Anyone have any good Labyrinth recs? I made the mistake of browsing FFN.

*bleaches eyeballs*

I really need to start working again. I just keep coming up with these things.

Fluffy stuff is here.

Hey if anyone is down for listening to me and Zellie yammer, hit me up on AIM "Venusorbit1"

2. Orphans of Chaos by John C. Wright
So five teenagers are hanging around at a British orphanage/boarding school, being precocious snots. Except they aren't children and they're not orphans and the school is a prison and they are hostages in a multi-dimensional civil war between the Greek gods. Also, physics and spankings. This book could be terribly triggery for some, but fortunately not for me, or rather I wasn't skeeved enough by some of the strange cross-generational D/s overtones to put down a book narrated by a four-dimensional being who named herself after Amelia Earhart.

( This exerpt almost totally encapsulates why I enjoyed this book so much. )

Then about five pages later the narrator explains the fourth dimension and kind of doesn't stop for the rest of the book.

And this just made me laugh:

( Proteus is a dumbass. )

Anyway, I hope this series has a fandom because I'm almost through the second book and the prospect of Amelia boning her fake headmaster is growing ever dimmer. This must be rectified.

e: Forgot to add there is some disturbing homophobia in the second book. This is a wordvomit on the first book, not the second, but if you want to read, be aware of that before plunging in.

e2: I am also now on GoodReads.

Your result for The Fan Fiction Personality Test...

The True Fan

OOC is blasphemy, canon is everything.

Take The Fan Fiction Personality Test at OkCupid

Yeah, I'd say that's fairly accurate.

So yes I too shall umm...add mine to the collective list of pimping out that which has already been pimped out. Thanks to all those who reviewed this little ditty over on the forums. I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts on it.

Title: i am the shadow
Characters: Shitennou and Minako
Theme: FIcathon entry written the theme was song fic . The song I chose was Incubus by Recoil, which really is just a song that came out of nowhere and hit me over the head.
Warnings: Angst (lol) ( Read more... )

I SAID I WILL TALK ABOUT THE BOOKS I READ AND I'M GOING TO DO THAT.... NNNNNNNOW!

1. Ice by Sarah Beth Durst
I thought I'd start the year off with a good old Beauty and the Beast story, and got... not really a beauty and the beast story. I got half Beauty and the Beast and half Cupid and Psyche, but in actuality it's also a retelling of a scandanavian tale called East of the Sun, West of the Moon and idk, it's kind of a mess, sort of. The love story is rushed, the search for the missing husband is agony after agony, and Cassie is a modern teenager who has lived at an arctic research station her entire life, never getting friends her age, and then ends up pregnant at age eighteen. If this had been put into a historical or fantasy setting, this would not have chapped my ass so hard. But no, pregnant at eighteen. It turns out to be integral to the resolution of the plot, but still. I also never connected with any of the characters emotionally, so it was like watching a bunch of marionettes act out a story. Not the best ten bux I ever spent. edit: I would also, one day, like to read a Beauty and the Beast story that has the fucking cohones to keep the Beast a Beast at the end. Or even in the middle, and, you know, freaking deal with it.

edit2: APPARENTLY THIS BOOK IS ROSE DAUGHTER BY MCKINLEY WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS SOONER ARGH

Anyway. Currently reading The Children of Chaos, and am about a quarter of the way through. Only a minor quibble with it so far, but loving it otherwise.

Ten o'clock and I need to get my writing done for today. PEACE OUT. In case anyone missed it, I posted the first chapter of Underground. Here.

title: Sometimes It’s A Good Hurt
rating: PG-13
characters/pairings: Minako, Kunzite everyone with a focus on Minako/Kunzite.
summary: whoever said love was going to be easy, was reading the wrong book.
a/n: written for the ficathon over at the fourm, wher I have been woefully behind in catching up with. I'm almost positive everyone guessed my fic, I didn't do a great job at hiding my characters, did I? The title and theme taken from Incubus’ “Love Hurts”. Cliché, I know. Follows the Home Again time line.

Sometimes It's A Good Hurt

My fic for yuletide. I considered adding the original ending I didn't have time to write before the deadline, but in the end I got lazy. :P My recipient was happy with this version; that's good enough for me. :)

Title: A Tale of Two Suitors
Fandom: Futurama
Characters: Fry, Leela, Zapp
Rating: PG
Genre: Romance/Comedy
Setting: Post-canon, a few months after Into the Wild Green Yonder

Summary: Fry decides to propose to Leela, but when his best-laid plans go astray and Zapp Brannigan stumbles back into their lives, he'll be lucky enough to get another moment alone with her. Written for lozlan in the yuletide exchange.

( Strange news, everyone! )

Hehe, well I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a wonderful New Year's. I was going to set this up back in December but between finals and shopping and last minute work trying to get my next set of classes, it's been busy. Plus I figured everyone else is busy around December too. So now that Christmas and New Years are behind us, there should hopefully be more free time to get these nominations underway! September was pairings-a-day month, and there were lots of excellent pairing stories! Click here to go over them, you won't be disappointment :D

( So much to read, so many good stories, where the hell do I start?  )

 

Because conversation with V leads to crazy plot bunnies... Based off of a comment venusorbit1 made on my drabble, The Important Lessons in Life.
I'll give you a hint as to what it is about: Kunzite and Endymion's mother....

Here is the result of said plot bunny    Secrets of the Throne

Your new layout is up, and it is very pink! ^^; I also did this innovative thing where I made sure the layout looked good in Mozilla and IE, so hopefully all users will be satisfied with the new appearance of the site.

Please let me know what you think, and I hope you all participate lots during this month!

Banners for completed challenges and the July awards should be updated within the next few weeks.

Yep. I'm adding to the f-list spam of "Hey hey! Lookie! Look! Here's my Ficathon entry!" ;P

It's over here: http://galaxylily.livejournal.com/83687.html

I have one New Years Resolution and that is to write twenty minutes a day. Set my timer and go.

In other news, my brother-in-law is moving out of our house. He's moving in with his girlfriend. Who is eleven years older than he is. And who has an eighteen month old baby. But it's not her baby. It's her step-grandbaby. She stepped up to take care of her while her step-daughter is IN JAIL. Meanwhile, my brother-in-law is now acting as Dad. Which is incredibly odd since he is a) younger than us and b) was a professional poker player for quite a while and as such has been always trying to get back to Las Vegas and now... baby, I guess. Anyway, we all went to a Japanese steakhouse for the BiL's birthday and his girlfriend+baby came along. And you know when they light the oil on fire in the onion to make a volcano? That little baby reached right for him because OMG FIRE BAAAAAAAAD

It was very cute.

So. I am Schrodinger's auntie, I think. But I can't be sure.

Also I posted the first chapter of Underground and it's going to be an interesting ride.


Ramona Gutierrez was the angriest girl in all of post-War Chicago, and that suited her just fine...

Also Dragon Age is kicking my poor ass. FUCK YOU, FADE, FUCK YOU
