This Is An Entry To Prove I Can Actually Still Be In A Good Mood

[redbrunja]

First off,

Happy Birthday hireadd!

I'm not sure when exactly it is, but I just wanted to get that out there. I hope you have a great day, and get awesome presents and the cake is awesome. (How old are you turning again?)

Also, I had a nice backlog of Girl Genius to read, and I'd forgotten how much fun that series is when you can just read a chuck at a time - what a great flow it has really shows. Plus the humor is able to really shine. mzminola, we must discuss.

First of all, Lars! Poor Lars. I love Agatha's rant about how they hurt her friends and the Jager's bringing his body and saying, 'when you bury him, make sure he has a hat.'

Gil! I loved Gil talking first about his project and then going to his father, and being all heir to the Evil Empire. I think Gilgamesh intellectually knows what a tyrant his father is but doesn't emotionally. Still, that's a father/son dynamic that I love.

And regarding that guy who saved the Baron and Dupree? Oh my god was that story hilarious. He just kept getting so beat up and damaged and I would have left Dupree to die so many times over. ^_^

Agatha, as always, was awesome. And I'd adore a coffee machine that would make coffee that tasted as good as it smelled.

Also, I need someone to stop me.

So at the gym today I'm remembering a Draco/Hermione story that won an award called the 'I Never Loved You Anyway' award and I was thinking 'what a great title for a story that would be' and made a mental note to write that down for when I find a story to write it to. Then I come across un_love_you which happens to have the best prompts ever:


01 You were right about me
02 I was wrong about you
03 This cancels out the hurt
04 I need to want you
05 You can be like me
06 I want to need you
07 Prove it
08 I'm cruel
09 Always wondered what this'd be like
10 I'm broken
11 Thought I needed this
12 I'm drunk
13 I want to hurt you
14 I'm awake and you're breathing
15 This is my desperation in action
16 I want to break you
17 Wish I didn't love you
18 I pity you
19 This isn't about you at all
20 I hate you, you bitch
21 You'll do
22 I hate myself
23 You remind me of me
24 I want you to hate me
25 You remind me of someone
26 I can be like you

28 Author's Choice
29 Author's Choice
30 Author's Choice

And my muse, the bitch, gives me snippets of Goyjo x Yaone for every. single. prompt. on there. And I'm like, tests! Outstanding memes! Sleep!

And my muse goes: Gojyo x Yaone!

And I'm like, no, be realistic, you don't want to go over ground nimblnymph's already doing, and my mind goes, how to be different? And comes up with a totally dissimilar set-up and is all, 'write me!'

So someone needs to be really convincing and tell me not to sign up for that pairing for this comm.

I totally blame finals for this: if I actually had time to write what I already have planned, I wouldn't have this horrible temptation to write more things. Plus we all know stress = fic. It's one of those defense mechanisms. Like how you get a cold and suddenly have an rp account, or you have nightmares and insomnia and get a second one.

Also, this icon is hilarious. And considering me and my inflexible positions on slash, you know what that means. ^_^

FMA, ROy/Maes (pretty much the only slash i've ever written in 30 years of fandom, and now those damn saiyuki boys)

drabbles are good but i like to do longer things (look at how many stories i have over 50 pages...) i've decided no more challenge comms over 10 stories long

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

10 stories sounds like a really reasonable number. (Muse: but <lj user="un_love_you" .has 'This is my desperation in action." Me: "I hate you, you bitch.") I really like doing stories between drabbles and fifty pages. That way the stories seem managable to write, but I can tell a good story.

nods, yeah I hear you. Drabbles are hard. I've been in a BUffy drabble comm for years now jsut practicing how to write short

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

With actual exactly 100 word stories I spend fifteen minutes writing the body of it and then 30 minutes cutting it down. ^_^ But they're still quicker than some of the first they do this, and then they do this and then this happens stories that sometimes appear in my head and beg me to write them. (Muse: like the G x Y- me: SHUT IT!)

i know what you mean
