One of my favourite ever livejournal comms, landofart, has just started its latest phase. It's open to absolutely any level of graphic artist, even if you've never opened up a graphics programme before, so why not come and play?



You can apply for a team HERE (Renaissance is the team to be on, just saying, not biased cos I mod it or anything).

Just dropping by to ask if anyone would do me the favour of signing this petition to bring back Make It or Break It for Disney's new streaming platform. It was started a few days ago on Twitter and it's sadly lacking in support. Even if you don't watch/have never heard of Make It or Break It, it's worth signing, because when I do manage to convince you to watch it, you'll want more of it ;)

cookiegirl: (Lucifer worth it)
Hello any Lucifer-watchers!

I was wondering if you could help me with a question! Do we ever see Amenadiel drinking anything? ie. alcohol, etc? I seem to recall that he orders a glass of milk at a bar in one episode, but I'm not sure if I've either a) imagined that or b) got it from a fanfic or something? If anyone can confirm/deny, and maybe even give me an episode number, that would be awesome!

The reason I'm asking is that I got assigned Amenadiel as the character that Hannibal Lecter meets in my [community profile] intoabar  fic. I'm not at all inspired by this pairing but I do want to write something for the comm, even if it's a super short scene, so help on the drinking front would be great. (Also, if you have any plot ideas/requests, go ahead!!)

Thank you!

Snagged from everyone. YAY for memes going around. 

How about we do that thing where you give me a show/movie/fandom and I’ll tell you:

my favorite female character
my favorite male character
my favorite book/season/etc.
my favorite episode (if it’s a TV show)
my favorite cast member
my favorite ship
a character I’d die put a reasonable amount of effort into defending
a character I just can’t sympathize with
a character I grew to love
my anti otp

You can choose from anything in any of my scrapbooks or anything else you know/think I've watched :) I'm currently/recently viewing Hannibal, Life Sentence, Lucifer, iZombie, One Day at a Time, HTGAWM, Scorpion, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Superstore if that helps!

Oh hai, here I am bringing up the rear!

Day 13

Set some goals for the coming year

I've gone with fannish/internet/writing goals rather than personal goals, because... I'm not touching that hot mess right now! :D

Complete Snowflake Challenge!!
Complete my [community profile] getyourwordsout  pledge
Write my fics for the [community profile] collarcorner  exchange and [community profile] agegapexchange 
Finish a couple of the fics I've had on hold for years, especially Field Trip
Work on my original fiction/novel ideas/plots
Be a good mod at the two communities I'm involved in
Update DW/LJ regularly - and remember to actually include personal things :D
Leave prompts, comments and general encouragement for everyone <3
Support communities and challenges
Participate in All The Things \o/


Day 14

Create your own challenge

This is a challenge for me and for anyone else who will find it useful: Be Brave. There are so many great fandom things I missed out on in the past because I thought my writing wouldn't be good enough, or my art wouldn't be up to scratch, or I would end up defaulting, or whoever I got assigned in an exchange would be disappointed with their gift. And even now that I'm more confident about joining in, there's still a lot I worry about. But no matter what you think of your own work/ideas/opinions, there's someone out there who wants to see it and share it with you, whether it's a huge fic or a bizarre prompt you'd like filled or a few random thoughts about how hot someone looked in the last episode of something. So be brave, share, participate, give back to fandom, introduce yourself to new people, be weird and passionate and whatever you want to be.


Day 15

Write a love letter to Fandom in general, to a particular fandom, to a trope, a relationship, a character, or to your flist/circle/followers

That's a big list of things to love on! I could try and be eloquent, but, I'm just gonna say: I LOVE YOU. 

I love you, fandom, for being crazy and excitable and obsessed and unashamed about your passions. For being welcoming to new people and being just as pleased as me to find someone who shares your loves. For making me a better writer, for giving me a creative outlet, for supporting me in rough times and for making me feel never really truly alone.

I love you, f-list, those who've been with me for years and years, and those who I'm just getting to know. Thank you for putting up with me :)

I have quite a few ficlets and comment fics that I need to get posted on here, so I apologise in advance if you get an influx of entries! I might combine a few of the shorter ones into single posts. Anyway, I'm getting started with the only fic I managed to write for last year's [community profile] fandom_stocking , for [personal profile] dunderklumpen . It's my first foray into writing Miranda. And it's a Christmas fic! Posted in February! SUCH FUN!

Day 12

Create a fanwork.


Sounds simple enough, but I was lacking inspiration, so I tried an old and trusted source: [livejournal.com profile] tw100. It's a long time since I've written a Torchwood drabble, and it's good to be back, even if this is technically a double-drabble!

Day 9

Post at least three recs for fanworks that you have created.


Ugh, self-recs, always a joy! I mostly post White Collar fic and art, so here's a few recs for works in other fandoms, just to mix things up a bit!

The Walking Dead: Like Home (Beth, Daryl) - Tiny dialogue-only ficlet featuring Beth, Daryl and some hypothetical cushions. I love the challenge of the dialogue-only format, and I miss seeing these characters together onscreen. At only around 200 words it's a quick read and might make you smile!

How to Get Away With Murder: In Control (Michaela/Asher) - Short fic about Michaela struggling both with coming to terms with her own desires, and opening up to Asher. I enjoyed writing this and feel like I captured some of the awkward power struggle at the beginning of their relationship.

Suits: Stop the World (Mike, Harvey, Donna) - This was a fandom stocking gift and I'm not sure anyone other than the recipient ever read it. It's not something I would have normally chosen to write, but I'm pleased with the way it came out. Might be worth a read if you're not looking for a happy ending!

Day 10

Share your love for a trope, cliche, kink, motif or theme.


I love a good trope. There's a whole ton that I adore. I get excited when I see them being set up on screen or in a fic. "What's that, you guys have to pretend to be a couple while undercover on a case? Or you're lost and cold and you're gonna need to strip down and cuddle? Or wow, you're trying to book into a hotel and there's only a double room left even though you need two single beds? EXCELLENT NEWS."

Basically, anything like pretending to be a couple, cuddling for warmth or having to share a bed works so well for me because I love the way those scenarios test friends-who-secretly-have-feelings-for-each-other. I love it when the situation starts with reluctance, sniping, bickering, etc, and develops into something else: a slight softening or progression in the relationship, a begrudging revelation of something about themselves that makes the two grow a little closer, or even occasionally a full-on move from friends-to-lovers. I'm a shipper at heart, so a situation that makes the two people I ship spend time in awkwardly close proximity is a win.

If you have any fics like this, please go ahead and rec :D

Day 11

Share a book/song/movie/tv show/fanwork/etc that changed your life.

There are three that come instantly to mind. Firstly, Buffy. Buffy had such a strong influence over the person I grew up to be. I started watching when I was around twelve and it was my favourite show throughout my teenage years. It affected everything from my sense of humour, to my moral compass, to my speech patterns, to my perception of fantasy and storytelling. And, years later, when on a Buffy forum, it finally introduced me to the concept of conventions, something I didn't even know existed in this country until then. I went to my first couple of conventions and a love was born.

Secondly, Torchwood. It brought me back to Livejournal, and to writing, and to being fannish. It was really the first show I read or wrote fanfiction for, with a couple of small exceptions beforehand. It was my first experience of being a fan online at the same time as part of a show was airing, and that experience was wonderful.

And thirdly, White Collar. I discovered White Collar when the Torchwood fandom was waning, and it helped me stick around Livejournal. It helped me to make some more amazing online friends, and it helped me to develop from writing short ficlets to proper stories. It gave me characters to believe in, and who inspired me. <3
