A Safe Space for Moogles

Yes... yes.

Now I remember what it feels like. To see everything so clearly, what sparks are fanned into flame and what glorious conflagrations must follow. To feel the words flow from me like water, if I may mix my metaphors.

*embraces Optimus and Megatron and snuggles them close* Thank you, boys. ^_____^

Damn, I regret having to go to bed. Curse this weak human flesh of mine!

Because I have got to break this writer's block before I go insane. And also because I am quite frankly sick to death of my own angst.

Porn prompts especially appreciated.

Accomplished today: picked up more b.c, dropped off my Very First Art Commission at work, and finished editing my wolf-story aside from some fiddly bits with the names that I'm frankly too tired to mess with right now. (deepbluesquee and navigatorsghost, keep an eye on your inboxes. ;) )

On the other hand, this 'constant dizziness' business can go take a flying leap.

You ever write one of those scenes, step back, and realize that you needed to write it out, but it's not going to make it into the fic proper? It's like, okay, now I know what happens and how it all fits together, but I'm still a little frustrated that I put in the time and it's not going to go into my total wordcount. *grumbles and puts my Mythbuster muses away for the night*

How to prevent rape! No, for real this time.

Reason number 20394 why I love the President.

Also, I rode my bike up a Big Hill today! I was tempted to give up halfway through, but I made it all the way to the top! And then my thighs exploded and I died.

Today I had my Review at work. You know those dreams where you're about to take a test you haven't studied for? That's kind of how I felt going in. *still trying to untangle the knots in my stomach, argh*

...Turns out they love me and think I'm fabulous. ^_^ And apparently I'm going to get a small token raise, which I will not turn up my nose at! So after a couple of errands I took myself out to lunch to celebrate today. Om nom Pei Wei lettuce wraps. :DDD ...And I've gotten some writing done over the past couple of days, so bonus. For example, from last week's round of porn_battle:

Wheeljack/Perceptor: simple was best, but unbearably complex was a lot more fun. Rated R for robots. ;P

(I wanted to do an FFVII prompt as well, but everything I wrote kept coming out too near domestic abuse for comfort. :\ Maybe some other time.)

Well, it took several months, but I finally wrote a complete original short story during my downtime at work. ...Well, the very rough draft, anyway, but like I say, I take my victories where I can find them. ^_^;; I'm tentatively calling it "Wolves of Eternal Night." It's a vaguely swords-and-sorcery-type story, about a wolf who is sometimes human-shaped and the magic conflict that made her that way. It needs a lot of work before I'm ready to let other people see it, but if you'd like me to keep you in mind for a beta, let me know. :D

...On the other hand, sprinkink's calling for prompts again, and that just reminds be of the five prompts I totally warked out on last round. -_- I fail.

This doesn't imply promises, you understand. Just... willingness to be inspired.

The "You Should Write..." Meme!
my thread here
(on LJ, natch)

I'm getting back into the writing groove again. Slowly. In fits and starts. Clearly my writerbrain runs on diesel.

Have a silly short thing, kind of an omake to Myths Jamie and Adam Never Busted. ( In which Optimus is introduced to America's national pastime... no, the other one. )

I've also written a couple of other short things in various places. I'm mostly linking them here so I remember to throw them onto DW at some point.
FFVII AU with tentacles, birthday fic for chibirisuchan.
Megatron/Sam for porn_battle, also with tentacles and holy shit I just picked up on that theme. Ahahaha, I are the dumb. Also, this fic is decidedly non-con and Not At All Right, so.

Also, someone please please MST this. It's got it all: mpreg, gratuitous rape, OOC, Oh The Drama, terrible grammar and spelling errors and some srsly bad writing. The worst part is, I could really go for some crack like this if it was only written well. XD

I've forgotten how to wriiiiite. *whines*

Tomorrow I'm going to start writing again. I will. *firm nod*

So my mom comes home and goes "I got us tickets to Transformers! I am the best mom ever! :DDDD!" And she is, but then I had to tell her that I'm already going with some friends on Saturday. (She was too thrilled about me having friends to be disappointed, her lack of interest in giant robots notwithstanding.)

Also, given the speed at which I write, this is kind of comforting.

No sooner do I overcome my common sense and express interest in becoming a writer for GirlGamer.com, than I get an email inviting me to a Power Rangers RP. And it's one that I was contemplating before, so I already have a character in mind, but oh god I can't take on even one more thing. Let alone two. My brain, you guys. My poor braaaaiiiin. ;_;

...speaking of my poor brain and being stretched thin. I don't have either springkink fic written that's due tomorrow, and I need to go to bed soon 'cause I have work at seven AM tomorrow. I... think at least one's gonna be late. *whimperthud*

( Aaaand some fandom-related angstmongering, just to round things out. )

/whine

But, if you are so inclined...

THE ANONYMOUS WRITING FEEDBACK MEME

(on lj)

In other news, guys, the TF Kink Meme actually broke the comment barrier. They're going to have to make another one. How wild is this? XD I love my fandom, really I do. We're a bunch of raging pervs.

This makes me want to write pooooorn. To celebrate. Not that I haven't been writing it at work already, of course.

It's a rite of passage. Like menarche. And the results are about as pretty, too.

( Facets of the Fractal Jewel )

...uh, yeah. *hides under blanket* If that's not your cup of tea, here, have some cute baby fennec foxes. Those ears! *hearts*

Thanks, everyone, for your kind words yesterday. I feel a bit better now. ...Well. More able to deal with this, at least, which is not exactly the same thing.

Good things about today:
- My boss pulled me aside and told me that I was doing a good job. I managed to hold in my squee until I was alone... except for the cats, and they probably think I'm nuts now. XD So, nothing new there.
- I got Inspired for a short comic, which I've been wanting to do for a while. Details forthcoming, maybe.
- I ordered a couple boxes of Girl Scout cookies. ^_^
- Leg warmers, omg. Why did they ever go out of style? They are LOVE. *toasty calves and ankles right now, yaaaay!*
- President Obama (*brief squee break*) is already getting the ball rolling on shutting down Gitmo and setting ethics standards. Jolly jumping Primus, the man does not waste time.
- This meme:

The first five people (edit: or more, if I feel like it) to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make.
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year.
- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a poem, or something else written. I might sew, color, or take a specific picture. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure! Also, not me!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

Keep in mind that I have an LJ too, so if you're the fifth person to comment here, you still might not be the Fifth Person. ...Though you still might get a Something. On that note, once I'm done with said Something, I'll want to let you know via email, so drop your email addy here if I don't already have it. (If we don't email regularly, assume I don't. *is disorganized*)

It's not as if there's anything else going on in my life right now. ;P Another writing meme!

The Microfic Meme
Try to write different categories of fic (angst, fluff, UST, etc) in one sentence or five.

The original concept seems to be that I just do whatever in this exercise - but let's have some fun. Give me a character/series/pairing/kumquat and I'll fill out the categories for you.

Angst
AU
Crackfic
Crossover
Death
Episode Related
First Time
Fluff
Humor
Hurt/Comfort
Smut
UST

You all know my fandoms, but just in case, they're listed in my interests. ;) To start us off, here's some Turtlefic, because a throwaway comment from (lj)poptartodoom inspired me. ^_^

( Turtle power! )

Or something pervy, either way. And speaking of the weekend- zomg so glad it's the weekend. *flopthud*

Anyway, my wingthing (see my default icon on LJ - that's her) has been making sad eyes at me, but I knew I'd never get her story written down anywhere near coherent. Soooo, I cheated and did the 50 sentences thing. ;) This is theme set Delta, but I rearranged the sentences into a rough chronological order.

( Read on! )

Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to (lj)psychokitty013: the newest member of the Mythbusters Club! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! *lightningflash*

...ahem. Look, I take my victories where I can find them.

( Mythbusters versus Transformers, 26-50 )

In other news, girly cramps suck, heating pads are yay, and there's a park in South Korea dedicated to phalluses. All of these things are Things You Need To Know, but may not be related otherwise.

But before that, further to my last post, adding two new goals. First, update my website and get it on a regular update schedule (once a month should be plenty), and second, stop falling down the stairs. x_x

Anyway. Taking a page from vani_nessa's book, I'm doing the 50_sentences thing without actually signing up. Soooo, have 25 snippets of not-necessarily-canon explodey goodness for Five Myths Jamie and Adam Never Busted. From theme set Epsilon.

( You're welcome. )

#26-50 coming tomorrow, unless I fall down the stairs again.

Need a Mythbusters icon.

Because goals are something you work towards, not something you lay around and feel guilty that you're not doing. And I'm having one of those fat-ugly-worthless lives days, so I have to do something to snap me out of it. So. Lists. Lists of Things. Things to Do. Yes. *nods.*

Crochet
- Corset: get it done this month, in a fashion that doesn't leave me scrambling for my camera at 2359 hours Jan 31. -_- (Shouldn't be hard, the pieces work up pretty quickly, but I need to leave some wiggle room in case the experimental bits don't work out like I want.)
- Naked Ultra Magnus (x2) for Ravyn: will probably take longer, but my goal is March 1. Even though there's two, it shouldn't take as long as Perceptor did because I have a little better idea of what I'm doing.
- At least three pieces for when I debut my Etsy shop, goal April 1. Considering how many half-finished projects I have floating around, that shouldn't be too hard.

Writing
- Five Myths Jamie and Adam Never Busted: get it done by summer, dammit. It's been floating around way too long. I don't know if the fic itself deserves better, but the concept certainly does.
- The Rose Bearer: mostly finished by the end of the year. Of course, I said that last year too and I wrote about, uh, one chapter. All year. It's completely ridiculous when I already know basically how it's going to go. *headdesk*
- On Broken Wings: ...I don't like the name anymore. Also, finish the new chapter.
- At least one short story/comic: published by the end of the year.

Video Games
- Final Fantasy 9: best game I never finished.
- Final Fantasy 12: or by the time I beat it, all the good fanfic authors will have moved on.
- Transformers: both the DS game and the Wii game by the time the new movie comes out

Health
- Join that tai chi place I keep driving by; Mom's promised to pay for it already, it's just on me to get off my ass.
- Some kind of regular aerobic exercise (DDR Hottest Party if I can get it or con my parents into getting it, for preference)

Life
- Get a frakkin' job


.....I may be setting myself up for failure, here. *staaaaaares at list* o_o
