| Ficlet: "Twice as Nice" (Kirk/McCoy/Spock, entirely NC17) |
[Nov. 30th, 2009|11:30 pm] |
Fic for exchange: making me seriously crazy with just the very last little bit of it resisting like I'm asking it to give me all its candy and it's a two-year-old with a sugar fetish and a high degree of fondness for the word no.
Rar.
However, here, let me give you a ficlet from the kink meme from a few days ago. :D
Title: Twice as Nice
Words: ~675
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy/Spock
Warnings: none, I think.
A/N: For this prompt (Kirk/McCoy/Spock DP, bottom McCoy making whimpering sounds). As you might find unsurprising for a kink meme fill, this is straight-up porn.
( Twice as Nice )

| November blogging: Day 30 |
[Nov. 30th, 2009|11:00 am] |
Wow, I made it! I posted every day this month! I'm shocked, frankly, given how November exploded in unexpected ways, but I think it was good for me. If nothing else, it helped me break out of my non-posting rut, so while I may not continue posting every day, I think I'll post more than I have been prior to this month.
Random things:
- Snupin Santa begins posting tomorrow! I probably am going to stay up until midnight and post the first gift then, because I'll be up until 11:00 watching Castle anyway, so I might as well stay up an extra hour to launch the fest. PS: I <3 Castle and Nathan Fillion so freakin' much.
- Over the weekend, I discovered a new iPhone trick, which I didn't know about before. If I tap on a phone # in the browser, email, or notes, the phone will dial it. Excellent!
- My downstairs neighbor moved out over the weekend! I hope whoever moves in next doesn't play music loud enough to make my furniture vibrate.
I've seen people on my flist talking about which fests they're in and which ones they're following. I'm in four - Snupin Santa, HP Yule Balls, Yuletide, and Snapely Holidays - and I'll be keeping up with those, along with Harry Holidays and Kinky Kristmas. This isn't to say I'll be reading everything that's posted for all of those! Sorry, but no. There are certain pairings, genres, and kinks that I simply won't look at, which helps narrow the field. Time and energy permitting, I'm planning to branch out and try different pairings and to read Yuletide stories in the fandoms I'm most interested in, and I do plan to rec as well. We'll see how far my good intentions take me!

| EXTRA LONG: Light as Iron, Singed as Pearl (H/D, NC-17) |
[Nov. 30th, 2009|08:29 am] |
Title: Light as Iron, Singed as Pearl
Author: ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) snegurochka_lee
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~13,800
Warnings: Dom/sub. Bondage. EWE.
Summary: The owner of the elite BDSM club M. had not gained his reputation as the most coveted Dominant on the scene by taking on just any riff-raff submissive who asked. It would take an unexpected letter to convince him to accept a new client, but it might turn out to be the biggest mistake he ever made.
Notes: Written for hd_career_fair last month for this prompt. "Thank you" does not begin to cover my gratitude to the divine marguerite_26, whose handholding, beta work and modly prodding went well beyond the call of duty.

Title: Echoes of the Past, I
Challenges: the other pairing (Snape/Evan Rosier) ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) snape100, "the seasons always change and life will find a way" lupin100
Word Count: 100
Note: this is part of the conclusion to the de-aged Snape plot begun a couple of weeks ago. He is in his twenties and has regained most of his memories.
Audrey Prince was a sensible woman. Once she had been otherwise, and it had cost her first only child, and then her only grandchild. Now she had a second chance, and she had vowed to do a better job with the small, bewildered boy that had her Eileen's eyes and hair.
She had drive his first self away when she had caught him buggering Evan Rosier twenty years ago. But if she had learned one thing, it was that the seasons always change and life will find a way. If keeping Severus meant accepting the werewolf, accept him she would. |

[Nov. 29th, 2009|12:10 pm] |
I've finally updated Takes the Cake with another chapter! Between grading, other work stuff, Snupin Santa, and preparing for the memorial service, I've had little free time in which I haven't felt totally exhausted and brain-dead, so the editing process on this story has ground to a screeching halt. I've been working on it as I can, though, so it shouldn't be too much longer before the remainder is up.
Before anyone can pipe up to complain about posting WsIP in the first place:
1) the story isn't a WIP; it's complete. It just hasn't been edited.
2) I thought I'd be finished long before now! Normally, I either edit and post our collaborations all at one go or I edit quickly and post as I finish editing, which takes a matter of days at the most with a steady stream of updates along the way. Because of RL, things didn't work out that way, which happens.
All I can say is, it's not our usual pattern to string things out this long without regular updates, which I hope our readers realize.
Anyway, must zoom. I've got to get dressed and run out the door, but I wanted to post right quick first since I'm not sure when I'll get home tonight, and I didn't want to break my November Blogging streak this close to the end!

[Nov. 28th, 2009|09:12 pm] |
The holiday fest season is almost upon us, and along with it is the eternal question: "How do I give feedback on fest gifts?"
The answer is, there is no right or wrong way. The exception to that statement is when the fest in question has specific rules about feedback. The standard rule most fests have is "no flaming", which I think is a rule we can all get behind for obvious reasons.
"No con crit" is another rule I've seen popping up in fest rules lately, but I know that issue isn't as clear-cut as the flaming issue. Some people say gifts shouldn't be criticized while others say just because it's a gift doesn't mean it's exempt from critique. I don't really want to get into the pro/anti concrit argument, so we'll leave it at that.
So, yeah, as long as you're following the rules of the fest, there's not really a right or wrong way to give feedback. Now, that isn't to say that people won't complain or react negatively in other ways. For example, there are a few authors/artists who disdain squeeful comments and lament the lack of lengthy, "meaty" commentary, but they are in the distinct minority. The vast majority of authors/artists love feedback in any form they can get it, and "OMG that was awesome!!!" is just as welcomed as a 2 page treatise.
I think that more than any other time, fests - especially holiday fests - are a time to celebrate the joy of giving and to share in the pleasure of receiving. It's a time to be happy for the gifts being shared, not just with the recipient, but with everyone. Yes, that story/art was created for someone specific, but the rest of us are getting to enjoy it too, and I think that's part of the collaborative fun that fests generate. They give all of us more of what we want most, and I think we ought to express our thanks for that with a simple, "I enjoyed that. Thanks!" comment. It'll make that author/artist's holidays a little brighter.
With that in mind, I hope people will take the time to leave a comment on the gifts they enjoy in whichever fests they follow, especially people who are inclined to lurk the rest of the year. Fest authors/artists have been waiting for weeks, perhaps even months for their work to debut, so any feedback is a gift to them in return. As long as your response expresses your enjoyment, then there's no wrong way of expressing it. There's no such thing as too short or too simple, and you don't need a degree in English to leave good feedback. All you really need is enthusiasm!
For myself, I intend to do more reccing and commenting in December once things calm down at work and in RL, and I intend to continue into the new year, especially since I'm going to rec at crack-broom again in January!

Here's a piece of advice for anyone who is participating in any kind of LJ/IJ/DW based fest at any time of the year: when you email the mods, include your journal user ID, especially if your user ID isn't the same as your email address.
If your email address is the same as your journal ID, it makes things a little easier, but it would still be nice to include your ID nonetheless.
Here's the thing. Unless you communicate via email with the mods outside of the fest enough that it's reasonable to assume they know to associate that email address with you, chances are the mods will have no clue who's emailing them and will have to take the extra step of consulting a spreadsheet in order to figure it out.
When a fest mod is juggling 30+, 40+, 50+, or more fest participants, they are not going to remember who everyone is. They might not know you, they might not interact with you outside of the fest, or they might not remember. There are people who have participated in Snupin Santa just about every year, and I still wouldn't know them from an email address alone, much less know all the new people who rotate in and out each year.
So if a fest mod asks you to include your user ID and/or the name of your recipient in your emails, please try to remember to do it. It's not just a busy-work request; it can save the mod a little extra time (and let's be honest: a little extra irritation) if they know who they're dealing with straight-away instead of having to look it up. Trust me, trawling through a spreadsheet and looking for one person's email address out of 50-60 (or more) names is a pain in the ass.

| Ficlet: "The Needs of the Revolted" (Sarek/OFC, NC17) |
[Nov. 26th, 2009|10:56 pm] |
Title: The Needs of the Revolted
Pairing: Sarek/OFC
Rating: NC17
Words: ~800
Warning: dubious consent
Summary: The kink meme prompt was for Sarek to get tired of his people talking smack about Amanda and Vulcanishly telling them to stick it. However, as it was on the kink meme, there is sex.
A/N: I have fooled with this a bit more (largely for clarity) since posting it over there last night while I was taking a break from the more substantial fic that is currently taunting me. |

[Nov. 26th, 2009|07:10 pm] |
I appreciate your industrious hacking away at the (somewhat-past-)due fic, but some of these errors of logic and departures from expectation as you go along are a bit ridiculous.
For instance, "building" and "bukkake" (of which there is none expected in this fic) are really quite not at all the same thing, and are not interchangeable.
Pls to type what (and only what) the brain says now.
Thx,
Me.

| Further Thanksgiving Festivities |
[Nov. 26th, 2009|09:50 pm] |
It's the Pilgrim's Bounty holiday in Azeroth, with food-related daily quests and themed garments offered as a reward for fulfilling the quests.
Why, yes, as a matter of fact I do bring my penchant for cross-dressing to Warcraft.
( My Blood Elf Death Knight in a dress: )
I did get a turkey caller as a quest reward, which I assume lets you summon a turkey to kill in order to help you make the required turkey meals for one of the quests. However, when you summon the turkey, it arrives with a great big heart over its head, which promptly shatters when it realizes you aren't a prospect turkey paramour, and it's labeled "lonely turkey". I couldn't kill a lonely turkey! I just let it wander free and haven't used the turkey caller again because I felt so guilty.

Note: this is part of the conclusion to the de-aged Snape plot begun a couple of weeks ago. He is in his twenties and has regained most of his memories.
Audrey Prince led them to a spacious parlor. She vanished a stack of political flyers from the table, took a seat beneath an old lithograph of the statue of Meryatum at Abu Simbel, and tapped her cane for tea.
Severus accepted a steaming cup of tea. "You're looking well, Gran."
"As are you," said Madam Prince. "Considerably older than when you left for school, but well."
"It came on - gradually," said Remus. He paused. "Strong memories triggered growth. Today - "
"I know what happened today." Her gaze was unreadable. "Perhaps you'd care to tell me what happens next?" |

I thought it might be helpful for my fellow Snape/Lupin shippers who are in the mood for some new holiday RL/SS icons if I did a comprehensive round-up of where to find them.
Fan Art Based:
Happy holidays - bluecage
art by aleoninc, colored by innerslytherin
art by aleoninc, colored by almost-clara
art by aleoninc, colored by isildurs-babe
Animated art by karasu-hime, icon by whitestar
Photo Manips:
Animated with Rickman and Thewlis, by beaded-thistle
Animated with Rickman and Thewlis, by isildurs-babe. Some of these are racy.
Animated, by captain-tulip
And I asked about the icon that matches the following icon on lupin-snape, but no one responded, so I'll try my flist:
 - made by kaleidoskope in 2006. There's a matching icon with Paul McGann as Remus in a Santa hat. Does anyone have it? If I snagged it at the time, I've lost it, and I'd love to have it.

A door opened while Severus named the politicians whose photographs adorned the walls. The Princes had a long history of involvement in politics, and Remus was not surprised to learn that Eileen Prince had met her husband during work on a campaign to deal with an infestation of bundimuns in Muggle buildings in an obscure Eastern European village.
"Severus?" A tall woman gripped an ornately carved cane. "My goodness. The Black girls owled me with the news."
"Gran." Severus' fingers dug into Remus' palm. "This is Remus Lupin. My - "
"We'll discuss this over tea," said Audrey Prince. |

Watching this video review of New Moon made me laugh and forget how much I want to kill certain fest participants with my brain right now.
Caveat: It's not a flattering review, more like a "It's funny because it's true" review, so if you're a die-hard Twilight fan, you might want to give it a miss.
On the subject of Twilight and vampires: elsewhere on the internet, a RL acquaintance of mine wrote about how Christians ought to be careful about reading/viewing the Twilight saga because vampires are false idols who offer a dangerous brand of immortality. That's not a discussion I care to touch, but he mentioned Coppola's film version of Dracula as another example, which got me thinking about some things that we talked about in my lit course this semester when we discussed Dracula.
The interesting thing to me is that Stoker wrote Dracula as a pretty clear-cut tale of Good vs. Evil, God vs. the Devil. He draws the characters in broad, black and white strokes, and the Christian references and symbolism are everywhere throughout the book.
( My tl;dr thoughts about the evolution of vampires in 20th/21st century pop culture ) |

Teddy was safely tucked in for a nap when they Disapparated in front of Prince Hall. The front door opened as they reached the top step.
"Master Severus! You is here!" An elf, neatly dressed in a pillow slip embroidered with the Prince arms, clapped her hands together in delight. "Mistress is in the library! I is getting her!"
They waited as the elf disappeared. Portraits, both moving and still, filled the entry way. Remus peered at one that seemed vaguely familiar.
"Grover Cleveland?" he asked.
"One of Gran's uncles was the Wizarding attache to his adminstration," said Severus. |
