(no subject)

Come talk to me. About whatever.


Right now, I can't sleep and my Sunday is going to be full of nothing in particular (okay, a lot of chores and not looking forward to monday, so fandom thoughts are always a plus).

Things that are currently on my mind:

  • Zuko/Katara. Forever awesome. Forever bitter.

  • Lydia Martin week is coming up on tumblr. I didn't have a chance to do anything for Allison Argent week, so I'm considering writing Lydia/Allison. No plot bunnies as yet.

  • Allison Argent is totally my hair inspiration. About six months ago I cut my hair short (for me, which is shoulder length) and I've kept it that way, but I think it's time to start growing it out again because every time I see her awesome locks I just get so envious. That said, I'm REALLY BUMMED that it looks like Crystal Reed dyed her hair blonde. I'm hoping that she did so AFTER filming season three of Teen Wolf.

  • Because AO3 and my Kindle iTouch app are wonderful, I am one again interested in reading epic fanfics. (Epic as in long.) Any recommendations?

  • I'm also in the process of downloading all my favorite fanfics to my iTouch, so even if I don't have internet, I'll have fanfic.

  • I'm planning on doing a meme regarding my top ten pairings EVER, in order, so right now I'm braining storming all my 'I'll ship it IN HELL' pairings.

I don't know If you like the Draco/ hermione stuff but I've been tearing through this one fan fic author who writes amazing epics.

I have read and enjoyed Hermione/Draco before.

I think I saw a recent tweet from holland stating they were actually still filming... :(

Probably cause the season is going to be so long.....

May I introduce you to Fanfiction Downloader (http://www.fanfictiondownloader.net/)? It works with FF.net, AFF.net, and many other websites. Makes those epic fics a breeze.

It has truly made my century.

I can really only rec Hunger Games epics, and I'm not sure how much you're into that fandom anymore? But I love Kindle and how you can read a giant fanfic there. It's actually my preferred method now for a long fic.

Not so much into Hunger Games, these days. But yes! I love reading a nice long fanfic on my iTouch. It's so relaxing and comfortable.

How do you download fanfics to your iTouch?

Can't wait to see what you'll out on the 'I'll ship it IN HELL' pairings meme.

I see that you reblogged nymre's fanart. :D Do you also know about pugletto's awesome Zuko/Katara fanart?

How do you download fanfics to your iTouch?

A03 has a download button that, when I click it while reading on my iTouch, downloads directly to my kindle ap. It's WONDERFUL.

I see that you reblogged nymre's fanart. :D Do you also know about pugletto's awesome Zuko/Katara fanart?

I didn't, thanks!

Thanks for the tip! I've really got to get an AO3 account.

No problem! Mind if I message you with stuff you may like in the future? I'm thinking about doing this with all my online friends on tumblr and LJ.

AO3 is my favorite place to read fic, these days.

PLEASE DO!

Something you might enjoy, a season 3 TVD fic:

now the story of an original family who lost everything and the one son who had no choice but to keep them at the minimal level of sanity, or, Elijah Mikaelson: I Did Not Sign Up For This (http://archiveofourown.org/works/578581)

ff.net mirror (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8755513/1/Elijah-Mikaelson-I-Did-Not-Sign-Up-For-This)

This fic hit me with a double punch of hilarity since I've gotten more fully into TVD fandom lately, and also because I just rewatched the first four episodes of Arrested Development, so the style made me laugh.


I can't decide if my favorite part is the reference to regency novels, or elbows off the table, or Stefan v. Klaus's lip-tremble-crying face.

Thanks for the rec, but I'm actually not really into TVD these days. And I'm not familiar with Arrested Development.

Well, nevermind that rec then, you need to watch Arrested Development ASAP. I had thought you'd seen it, but maybe that's because we've had so many fandoms in common over time.

There's a ton of summaries/reviews out there for it, so I won't go into detail, but it's incredibly funny. It takes about 3 episodes to get hooked, buy they're short so that's alright.

I just switched to SUPER EXPENSIVE aveda shampoo/conditioner and now my frizz has turned into Allison Argent luscious curls. It was kind of surprising. I'm still getting used to it.

That sounds AMAZING.

Laaaaate comment, but please do this:

I'm planning on doing a meme regarding my top ten pairings EVER, in order, so right now I'm braining storming all my 'I'll ship it IN HELL' pairings.

I would read the hell out of that and now I wanna do it tooooooo.

[identity profile] redbrunja.livejournal.com 2013-05-05 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm in the process of brainstorming. I think I'm going to open 'top ten ships' to books as well as movies and tv. Scratch that, I'm going to do top 5 TV/Film ships and then do a bonus round with my fav book pairings.

I'm also tempted to do 'top five friendships.'

It's gonna be fun.

now I wanna do it tooooooo.

DO IT. It would be so easy for you, your previous lists are practically your top pairings.

Also, you should totally do a fanfic meme this weekend.
