5. Add meme perpetuation line, etc.

I got questions from threewalls.

( Mostly about writing, but also about some of my favorite characters~ )

Let me know if you want questions!

Three for springkink:

I mess with poor Yohji:

Release

and

Caught In the Act

and I wrote Naruto!

Twelve Easy Steps, Kakashi/Iruka, from maybe my favorite prompt of the whole round.

On to Remix!

The Jena 6 are free. Finally.

Found via willow on dreamwidth.

And I still plan on writing this for saiyuki_time myself, but I don't think anyone will write a better fic for the challenge "Gojyo tops Hakkai" than this one. (Feel free to prove me wrong, y'all. If you can.

I keep forgetting to link this enormously good Weiss Kreuz steampunk AU. You don't have to know the canon, I promise!

The figure turned, revealing its face to be obscured by both a muslin cloth tied about the nose and mouth, and thick goggles covering the eyes. With a dismissive wave of one black-gloved hand, it turned back to the machine, made a few, final adjustments, then turned and strode to where Schuldig stood, pulling down the cloth and taking off the goggles as it did so, revealing the filthy and perspiration-drenched face of a Japanese youth.

"What?" Nagi inquired peremptorily. "I'm working."

"Well, stop offending God and nature for half an hour. It's time for dinner."

See? Eat up, it's tasty.

daegaer wrote me a sequel, too. Squee!

Posting about how much you don't care about something fools no one.

Defending yourself or your friends on fandom_wank et al is usually pointless but provides us with endless entertainment.

The problem with a movie about an emotionless society is that the people are really, really dull at first.

Christian Bale is really hot.

On another note, goodbye Michael. I remember when you were sweet, and quiet, and so talented it was impossible to believe you were real sometimes. I remember when everyone wanted to be you or have you, and when your face was beautiful. I hope the worst of the rumors weren't true. I'm so sorry it ended like this.

Go read this Star Trek reboot fic. It is total damn win.

I wrote two drabbles for remixthedrabble, so now the reveal is complete, I can thank b_hallward again and show off my fics:

Four Horses, Seven Seals (the Pale Horse remix), Hellsing, for sabinelagrande. Much love to rosehiptea for the beta.

The Best Cockroach Is a Drunk Cockroach (the Get on With It Already remix), Saiyuki, for veleda_k. Love to lindentreeisle for that beta.

And last but not least, I wrote Tsuzuki/Hisoka at springkink: Sense of Purpose.

Only...three more left to go, and then on to ship_manifesto and kink_bingo. And the ship_manifesto I had to reschedule. Kill me now.

I have a meme to do. I think I'll do it tomorrow.

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Yeah, yeah. And a new one from meganbmoore!

List 10 (or however many) platonic male/female relationships in fiction that you enjoy. My attempt at rules:

1. They interact in canon, preferably in a significant (apply your own interpretation of such) way.
2. They are not related. They can, however, view each other as surrogate family.
3. Neither has confessed or implied romantic love for the other in canon.
4. They have not dated, been married, had sex, or made out in canon, on purpose, and over their own free will.
5. A popular fanon ship is ok (though preferably not your ship) but a canon pairing you wish were just friends is out.
6. Try to avoid using the same character or series twice. 
7. They don’t have to be friends.


I am also trying to avoid 'will they/won't they' ships.

These are not in any particular order, aside from #1.

1. Modesty Blaise and Willie Garvin, Modesty Blaise books and comics. NUMBER ONE WITH A BULLET. The saddest story in the world is that there's actually a Modesty movie out there with Terrence Stamp-- Terrence Stamp, people! as Willie...and it sucks. THERE IS NO JUSTICE.

( The rest of the list )

Edited because HTML can suck it.

There will be a meme later.

Just a general note: I find myself running low on silverware when it comes to matters of anti-racism/anti-sexism/anti-ablism/anti-oppression. This does not mean I will stop reading entries! I may just be a bit quiet.

New fic!

Written for springkink:

Observer, Race/Doc Quest, Jonny Quest

Push a Little Harder, Conrad/Yozak, KKM

Mama Says There'll Be Days Like This, Yozak/Gwendal, KKM

I seem to have not linked my last saiyuki_time fics, so here they are: The tale of the dragon, all-dialogue, and A time for silence, no dialogue.

Go and read!

Be sure to check out remixthedrabble. All the fics are only 100 words, so check out the ones in your fandoms! There's RPF, and bookfic, and anime, and Joss Whedon.

Someone remixed my fic Here, and it's completely wonderful. I myself wrote two drabbles, but it's a sekret for right now.

Cereta's excellent post, about, in part, how the culture makes sure women learn, a thousand times over, What To Do about Rape, but no one talks to the men about this.

Some particularly valuable subthreads:

Ways to Help People Out without being stupid.

Some thoughts from a teacher who points out that men don't generally have the 'freeze' response. Pretty interesting stuff.

A great example of how guys can sometimes Not Get It.

rachelmanija's response, which is also really excellent. Anyone who says 'Rachel just doesn't hang out with the Right Kind Of Men'-- which has been said-- is welcome to kiss my ass and meet my banhammer. (And if Rachel's around that many Bad Men, then maybe the culture's a bit more pervasive than you think, asshole.)

And a kickass post on rape culture.

There aren't many guys on this flist, but I think I trust you all to be Nice Guys, and thank you for that.

inarticulate and karayan clued me into This guy's amazing Flickr photostream. Mostly old glass slides of Japanese culture, and just AMAZING and mostly not at all what you'd expect.

If you're not reading this lovely original fic about dragons, you should be.

Last but not least, it's Remix time! My victimremixee is suitably awesome and intimidating. I AM PLEASED.

( A note to my remixer )

Approach the First!

One: Make some misguided comments in an utterly brilliant post about men and rape culture.

Two: Keep digging.

Three (optional): Post about the hole in your journal. If you're lucky, your friends will come around and tell you you did nothing wrong!

Four: Find reasons to blame the people who are still at ground level. (I do not recommend reading the comments.)

Who knew it was so easy!?

Approach the Second

Step one: Have a bad beta experience.

Step two (you have to get lucky here): Wait until the person you tried to beta posts about her frustration and self-doubt.

Step three: Decide, even though you were not actually named, decide that the post is actually a personal attack on you. Send forth your Internet hordes to defend your blemished honor!

Details here and here.

This post is unlocked, but I don't expect any wank to start, because who reads me other than people I already know? If it does, I has a banhammer and the ability to freeze comments with that nifty ice cube. Be respectful, don't expect me to change my mind about your shitty friend, blah, blah, blah. Comments are consolidated on LJ because I'm feeling deviant today. Plus, most of my friends are still on LJ. Use your OpenID, Dreamwidth users!

You should check out cereta's post anyway. It's good stuff. I want to post on it separately at some point.

Posted my fic to springkink.

Realized my date was June 11.

YOU SAW NOTHING.

2nd Asian Women Carnival. Listen and learn!

And now for something completely different. I love a good flashmob.

Does anyone still need a Dreamwidth code? I have at least a couple.

ETA: America's Best Christian schools us on Biblical Marriage (parody).

Poll #1413614 CROWNING MOMENT OF AWESOME
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

Best moment in the CGI Ninja Turtles movie?

Notice there is no "I haven't watched this movie" option. GO WATCH THE MOVIE.

Has it ever been established whether or not half-Mazoku kids can father kids?

God, I never get sick of this icon.

1. Okay, for those of you not in the know: Gaiden is ending, as planned. It is going to be replaced with the ADVENTURES OF YOUNG KOUMYOU. No, really.

There's not enough squee in the world.

2. More importantly, please spread the word and contact your political representatives about protecting blind people's access to written material. There's a big treaty negotiation going on, and Americans are on the wrong fucking side of it, among others. Please check it out-- this applies to a lot of people, all over the world.

3. It really scares me that sometimes I look at TMNT fandom and think 'needs more het.' I NEVER SAY THIS.

4. I watched Green Hornet earlier tonight, for the same reasons anyone does (Bruce Lee), and every time the Hornet screwed up, I found myself thinking, 'you should've sent Kato in.'

5. On Cartoon Network, Bleach is finally a) out of filler and b) up to Grimmjow! Whee!

6. Regarding latest Saiyuki Reload raws: HOLY SHIT I LOVE MINEKURA. Not that you didn't already know that. I just needed to say it again.

Moar Post-It/Ran-verse! This time we have Ken! Yay Ken!

So much love to emungere for betaing.

( Damage Control )

Full index of the rest of the series here.

Placement of potential space colonies, from NASA!

This is almost making me think I should write GW fic that is not about boys kissing. Almost.

I know your movie is bad. i am watching it mostly for the lulz.

However, I am forced to report this movie has insufficient lulz and way too many boring people emoing about their dull lives. I WANT TO SEE PEOPLE EATEN, GODDAMNIT. I DO NOT EXPECT MUCH FROM MY STUPID VIOLENT MOVIES BUT I DO EXPECT VIOLENCE.
