I can't remember who did this on my flist but the idea is put your music player on random and play 10 songs that you write a drabble to for the duration of the song. I only managed 8 for Primeval as I was up late and did it on a whim. It's meant to be for a pairing but I found it more fun to do it for a fandom in general.

Spoilers: up to end of Season 2.
A/N: Betaread by the brilliant fififolle.

( Fics be hereCollapse )

Saw this around and decided it looked fun and not too much of a committment.

Name three fics you think I will never, ever, ever write. In return(and if inspired), I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them.

Work was good I think, I at least had things given to me to do but had less time at home tonight because we both walked in due to a bike puncture. I spent it online mostly, made a Sanctuary facebook group to pimp out the show, now that they have a 2 minute trailer online for all. Off to watch Ugly Betty before it gets too late for that kind of relaxing.

EDIT: Five still to be guessed, all the others have had at least one person get them right. Answers revealed when all have been gotten. Helpful hints, think outside things you know I watch and go a bit old school and non-scifi too. ;)

Taken from belisse. Following a read of this meta on lack of feedback I'm thinking I could do with pimping my gen/character stuff that I'm proud of (but get barely any comments on) about the place. I'm well enough known in the happy little SGA fandom niche of McKay/Weir but for any other fandoms or gen SGA stories, even straight main character angst/friendship things, seem to just sit about not getting much love. Hence I'm going to fill in this completely conceited meme in order to hopefully inspire people to read those fics that I adore myself.

( 5 fics memeCollapse )

That said, my 4400 in general I love to bits, loved writing and it's not a much loved fandom. I consistently had my betareaders being the only people who'd leave comments 90% of the time.

Also whilst doing this meme I found out that I have more than 100 fic posts, making the my fanfic tag a bit worthless since it wouldn't go back further than that. Hence now I'm leaving it for general talk of my fanfic and fics will be posted under for example the tag - my 4400 fic, my heroes fic or my sga fic etc. Should make it easier to find things within a fandom on my journal, though I really need to make myself a website to list everything on.

Time to tag people for the meme. I choose planetkiller, mari4212, wisdomeagle, tielan and lastly fanwoman, in the hope she'll start both using her LJ and getting her fic more out there.

Because I figured a) I want shiny new fandom flisters and b) I thought maybe existing SGesque people might like to make new friends (nudges blackydragon who's currently getting into SG-1 in particular) I did the SG friending meme.

And here I am a PIMPIN'G it. You go. You comment. You get some (more) likeminded friends.

I added meself, predictably forgetting a number of key other fandoms I love (apologies to BSG, Lost, Dexter, The X Files/Lone Gunmen and Farscape).

And in other, but sad, news - the gateship was lost. I'm currently cursing either GIMP for crashing or fuskyb's lack of RAM. Sure he saved the file but the program saved a corrupt version over the top when it crashed. Grrr. It was looking so fantastic, I nearly cried when I found out.

List seven songs you are into right now, no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

Puscifier (Underworld OST) - Rev 22:20
Elysian Fields - Lady in the Lake
Jimmy Eat World - Get It Faster
Placebo - My Sweet Prince
Korn - Freak on a leash (NIN Remix)
Kasabian - Cutt Off
Neophyte - Braincrackin

Unsurprisingly each has a vid idea to go with them.

I tag....twirls finger and points to- fififolle, million_moments, astropoet, toasteronfire, tielan, doylefan22 and sin_and_sparkle

One little compliment can make you feel amazing.

So give me a compliment, anything in the entire world, even that my shoelaces are pretty. Put this in your journal, so I can return the favor. And once you get some comments, put that entry in a memory or tag so that when you are feeling down, you can go to that entry for a quick pick-me-up and a smile.

Snurched from tielan

If you happen to be working on some creative writing project, fanfiction or NaNoWriMo or what have you, post exactly one sentence (or more) from each of your current work(s) in progress in your journal. It should probably be your favourite or most intriguing sentence so far, but what you choose is entirely your discretion. Mention the title (and genre) if you like, but don't mention anything else -- this is merely to what the general appetite for your forthcoming work(s).

( lots of lines behind the cutCollapse )

I have lots of in progress things, I doubt many will be ready soon but for some fun if anyone can guess what each is about based on the little sections...the first person to guess the fandom of each gets a 100 word drabble to their theme/pairing but each person only gets two guesses and I'll reveal the fandom after 6 incorrect guesses.

If you can guess the character pov/pairing as well then I'll write a 200 word one or if you only guess character after someone else guessed fandom you get a 100 word drabble. Same applies, 6 incorrect character guesses and I'll reveal. But I probably won't have this offer up long or else I'll be writing tons of drabbles. ;)
