Aug 13 - I'm currently alive, and currently posting PART 3 OF THE TIMEBOMB EPIC. :D Enjoyyyyy!!

Previous Updates:

Dec 24: Semester 1 of Year 3 nearly did me in. I'm here (ish) and had a big burst of feels immediately after seeing Rise of Skywalker, so fic happened. ;) Merry Christmas! I'm going back to my post-school coma...

Oct 3: I'm buried in Year 3 of Uni, and new fic will be few and far between. For now, here's my entry fro SPN Summergen back in the summer - just some chill friendship between Donna and Jody, called Five Times Jody & Donna Had Drinks After A Hunt. (In other news, Part 2 of the epic Avengers timebomb fic got finished in the sunmmer, thanks to WIP Bang!! \o/

Jul 22: Yes, I'm still alive!! University ate me again, and I expect it to once more come September. In the meantime, this summer is me using the WIP Bang challenge on LJ to get Part 2 of the timebomb fic finished for y'all - the last chapters of it's in the past we can make this leap will be coming at you fast and furious and fully written from now until Aug 5. And on the matter of Part 3: though I do have a significant chunk of it written, it likely will not go up until winter/spring, because University. I do not want to partially post and leave y'all hanging indefinitely like I did with Part 2, but know that I AM WORKING ON IT and it is not, nor will it ever be, abandoned. Hard promise.

ABOUT ME

I am a female between the age of 25 and 45.

I ramble in messages, I love messaging fellow readers/writers/fans. Feel free to drop me a line with comments, questions, hey's and hi's, whatever you fancy. :D I wax and wane between being madly obsessed and coolly enjoying fandoms. I keep scads of notebooks with half-finished things and ideas and notes in them. I can't even begin to explain to you the depth of my love for Lost.

If I read it, I WILL review it, regardless of how much I liked it or didn't like it. I don't necessarily expect the same from every single person, but I definitely would hope for it! I think it's a simple courtesy. The author took the time to write it and share it, I took the time to read it, so it's only fair I give them my thoughts on it, even if it's just one word. I try to leave helpful and specific reviews, but sometimes I just don't have much to say. Lastly, I very much appreciate concrit. If I have errors, typos, inconsistencies, grammar problems, characterization or logic problems - please point them out. I appreciate it immensely!! :)

Also, I read a pretty randomly wide range of fics. And I LOVE a good crossover. The more clever and conceivably canon, the better.

My early fics are embarrassingly bad. Seriously tho, you've been warned.

THESE ARE (JUST) A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

Some Movies: Princess Bride, Avengers/MCU, Inception, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, Disney/Pixar, Star Trek (2009), Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, The Man from UNCLE...

Some Shows: Lost, Supernatural, Agent Carter, Survivor, Pushing Daisies, Jane the Virgin, Umbrella Academy, Happy Endings, Firefly, Chuck, Fringe, Better Off Ted, Doom Patrol...

Some Books: Harry Potter, Pendragon series, Hunger Games, Lunar Chronicles, Gentlemen Bastards, Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom, A Handful of Time, The Mortal Instruments...

Some Ships:
(Oh SO many. I've become SUCH a multi-shipper. I ship a million ships - including rare pairs and AU ships. I used to have almost all of them listed here but it was too much. I narrowed it down to some of some favs.)

Doctor Who: Nine/Rose, Ten/Rose

Lost: Sawyer/Juliet

Avengers/MCU: Natasha/Clint (but pretty well any het combination you can think of in this fandom, I'll probably read it)

Grey's Anatomy: George/Izzie (OTP forever)

Supernatural: Dean/Bela, Dean/Jo

Reviews are like oxygen.

Writing Quotes

"Please, understand, sometimes I can't choose what I work on. I can't follow through on a line of thinking just because I want to, or, or because it's needed. I have to work on what's in my head. And right now, this is what's in my head." -Charlie Eppes, Numb3rs

"I love writing but I hate starting. The page is awfully white and it says: 'You may have fooled some of the people some of the time but those days are over, giftless. I'm not your agent and I'm not your mommy, I'm a white piece of paper, you wanna dance with me?' And I really, really don't. I don't want any trouble. I'll go peaceable-like." -Aaron Sorkin

"I have tried simply to write the best I can. Sometimes I have good luck and write better than I can." -Ernest Hemingway

"Writing isn't everything, but it's right up there with oxygen." -Unknown

(from phoenixchild)

"Many suffer from the incurable disease of writing, and it becomes chronic in their sick minds." - Juvenal

(from SpaceAnJL)

"If you did not write every day, the poisons would accumulate and you would begin to die, or act crazy, or both - you must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you." -Ray Bradbury

"Don't get it right, get it written." -James Thurber

"What no [partner] of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he's staring out of the window." -Robert Andrews

"Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader. Not the fact that it is raining, but the feeling of being rained upon." -E.L. Doctorow

"The writer is both a sadist and a masochist. We create people we love and then we torture them. The more we love them, and the more we torture them along the lines of their greatest vulnerability and fear, the better the story." -Janet Fitch

"The thing that non-writers do not understand is that even if the idea hurts us, we have to get it out, we must write it. The voices in our head will not shut up until we do." -Unknown

Ok, finally! You are at the bottom, you scurvy dogs! Arrrr...!
