LMAO & Fic gift request
Nov. 28th, 2004 06:01 amGacked from someone on my other LJ... I had to share:
Go to Google and type in the words "Miserable Failure" and hit "I'm Feeling Lucky". Bwahahahaha!
Oh a COMPLETELY different note... I've really been in the mood to write short fics again. I already have a bunny I desperately need to and intend to write for circe... and with all my other fics I REALLY shouldn't be asking... but I've not been able to keep up with peoples' birthdays and I feel badly about that. I've been throwing the idea around in my head for the last 3 or 4 days and it's decided that it will fall out now:
If anyone wants me to write you a really short fic (like 1-3 pages) for the winter holidays, comment here with:
-Fandom (only ones I'm familiar with- ask if you're not sure if I know it)
-Pairing(s) (obviously I prefer to write slash, but I'll do my best with anything het or gen)
-General rating (and/or specific stopping points. ex: kissing but no sex... or sex but nothing graphic)
-Situations, kinks, elements, sneezing/no sneezing, etc. (feel free to specify as much as you like here because the more you include, the easier it is for me to write!)
-Which holidays you celebrate (so I know when to try and have it done. If you don't specify one, I'll post it on New Year's)
Additional things: Only one request per person (so make it a good one). If you want me to write an original character fic, I can do that, too (just specify so under fandom). I'm going to keep this offer open so long as I don't get completely bombarded with requests. I do have a real life, after all. I can't be writing 100 fics for people. And if I do get too many requests, preference goes to LJ and sneezefic group friends, obviously. And if I honestly don't think I can write your request, I reserve the right to tell you this and ask you to pick another. Okay. Yeah. I think that's it. :-)

Date: 2004-11-28 02:13 pm (UTC)As for your request- thanks for being so specific. That is absolutely do-able!
Though just to clarify (because I'm stupid), when you said "and Christmas" did you mean Christmas as in answer to my question about when you want the fic, or Christmas as part of when you want the fic set? Just wanted to make sure before I go and write the wrong thing ;-)

Just kinda fluffy, like Tats catches a cold and is at Yuki's house or something? (I had that bunny in storage, but never used it.) XD
And Christmas! :D Though, I'll be gone from Dec. 17th until Jan. 7th, so that's a good chunk of time away you'll have. Love to come home to that. Mwaha! *hearts and hugs you!*
no subject
Date: 2004-11-28 02:34 pm (UTC)I've never written Tats before... and I don't know him all that well since I've never read the manga... but I love reading the pairing and for some reason I have no moral objections whatsoever to it *VEG* So I will definitely give it a shot!! *ideas start rushing through her head* Kinda fluffy... I can do kinda fluffy :-)

Pairings: If any, then Obi/Qui of course!
So, Obi catches a cold, but it's right before like, a banquet for some foreign head of state or something, so he tries to hide it from Qui, and he sort of does, but Qui knows everything, so he keeps trying to do things like take Obi's temp and everything. er..yes.
Big heart!

Oh Numminess!
Date: 2004-11-28 02:47 pm (UTC)Fandom- *so hard to choose* LotR
Pairing- Legolas/your choice [I'd love Gimli though!]
Rating- Can it be naughty? I still love your images of a lovely naked elf on a feather bed or in the moonlight...R or higher would be great *g*
Situation- Elf sneezing please...with build ups...lots of build ups...and maybe a spanking? *blushes*
Yule/Winter solstice
You Rock tg! *hugs*

Re: Oh Numminess!
Date: 2004-11-28 02:57 pm (UTC)Hey, if I'm willing to write het for people, naughtiness is definitely doable! ;-)
As utterly stupid as this sounds, I've actually been in the mood to write a spanking into something. I've played around with it as far as Obi & Qui are concerned but nothing I've ever managed to finish. So that would be a lot of fun to write... as soon as I can figure out how to write it in there. And build-ups... absolutely. You know how much I love those.
Oh! Oh oh!!! *images start running through my head* Yes. Oh, yes. I can definitely write this. *VEG*

That would kick some serious ass - I loved your last SG-1 fic. :D
What, my ONLY SG-1 fic? heehee At least, the only one I finished and posted. I've started a half dozen.
Any rating, situation(cold/allergies?) preferences?

Not only that, but it's extra-yummy since it's the only finished SG-1 fic in the community. *wants to hug the fic to smooshy bits*
Hmm, cold fic would be preferable. Everything I'm good with, any and all ratings, off-world or on.

Date: 2004-11-28 06:45 pm (UTC)Maybe a Christmas fic where one of them is too sick to go home and the other one doesn't want to leave them or where they're both sick. I'm also thinking their first holiday together. Just a lot of cuddling and care.
Thanks

Date: 2004-11-28 07:19 pm (UTC)But... okay, if you WANTED to, and you weren't too omgI'msobusyIcan'tpossiblydothis... Wolfcrawler? Maybe? Because I love how you write the fuzzy one, and the clawed one, and you're so perfect it makes me squiggle with joy.
And because you asked so nicely for specifics, I shall bestow them upon you, form style. Har, I'm a nerd.
Fandom :: Clearly X-Men. Either comic/movie/cartoon. I don't care. Not Evo, though, because... well scary.
Pairing :: Heh. Wolfcrawler. And maybe slip in a reference to Rogue/Remy because that's just truluff?
General rating :: Hard R! Hard R! :D I'm a porn dog, what can I say?
Situations, kinks, elements, sneezing/no sneezing, etc :: Oh, okay. This is fun. Sick!Kurt because you write him so well. And Christmas!Logan, trying to cheer him up with holiday stuff. Such as a santa hat, or a candy cane. Sneezing, of course, because yum.
Which holidays you celebrate :: I celebrate Yule, and of course Christmas. So... whenever's good. *is not demanding*
And yeah, that's it. Remember, only if you really want to write it. I wouldn't be insulted if you said 'Pssh, no chance fool!" Really, I wouldn't. :D *uber!hugs*
no subject
Date: 2004-11-28 07:41 pm (UTC)Awww, I love Evo. Cowboy!Logan=yummy! But... yeah... not with that pairing- or that rating- ICK! *shudder* LOL
So I should definitely be able to handle this. Though the hardest part will definitely be Christmas!Logan. Considering series canon in that area, and all. I know deep down he's just a sweet puppy with the spirit of Christmas in his heart and all. He's just not so good at readily expressing that. So that will be a bit of a challenge. But I like a challenge. And I like the characters. And for some horrible reason (blame the pervy werewolf community) I love Christmas items in connection with sex. Yum.
Anyway... I shall do my best!

But if you do think of something I know enough about that you'd like to request, feel free to. Don't worry about me :-) Right now I have the same number of requests as the boykissing ones... and these should be quicker and easier to write. So I know what I'm getting into and it's under control :-)

Date: 2004-11-29 05:47 pm (UTC)I'm sorry to say that I'm not into the anime themed fics. It's just something I've never gotten into. I see that those types of things are very popular but I really don't like those kinds of things (don't kill me!). In that sense I suppose it's a trade off although I seem to think I got the short end of the stick which in the end is my fault since I seem to have such narrow subject matters that I like to write about.
Did that make any sense at all or was I just rambling again? LOL.
Thanks for the offer, though!

And whould would you want sneezing in the story? And any general time/season in the series you would want it set?
no subject
Date: 2004-11-29 06:58 pm (UTC)Fandom: Witch Hunter Robin or Inuyasha
Pairings: Whomever you wish, if any, preferably het. tho, since I really can't see any slash going on in either of these fandoms
General Rating: Any
Situations, kinks, elements, sneezing/no sneezing, etc...: Just some good old fashion h/c, and sneezing, DEFINATELY...cold 'fic tho, please, not allergies
Which holidays you celebrate: Christmas, but it doesn't matter to me which one you write about
Anyways, that's all! Thanks so much! Haha you're the best...good idea by the way!
no subject
Date: 2004-11-29 07:26 pm (UTC)And though I slash the Inuyasha fandom to bits in my head at times (LOL) I'd have no problem making it het for you! I dig the chicas :-)
And as far as the character sneezing... is Inuyasha okay, or is there another character you would rather have? (I have so many Kouga and Miroku bunnies in my head as well)
no subject
Date: 2004-11-30 07:56 pm (UTC)Inuyasha is just fine! I haven't actually finished the WHR series as of yet, I still have quite a few to go...I only get it on one channel and it's only on once a week, so it's taking it's time.
And as far as the character sneezing, I'd much prefer it be Inuyasha...he's such a cutie :>
Anyways, Thanks so much! Happy writing!

Date: 2004-11-30 09:34 pm (UTC)Sneezy Elf, please!
Date: 2004-11-29 09:22 pm (UTC)Now, on to my request: I'd like some sneezy sick Legolas please! (No shocker here*G*) More specifically, I want to see Legolas in formal elven robes, fighting off a miserable cold, trying to pretend he's well and go about his duties, before he's eventually forced into bed. And lots and lots of build-ups, pretty pretty please!!!
I have two scenarios I've been dying to see this played out in. I think they'd both work equally well, so I'll let you pick which you'd prefer and you can file the other one away for a later bunny if you wish.
1. Borrowing a commonly used theme for Obi-Wan, I'd like to see Legolas ill at a formal banquet with most of his friends and some of visiting dignitaries present. This can be slash or not, but I'd prefer nothing more racy than cuddling, since I want to see the elf too sick to feel like sex. (Cruel, aren't I? *G*). I'd also love it if you could include at least one hobbit in this scenario. Those guys don't get enough fic recognition, and I'd like to see how one reacts to an elf falling ill.
2. I'd love to read a prequel to your story about control, the one where Gimli faces the storm to care for Legolas. Feel free to play with the timeline and whatnot, but I'd like to see Legolas acting as Elf Lord in Ithilien while coming down with a cold. Naturally, Gimli arrives eventually to provide the sweet comfort.
*Rereads above* Whew...hope I didn't overwhelm you. I'm so sorry if you feel I'm being too picky, and if you don't like these ideas, I'll happily take whatever's offered. Thanks for letting me write down and share these little fantasies, at least!
Re: Sneezy Elf, please!
Date: 2004-11-30 10:14 pm (UTC)I'm shocked! ;-) But honestly, very pleased.
I've been thinking about both of these scenarios in great detail today while driving about... I still have not decided which to write, however. I want- and WILL write them both eventually. But which to pick for this... hrm. Can't decide. Here's my current logic, though, maybe you can help:
Scenario 2. I have all SORTS of images going through my mind about this one. It would be a breeze to write. However, if I write it the way it's playing out in my head, it's going to need at least 20 pages. Most likely, more. Plus, I need time to be creative and think about what it is Legolas would actually do as an Elf Lord. (I'm open to any and all suggestions from you on the point... because all the stuff I seem to be thinking up are things from other fics and I have to keep pushing myself away from that). So one possibility would be writing part of this- a scene or two. An abridged version of the longer story of this going through my head. I'd really rather not since I'd end up just picking the best parts and then the final, longer version would be really boring to read afterwards having already read the good moments.
Scenario 1. I'm dying to write this. But I'm nervous about it sounding like a half dozen other fics with similar ideas... I'll have to concentrate on style and try to come up with some original elements. And the hobbit... I totally agree with you and it would make for a much more interesting fic in the end. But I'm a little nervous about writing one/more than one in such a short/rushed period of time as I've SO little experience with them. But if you could maybe suggest one to use... to keep me from running around in circles trying to write one into the scene I can work with as I've been doing all day... that would be very helpful.
So, yeah, I think I'm going to have to pick #1 for this... but I do want to write both eventually! I'm still not completely decided... but my point here is, yes, absolutely, I'll write you something.
Now, give me a hobbit or two that you see in the scene. LOL!
Re: Sneezy Elf, please!
Date: 2004-11-30 11:50 pm (UTC)Me too, actually. All day long, at work or driving, I found myself daydreaming about poor Legolas...it's a wonder I got anything done today!
Ooooh! The thought of a fic that long filled with the sort of delicious images you're so good at gives me chills! Definitely take however long you need to write the fic in a way you're comfortable with...I would feel terribly badly if I rushed you, and I have complete faith in the fact that whatever you end up writing would be worth the wait.
That's a very, very good question...one that had me doing some serious thinking tonight. I suppose it would largely depend on how far after ROTK we are talking. If it's in the beginning stages of forming his colony in Ithilien, I imagine he'd be incredibly swamped with defining territory, recruiting elves to join him, planning buildings, establishing trade agreements between the elves and their mortal neighbors as well as the other remaining Elven territories, etc.
Later on, after his colony is well-established, I think his workload would decrease some and he'd make a point to try and go for rides, visit friends, etc., but it would still be necessary for him to oversee all the major decision-making processes for his people. He might hold some sort of court (though I imagine it would be much more relaxed than his father's court) and listen to petitions, settle disputes, etc. Also, he might do some work on trying to heal the wounds in the land caused by all those years of close proximity to Mordor's evil...this is one of those things that is canon; his people did this, and he helped beautify the gardens in Minas Tirith as well. How exactly they healed the land, I have no idea, but Aragorn sure was lucky he had someone to help make Ithilien all pretty again *G*
Now I'm sorry I made that comment about Obi-Wan fics. I was so hoping you wouldn't take that the wrong way. Never fear...it's a really enjoyable concept that is always welcome, and one that I don't believe I've seen done yet for LOTR fic. One of the things I think might make it differ from other fics is that I was hoping that the presence of so many of Legolas's friends might lend to a tone more of warm concern and a little bit less stiff formality... maybe have something from a different point of view, I dunno. Whatever works for you is fine for me!
As for the hobbit, again it depends on timeline. Logistically, it would be much easier to have it be Merry or Pip than try and work it around Frodo's angst or Sam's rapidly expanding family. It also makes more sense when you consider Merry's tie to Rohan and Pip's to Gondor. I do, also, harbor a secret wish to see a cheerful hobbit carrying a tray laden with goodies to tempt an elf's appetite and/or make him feel better, and present it proudly to Legolas. If that doesn't fit within the fic constraints, no problem...just file it away for future reference, along with any other plot bunny I manage to produce! Hope that helps!
Re: Sneezy Elf, please!
Date: 2004-11-30 11:57 pm (UTC)I started crying halfway through the description of the cast material on the bonus discs. Watching this DVD set is going to be an incredibly bittersweet experience. *sniffle*
Also, listed on theonering.net there's a complete spoiler-filled description of lots of the extra scenes in the EE. I skimmed over them but didn't read most of it...I want to delight in the surprise. As it is, I managed to spoil myself as to who wins the drinking game, and now I really, really wish I hadn't read it. So beware spoilers and read at your own risk!

Date: 2004-11-30 08:51 am (UTC)I was Sooooo happy that someone picked Daniel. I Love him. *squeeee!!* plus a cold fict is simply too adorable. *happy bounces*
Oh- and if you are going to make a Percy/Oliver and the person suggesting doesn't care could it please include Percy sneezing (either solo or with both). I have enjoyed your past work with those two so it should be lots of fun.
Oh- btw- Big, Big thanks for all the hard work that you do. Very very awesome offer.

Date: 2004-11-30 04:11 pm (UTC)That's fine with me if Percy's doing the sneezing...or both.

Thanks

Date: 2004-11-30 09:39 pm (UTC)I had indeed intended to make the Percy/Oliver fic one where Percy sneezes (more than Oliver). And I'm glad Birgidmn doesn't have a problem with that, either. :-)
I'm a little nervous about writing the SG1 fic as I've so little experience in the area but I'm very excited as well as we really do need more sneezy!Daniel out there!
argh--thought this went through before!
Date: 2004-12-03 03:59 pm (UTC)If anyone wants me to write you a really short fic (like 1-3 pages) for the winter holidays, comment here with:
-Fandom: Star Wars
-Pairing(s): Either a Han/Leia or a general Luke-based story from Episode V or VI
-General rating: Preferably anything G-PG13 since you know my attitude towards anything above PG13 ;)
-Situations, kinks, elements, sneezing/no sneezing, etc.: Possibly after Han's released from the carbonite? (since you're the one who pointed that scene out to me before I actually watched Ep. VI LOL) and with Luke, anything's good for me :)
-Which holidays you celebrate: Christmas
Additional things: That's about it :) Thanks a bunch! Again, let me know if it's too late for my having made the request...
Re: argh--thought this went through before!
Date: 2004-12-04 11:11 pm (UTC)Sorry your request didn't go in the first time. But I'll add yours to my list right now.
