shit kenzi says

Hearing about how LJ's servers are being moved to Russia has made me kind of nostalgic for the old girl. So when I saw this challenge I thought, heck, let's try this out, for old time's sake.

FYI this is the last post I'll be crossposting to LJ. I'll be archiving my old posts here on DW and I'll move any comms over to DW that aren't already here. This is pretty much what we feared when SUP took over all those years ago. Fuck you, Russia. Me and my queer ass don't have to put up with your shit.

Anyway, let's get to the challenge.

Day 1

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.

I'm going to go with three (or so) fanworks that define me as a creator. For funsies.

The Burn My Sins Away series (HP): I've never been a hardcore Harry Potter fan, but these two stories helped me express exactly what I needed to express when I was writing them.

The More Than Just a Pretty Face series (SPN): This is me to a tee. Why yes, of course if I'm into something that's all about dudes I'm going to write an entire series of stories focused on some actual women. Plus it has baby's first porn, so that's fun and exciting.

Undertow (Narnia): I love this story. Period. Queen Susan at the height of the Golden Age, doing her duty.

Ruination Day (SPN): I've only ever made two vids (I've always planned on making more, but we'll see) and this one's the best. I made it for a friend's fic and it turned out really well.

Title: Undertow
Fandom: Chronicles of Narnia
Rating: General
Disclaimer: No profit was made in the writing of this story.
Author's Note: Golden Age fic. This is what happens when you combine a book on Renaissance history, a random episode of The Tudors and too much Guy Gavriel Kay at an impressionable age. Book and movie compatible.
Summary: Freedom has its cost.

OMG you guys! Dawn Treader comes out THIS DECEMBER not NEXT SUMMER like I thought it did. OMG I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT!!!! I literally jumped up and down and clapped my hands in glee when I heard this.

In honor of this propitious discovery:

If you could have me write a Chronicles of Narnia fic, what would you have me write?

Other fic request posts, which are always open: [Star Trek][Supernatural]

I CAN HAZ A KIRK GLASS!

Yes, I am a dork who went to Burger King today with the sole purpose of buying a Star Trek glass. I plan on getting the Spock and Uhura glasses as well, but not the Nero one. He was fine, as villains go, but I don't really feel a need to own his glass.

Being a geek is awesome.

Which makes an excellent segue into the actual purpose of this post because OMG I wrote something else! This is for hiyacynth who requested lovely Lucy and Mr. Tumnus fic. I hope this suffices. =D

( What did she know about being a queen, after all? )

I have nothing to say about the latest wank that other people have not said. ( I lied, I totally have something to say;-) )

Aaaah, the joys of the internetz. Sometimes I wonder why I love them so when they drive me so crazy.

And I totally did not mean to post the whole screed. I got a little carried away. ;-)

What I really wanted to talk about was how wonderfully awesome Prince Caspian is. People, the Narnia movies make me so ridiculously happy. I can point at them and say, "Yes, see, that's how you adapt books. You keep the spirit of the story alive while telling a story that excells in a movie format." I saw it again last night and I cried and cried, mostly because for the 2+ hours that I was in the theater I felt as if I was in Narnia and when the credits rolled on the screen I had to leave, again.

I wish I had a coherent reaction to put up, I really do. Right now it pretty much consists of, 'OMG, that scene, and then the one after it, and then the one after that!' and 'I love you all so much I'm going to burst!' and 'AWESOME topped with AWESOME covered in AWESOME-sauce!'

So, yes, I highly approve. Oh boy, do I.

*happy sighs*

I've missed birthdays! And important birthdays, too! Happy belateds to abyssinia4077, shirebound, and belegcuthalion!!!! You are amazing women and I wish you each, individually, the best of possible years.

In other news, have been re-reading Prince Caspian in anticipation of the movie. Because of that I finally went over to IMDb to look at casting. OMG, you guys, Warwick Davis is playing Nikabrik and Peter Dinklage is Trumpkin and Eddie Izzard is Reepicheep! That is awesome casting. My movie anticipation is definitely growing.

Had a stunning revelation yesterday. It was that Dean Winchester is like Mr. Darcy, in a way. Cause just like you start falling for Mr. Darcy after seeing Pemberley, half the reason you love Dean is because of his car.

No, I'm not shallow at all. *snorts*

That totally reminds me, on of these days I have to put together my Top Ten Favorite Male and Female Characters lists. These lists will also include characters who I both love and hate (Josh Lyman, I'm looking in your direction). Course, lists require pictures and I so don't have all of the images I need. What?! Not everyone on the internetz is a pic collecter. Sorry.

Ever been reading a story and the author suddenly throws in a sex scene for no reason whatsoever? I hate when that happens. It's, just, stories have an inner logic and when a sexual situation is thrown in simply because the author is OTP it can go against that inner logic. I know it's revolutionary for fandom, and all, but not every story requires nookie. Sex can be powerful when used appropriately, but it's not always necessary. Come on, people, learn to write outside the box.

I hate it when I'm really enjoying a story and then things throw me out of the world the author was creating. This also happens when people use bad spanish. Apparently, I am picky. I know, I know, it's the complete opposite of a shock.

In sum, I need to stop procrastinating and get some worky work done.

Two mixes for the price of one.

( The Chronicles of Narnia )

( Supernatural )

Let me know if/when these links run out and I'll be happy to refresh them for you.

I HAVE NARNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!! *does goofy dance of JOY*

This is the perfect opportunity to discuss some Narnia related things that have been cycling around in my brain.

( The General Susan Theory )

( What Narnia Represents )

The Pup seems to think that there are more important things that I should be doing, namely giving him my undivided attention. He's awfully pushy, probably because I spoil him.

Oh yes, in more shallow news have decided to go no the cereal diet for a couple weeks, my jeans are just a little tighter then I would like them to be. In Narnia one needn't worry about things like uncomfortable jeans and diets. No wonder I've started knocking on the backs of closets again. ;-)

Another Narnia drabble.

( Queen Lucy the Valiant )

I planned, at one point, to write a whole Susan Pevensie opus about how she joined her siblings in the Great Hereafter, eventually. Problem is, I kinda ran out of steam so instead of an opus I offer a drabble.
