Big Brother LJ
Aug. 3rd, 2007 01:33 pmLJ is being Big Brother again... I have no words on how sad this makes me. I long for that fanish archive/journal. In any case, I'm mis_is_good at GJ. misanagi was taken there *glares at the person* so this is the new name thingy for GJ. If you are there friend me, drop me a line or something.
Anyway, the fiction icon I'm using is free for the taking and now I made an art one you can take too.
Any strikethrough related icons you want, just let me know and I'll make them for you.

fandom_countsIf you haven't done so yet, I encourage you to join. I did with all the journals I hold since LJ counts them too, so then I'll make them count for fandom.
Is this the right time to grumble about there already being another misanagi in GJ?

And because I'm curious, is there any happy fandom memory you would like to share? Pretty please?

RKRC Awards
Oct. 5th, 2005 11:04 pmA few days ago I got a mail telling me I was nominated to the Rurouni Kenshin Readers Choice Awards. I'm very honored and thankful to whoever nominated me but I declined. The fic nominated is an old one and filled with mistakes so it's not up to participate in any contests. Still, it feels good that it was nominated. I got a cute blinky and I'm posting it here.
If any of you are active in the RK fandom, click on the blinky and go to vote on the contest. I looked over the nominated fics but it seems that I've been out of the fandom for too long. I don't recognize more than 2 fics. However, it's good that the awards are being hosted again. It makes me all nostalgic.

10 fan-ish admittances of shame:
May. 22nd, 2005 05:06 pmBecause we all know I'm sheep.
1. I skip sex scenes. If I'm reading a story for the plot, I skip all the sex scenes. They bore me, so they have to have something especial for them to work for me. That's why I like fetish fics. It makes things more interesting. I love reading foreplay, but not the act itself. *shrugs* It’s the same when I write. I like writing foreplay, but the actual sex is really short or non existent in my fics... I'm sure that bothers some people but it just doesn't flow easy for me.
2. I want to turn almost every movie I see into a GW fusion. I plot; I make the necessary changes in my head for the story to work, think of the scenes, dialogue and ending, and never write them... well, except for one WIP...
3. I've developed the ability to spot capital Qs in fics. I find myself skimming and looking for that Q, hoping it will be followed with "uatre". So yeah, I skim fics to see if Quatre is in them, and if he's not, I probably won't read it. This applies to writers I don't know. If I already know and like a writer's work, this rule doesn't apply.
4. I like bad!Fic. Okay, so you already knew that but it was worth stating. :P
5. I'm an angst whore... I love to see characters go through difficult things, but I like them to overcome them too, so happy endings are very important, or at least hopeful ones.
6. I tell myself stories before I go to sleep, and sometimes I end up writing them.
7. When I read song fics, I skip the lyrics.
8. I don't read crossdresing, mpreg, or shota. It just doesn't appeal to me.
9. As Gina said, there are many TV shows, movies, anime and books that I adore, but that I would never see myself writing fics about.
10. I'm addicted to fics, especially GW Quatre-centric fics. That's why I go around stalking writers. I want more, and more, and more...

Book and drabble Memes
Apr. 22nd, 2005 01:38 amI'm a sheep, and besides, I like this meme. Still, I'm not sure if you'll get many of the quotes since some of my favorite books are in Spanish and maybe the authors aren't as known in other places. I have the Spanish quotes with English translation, so you can read them. Each book here represents a different part of my life, and I love them all very much.
( List of quotes )
____
I know I'm going to regret this but...
Every person on your f-list gets to request a drabble from you. In return, they have to post this in their journal and write a drabble for you. Post all fandoms you're willing to write for. Your friends can pick a relationship, a story arc, a missing scene, commentary! Or pretty much anything they want, unless the author has previously mentioned that they will not write it. They comment with what they want, and you write drabbles and post it in your LiveJournal.
They might take some time, but I'll write them.
Fandoms:
-Gundam Wing
-Rurouni Kenshin
Anything else, you are free to ask but there's a chance I'll say no (like if I haven't seen the show).

Taken from some people.
1. Comment with any ship from a fandom that you know I like, or at least have some knowledge about.
2. I will ramble for 100 words about aforementioned ship. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust, depending on what it is.
3. Put this on your LJ, if you are so inclined.

Okay, I'm about to go to my New Year's celebration, so I thought I would say good bye now.
I'm going to Cuba tomorrow morning so I'll be away for the next eight days. *hugs eveyone*
Happy New Year to all of you!!

1) Sally forth to Fanfiction.net. Gird thy loins. Plunge in.
2) Choose a book, movie, show, etc. you have never heard of (or, in a pinch, at least one you know nothing about aside from the name) that has at least ten fics listed.
3) Read only the first page of story summaries.
4) Using what you have learned from these summaries, describe what this book/movie/whatever is about. Be as silly as you like, but ONLY use whatever you just learned...
I thought I would pick an anime I've never seen, have no idea what's about but I have heard some of you talk about it. So, if you have seen it, you can laugh at my assumptions.
Full Metal Alchemist. (WARNING: Mmm... there might be spoilers in my description, but I'm not sure)
Edward (Ed for short) has a brother named Alphonse (Al for short) and they are the Elric brothers. I guess they want to become, or are masters in Alchemy, and use it for good or something. I think Ed dies at some point but he resurrects (or maybe that was just wishful thinking on the part of the author?). That could happen in episode 51, maybe?
There seems to be a war because there is an army involved and a Colonel Mustard (like the one on Clue) who appears to be on the brother's side but is a mayor pain in the ass.
Roy seems to get mentioned a lot with an exclamation point beside his name, so I assume he is the hyperactive type, and he drinks coffee, or at least has a coffee mug. Other characters include Rose, Winry, Hawkeye, and some personifications like Havoc, Furies and Envy.
I guess it's because of the alchemy but there seems to be a lot of crossovers with Harry Potter, or maybe that's just because everything in existence has to have a crossover with HP. *shrugs*

Meme and Help me?

"Trowa Barton, are you trying to imply that I'm some kind of tease?" I pretended to look offended.
* * *
Taking a step back from the ship, Heero stared at it as if it was cursed. "Inanimate things can't fly."
* * *
One thing kept repeating in his head over and over; 'stupid, Quatre Winner, you are a stupid.'
* * *
Wufei looked up at Sally and smiled. An invisible barrier that kept them apart had just broken, and he was glad.
* * *
"Could you possibly tell me why would you try to steal parts from the principal's car? I did not raise you to be a thief, Quatre. You are lucky she didn't report you and your friend to the police."
______
Help me?
I'm starting my thesis next semester and I need to start gathering research sources for that. I want to do it on "Paradise Lost" and study its references on the Bible. So, I was wondering if any of you know any books that might be helpful for the subject or could recommend a critical edition of the book? Since I need to order it from Amazon and shipment here cost more that the actual items I want to get all the books in just one package so if you could recommend anything I might want to buy it would be really useful. Thanks a lot in advance.
[Edit] I'll be kind of away for the next few days so forgive me if I owe you a mail or something. I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Fandoms I've written:
Rurouni Kenshin
Gundam Wing
Isn't it a terribly wide selection?
Feel free to ask for anything and if I've seen the show, I'll write it. Post a back up request with one of the other fandoms, just in case I can't write what you want.

Four little five little six little bunnies
