| [FIC] Batman - Batman/Joker - The Frayed Ends |
[Nov. 20th, 2009|05:31 pm] |
Spam! Wrote this not long after TDK came out but never posted it. Since the evil twin just wrote Joker/Scarecrow with similar elements, I knew I had to post it as the same time as hers or I'd never do it. Team Porn does Arkham. Arharhrh.
The Frayed Ends
Batman. Batman/Joker. R. ~1000 words. Nolanverse. Violence.
Darkness gathers into a swarm around them and Bruce doesn’t want to let the bastard take one more goddamn breath.

Just a little something to get me in the groove for doing homework. Done without access to my usual brushes so there are several big things that make me go DDDD:, but I didn't want to spend more than an hour on this. Warmup means warmup, Pondy.

Attended a benefit dinner last night with J, maiki, and Susan for a non-profit that we've done a lot of work for. Materials that both Susan and I had designed were all over the place and it was really nice to see it all out and looking snazzy. Susan's done a lot to get their informational materials/reports looking clean and professional. I did the benefit's programs, invites, and carried over from last year was a set of promotional posters which I'm still proud of. The project, per usual, made me gnash my teeth at times, but I do enjoy working for them, and it was flattering when people whom I didn't expect compliments from told me they were impressed by the invitations in particular. :D Leading up I had this worry about the pagination on the program booklet since I worked entirely remotely and never saw a proof (or even had time to run one myself!) but everything turned out beautifully and typo-free. By this point, I've done enough recent work to have a solid design portfolio again, so with so few classes left ahead of me it's nice to have that in addition to what's shaping up to go on my reel.
I didn't mingle much, as J and I were introduced to some great people early on and there was no incentive to bother straying away from the interesting conversation to rub elbows with people outside my industry. It was somewhat fascinating attending something like this after so long, and also after now having worked on catering from the serving end! The appetizers, by the way, were awesome. I wish we offered some of them on our own menu, especially the warm cranberries and almonds in phyllo cups. Yum.
My shoes were remarkably comfortable. I haven't worn actual heels in forever and it's nice to confirm that my knee can handle hours standing around in 3" heels. |

I just renamed the files on teland because a rather gratitude-inducing individual informed me that -- somehow -- it got indexed on google, which... no.
WORLD OF NO.
I -- look. It could be as simple as the fact that I've been using my gmail to point people to the story, but I would like to ask -- *beg* -- that those of you who have read the thing *not link it anywhere*. At all. Yes, that includes del.icio.us, nalasalad2. And maybe don't write out the links in your google apps?
Christ.
I'm going to put in that thingy to block robots just as soon as I can make my brain work enough to do that. In the meantime...
Hell. Just take the 'me' out of the file name. Save it onto your hard drives if you want it, because I'm *thisfuckingclose* to yoinking it. |

| the beta bug has bit |
[Nov. 18th, 2009|09:39 pm] |
Nobody's added Count Cain/Godchild/The Cain Saga to AO3, yet, so what name should I add it under? I know it's on the Yuletide master list as The Cain Saga, so that's probably the name I should use, but nobody in the fandom calls it that, and the story I need to upload is actually in the Godchild timeframe. Preferences?
Also, I try to remind myself that there is no reason to get as gleeful about submitting bug reports as about inputting a new fandom or pairing (Yami peeps, you get a lot more choices now), but that doesn't stop me from doing it. It's a bug and I found it! Whee!

[Nov. 17th, 2009|10:41 pm] |
Just added all my CSJH stories thus far to AO3, and I am writing up a post about my personal tagging system in terms of relationships. I also just added my Highlander/The Good King stories to the archive. The Good King as in Wenceslas, as in the Family Channel Movie based on the Christmas Carol based on the life of a guy who would actually do better with one of those bloodtastic gruefests that are all the cinematic rage. Really, the scene where he's knifed down by his brother and his brother's friends as he heads to Mass in the snow (not a scene that happened in the Family Channel version, more's the pity) is the sort of thing to make shock-value directors giggle themselves to sleep with sheer macabre glee.
Be that as it may, the movie we actually have is considerably more schmaltzy than gory, so I fixed it with a nice dose of one of the Four Horsemen from Highlander. Also, this fandom is too obscure for Yuletide (by fandom, in this case, I mean has at least one story, and this one has two, and they are both mine). I'm weirdly proud of that.

So you know how you hear those stories about computer crashes that inevitably take place during holiday fic exchanges and those stories are held up as examples of why you should back up your writing files to two different places at least once a week?
It's a good thing I back mine up every morning these days, 'sall I'm saying. Well, that and my new laptop is named Trinity and she is wee, slick, badass, and so fast that she will shoot you in the head faster than you can dodge.

| answer to the threesomes and moresomes question on ao3 |
[Nov. 15th, 2009|06:46 pm] |
From the AO3 support team:
It's likely you're having difficulty with your threesome tags because each indivdual tag may only contain up to 42 characters. This is noted on the upload form, but a lot of people do miss it, and we're reviewing the way this information is displayed to users as we continue to get feedback.
For threesomes, we suggest using last names instead of full names to fit within the 42 characters per tag restriction.
I can work with those guidelines for everything but DBSK, for which I will put first names in alphabetical order, and CSJH, for which I will put stage names in alphabetical order, because they just do not go by their surnames. Well, and Anyband, none of whom have surnames in-character except Jin Bora. But Hisoka/Tatsumi/Tsuzuki is now in the system as Kurosaki/Tatsumi/Tsuzuki, for anyone who needs to use it.

[Nov. 15th, 2009|04:26 pm] |
I just got to submit a support ticket for AO3 asking how to tag stories for threesomes and moresomes (I mean, there's Multi and Other, but I need to be able to put in the pairings). And then there's that whole "implied X" or "past X" thing.

| [origfic] Devil's Bargain - Gateverse - PG-13 |
[Nov. 14th, 2009|07:01 pm] |
For Brigit's Flame, November Week 2, prompt "key". This grew all out of proportion to itself, and I actually only posted about the first half on BF, because we're supposed to keep the wordcount relatively low.
I really liked this one. :D I also, I think, have about three other stories of varying lengths in the bunnyhutch for these guys. Some of which might get written tonight, for Nanocount. >_>
Warnings for...language, mostly. These guys are their scifi/fantasy equivalent of miners or oil rig workers. They swear! A lot!
"The invention of the first transdimensional Gate was a grave disappointment to its creators. The dimensional milieux was vastly more complex than anticipated, and all the current theories of dimensional structure were woefully inadequate to describe--let alone allow humans to traverse safely--the transdimensional landscape. What lay beyond the Gates was named simply 'the Flux' for the incomprehensibly vast ebb and flow of information that even the most advanced computers--let alone the human brain--could not interpret.
"However, the Flux was rich with a multidimensional particlewave that was eventually dubbed 'quine'. It did not take long for the budding field of dimensional physicists to devise a method of converting quine into the more familiar arcanos energy that had fueled everything from human life-patterns to utilitarian spellforms to galactic exploration. The systematic harvesting of quine through pinprick Gates situated on naturally-occurring dimensional nodes quickly boomed into a multi-trillion credit industry.
"Nevertheless, this seemingly limitless energy came at a cost. Unpredictable Flux-surges through the Gates were common and occasionally overran all containment efforts within the harvesting facilities, leading to property destruction and loss of life through dimensional translocation. Additionally, the first harvesting teams learned another important lesson about the Flux: it was not unoccupied, and its denizens were as incomprehensible and dangerous as the Flux itself...." -- Barrowman Thane, Through the Gates: A Transdimensional History
He ran, the jagged rocks of the passage pounding into his feet even through the thick soles of his boots. His pack was still on his back, bouncing a bit on his shoulders, but he couldn't take the time to shrug it off. He just kept going, his breath ragged in his lungs, his mind ticking away the seconds.

| [origfic] Smoke, Ash, and Bone - Potteryverse - PG-13ish? |
[Nov. 14th, 2009|06:35 pm] |
So, someone introduced me to the Brigit's Flame comm over on LJ. It's a pretty cool writing game/laid back origfic contest/weekly prompt comm, and I've been in it for the November run. So far I've got two stories up (under the journal ![[info - livejournal.com]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) reed_pen, because...I dunno, though it's not a really fandom-centered challenge, I wanted to do the clean-start thing). I'm gonna repost them here, because I think they're pretty good, even if they are of the "omg write write write DEADLINE OMG" lineage.
This one was for the Week 1 prompt "china". I, of course, got caught up by the fact that "bone china"...uses actual bone ash.
Warnings for this: there's description of ritual cannibalism of the dead, and other um INTERESTING ways of dealing with a dead body. I normally wouldn't worry about that, but one of my concrit editors for the week was evidently so disturbed that sie told me about five times in as many paragraphs how disturbing, gross, and creepy sie found it. (...there was this point in the story, kinda...about different cultures and how their rituals are different but equal...? :shrugs:
-------------
The sward tower bells tolled a funeral peal the first day of Ateph's apprenticeship. Elen had paused in the process of mixing a new batch of clay, turning to look out the shop door, towards the tower. "Old Taipha," he said, at Ateph's questioning look. "She and her husband owned the bakery, years ago. She would give me broken cookies from the ovens when I was little." He turned back to kneading the clay under his hands smooth. "Peace, old mother."

| so it's not just yuletide |
[Nov. 13th, 2009|10:50 pm] |
Got the Broken Toys fic started. By which I mean, got a first draft that's already over the minimum wordcount, but I think it's definitely one of those where I'm going to be filling things in for a few days. I might even expand it beyond a single scene, though that means I get to flail around with transitions, of which I am not so fond.
Have I mentioned that panic gives me wings? I always worry I'll default on a(nother) challenge, or completely fail to meet the deadline, if I don't produce a rough draft as fast as possible, so I always try to push something out within a few hours of getting the assignment. Then I can take a little more time refining it, and it puts me in a prime position for pinch hitting, but I always worry what will happen if there comes a time that I can't get a rough draft out like that.
My neuroses, let me show you them.
ETA: Okay, did we kill LJ or what?

| Torchlight, or Oh Hell, This Was JUST What I Needed During Nano.... |
[Nov. 13th, 2009|11:33 pm] |
Did you like Diablo? Then there is $20 worth of love over here with your name on it. There's a free 2-hr demo, too, which gives a nice taste. Though I'm sure the game devs hate the comparison, this is really, honestly, a really nice Diablo clone. ( Moar here. )
I just finished playing that two hours rather than...working on Nano writing. >_> I'm...getting kind of burned out? This is way more writing than I've done in a long time. Also, someone remind me later to post up all the origfic stuff I'm pounding out for Brigit's Flame on LJ.... First week I was firmly in the middle of the voting pack, and I managed to squick out one of the people who was assigned to give concrit! ^_^;; ( tl;dr )
I am also...very behind on Nano. I had a lot of late nights this week that ate away at my writing time, and then...just a bit burned out. But, I don't have much of anything I plan to do this weekend, (and you will NOT spend the whole weekend playing Torchlight, self, WILL NOT) so I'm hoping to get a big whacking chunk of writing done. I have the words...I just wish that I could hook up my brain and download them without having to go through the typing step. ;P
That said, I'm going to go transcribe what I DID manage to write today, then...head to bed. So I can be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to go do lots of writing tomorrow! :D

Just got my Broken Toys assignment for ![[info]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) jamponygifts, and am torn as to which prompt to fulfill. Or! I could combine a few of them, which might make for a longer story, but sometimes I manage those. Hmm....
I cross my fingers Yuletide will present me with such a quandary. And did I mention ten people ended up offering Anyband? Because they did. I feel there is only one icon truly appropriate for this. Luckily, I have it uploaded to all my journals.
