general opinions:

floranna tagged me on tumblr, that wretch, and since I don't tumblr, here goes on dreamwidth/livejournal.

Rules:

Rule 1: always post the rules
Rule 2: answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and make 10 new ones
Rule 3: tag 10 new people and link them
Rule 4: let them know you’ve tagged them

1. Your main fandom right now.

Avatar: the Last Airbender, but I've been reading a lot of Thor fics with Loki. I am ashamed of this.

2. Recommend three pieces of fantastic fan fiction.

I'm a sadist, so one of of these is a WIP. Sorry.

Avatar: the Last Airbender.:

Escapee by lizbee

So you're a traitor. Now what? AU from "The Boiling Rock" where Mai and Ty Lee escape with the others.

This fic is glorious! It's one of the best Mai fics ever written, and Lizbee knows just how to handle Mai's uncertainty, and coming to grips with what she has done, and the roiling storm of emotions just under her stoic surface.

Eight Principles of Yong by psocoptera

The pen is mightier than the sword, or how Zuko saves the day via the power of good penmanship.

Great characterization, wonderful world building, and Zuko being cool in a dweeby kind of way. Sweet, a little sad, and a wonderful idea for how Zuko may have won over the Fire Nation people.

The Psychic Neal 'Verse by sholio (the WIP)

"He's some kind of secret government experiment?" Peter and his team have been trying to catch the elusive con artist Neal Caffrey for years. But Peter's search for Neal leads him to something else: a startling revelation about Neal's true nature.

In this fic, Sholio proves she has creepy powers to reach into my subconcious and pull out all the secret horrors and put them on paper. She is a horrible person, and you need to reed this to be as miserable as I am. (it's good misery).

3. Have you read any of my fics? If you have, what did you think about them?

Fishing for complements, are we? I've read "Cell" and "In Silence." I liked In Silence better, because "Cell" involves Zuko death right around the corner, and my baby! And "In Silence is full of Hakoda and Zuko goodness.

4. Rain or snow?

Used to be, I would say rain, but I've been having terrible problems with mold allergies, and a good hard freeze really helps kill a lot of things off, so snow.

5. Blood or guts?

Blood. Blood doesn't have to mean major organ damage.

6. The Most Meaningful Song Ever (right now?)

Good thing you specified. It changes so often for me. "Get Out Alive" by Three Days Grace. I know nothing else about this band, at all. I found it by chance, and now I'm using it for a Mai and Ty Lee vid.

7. Food you don’t want to live without.

Tomatoes. I love them.

8. Your computer’s name.

Eugenides. My old iPod was named Irene.

9. The most understated book ever.

Understated? I'm not sure what you mean. Under-appreciated maybe? I'm not much of a fan of understated literature to to tell the truth. Understated is often code for written like a shopping list. As for under-appreciated, the Queen's Thief books by Megan Whalen Turner are way under-appreciated, and everyone needs to read them, now.

10. Movie people that should forget even exists.

I can't think of any. There was no movie called The Last Airbender, and M. Night Shyamalan certainly didn't direct it.

MY QUESTIONS!

1. Favorite place.
2. Favorite fanwork you made.
3. Classical novel you wish you never read.
4. First fandom.
5. Do you collect anything? If so, what?
6. Favorite book/movie/tv show/whatever you never managed to be fannish for.
7. Favorite season of the year
8. Mountains, or ocean?
9. Has there ever been a book/movie/tv show/whatever that was so bad you couldn't stop watching?
10. Ice cream, cake, or pie?

I choose:

chordatesrock,

ljwrites,

dungeonwriter,

lizbee,

sholio,

unjapanologist,

weirdlet,

beboots,

lavanyasix, and

jin_fenghuang

Okay, I promise I haven't been ignoring you, or trying to drag out the suspense. I've just been overwhelmed. Mom's still getting over pneumonia, and I'm in the middle of doing student teaching for the first time this semester. It's fun, but exhausting.

Anyway, the answers! Here are all of the ones that were not guessed:

2. Dr. Nora Barlow (the Leviathan series by Scott Westerfeld)
3. Tiana (the Princess and the Frog)
5. The Wizard Howl (Howl's Moving Castle and sequels by Diana Wynn Jones)
7. Eugenides (the Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner)

I didn't really expect anybody to guess 2, but I was astonished no one guessed 5, and also that anyone did guess 6 as Sabriel (yay!). Anyway, everybody should go out and read the Queen's Thief series, now. Your life is not complete until you do.

Also, I've been watching this video of Jason Brown ice skating at the US nationals to MC Hammer's "Cant Touch this" on repeat. It's about all my brain can handle: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyIfLB_MpA4

I didn't reveal the answers on Valentines day, because only four of the characters had been guessed. Now, a few days later, and we're at seven characters guessed! So, do you guys want me to give you a little more time and see if you can guess the rest, or would you like me to spill the beans?

I have a list of ten different characters from ten different fandoms, and no matter which way you mix them, there will be crack. I want you to give me two numbers from one to ten, and I will give you why the two characters who correspond to those numbers fell in love/are in a relationship/are sleeping together/slept together that one time while drunk. Then, I would really like it if you could reply with a guess as to who you picked. On the fourteenth, I will reveal what numbers go with what characters.

1. Mozzie (White Collar)

floranna
2. ???
3. Tiana (The Princess and the Frog)
4. Mai (Avatar: the Last Airbender) guessed by

chordatesrock
5. ???
6. Sabriel (The Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix) guessed by anonymous
7. ???
8. Alicia Florrick (The Good Wife) guessed by

floranna
9. Loki (I reserve the right to pick and choose my canons) guessed by

danatheleseus
10. Neville Longbottom (Harry Potter) guessed by

luunyscarlet

Things you know so far: 5 is not Tahno, and there are no Korra characters on this list. There is an A:tLA character, but it isn't Zuko. 8 is from a non-fantasy American prime time TV show. 2, 6, 7 and 5 all come from YA speculative fiction books that I have reviewed on this blog. 5 also stars in an anime movie with a wide American release. 6 has seven bells, and fights the dead and the people who raise the dead.

Clues:

7 and 10: Both these boys like to keep their light under a bushel. Also, a high strung young man like 7 could use a gardener like 10 to tend his fragile flower self.
2 and 9: As a woman of the biological sciences, 2 is absolutely fascinated by the many strange and varied creatures 9 manages to expel from his divine hoo-ha.
5 and 8: 8 has absolutely no problem with heartless men, in fact after what she's been through with her husband and former boss, you might say it's her type. 5 meanwhile, has never been able to resist no nonsense women, especially when they leave his hair care products alone.
6 and 7: 7 loves tall dark and terrifying women, which come to think of it, so do I, and it describes three of the five women on here. You might say they ring my bell. 6 likes her men smart. Very very smart. And give her a hand, she is used to dealing with royal petulance.
2 and 7: Let it never be said that 7 doesn't go for smart women, past all point of good sense, in fact. As for 2, he uh, stole her heart. Besides, there's nothing better to a woman like her than a guy who lives in a library. Unless he lived in a zoo. Or a bioengeneered airship.
1 and 8: Normally 1 doesn't like to get that close to governmental types, but he's made exceptions before for awesome women such as 8, and he's more convinced of the evil of government employees than of politicians anyway. And after all of the backroom deals she has seen, and the corruption and callousness of politicians, lawyers, and government officials, that hurts people and ruins lives, after all the ways she has learned to game the system, his conspiracy theories about fake moon landings seem charmingly naive.
6 and 3: 6 is just the perfect person to deal with 3's voodoo problem, and she's dealt with far worse things than a little ~~slime~~ mucus. Plus, as 6 knows, belles and bandoliers just go together.

So this blog has been a dreary place lately, hasn't it? But you know what, it's my birthday month, and I want to have some fun.

So what I want is for everybody to leave a fic rec, a gif set, a vid rec, an art rec, something, in the comments, and I'll respond with a rec of my own. Any and all of the fandoms I have written for are included.

A while back, I ran a drabble meme for the victims of the April 2011 tornadoes in Northern Alabama. Back then, $2.99 vgifts, the proceeds of which went to the relief effort. I would like to run something similar how, however, there is no such vgift. Instead, please send me screenshots of your receipts from the Red Cross. Three dollars buys you a 100 word drabble. Six dollars buys you either a 200 word drabble, or two 100 word drabbles, your choice. Nine dollars buys you a 300 word drabble, or a 200 word drabble, and a 100 word drabble, or three 100 word drabbles. And so on. I will write as many drabbles as you give money tot he Red Cross. There is no limit to how much you all can get me to write through this meme. I will write for Avatar: the Last Airbender/Legend of Korra, Harry Potter, or White Collar, and all of my previously established AUs are open.

How to make a request:

Comment here with a link to a screenshot of your donation receipt. and how much you donated.
Give me a breakdown of how you want your drabbles divided, including word length and prompt.
Requests should include the character or characters you want to see, any ships you want, and a one word prompt. If you want the story set in any of my established AUs, please make a note.

Example Request:

Receipt: http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af149/attackfishscales/flowerpots.gif (we'll all pretend that this isn't a gif of Zuko and Iroh hiding in flowerpots for this example, okay?) I donated $9.
Prompts: 200 words - Mai/Katara - Knives, and 100 words -Hufflepuff Zuko AU, Toph - justified.

Rules:

As ever, no Ty Zula, NC-17, incest, ships where one party is much older or younger than the other(s), rape, or other people's OCs

Come on, it hit an elementary school and a hospital. We've got to do something.

Stealing from all kinds of people on the

white_lotus members page.

Tell me about stories you think I should write. I mean, if you could sit me down for a day or whatever and say, "Ok, I want you to write this story for me," what would that story be?

I'm not actually promising to *write* any of these, mind you, but it's fun anyway. And who knows if I'll be inspired!

Ganked without attribution from people on other people's f-lists

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's Parker ...she likes money and cereal." I'd love it if everyone who's friended me did this. (Yes, even you people who I know really well.) Then post this in your own journal [only if you feel inclined]. In return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an answer*.

*Providing it's answerable/suitable for public posting.

Alright, I'm unwilling to let

avatar_500 go without a fight, so I am going to incentivize participation. Write and post a fic for Round 65 - Air, and I'll fill a drabble request of yours. Comment on all of the fics in the round (everybody said they wanted more comments), and at the end of the round, link me to all of the comments and I'll fill a request for you. Do both, and I will fulfill three requests for commentfic.

The rules for posting to

avatar_500 can be found here.

You don't have to belong to

avatar_500 or have ever participated in it before to earn a request for commenting, and if you do want to join to post a fic for the round, all you have to do is click the "join the community" button, and you're in, easy.

About which I will not write (so don't request):

Ty Zula
NC-17
Incest
Ships where one party is much older or younger than the other(s)
Rape
Other people's OCs

Other than that, everything is fair game.

The deadline to post fic is Saturday December 1st at 11:00 PM EST. The deadline to post comments is Saturday December 8th at 11:00 PM EST.

1. Tell you why I friended you. If I remember.
2. Associate you with something.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.

Also, I made a new Avatar: the Last Airbender icon! (take if you want, but give credit and tell me you took it)

No Ship War in Ba Sing Se

This looks like I can answer with my cell phone keyboard! (On a side note, please forgive my more numerous than usual spelling mistakes in this. I don't have spellcheck on my phone, and my spelling is lamentable at the best of times.)

Ganked from

sholio

Give me a character and I'll tell you a piece of my personal headcanon. Any fandom is welcome here, provided that I am reasonably familiar with it.

That's it, folks, I can't take it. In the hopes that maybe writing some of what I want to write will get me unblocked on the fic I'm trying to write, I'm giving in and running a commentfic meme for my Avatar!Zuko verse. Comment with up to five requests, and I’ll guarantee you at least one commentfic. I’ll probably answer with more, knowing me.

weirdlet ,

fanficforensics,

beboots, and

floranna get seven requests and a guarantee of two fics, because

beboots and

floranna are the best betas ever, and

weirdlet and

fanficforensics just because.

Also, the 'verse has a title now, Kindle the Wind!

Air, Water, Earth, Fire.

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished.

A hundred years passed and the new Avatar crashed into the ice sheet that borders our village. Although he is the Fire Nation prince, and it's his family and his nation that have brought this war to the world, I have hope that inside Zuko lies the spark of greatness. In the end, he has to save the world.

We're just over a day away from the deadline at

avatar_500 for prompt 49, Lake, and we have only one entry. So, to prove that I am not above using bribery, for anybody who writes and posts a fill for this round to the community before the deadline (Saturday, April 7, 10:00 PM, MDT), I will drabble up an answer to any one Avatar: the Last Airbender/Legend of Korra prompt they give me here at this post. This includes all of my existing AUs (excepting Ice Flows Through) as well as unrelated prompts. Or, I will make a 400x600 pixel banner for any Avatar: the Last Airbender/Legend of Korra fanfic (excepting NC-17) written by the requester that they ask me to. (Please provide a link). Furthermore, after the deadline, I will do the same thing for anybody who writes and posts to the community a fill for the next biweekly prompt, Return. And yes, that means if you post a fic for each, you get two requests.

A few rules-

No Ty Zula
No NC-17
No incest
No ships where one party is much older or younger than the other(s)
No rape

Information on posting can be found here.

I'm not asking for much, just 100 to 500 words. Good luck.

LAKE:

Piandao - Fanfare for

c3childs
Blind Sukka Spawn for

RETURN:

Kori/Ty Lee - The Kyoshi guard captures the naughty assassin for

Act of Providence - Avatar!Zuko AU for

Ganked from

dungeonwriter who ganked it from another:

To participate:

1. Leave a comment to this post, specifically saying that you would like a letter.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Post the names of five fictional characters whose names begin with that letter, and your thoughts on each. The characters can be from books, movies, or TV shows.

I got R.

1. Rebecca from the novel of the same name by Daphne du Maurier - This is one of the only books my mom and I actually both like. It amazes me how many different ways there are to interpret the titular dead character. Was she, as her husband says, a glossy, abusive tyrant, the victim of a clever liar who wanted a wife who was more easy to manipulate, the perfection obsessed plaything of Mrs. Danvers? I believe the first, knowing how well abusers of all genders fly under the rainbow, but all the novel gives us is Maxim’s word (much like most abuse cases, fittingly).

2. Roku from Avatar: the Last Airbender (and possibly Legend of Korra) - Roku is like Dumbledore if Dumbledore were completely incompetent at his job (great job preventing your best friend from becoming an evil overlord!) and gave really bad advice. Speaking of which, what’s Aang doing listening to the guy in The Promise? Bad Aang!

3. R2-D2 from Star Wars - You know, I probably watched the original trilogy for the first tie while I was still in the womb, and for the longest time growing up, I thought our favorite snarky droid was a rolling trash can.

4. Richard III as written by Shakespeare - we watched it in my tiny class full of sick people in high school, and all of the boys were absolutely in awe of him for winning over Lady Anne, while us girls were like “Oh please.”

5. Robin Hood from Robin McKinley’s The Outlaws of Sherwood - It fascinated me when I was younger the way that McKinley portrays the Robin of legend as a composite character with the outstanding skills of two people, the clever, angsty Robin who can lead everybody and keep roofs over their heads (mostly), and Marian, the one who can actually shoot a bow and has charisma.

I am the only Jew down in Jewville not hungover today, but I have to get in on the Purim fun somehow, so meme! Post the name of any character from any of my fandoms, including my OCs, and I will tell you how they got drunk, who they were with, and what they're doing about the inevitable fallout/pounding head of doom.

Meme closed.

In honor of February 14, the first fourteen people who leave a prompt here with a ship from any of my three fandoms (pairing, threesome, moresome) and a one word prompt, I will write a 140 word story for that pairing and prompt.

A few ground rules related to my personal squicks:

No incest
No ships where one party is much older or younger than the other(s)
No ships that include both Ty Lee and Azula

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/men in my fandoms, OTPs, ideal holiday destinations, goals for the future, celebrity crushes, books I wish would be made into movies, love songs, anything else you might want to know. And I will answer them all in comments/in a new entry.

The first five people to comment on this post get to request that I write a drabble/ficlet of any pairing/character of their choosing in either the Harry Potter, Avatar: the Last Airbender, or White Collar Fandoms, except Ty Zula. However, if you request in one of my established AUs, please keep to the parings in that universe. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. (sketch and drawble memes can be substituted for writing memes, though!)

If you want to play the meme but NOT repost and play on your own LJ, you can absolutely still make a request, but please make a note to that effect in your comment so that I can prioritize/encourage the folks playing along at home. And you know, request fics on their memes XD.

Leave a comment here (can be anything, including just the time of day), and I will reply with three reasons why I think you're great.

In return, you have to post this same meme on your blog.

Seriously folks, I'm trapped in my room with plastic over the windows and towels stuffed under the doors, hiding from the smoke from the Arizona fires. The internet is the only thing keeping me sane. Let me show you some love.

My sister, my brother, my brother's wife and kids, and my uncle and cousin all live in Huntsville Alabama, one of the hardest hit areas by the recent tornadoes. I don't yet know how they're doing, or even if they're doing. Livejournal is offering a vgift for $2.99 dollars, the proceeds of which go to the tornado disaster relief effort, and this weekend, I will write a 100 word drabble for anybody who buys one for me in any of my three fandoms. Two vgifts gets two drabbles, three gets three, etc. After you've sent me the vgift(s), leave a comment here with a character and a one word prompt for each vgift. Please please please help out here. I'm going crazy not knowing what's happened to my family.

ETA - My sister called, and everybody is alright! I may kill her myself, because she isn't staying with our brother on the mountain, where it's safer but... Cell service is back up, but electricity is down, so she's keeping her phone off to save batteries.

The meme is closed and finished.

Inspired by Doctor Who's "Turn Left:" Pick one of my stories and tell me a point in the tale that you'd change. Something tiny (e.g. "and then Harry told a knock knock joke instead of a light bulb joke") or big (e.g. "and then June found Koh's spine and ripped it out before he could crush her arm and steal her face") and I'll tell you how that one difference would have altered the course of the entire story.

Ganked from

avocado_love.

I think it would be fun to talk about stories, but the usual memes are like, "What happens next?" "Tell me about Character A?" Which isn't so much talking about stories as it is writing more of a story. But you know how sometimes you read something and you're like, "I got ___ out of this story, I wonder if I have that right?" or "What on earth was ____ supposed to be?" and it's too awkward to ask the author? Now you could totally ask!

I've heard people say that writing is hard because you have to make decisions, but we never really talk about the decisions we make with stories or why we make them. We talk about plot bunnies, but not about how we actually turn them into a story.

And it seems like a lot more fun to do that than to do working.

So, if you wanted, ask me questions! (Or use this to ask your flist to ask you questions).

What were you trying to do [here]? Why did you decide to ____? This is what I thought about xyz, is that what you were going for? What made you write ____? Why did you decide to do this? And so on.

No limit on questions or amount of questions; feel free to ask anything you want about anything I've written!

It’s my birth month, and to celebrate, I’m hosting a commentfic meme! I’m in the mood to write some AU fics, so that’s the theme of the meme. I’m open to both Avatar: the Last Airbender and Harry Potter requests, and I’m also taking requests in any of my existing AUs (Except Children of Mars), including the ones I established im my last commentfic meme, as well as new ones. Comment with up to five requests, and I’ll guarantee you at least one commentfic. I’ll probably answer with more, knowing me.

weirdlet ,

beboots , and

floranna get seven requests and a guarantee of two fics, because

beboots and

floranna are the best betas ever, and

weirdlet has a truly bizarre AU I inflicted on her rattling around in her head. Also, anyone who wants me to write anything from my AU of Sun Child needs to ask

weirdlet and

floranna , because it’s theirs.

*Closed and Finished*

Given that this meme has spawned a fair few universes, sorting the fics by requester would be clunky, so instead, I'm sorting them by universe this time.

So I just finished writing something so impossibly sweet that I swear all my teeth just rotted in my head from it. And since I have to write floranna's fic for

help_haiti (and her request is full of lovely angst) I need to get myself in a darker writing groove. To further this goal, I’m watching Criminal Minds, and I’m asking you guys to send me your darkest, most angst producing prompts for Avatar: The Last Airbender. Comment with up to five, and I’ll guarantee you at least one commentfic. I’ll probably answer with more, knowing me.

weirdlet and

floranna get seven requests and a guarantee of two fics, because I spawned a wild AU in

weirdlet ’s head, that she has been writing delightfully twisted installments for, and because I delayed writing

floranna’s promised fic to work on my novel.

Please no rape or sexually explicit requests. I’m a big believer that there needs to be more gen darkfic in fandom.

Meme Closed and Finished

Despite the fact that I asked for no requests involving rape or sexually explicit requests, my brain decided to take me there all on its own in two instances. I've done my best to warn as accurately as I can in both in a way that the warnings themselves are non-triggery. I'd also like to put up a blanket warning for violence.

Fics:
