[livejournal.com profile] remixthedrabble recs!

[livejournal.com profile] remixthedrabble is going live (Whoniverse and Jossverse fics have been posted so far), and I kind of love this challenge. I had to drop out of writing for it, because of the combination of move and Gwen's meltdown (I could have dealt with one of those, but not both in combination).

However, there are still some fantastic fics being written, including some for me. I figured I'd toss some recs at you - they're drabbles, which makes them quick reads, and I'd definitely recommend checking them out! (There are other good fics I didn't rec, and I've only read the Whoniverse fics so far, but these are my favorites.)

Cut, because this gets long... )

And a couple remixes of my fics!
Torchwood: And You, My Love, Are Gone (The Promise Not to Promise Remix)
Original Fic: And You, My Love, Are Gone
Suzie/Tosh, during "Everything Changes". This is heartbreaking and chilling all at once. The Suzie voice is not the same as my usual, but it's completely believable, and the final image keeps making me wibble.

BtVS: Depth Perception (The Pursuit of Happiness Remix)
Original Fic: Misery and Happiness
Xander/Buffy, post-S7. The Buffy voice is awesome, and the fic brought a smile to my face, even though it's kind of sad. The little touches here are wonderful.

I kept my whole life in a suitcase, never really stayed in one place...

So, for those of you who missed seeing it on [livejournal.com profile] starletfallen's journal, we'll be moving to Ithaca, NY around the beginning of October. I am partly absolutely thrilled about this, because OMG East Coast and New York, I missed you, and even if it's not my city, it's close enough for visits and there is a [livejournal.com profile] jaeled there and hey, another road trip when I've been getting wanderlust like crazy lately...

On the other hand, I'm more than a little heartbroken. I don't want to leave Jaqui, I just... Arizona is not the place I need to be, and I don't believe in staying for a person, even someone I love so fucking much.

...also, this means I'll be travelling on my birthday. I don't know if this is a good thing or terrifying. For those who don't know, I have a birthday curse second only to Buffy's. I've never had demon arms inna box or anything, but I do tend to end up in broken down cars a hundred miles from home. So. Heh. Um.

Then again, this road trip probably won't take as long as the last one, without so many long stopovers and snowstorms and concussions, so... Maybe we'll already be there by my birthday.

I keep wavering between bouncing ecstatically and wanting to burst into tears, so I think I'm just gonna drink my coffee, nest in the Doctor's playlist, finish voting for [livejournal.com profile] writerinadrawer and... yeah. This happydepressed mood is confusing as hell, and I have no idea what to do with it.

"So that they can buy rocketpacks and... go to the moon and... become florists..."

1. I HAS A VAL NAO. ...I've actually had a Val for a few days now, but I've been... failing at updating. I MISSED HER. AND SHE IS AWESOME.

2. The Rift is breaking my soul. More and more and more. But this plot of doom will be over soon, and then I can has OT3 cuddles, so all is well. (I'm kind of hoping that the Doctor's part of it will be over within the next two or three days. Can that be my birthday present from the Rift? OT3 cuddlepiles?)

3. I kinda spent all day setting up a new layout for [livejournal.com profile] thatsortofaman, because the old one was bothering me. ...And then the Doctor's layout sort of accidentally ate mine, so I had to make a new one for me... The header of one is awesome and I can't stop staring at it, and the header of the other breaks my heart. Both of these things make me happy.

4. RIZZY HAS A LAPTOP ZOMG I MISSED HER. Yes, this was totally worthy of squee in my journal.

5. Since Val has gotten here, we've been running through Doctor Who/Torchwood canon, as she has never seen it before. It's awesome - I kinda forgot how cool it is to run through a well-loved canon with someone who's brand new to it. We're through S2 (and The Runaway Bride) and just starting on Torchwood S1. Because I'm obsessive about Whoverse chronology and its proper order.

6. Faith Lehane and the Doctor? SO MUCH FUN TO PLAY WITH. Yeah, Evie and Val and I decided a random RPverse with crossovery companions was necessary. Doctorgod and Jack are also fun to play with, but in a way that makes me whimper because their story only ends in pain and BAD.

7. I CANNOT STOP COUGHING. It hurts my chest and throat and BAH. Florida, I hate you. Or, you know, maybe I just have an immune system made of FAIL that would be acting up no matter where I live. Still. Not happy.

8. ...I don't know. I kinda just wanted an even number. Though why a multiple of five isn't just as good, I'm not sure... I have coffee! That's... really my only excuse.

I figure that once upon a time I was an ocean...

I'm thinking about cutting my hair again, because... even though it's getting to where I can pull it back now, it's touching the back of my neck even when I do, and it's both bothering me and freaking me out. I don't know why, because it never used to bother me, but... eh. For whatever reason, now it is.

Earlier today a song came on my iTunes that... I guess I haven't listened to since I left the city. I don't even remember now which song it was or anything, but it came on, and about halfway through it made something click in my brain and for a second I was walking down the stairs to the subway at Christopher Street, and it hurt. The city's the first place I've really felt like I belonged for... years now. Feeling at home... that's a big deal for a military brat who's been moving around the country half her life. And I miss it.

And looking back, it was probably just as much or more that I had a good support system there and a group of friends I could trust with absolutely anything than the city itself, but I had to leave all of it really abruptly, and it's all one thing in my head. The city and the people and knowing what I was doing with my life and... everything.

We're moving to Arizona soon. In a few months. There is at least one good friend out there, and could possibly be more in the future, so that will help. (It will also help that it is not Florida, a place I have hated since the first time I moved here in my sophomore year.) I just want to be home again, instead of just someplace I'm staying. The nice thing about being a military brat is that it tends not to matter where, geographically, home is. The trouble is finding it.

And... I don't know... have a meme! (Kittens.)

Look at your LJ userpics list. If you have fewer than twenty icons, post them all. If you have between twenty and fifty icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five icons, pick every tenth one. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, and what significance it has.

In which I ramble... often about more than just the icon... )

"Happy hunting." "Wish me monsters."

More icons for my RP characters, this time for Buffy. Because it is impossible to find icons of a specific character on most Buffy icon communities, much less a specific character from a specific season. Yes, even the main character. Blah.

You say you love me, love me again...

It is Evie's birthday. She is 22 now. Meaning... ancient. (I LOVE YOU, EVIE.) Happy birthday, baby.

We've been playing a Buffy drinking game with season seven all day. Meaning, I've been in a pleasant buzz since about 5 PM.

Important points of today include:
- Realizing Evie and I really ship Anya/Willow in S7. Like... really, really hard. We haven't watched S7 a lot, but watching it now... Jesus fuck they are shippy. And we prefer them to Willow/Kennedy. So.
- Annie ([livejournal.com profile] ourowndragons, Rift Annie) really reminds us of Anya. And realizing this, we came up with an awesome plot for Annie and oh it is going to be so fun. Yay, demon angst!
- Sam is getting his Torchwood Four and OMG IT IS FULL OF GLEE! Revan and Juliet have been recruited, Marshall has arrived and Tosh will soon tell Sam in no uncertain terms that he needs Marshall, and YAY. It's weird, because I keep forgetting that Torchwood Four doesn't exactly exist in Torchwood canon. I have to remind myself that no, Sam/Jack is not canon, and no, Juliet cannot replace Owen in S3 because Juliet is from a totally different universe and... yes.
- Those of you I owe tags for with the Doctor and Romana? You will get them... probably tomorrow. I need to be able to think to play either of them, and it's not working so well right now.

And I totally fail at writing lately. I don't know why, and it really annoys me. I'm trying to decide whether I actually can write now, or whether I'm just slightly too tipsy to manage anything coherent. Hmm.

Also, someone clarify for me that there is no Doctor Who today? That seems to be the case, from both TVTorrents and the BBC website, I just want to... doublecheck.

"Yes, that's exactly the most appalling thing you could have said."

Saundra, being wonderful and awesome, gave me and Evie her old DVD player, since ours is full of hate. I just discovered today that it can play the Buffy and Angel discs that Val gave us before we left Long Island. (Making my downloading of S3 of Buffy for RP purposes earlier this week a little pointless, but whatever!) Naturally, the first thing I decide to watch is "Hush". While Evie is gone. And it is dark outside. It's, like, five minutes in and I'm already freaked out, as usual. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

Evie and I are going to a movie later tonight when she gets home, as her mother gave her money so there could be some sort of going out for her birthday. Yes, we are actually getting out of the house. It's amazing. Before that happens, though, I need to eat something, hopefully get in a few tags, write a thing... alright, maybe the writing can wait until after we get home, but still.

Also, [livejournal.com profile] writerinadrawer is voting. Torchwood people? I would love you if you could go vote. It's anonymous, so if you vote me out I won't be able to hold it against you. Story posts are here and here, voting post is here. ♥

To the names of our wounds, we send the same blood back from the war...

The post that follows is long, rambly, and bounces from one subject to another kind of randomly. You have been warned.

I spent a while posting some old (meaning from October) Academyverse and City Magic stuff up on [livejournal.com profile] followedmystar, so... those of you who have it friended? Sorry if I spammed you. There are some drabbles from [livejournal.com profile] writing_game I'm thinking about posting too - from City Magic, Academyverse, and some verses I never developed - whenever I can decide whether or not I want to post them all in big chunks, divided up by verse, or post them separately, so I can link them more easily on my story catalog.

Speaking of which! Yes! I have a story catalog for [livejournal.com profile] followedmystar! Mostly because... I'm neurotic... and I'd lose my mind if things weren't in chronological order somewhere... Um. Anyway.

I need to scribble up some quick profiles for characters from On a Saturday. I've got all the constants, but only one DMA agent, which is a problem, considering the DMA wants to be the focus of the novel. So. I should do that.

My other verses need cast lists, too, but I'll get around to that later.

Before I do any of the above, I need to take some aspirin in hopes that the headache of doom leaves me alone. It's one of the ones I wake up with, which are always the most persistent and annoying. *Grumblegrowl* So yes. Aspirin (well, ibuprofen - we don't have aspirin anymore because we don't like hospital visits for Evie), and then watching S2 Buffy(because I'm finally getting around to pulling Buffy through canon in the Inn again).

I'd watch some more of The Dean Winchester Show Supernatural, except that Evie has forbidden me to do so without her. Esther, this is all your fault.

Totally unrelated to any of the above? THIS SONG. I adore this song. Right about now, this song is the sole reason I need to finish the fic in which I break Martha to bits, just so that I can write the story that comes after that fic, which was completely inspired by this song. It is just so PRETTY and really painful when you connect it to the story but OH. YES.

"You must have one well-lit apartment, because lady, you turned a corner somewhere."

'Cause I... really can't help myself. I'm only gonna offer up the characters that are likely to be talkative now, so it's definitely missing a few of my headvoices, but...

Gather all your RP journals, list the characters and any AU versions you RP. Open the post to the public so even lurkers can ask the muses questions. Respond with that RP account.

The list! )

I don't even know how some of the things I wrote match the prompts they were written for. It was late. It made sense at the time.

Also, the Rent thing is totally [livejournal.com profile] enterincolor's fault, though she doesn't remember it. We totally had a conversation about Maureen being April's cousin and Mark meeting her at April's funeral. It just... never happened until now. Evil [livejournal.com profile] enterincolor.
