but good luck can't possibly hurt. A remix of Part Of The Job by lotus0kid.


Bad Medicine Is What I Need (Star Trek - McCoy/Uhura - PG-13 - 2278 words) Uhura is absolutely brilliant ... at xenolinguistics. Her mandatory medical coursework, on the other hand, could use some help. Thankfully, McCoy has gallantly volunteered to tutor her.


À Ma Soeur (Wizards Of Waverly Place - Justin/Alex - NC-17 - 3562 words) Justin and Alex watch a movie. (That he doesn't enjoy. At all.)

Are Written On The Subway Walls (Wizards Of Waverly Place - Justin/Alex - NC-17 - 1952 words) Justin and Alex sneak out. Or at least, they try to.

Burn Your Life Down (Cities In Dust Remix) (Wizards Of Waverly Place - Justin/Alex - PG-13 - 500 words) She's always been good at ignoring danger signs. A remix of In Fire, In Ice by moirariordan.

Don't Confess (Wizards Of Waverly Place - Justin/Alex - NC-17 - 5132 words) Alex and Justin are forced to tutor Max. It doesn't exactly go smoothly. Spoilers up to episode 2:22 - My Tutor, Tutor.

Springs Eternal (The Redux Remix) (Wizards Of Waverly Place - Justin/Alex - PG-13 - 500 words) A (very) fractured fairy tale. A remix of Fragmented by applepips16. Spoilers up to the movie.

The Shake Up (Wizards Of Waverly Place - Justin/Alex - R - 6064 words) There's still something going on with Professor Dinklemeyer, and Alex is determined to get to the bottom of it. Justin still isn't sure he's on board. Spoilers up to episode 1:14 - Wizard School (Part Two). Sequel to The Night Moves.


Exactly Not Like A Fairytale (Ever After Remix) (Supernatural/The O.C. - Dean/Taylor - PG-13 - 500 words) Taylor's always had a habit of falling for boys who are nice to her. A remix of Exactly Not Like A Fairytale by ineffort.


(Nobody Ever Made Me) Crazy Like This (Disney RPF - David Henrie/Selena Gomez - PG-13 - 756 words) She's still finding it a little difficult to concentrate. Or to speak. Thinking is mostly out of the question, too.

Hey, This Bottle Has Poison In It (Reading Can Save Lives) (Disney RPF - David Henrie/Selena Gomez - PG-13 - 658 words) Their first day back on set, everything is different, and nothing is.

Meet Me In Puerto Rico (Disney RPF - David Henrie/Selena Gomez - PG-13 - 1334 words) She has no idea where the line even is any more.


Also, I had a very fun Halloween. talumin bought candy for trick-or-treaters, even though we don't really do that here, and we had a Halloween episode marathon - we watched Two Guys, A Girl, And A Pizza Place; Miss Match; How I Met Your Mother; Buffy the Vampire Slayer; The Office; Dark Angel; Grosse Pointe; Angel; and Wizards Of Waverly Place. And I dressed up as Pyjama Girl, which, shut up, is totally a real costume.

Now, um, I might actually write fic? Or something?

I only write two fics in March, which is not that surprising, considering I've been working on my stories for thelittlebang and boxofmagic. Anyway, they were both for fandoms I hadn't written in for a while, so I'm counting it as a win.


I Enjoy Being (Insert Here) (Arrested Development - Michael/Lindsay - PG-13 - 1169 words) Two things Lindsay tried to be, and one she didn't have to (but did anyway).

Electric Feel (Heroes - Nathan/Claire - R - 1252 words) The wallpaper is too loud, the water pressure sucks, and she already misses her own bed. Spoilers up to episode 3:19 - Shades Of Gray.


The latter was written for the Heroes anon kink meme, which is actually the first time I've participated in a kink meme; it was a lot of fun. And I really meant to write some fics for bsg_pornbattle, but I was out of town (and without internet access) the weekend it was on. I still need to read the fics that were posted there, though, and I might even end up using some of the prompts as inspiration for later fics.

And, whew! I (finally) finished my BSG miniseries picspam, which took me way longer than I anticipated - still, it was a lot of fun, and the pretty = ♥. One thing-in-progress done, only a zillion to go.

( Run for your life if you can )

I was feeling ( spoilery character stuff about season three so far ). In the meantime, some vid recs:


3 AM Call by shati

Who is this? Awesome, chilling Niki vid, and the music choice is fantastic.


The Wreckoning by charmax

A Niki-Jessica vid that kicks ass - one of my favourites.


Jack, or, Adventures in Reading Against the Text by lcsbanana

One of my very favourite fanvids of, like, all time. Wherein Niki and Claire and Monica all get to be as awesome as they rightfully deserve, even if it does take some fiddling with canon. Because that's what fandom is all about, right?

Yes, I know. I'M REALLY GLAD THIS SHOW IS BACK, OKAY?

( Very random Heroes thought )

I'm not quite caught up with all my TV watching yet - now that Heroes and HIMYM are back, and with Chuck returning next week, I'm pretty sure I have as many shows to watch on Monday (well, Tuesday, here) as I do for the entire rest of the week. I may end up culling some of my shows as the season progresses, though, so we'll see.

( Stargate Atlantis )

( Gossip Girl )

( Heroes )

( How I Met Your Mother )

Everybody seems to have already posted theirs, and I keep looking at my calendar, thinking ... but there's still four days left in 2007, I can write fic in four days. Which I did. But now the year is officially over, so here is my end-of-year fic roundup post.

( When I am king )

Also: my shiny new header and icons, made just for me by azngal_icons!! I now have Ben and Claudia John and Aeryn on my livejournal, which is just so much awesome. <3 <3

Title: Girls Not In Bars (Girls In Bars Remix)
Fandom: Veronica Mars/Mean Girls/Angel/Gilmore Girls/Gossip Girl/Heroes
Character(s): Lamb, Karen, Cordelia, Lucy, Blair, Elle
Word Count: 1344
Rating: R

Summary: It's a line. "You look like someone I used to know," he'll say.

Notes: Remix of Girls Not In Bars, crossover edition.

( Number three is never say her name )
