06:17 pm - New Fic! And asking for a helping hand...
Well, okay, maybe not a hand. Something... Anyway, i'm sure a number of people on my flist are familiar with [info]piratepurple, who writes Teh Spander and is an overall 'spiffy person'. Well, she has a daughter, who has the opportunity to go away to *Rome* with her class. Her daughter is 12, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing, you know?

Anyway, [info]tsavoritegarnet and i were talking, and hoping that the vast network of luuuuurve that is lj could help out. By donating fic, or simply donating, or tossing out ideas about fundraising - anything. I, myself, would happily write fic for this. Of a certain kind. ANYway...check out this post, it has all the info, and lots more details. This isn't a 'omg, we need this now, now, now!!!' kind of thing, but the sooner the better, you know? I hope this can work! I wish i wasn't broke. But i hoor my talents out!

Go here and see what's what:Fly Me To Rome.

In fic news, there is a Supernatural writer whom i greatly enjoy reading. Today is [info]poisontaster's birthday, and i wrote fic for her! It's SPN, gen for now - not *quite* finished. It's a kind of speculative AU thing, wherein we wonder 'what would things have been like if Sam's 'powers' had manifested from babyhood?'

Enjoy!

08:32 pm - Neverland update!!! At last!! Chapter thirteen...*s/x*
I know! I am so terrible, making you all wait so long. But...i just had so much trouble writing this past two or three weeks. Dunno - maybe the holiday and such just got me all...discombobulated. I'm gonna have pictures from that up soon... :)

Anyway - snow! Ice! Cooooold temperatures! At least we're having some *winter* weather. And to hear the weathermen talk, it's like 'the end is nigh'!! People - please. We've had mild winters, but we haven't like - evolved past being able to survive them! Sheesh. It's just a little *snow*. And ice.
*rolls eyes*

Anyway - my undying and most sincere thank you to [info]reremouse for unflagging support and beta-work and for always telling me the truth. And to [info]darkhavens, as well, for helping me over a little hump. And Snow!! You always cheer me on - and up. *smoooooch*

One. More. To go. :)

10:26 pm - Grrrrrrrrr! Arrrrrrrgh!!!
Okay, man - i tell ya. I'm *sick* of freakin' hackers and viruses and shite like that! Grrrrrrr.

Anyway - i have a step-bro-in-law whom i like, and i got a yahoo message from him. Just a link, which i clicked, 'cause i figured it was pictures of his kids. It took me to a yahoo photo page where i had to sign in, like always, and now - oh joy! Same link coming to me from Cat's ym, and going to other folk on his list of ym contacts, and it's a virus! Sheesh.

So gods know if i have it. Anyway, a little searching makes it seems it'll snag your yahoo password and such and send it on and then someone *else* can snag and seems people have lost accounts.
So!

If you see this - don't click!! geocities.com/angelz.light or some variation thereof from me on yahoo or anyone *else* on yahoo - ignore! Report! Maybe even change your password, just to be sure.
Gaaaaaaah!

Bad enough some lame-ass hackers got into World of Warcraft a key-logged bunches of passwords and cleaned out a bunch of people's characters' stuff...and deleted some characters! Why do people have to be so lame and malicious?

Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Anyway - another, happier, fic-filled post soon!

07:38 pm - Free stuff! And fic...
Heh. This is a slightly weird post, even for me. Okay - i have a pair of brand new jeans. Women's Levi's. Worn once, washed twice. They are just *too big*, and i don't have the receipt, and i cut off the sale tags. I'm so lame.

So, the tag inside says 'Levi stretch low-rise boot cut', and they're regular length, not long or petite. Ummmmm....size 12, but man - they're *big*, and i *am* a twelve, so... If you want me to measure the waist, i will. Anyway - they're free to a good home. Dark-blue, no fancy stitching or glitter or anything crazy like that. Boot cut, i know, but man - i can't seem to find *anything* else.

Also - on my flist, [info]marishna issued a Supernatural Picture Prompt challenge, which i decided to do. The fic, the prompt, and the link to the other stories are all here: The Red Shoes.

Enjoy!


ETA: They are mailed!

05:06 pm - Neverland - Chapter Twelve... *s/x*
Hello!
*waves* I'm so...boring lately. Only posting when i update, not talking at all...sheesh! It's a wonder anybody's still on my flist.

But! I did get to enjoy a lovely, lovely visit from [info]sweptawaybayou and her daughter [info]sixteen_letters. We strolled around a nearby cemetery, had *bread*, watched a couple movies and talked. About fandom. Wheeeeeeee! Always the absolute best, to just hang out with Snow and chatter. I luffs her.
:)

Today is [info]pretties_4u's birthday! Happy, happy birthday! *loves*

And ummmm...what else? OH! Yis. [info]reremouse has posted another part of her sublime, as yet untitled Xander/Larry fic. Really, really worth checking out. For the snark, for the babble, for the angst. For the slash! Wheeee!
Go, read, comment, love.

04:56 pm - Neverland! Chapter Eleven...*s/x*
Oh, finally! I've felt so odd not posting Spander, and *not* posting this! Heh. I hope you all remember where we are and what's going on... Sorry i left it so long!

Cold and rainy here today - perfect weather! And tomorrow - the vote! I want one of those 'I voted' images to stick in my lj again... I'll need to go look through my old posts and find it.

Anyway - as always, thank you [info]reremouse for your time and effort. Enjoy!

04:43 pm - Halloween! Pic-Spam!
Yis, i know. It's over! Heh. But i have pictures! So, i share. Really not very dial-up friendly, sorry.

First - my mum. With the Monstrous Bebe.
Mum thinks *snerk* is really funny.

Now - the Pirates! Older Brother - in red headscarf - did a ridiculous 'drunken Scots pirate' accent all night.
Yo ho ho.

My little brother...
He did the teeth himself! Heee...

Of course, it all started...with Dear Old Dad.

See my fantastic hat? It's Nanny Ogg! Or perhaps...Mrs. Cake... Yes, i'm wearing a thermal under the black shirt. It was *cold*!

The Motely Crue - er - Crew.

And...the Aftermath! No, Monstrous did *not* go out with her bare belly under that top. We forced her to wear a thermal shirt and long underwear. She was not a happy camper.


Well, that is all. Pic-spam post! Heh. Not terribly exciting, i know, but...it's my journal! Mine!
*la*

05:23 pm - Thou born to match the gale, (thou art all wings,) Chapter five...
Hallo!

Well, we just got back from a visit to my folks. So fun! We - my two brothers, my sort-of-sis-in-law, me, [info]pretties_4u the cousins and a family friend and his son all dressed up and we went out to get teh candy! It was a blast. Four pirates, two witches, a 'bat queen' a harem girl, and a 'construction worker' *snerk*, and the white-face guy from scream. My oldest brother was a rowdy 'Scottish' pirate, yelling remarks down the block and handing out 'pirate gold' - we had such fun! Despite the temperature! Heh. Pictures to follow soon.

And now - the next bit of this. So glad some of you on my flist are giving this a chance and reading it!

Uber-early entry today 'cause we're not gonna be here again until tomorrow. So, to my flist - have a most Merry Samhain/Happy Halloween! Don't invite any strangers in and salt your doorways!

*eyes sky*
I kinda for once hope for *no* rain. Trick or treating in the rain isn't very fun. There will be pictures when we get back! Heee.

04:15 pm - Thou born to match the gale, (thou art all wings,)... SPN fic - part one
Hullo! Yes, a new fic. Not Spander, though - just so you all know ahead of time. Doesn't mean i'm abandoning my boys! Like I said in an earlier post...Spike and Xander are just going to have to scootch up a little and make room on the fandom couch for Sam and Dean. Heh.

Anyway, this is a finished fic that's going to be posted every day or so until it's done, but don't worry - 'Neverland' is going to be posted too!
Adult, as always. Enjoy!

The title is from 'To the Man-of-War-Bird' by Walt Whitman. Pretentious? Very possibly, but it felt right. :)

Many, many, many thanks to the lovely [info]reremouse for her steadfast re-re-re-reading and to [info]darkhavens. What would i do without you? And to [info]sweptawaybayou, 'cause she bounced and squeed all over this. *smooooooch*





Chapter One )





The bit of Latin is from this exorcism ritual: 'Exorcismale'. PDF.

07:51 pm - Neverland! Chapter Ten...*s/x*
Yes, finally, more. Sorry my schedule for this got all wonky. And...wow, i have like - *nothing* to report. Just...very dull, me. And really - i don't think you all want to hear about the weather and fuzzy socks *again*. Heh.

I might be getting a cold. *sniffle*

I'm sure many, many of you have seen this, but it bears reposting - opt-out lj feed and syndication info. Thanks to [info]darkhavens and a few others for all the links and instructions.

[info]reremouse gave this the once-over, as always. Thank you thank you! She also posted part four of 'Small Imperfections' which, really - i cannot recommend highly enough.
Food, drink, dead guy. Good times.

03:15 pm - Neverland! Chapter nine...yes, finally! *s/x*
I have been remiss! Also, distracted. Working on another story and it's really just *eluding* me. So frustrating. But this! It just poured right out, easy as pie. Guess i need to spend a little more time in Neverland!

And people on my flist reporting snow!! Oh, so jealous! It hasn't frozen here yet, but soon, or so they say. *longs*

Thanks for being so patient, everybody.
And thanks, [info]reremouse for the usual.

10:24 pm - Neverland....chapter eight! *s/x*
My my, what a day! Crazy goings-on with livejournal and all this nonsense about 'sponsored communities'...gah!

I swear, LJ is just becoming so damn annoying. Read the post linked in that one to get the full story. Sheesh.

Chilly again, rainy a little, things that make me *happy*! I'm wearing my flannel pj pants! I'm huddling over the space heater in the mornings when the Monstrous Bebe gets ready for school! All, all good.

Speaking of the Monstrous Bebe...clickity to see her school picture. OMG, she's just... Way too pretty and grown-up and...*smart*. Help!! *Yis, i'm bragging. I get to do that, i'm her mum!*

Anyway - more Neverland! Sorry for the delay. Life...happens. :)

Thanks, as always, to [info]reremouse for her excellent poking and prodding and back-and-forthing. And you guys!! You rock. Feedback on 'Drowning Not Waving' is just...awesome!
