baby satasify me

So guess what I didn't do this weekend! Did you guess cleaning? Studying? Writing? You win! I lose.

::eyes Word::

All my skill has gone away like. I am filled with woe or whatever. Ok, mostly I'm stressing about this needing a second job thing. And the my family is slightly insane thing. They've been eerily supportive thus far of the whole getting my shit together and moving out thing. It makes me itchy like well maybe the shoe is just waiting to fall. ::eyes them warily:: Surprisingly enough the two people I thought would throw the biggest fits have... not. At all. Granted, one of them is just shoulder deep in denial, but there's nothing to be done for that.

I've written about 2,000 words this month and deleted them all. It's just bad. I can't focus and this is disturbing. Is it tacky to give out IOUs for gifties? lol I've got to do laundry tomorrow, and maybe some cleaning, and packing cause Brit is coming down again for a while. We're going to do the whole job hunting thing, and the whole camp our Harry Potter fangirl thing, and most likely the Oh, Oh Carmine I Wish To Have Your Babies thing, because we're shallow like that. Also? Measurements. And plotting. Hopefully some writing, but I'm not holding my breath because so far I don't think we made time for sleeping in the schedule.

Hit me with some inspiration, people. Prompts. Pretties. Whatever. Please?


Oh, lookie. My icon and my mood are both smoking. It's a filthy habit. Oh, how I like the pretty of filthy things.

What fandom do you want prompts for? :) I could supply some HP goodness, there. :D

*has been writing prompt-based ficlets like whoa lately*

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2005-07-14 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
lol General prompts would make me beyond happy, actually. If you wanna prompt HP though, I'm willing to listen. :) Maybe not get to it soon or anything, but...

::is bad at ficlets like whoa:: ::bows to those who are good at them::

[identity profile] silentauror.livejournal.com 2005-07-14 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
The ficlets, actually, I find really easy. :) It's like no-strings sex, only in terms of plot - you can basically write anything with immunity. :)

Prompt for you: "There's no way I'm wearing that. It was your father'."

:D

H/D would be preferable, of course. :) Have fun!

::blinks a lot::

oh, Jesus. lmao

See, ficlets are harder for me, because I have no ability to porn or to plot or to... You know, when I think about it I'm fairly certain there's no part of writing I'm actually good at. lol I bow to people who can do ficlets and do them really fucking perfectly.

[identity profile] silentauror.livejournal.com 2005-07-14 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oops, I meant "it was your father's" - note the s! :)

What?! You so can write porn, honey! I've seen it! :) And practise makes perfect, as they say... Sometimes a prompt helps me, sometimes not. I like to go unexpected places with people's prompts, too. :) Good luck!

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2005-07-14 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
lol I got that, it just put some funny images into my head first. :p

I can't write porn! I'm bad at porn. And it makes me blush to roughly the color of a lobster to write and it's cringeworthy and ::cringes:: badbadbadness.

Unexpected places are good. lol And thank you for the luck. I need it. :)

[identity profile] silentauror.livejournal.com 2005-07-14 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hee, here's my self-prescribed get-over-the-blushing exercise: get yourself a blank screen or a piece of paper & a pen, and write the word "cock" about fifty times. Then draw one. A big one. Like, complete with details. Then resume writing porn. :D

My "unexpected places" are usually non-porny places - I just introduce the porn somewhere else, that's all. :) It's a good time. Like, my last ficlet "Cookies" - the prompt was "You want me to put that where?", and I made it be about Draco putting the baking powder into the dough. :) Of course, they also had rampant sex on the floor later, so whatever. But that's what I mean about being unexpected. Because the prompt itself was quite porny, and I like to be unpredictable. :D

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2005-07-14 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
lmao oh, that's, that's great, actually. lmao See, I like the word cock. I like the word cunt. I'm a geek that way, I guess, in that I like the way words are shaped. I like the sharp, hard edges of those words. I am such a geek. lol

And also, BWAH. "You want me to put that where?" I wouldn't have gone with porn either, knowing me. I'd've... made it an argument or something. I like to think that I've finally figured out that the prompts are what keep me signing up for ficathons, but it's hard to say for sure. ;) It's always fun to go somewhere completely different.

[identity profile] silentauror.livejournal.com 2005-07-14 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed, it is! :) And I don't think you're a geek for liking those words. Well, if you are, then sign me up for geekdom, because I like words based on those sorts of parameters, too.

I'm going to bed now, so forgive me if I'm terribly late in responding after this! Dentist in the morning, boo. :(

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2005-07-14 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hee Thank you! I figure writers are more likely to not think I'm off my rocker, so score one for our team. lol

Ah. Good luck with the dentist, may he not be a serial killer who gets off on the pain of others. ;)

Well, I was thinking suggesting an O11 HP crossover, just for my own amusement, clearly,, and then I thought that might be a little cruel.

So I suggest Danny/Rusty and, um, o, nuns.

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2005-07-14 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
::blinks:: HP/O11 crossover? ::blinks more:: Please do not encourage my Dannys. I'm already trying not to do a O11/CSI: NY crossover because of Rusty/Danny from CSI: NY. (My Carmine, I'm sure you've heard my talk of him. ;)) Which is to say, tell me more.

Heh, I'm working on an O11 fic right now, I swear I am. It's just... not going anywhere because Rusty likes to cause me pain.

[identity profile] laurificus.livejournal.com 2005-07-14 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
O, babe, I know that feeling. I'm considering killing Rusty off just so I don't have to finish mine. But then I remember that I'd miss the hotness, so I quash the urge for about ten seconds. *G*

And, really, Sirius and Danny in the same room, when Danny's just learned about magic, and Rusty and Remus are trying to control them both. O dear. *fans self*

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2005-07-15 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Rusty is a bastard, he really, really is. He enjoys causing innocent writers pain. I do believe he gets off on it. Heh, actually with my Huge Ass Fic O' O11 Doom I was so frustrated that my beta did kill him for me. ::giggles:: The story wouldn't end so she had a semi hit their car. It was fun for me for about ten seconds. ;)

Oh, Jesus. Sirius and Danny? ::boggles:: That's just too much... charm, yeah, we'll go with charm, for one room. lol

Oh! Remus would be all "Sit down, Sirius." And Sirius would and Rusty would boggle and try it and Danny would look at him funny and Rusty would raise his eyebrow and Tess would not exist because I hate her and her attempts at ruination of a damn good OTP.

eyebrow


O, I like that a lot. Yes, I definitely do.

And I was thinking about this last night (shut up; it's a stressful time waiting for HBP, and I need the distractions) and I figure that Rusty and Danny, and Sirius and Remus must be around the same age. So now I'm having 20 yo Sirius black and 20 yo Dannyin the same room. And maybe Sirius and Remus are together, and maybe this is giving Rusty ideas. And Sirius and Danny also have many stupid and insane ideas. And then I lose any small ability for rational thought I ever had.

and Tess would not exist because I hate her and her attempts at ruination of a damn good OTP.

Yeah, I suspect the O11 fic would go easier if I didn't have to keep working round Tess. Because she is a fairly huge part of his life, and then it's like why does Danny do it, and why does Rusty put up with it, and so on and so on. Maybe you could have your beta kill Tes with the semi. I would certainly thank you.

I'm going to guess writing?? So did your moving out/roommate thing work out? omg new HP book this weekend! I'm all excited. Must do the whole HP fangirl thing. hee. Also I suck at prompts so I don't think I can give any.

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2005-07-15 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
DINGDINGDING We have a winner, Jack!

The moving out/roommate thing is a work in progress. This weekend is going to be spent looking for jobs and fangirling and not sleeping. We'll also probably go look at the place, go over numbers, get some measurements and rack our brains for a third roommate, which would bring total monthly shared bills to (guessing) around $420 a month. Which is damn good, really. Damn good. ::nods::

Sadly I do not get to go to the B&N party. This lack of ability to fangirl fills me with woe. WOE I TELL YOU. I'm so excited it's scary. This is the first new HP book since I've been in fandom! And after this there's only one more! And Jon Stewart talked about the new book and it's like two of my favorite things at once. I don't even care that he was mocking. ::giggles::

[identity profile] affectations.livejournal.com 2005-07-15 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
*bows* That's great that it's working out for you. It sounds complicated. I'm glad my parents are paying my bills. hee.

I don't think I'll be sleeping much this weekend either, I'll probably be too busy reading. I'm going to have a whole reading marathon. That sucks about the B & N party. I'm not going to a party either, I'm just going early tomorrow to pick up the book. Let's fangirl and squee over the book together when we've finished reading it! I know, it's the first new HP book for me too since I've been in fandom! It's so sad that there's only one more, I don't want it to end. omg wow, that's two of your favorite things together even if he was mocking. That's just great. It feels like everyone's talking about the book. omg it's July 16th!! Well 12:15 am on July 16th. Why don't we get it released here at midnight??? I want the book now! *wails*
