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

I haven't updated in so long, except to post exchange letters and whatnot. So ... I'm still alive? Busy, ugh, but working, yay, and I should find out any day now if I still have a job for next year. Being on contract sucks.

Things I've been doing lately: Reading comics. Watching cartoons (in other words, I finally caught up with Young Justice COME TALK TO ME ABOUT THE [SPOILER] CAMEO IN THE LAST EPISODE). Not writing anything at all ever. Watching the rest of The Nine Lives of Chloe King - I'm up to the last episode and so not ready for it to end, why does TV always cancel everything good? I love it so much though, P.S. COLTON HAYNES WAS IN THIS ONE EPISODE SO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE INTO THAT AT ALL SHOULD TOTALLY WATCH THIS SHOW, IT'S ONLY TEN EPISODES LONG YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. Also the guy who plays Isaac, but I care less about him.

Related: Colton Haynes is leaving Teen Wolf??? I know I never ever post about it here, but I love the crap out of that stupid show, and Lydia is totally my favourite (and then Scott, why don't people love Scott? He's so faily and adorable) but somehow I have ALL THE FEELINGS about Jackson, I just want them to be improbably OTP forever and ugh, still totally sad about this even though it hasn't been news in forever.

I didn't originally offer The Mindy Project for Yuletide because I'm honestly not sure how much I like the show yet (but it's Mindy so I'll keep watching forever regardless, and the episodes have been getting a lot better, so), but apparently I really want to write fic for it? I kept reading people's letters and getting really excited by Mindy Project requests, so then I just bit the bullet and offered it officially. Apparently it is my destiny to ship Mindy hard with short dark-haired guys who don't want to be in love with her but secretly totally are on shows I'm actually not all that into otherwise FOREVER. That's ... a weirdly specific type, whatever.

... I think that's pretty much it? There is probably more, but I'm only off work for a couple of hours (I have a half day today) before I have to go back in for a meeting, I could have just stayed but I'm not feeling great plus I really wanted to have lunch at home. TELL ME EXCITING THINGS! Or an ever greater number of really boring things, whatever.

Dear festividder,

Thank you so much for making a vid for me, I'm sure it will be amazing. If you already have an idea in mind - go with it! I would really love any kind of vid in any of these fandoms, so don't let any of my requests restrict you - they're there to be helpful if you want them and ignored if you don't. (And if you do find requests useful: I tend to go on a bit, so, yay?)

Things I love: Ensemble vids. character studies. Fun shippy vids. Vids that highlight some of my favourite things about the source. Vids that point out something I never noticed in the source. Vids that give me chills. Vids that make me cry. Vids that make me laugh. Vids that make me clap my hands in glee. Vids that use music I love, and music that's completely new to me, and music that obviously goes with that source, and that I never would have through to pair with the source but works surprisingly well. Basically - I really love vids.

Things I don't love is a much shorter list - basically, total AUs with really complicated storylines and slow, sappy romantic vids with too many effects and not enough movement. But really, what I want most is for you to have fun with this, so: Do what makes you happy, and I'm sure I'll love the finished product! And in case you aren't sick of me yet, my requests are under the cut, along with a few more details.

Fandoms: Avalon High, Better Off Ted, Dragon Wars: D-War, Make It or Break It, The Nine Lives of Chloe King, Rookie Blue, Starship Troopers, and Wizards of Waverly Place.

( All I want for Festivids ... )

I also have a vid recs tag, if that interests you at all, or you can check my tags for more about some of the fandoms I requested. Or you can ignore everything I've said and make whatever you want :)
