Scribulations

Nabbed from sally_maria - Lyrics Meme!

My itunes did its best to embarrass me forever, but anyway ;) I HAVE COOL SONGS TOO.

1. Open up your music player. Hit shuffle.
2. Record the first few lines of the first 20 songs that come up that do not give away the name of the song. Skip instrumentals, but don't skip the embarrassing ones.
3. Make hapless journal denizens guess the song names and artists. Google is cheating. For musical songs, the name of the musical is acceptable in place of the artist.
4. Least hapless journal denizen wins admiration. That's right, just like a lobbyist in budget season, the points don't matter.

1. Just a smile and the rain is gone, can hardly believe it, yeah.
2. I may not always love you, but as long as there are stars above you.
3. Come stop your crying, it will be all right, Just take my hand, hold it tight.
4. Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some stubborn leaves.
5. Strange as it may seem, I once had my football dreams.
6. Mother mother, tell your children, that their time has just begun, I have suffered for my anger, there are wars that can’t be won.
7. I never knew, I never knew that everything was falling through.
8. Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start.
9. There’s magic in the air this evening, magic in the air, the world is at her best, you know, when people love and care.
10. You’re not alone, together we stand, I’ll be by your side, you know I’ll take your hand.
11. Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl.
12. I touch the fire and it freezes me, I look into it and it’s black.
13. I wanted your love, but look what it’s done to me, all my dreams have come to nothing, who would have believed.
14. Oceans apart, day after day, and I slowly go insane.
15. Wake up you sleepy head, put on some clothes, shake off your bed.
16. I hear the steel drums sing their song, they’re singing man you know you’ve got it wrong.
17. If you want to leave, I won’t beg you to stay, and if you got to go darlin’, maybe it’s better that way.
18. It may have been Camelot for Jack and Jacqueline, but on the Che Guevara highway, filling up with gasoline.
19. Talking to myself and feeling old, sometimes I’d like to quit, nothing ever seems to fit.
20. Lully lullay, thou little tiny child, by by lulla lullay.

Ok, I have had a crap day and my stomach hurts and I have to drive 40 odd miles tomorrow SO I am reposting this character meme I have seen on my flist a few times the past couple of days. It looks like it could be fun :) :)

Character meme.

Comment with a character and I will tell you...

1. How I feel about this character.
2. All the people I ship romantically with this character.
3. My non-romantic OTP for this character.
4. My unpopular opinion about this character.
5. One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon.

Things I will be able to comment on include: Merlin, Doctor Who (classic and new), Harry Potter, the Tortall books, Star Wars, Firefly, The Eagle of the Ninth, Jane Austen novels, Anne of Green Gables, and The Tudors (yes, this is just an excuse for some history stuff).

::curls up around hot water bottle and waits for death and/or chocolate::

Ok, I am going to jump on the bandwagon and post the DVD commentary meme here, just in case anyone has any fics of mine they would like to hear about. I figure I have 50+ fics posted now so there might be one in there somewhere.

Name one of my fics in the comments and I will tell you what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the characters' heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

Rather than a proper full commentary (because I am supposed to be writing fic today and don't want to let myself procrastinate TOO much - I know what I'm like!!), I'll just reply in the comments with why, what's going on, and probably What I Think Will Happen Next ;) It can be a fic, specific scene, a question about how Mini Merlin keeps his figure after all that Easter chocolate, I really don't mind - it just looked like fun :D

I hope everyone is having a good Tuesday!

So, it seems when I created a Fic Masterpost for my journal I was in fact birthing a monster who proceeded to BLOCK all my consequent posts from appearing on people’s Flists. Thankfully, Ven beat back the monster with the power of Computer Competence, and then advised me to make a quick post with all my recent updates listed on it.

So here goes, since the Fic Masterpost Monster was born I have posted,

A Christmas Cracker Fic to go along with my Merry Christmas post to everyone. Which, er, many people obviously didn’t see. But MERRY CHRISTMAS anyway, hope you had a great one.

My attempt at the End of Year Fic Meme that has been going around, wherein I discover I have spent my year mainly writing Merlin fanfiction.

Two prompt fics,

The Journal of Geoffrey the Cat. Aged 3 years and 5 months— 1,822 words. (Merlin/Arthur)

Sea Voyage— 932 words. (Merlin/Arthur).

And lastly, two more parts in my Karaoke Gang modern AU - of which The Cure All, with the sad Merlin being cheered up by Kinder Eggs, was the third part. There is another part to come – the camping trip that ipodgirly and gerric asked about seeing in their comments to The Cure All. I just need to finish it off! These are all from Gwen’s POV and are Gwen/Morgana, with background (but quite vocal) Arthur/Merlin. All PG rated at most.

The order is,

Clouds In My Coffee— 1,895 words. In which Gwen is working late in the library, but she's not as forgotten as she thinks she is.

Perfect Fit— 2,184 words. In which Gwen finally makes it to the Slug and Lettuce, intent on a quiet night out before Christmas. But the rest of the gang have other plans. BEWARE THE CHEESY SONGS (there are links).

The Cure All— 1,800. In which Merlin has had a bad day and needs cheering up. Luckily for him, he has Gwen and Arthur.

I think that’s everything!
