Sorry, IF readers - tonight's post is about my Yuletide fanfic signup. I have lost cool points with the IF crowd.

( Dear Yuletide Santa... )

The entire weekend I've felt like I had a really good time in a bar, although without remembering the good parts. I started my next game but the headache is back and I'm going to bed early.

Back Monday!

I'm listening to 'Shadow Out of Tim' and I'm only on Track 3, Chapter 2: Blackout. As soon as the track started, I swear I smelled something. Nothing bad - that clear watery ozone smell of a water based perfume, like BPAL Cathode. It hit me so suddenly it was kind of spooky. There's no reason that smell should be here; the desk is littered in potentially bad smelling stuff (breakfast leftovers, mostly.) Nice effect, Toren.

Actual fandom related info: Things I like: characterization > plot. If someone's out of character, I can't read it. I'm not a big fan of crossovers. I don't RP, although I tried; I think it's a bit of a time-suck and I've never seen good fic come from it.

I haven't read much fic in a while, lately, so it's hard to say what I like and what I don't. I have some friends who write original stuff, and I read theirs, and I write my original fic. The last fanfic I wrote is on y-gallery and should be public in the depths of this journal; I wrote some Metalocalypse fic, slash and a piece speculating on the nature of the Sumerian prophecy that's barely been touched in canon.

I took place in a zombie blogging event on another journal, writing as if I was a priest in a rural place. But not a very good priest. I like 'em better that way. I have had serious debates on whether Caleb (Buffy) or Brother Justin (Carnivale) is more awesome. These have not gone well since everyone says 'But he's the Kurgan! He wins by default!'

Since there isn't much public in this journal to browse, I feel like I should give you some random trivia:

1. I don't actually like movies as much as my public posts may indicate. I just feel like they're more public, and thus I can leave them out in public.

2. I hate House of Leaves. I have never read 'chick lit' and never will. One of the coolest books I read recently involved two messed up priests, a lot of sex, some magical realism, and was half written in Jamaican. I like HP Lovecraft, some Stephen King (Cell had potential and fell dead flat), and lately I've been on a Moorcock kick.

3. That's a name, I'm not a sex fiend.

3.5. Not that I'll say no.

3.75. Okay, I say 'no thank you' to anything involving functions best done alone in a bathroom, or pregnancy (exception is made for anything Rosemary's Baby-like.) But anything else goes.

4. But above all, have fun.

5. Five is a lucky number of mine, and four isn't. So you get a fifth point.

Semi-double-post from my main journal.

To recap:

NIN's new album? Let it grow on you. Even Capital G. Roll around in the ARG if you like your media multi-faceted. (It isn't really marketing. It's just what he wanted to do.) Accept the post-With Teeth Trent that lifts Buicks in his spare time; he's just preparing for a fight.

Manson's new album? TOTAL FUCKING CRAP. It's like one long boring song. I give up on you, Brian. You were much better as a bombastic, unapologetic asshole.

EVERYONE!

WRITE MORE PORN.

1. I know people involved in this.
2. I may have posted this twice. I can't use this damn thing.

Imrihamun - 1 Feb 42/2007

Summary: So, what does a Sumerian prophecy have to do with Dethklok? While not guessing at the prophecy, Ofdensen knows more than he's letting on. He's not Dethklok, though. He uses Nathan to try to find out more.
Time: Before the events of 'Dethwater'. No spoilers except for his name, I think.
Rating: Violence, no sex. Probably not suitable for vegetarians.

Disclaimer: Fanfic is a homage. If the copyright holders for the animated series Metalocalypse or people representing them ask for the removal of this, I will comply.

Notes: I'd like to thank my undergraduate professor for 'Babylonia Before 1600'.
Gift for: kleenexwoman
Archive: hatredy Removed for being retarded, Y-Gallery, any personal archives I may create. No others. Linkers please send me a note so I can do a happy jig.

Sumerian fic is ALMOST done. Seriously. I need another 1/2 hr or so; I might be able to do it at work tomorrow. (Wednesdays are hard to be on the internet, though - I'm in the front office, not the back.) I kind of started writing by jumping into it and now it needs a beginning. Feels slipshod right now.

For anyone in the Metalocalypse fandom, I'm going to be doing all my posting in hatredy from now on. SF is full of SO MUCH CRAP it makes me want to STAB. I may post something in SF saying that, too. I'm kind of pissy that I've e-mailed the mods about certain issues and they've said, 'oh, we'll get to that, do you have ideas?' and I say yes, here's a page of guidelines I've written up - and then the mod application thing, which seems to have gone nowhere - AARG.

Anyhow, yeah. Just sos you know.
