I *was* going to do NaNo but then Uncharted 3 came out and... yeah. Apparently the Writer Gods or whatever are punishing me for that because now I have stalled spectacularly on my Anderfels fic. So! The usual response to this is memes. I posted this on my tumblr, but I'd love to do writing here too.

So!

Give me a character and a quote and I'll bash something out for you. Simple as that!

All postcards are away! Also, I have a ton left, so if anybody else feels like asking for one, don't be shy about PMing me your address and I'll get one to you ASAP.

To celebrate, a meme I've been saving!

The first five people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble/ficlet of any pairing/character of their choosing. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level.

Gif meme from madzilla !

1. The 2nd to last GIF in your folder is who you will marry.
2. The GIF that is your age # will be your reaction to his/her proposal.
3. And your 25th GIF is how you greet him/her the morning after you’ve married.

( Marriage gifs! )

You're now a timelord. The 41st gif in your folder is your companion. The 17th gif is your arch enemy.

( This turned out awesome, ngl )

The year in Fandom meme! Look, you know I'd do this eventually.

( meeeeeeeeme )

Also I'm just going to leave this here.


Oh Doctor Who.

Five questions from skelody , hooray!

ONE.
What's the first book you remember reading on your own?

This rather dreadful series of books called Animal Ark, which were about a girl whose parents are both vets. they all had alliterative titles like Rabbit on the Run or Pony in the Paddock and they were exactly the kind of thing a very young girl reading on her own would love. (To make me sound cooler I was going to say something like Asterix but nope, it was Animal Ark. I can only plead that my tastes have improved somewhat)

TWO.
Your Bedroom
You are standing in your bedroom. It is probably around two in the afternoon, but you can't be sure -- portals to Unknown Dimensions block every conceivable escape route, including the windows.

An empty backpack lies on the floor.

>▐ Make a rope out of bedsheets, fill my backpack with books, knitting stuff and biscuits (yes I keep biscuits in my room shush) and pick a portal at random, tying the bedsheet-rope to my bed so I can get back.


THREE.
Anything you really want to learn, but doubt that you ever will? Why?

I would love to learn another language- maybe Mandarin, or Latin, or just become fluent in one of the ones I already speak, but I don't think I ever will because that kind of thing requires time, effort and proper classes and I am very lazy.

FOUR.
Pockets or pocketbooks? (Or like, messenger bags or backpacks or hidden compartments in your shoes, but that's not as fun to say.)

Pockets! (do not get me started on the Women's Clothing and Pockets Rant, we'll be here all day) and this bag:



Only mine is canvas with a blue-and-white sailboat pattern and a pink, blue and white strap. It's beautiful. I love this bag.

obligatory FIVE:
Which Doctor is... your Doctor?

Oh no, I can't decide! it used to be Ten until the series got all weird and bombastic, and now I like Eleven because he's funny and professorish, but then Ten is still very handsome and funny and... argh you see my dilemma! I shall have to give them both the top spot.

Want to heckle? Wish to receive five questions of your own? Comment below!

Today I'm answering solaeris ' 'Name your top five antagonists'.


( Sit down at my table... put your mind at ease! )

Tomorrow, protagonists!

Ask me my Fannish Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post. Possibly with pictures.

Beacuse it's been oh, at least a month since my last meme and as we all know I am a total memewhore.

I'm back in Cardiff! And all it took was a fiendishly hot and slow 4 hour coach journey. I swear, if I never see the interior of a National Express coach it will be too soon. Anyway, thought it'd update you all because when I got back I saw THESE



So rest assured, futuresoon , the t-shirt arrived safely and uncontaminated by fondant! I haven't done the taste comparison yet partly because my brain has melted and partly because I have bigger plans for it than just scoffing the thing and telling you all what it tasted like.

And now, a meme from oz_the_bobble :

Comment to this post and I'll give you three of your fandoms. Then copy and paste the questions into your journal and fill it out.

( She gave me Hetalia, Doctor Who and Merlin )

Number of dissertations completed and handed in: one

Sense of personal achievement: immeasurable

Times I want to read Paradise Lost again: NEVER.



That's it! One module down, only three more essays to write! (aaaand then it's on to my Master's but let's live in the moment, shall we?) I AM SO EXCITED YOU GUYS.

And now, because this is the way I celebrate things round here, a meme:

*You give me a character or pairing, and a number from 1 to 1092.
* I find the song that matches the number on my iPod library (if it's a video or a podcast I'll pick the song that's nearest your number), and write you something that incorporates both song and character/pairing.

Back home for reading week! It's great to be back, especially as Mass Effect 2 was waiting for me. Oh Commander Fem!Shepard, I don't care what Bioware says you are the number one space hero of my heart.

So, to celebrate my return, here's that meme that's been floating about.

This is a variation on the 'top five list' meme, but this time, you get to ask about the characters I write.

The questions can be silly (five times America should have kept his mouth shut), serious (five things the Fire Nation can't forget), a mixture (five trips the Doctor didn't take), meta (five fics I never wrote), or whatever else strikes your fancy. Please try to stick to characters for whom I've written substantial things, or characters about whom you know I have some kind of solid headcanon. Any fandom for which I've written is fine. Bonus points for original characters--feel free to ask twice!
