Strangeness and Charm

I was bored tonight, but I don't have PS on this computer, so I fooled around on photobucket instead. Mostly fooling around with the same images. I'll probably make another post later.

For those of you who are writing NaNoWriMo, or just writing something,  I suggest Write or Die at http://lab.drwicked.com/writeordie.html

it's a great way to get a lot done. And I need all the help I can get. I have 400 words for 3 hours of work, but I've been working on a lot of plot ideas and such. So I have a lot for future writing, and hey, the day is still young. I know the NaNo site must be getting A LOT of traffic right now, but I wish it was working.

 Why must you hate me so, writing?

When I have the muse, I have no time and energy. When I have time and energy, I have no muse!

*stares at all her WIPS and weeps* 

Even though I wasn't going to until next month, once the post was staring at me, I couldn't help but join! So I'm participating in ficfinishing 's October round. Yay! Unfortunately they don't have Harry Potter yet (*cough anyone who requests it in the fandom requesting post will be much loved cough*) so I joined for Bones. I have been writing for that fandom a bit more lately, and it would be nice to FINALLY finish A Phone Call Away/A Day with the Squints/In the Dark drabble table. I signed up for ADwtS though, and will do the rest next time. Unless Harry Potter gets approved, that is.

Maybe next time I'll try to write some Angel. Still a bit hesitant about writing for that fandom, though.

Just out of curiosity, anyone else on my F-list joining in for ficfinishing  or Nanowrimo this year?

*sigh* As if I don't already have enough to do. But it was just so tempting! And I've never really done drabbles before. My attempt at one ended up being over 500 words.
In the Dark

1.	My lover's bed	2.	Moonlight	3.	No more lonely nights	4.	Long dark night of the soul	5.	Shooting stars
6.	Dancing in the dark	7.	A midnight clear	8.	Dark desires	9.	The night we met	10.	Nightmares
11.	Saturday night's all right	12.	Electricity	13.	Tender is the night	14.	Insomnia	15.	Blackout
16.	By candlelight	17.	Hot summer nights	18.	Before sunrise	19.	Last night on earth	20.	Writer's choice

According to my calculator, with all of my fics put together I have about 88,442 words written. Which is a lot for me. On fanfiction.net I am on the author alerts of 41 authors and the favorite author of 40, with a total of 533 reviews. On HPFF I have 1,232 reviews and am on 55 people's favorites.

Update wise, I've been writing more lately which is making me very happy. I haven't been writing much this year, sadly. Usually a chapter every 3 months or so. Hopefully this'll keep up, because I really want to finish my stories. I have been writing most of them for 3 years, and I am getting pretty tired of them. I want them over so I can work on new things, preferably for other fandoms since I don't really like Harry Potter anymore. I joined a community called ficfinishing  that I plan to participate in once I get settled in more to my new schedule with school and choir.  I also want to try to plan some of my stories out so that i have a more clear idea of where most of them are going. Figures that the one story I plan out, The Perfect Life?, has the notebook it was written in tossed in a box because we're packing up my room so that we can redo the carpets.
Anyway, here's a small list of what I hope to have up soon. HOPE, so if it's 6 months later and it's still not written, don't say I didn't warn you.
Harry Potter
Ghosts of Yesterday chapter 5 (Dear lord, it's been a year since I've updated already?)
Ship of Dreams chapter 5 (ditto)
Inheritance chapter 4
Speak chapter 18
The Perfect Life? chapter 2
A Single Deadly Sin (Dramione one-shot that I was challenged to write by Blue_Suede_Shoes of SAYS. I had to write Draco Malfoy for the sin lust)
Levels of Niceness (James/Lily one-shot)
Kissing You (a 7 one-shots story with a possible kiss scene for each book for Harry/Hermione, inspired by the Bones version written by ForaReason. Once I get her permission, that is.)

Bones

The Emily Brennan series:
A Day with the Squints (possible Nanowrimo thing)

Angel
Blood (Angel/Cordelia drabble

Wow, that's a lot. And I actually had to narrow a ton of things down since I have like, 12 work in progresses. *dies* I really need to complete some stories. Like, out of the 9 completed stories I have, only 2 are non one-shots. That's kind of sad. But I really love writing one-shots, and I've been writing more of them lately. I like it because you get an idea, sit down and write it for a bit, and then it's done. No real commitment, no more thoughts.

Looks like i have some busy months ahead of me. >_<




 

I am at heart a lurker. I read stories, I read entries, and usually unless I feel really strongly about something, I don't comment. On the occasion I have written really long thoughtful review, often times it either never gets responded to, or the response is "I'll try that thanks for the review" Yes, occasionally I'll get the long response back (and oh how I love it when I do) but those memories stay and tend to make me review less. If it's not that, it's something else: I'm too tired, I have to do something else, I get too caught up in the story, or I'm just plain lazy. 

But you know what? I might not review every single story I come across, but I want to review more. I want to be one of those faithful reviewers that you notice every time. Particularly since I have been getting so many reviews lately. 

I just wanted to say, partially because I'm more likely to do it when I have witnesses, and partially because I am up for recs, either for your own fics or for other people's. There isn't much I won't read as long as it's well written, though I prefer not to read slash (Unless it's Willow/Tara from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or RHR/HG from Harry Potter. Even if I've read it before I'll read it again to review. I'm nice in my reviews, though I do give constructive criticism I usually manage to do it in a fairly nice way. I also fangirl a lot if I'm really enjoying something. 

So, any takers?

A/N- I’d like to reinstate the warning I wrote in the first chapter: the characters are going to be somewhat out of character. I will have some in character moments here and there, but if something puts you off, that’s why. I’d also like to apologize for the wait. I seem to have encountered a brick wall with all of my stories, this one being no exception. Hopefully now that I have taken this small step writing will come easier to me now.
Fandom: Harry Potter
Title: Inheritance (3/?)
Pairing: Harry/Hermione
Rating: T/15+
Word Count: 1069
Summary: It's a game as old as life itself, used in war and in peace, for fun and for serious. But can two love-stricken partners-against-crime bring something to the table that has never been done before in the game?
Spoilers: Uh, books 1-6 I guess.

OMG! I AM ON FIFTY PEOPLE'S FAVORITES LISTS! I do realize that I have some pretty popular authors on my friend's list (*coughJenandSusancough*) but this is really big for me. I remember 2 years ago when I only had 2 people, and 1 year ago when I only had 19. OMG I AM SO HAPPY. Except I feel kind of bad because I haven't written much lately. :/

Oh, and I have 1,092 Reviews in all! Just 2 Christmases ago I had just made 200.

Plus, on the story I just posted, that little story I wrote at midnight in one sitting? Yeah, I've gotten 9 reviews, all of them positive! They said it was very realistic and a few of them almost cried/did cry.

I don't know what my fanfiction.net account stats are, I'll check when I go back home.

*dances around house happily singing off tune*

For those of you who have read Speak and have been waiting ages for the update, I have a special treat for you. I haven't quite finished the chapter, but i have the first part done. So to hold you over until I get the next part done, I'll post the first (and sort of more boring part) here.
