Fanfic trope meme! Stolen from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) inlovewithnight. Genderswap: If a character randomly wakes up with their gender magically swapped, then no. If it's one of those what if character A had always been a gender different than the one they are on the show/in real life, then maybe, depending on how it's written. Bodyswap: Also depends. If there is lots of angst and emotion and the revelation of deeply held secrets, then yes! If it's mostly a porn thing, then meh. Drunk!fic: Not a particular kink, but not something I avoid. I seem to write it a lot. Huddling together for warmth: Yes Undercover in a gay bar: yes Pretending to be married: yes Secretly a virgin: No Amnesia: YES!!!!! Cross-dressing: No Forced to share a bed: Why not? Aliens made them do it: Yes /o\ Wingfic: Only if the characters have canonical wings Mpreg: Under no circumstances Mistakenly assumed to be gay: Not really. Are they undercover in a gay bar at the time? Let's play truth or dare: If there is lots of angst and emotion and the revelation of deeply held secrets, then yes! If it's too embarrassment squicky, then no. It's a fine line. Mary Sue fic: Only the ones I write in my head and am too ashamed to ever write down Aphrodisiacs: Yes Curtain fic: Not universally, but sometimes. Depends on the characters. Hurt/Comfort: Oh God yes. Always. Apocalypse fic: Yes if there are a) zombies/aliens/monsters of some kind or b) it is a source with canonical apocalypses. Someone has a baby: Only if there is a canonical pregnancy and even then only sometimes. Baby!fic: Is actively avoided Telepathic soulbonding: No Werewolves mate for life: I did not know this was a trope?? *** Tonight is my last night in Birmingham. I'm in Charlotte tomorrow and Wednesday night and then onto DC on Thursday. I simultaneously feel like I've been gone forever and like vacation just started. I had a lot to do today, but instead I spend a chunk of the day getting a flat tire fixed, which was fun times. I don't know why that happens every time I try to leave Birmingham. Now I need to be packing and organizing and instead I'm just lounging around, feeling neurotic. I lost an earring and I'm irrationally upset about it; one of my grades still isn't up and I'm irrationally worried about *that.* Blah. Blah. :\ Hopefully the traveling tomorrow will go smoothly.  comments at Dreamwidth | Comment at Dreamwidth |

Fangirl times with marenfic and southernbangel were pretty excellent last night. We ended up watching Fanboys and Glee and watching drinking a truly incredible amount of gin. I had heard mixed things about Fanboys and there are definitely things in it that make me cringe as a feminist and a queer person, but oh, the fannish stuff in it was just fun. It's for sure about fanboy sensibilities, but I really do feel like, methods of approach aside, the fannish impulse really is kind of the fannish impulse and there's this one scene where one of the characters is giving a speech about how "for most people it [Star Wars] is just a movie, but not for us," and I was like, "am I supposed to be moved right now? Probably not, but I KIND OF AM." Then I crashed at Maren's because I had way too much gin to drive, and when we woke up this morning there was a BtVS marathon on LOGO and that was great, and then I finally dragged myself home and then went to a New Year's party with my parents and *then* spent mooost of the rest of the day writing fic. The good news is it looks like this particular fic is actually going to be finished. The bad news is it is NONE of the ones I've been talking about forever, but is rather Charlotte/Tennessee (with background Z/Ryan) and sort of came out of absolutely nowhere and I could give you a list right now of the four people who will probably read it, but I am craving femslash and it was just supposed to be a little drabble of a thing to kind of clear out the cobwebs in my brain, but now it seems to be a much bigger thing, and you know, whatever, I am rolling with that. I can't check my flist because I haven't watched Dr. Who yet and I don't trust myself near cut tags, but I hope everybody had a good New Year's Eve! Good riddance, 2009.  comments at Dreamwidth | Comment at Dreamwidth |

I keep forgetting to say thank you to kita0610 for the card and murielle for the e-card. <333 They made me smile. (I love the LJ holiday card exchange so much). Kita was one of the few people I remembered to give my parents' address to, and that lack of planning meant that most people had my address in Arlington, where I haven't been since Dec. 14 and won't be until Jan. 7. Oh well, holiday cards will be a cheerful thing to come home to. I was debating doing that end of year meme, but I'm not really sure what to make of 2009. It was fairly even keel, especially compared to the upheaval of 2008. It wasn't a bad year; it was a good one in some ways - I have great friends, online and off, and I'm grateful for them - and a hard one in some others - this last semester was...difficult, and I'm not even totally sure why, though I know it had more to do with my headspace than with the classes themselves - but mostly it was a fast one; I still kind of feel like 2009 just *started* and I'm having a little trouble processing that its almost 2010 and a whole new decade. 2010 is probably going to mean upheaval again. Afterall, I graduate in May, and then who knows what happens after that. I certainly don't. That is partly kind of fun and partly terrifying. Tomorrow will be the first New Year's Eve I haven't spent in New Orleans since 2003. I'm sad about that - New Orleans at New Year's is an experience and I miss my NOLA friends - but I expect it to be good times anyway. marenfic and southernbangel are saving me from an encore of this summer's pig roast shenanigans (once was enough for me!) and we're going to hang out and eat and drink and be fangirly and it should be pretty great. That's generally how I like to spend my time. Happy New Year to all of you, flist. I hope it's a good one and that 2010 is a year of good things. ♥ ♥ ♥  comments at Dreamwidth | Comment at Dreamwidth Current Mood:  nostalgic |

Grades are STILL NOT UP. This makes sense, as today was Sunday and we haven't actually had a weekday since Christmas, but oh man, I am losing my shit, flist. Anxiety dreams and everything. It's good times. :( JUST TELL ME ALREADY. PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY. Way too much of my self-worth is wrapped up in my GPA. It is just not healthy. I did not *do* Yuletide this year (or, uh, any year? Next year, maybe), but I have probably *read* more Yuletide fic than I ever have before. Most everything I've read has been pretty excellent. I'm in a femslash headspace, though, so here are a few Yuletide femslash recs. ( Six Yuletide femslash recs: The Like, Daria, Across the Universe, Glee, Castle )***** My family keeps BAKING THINGS. Oh my God, the amount of cookies and pie I have eaten this week is truly ridiculous. As is the amount of wine and beer I have drunk. Now my brother and I are hanging out and watching the 7th season of The West Wing. He's leaving me tomorrow to go back to Chicago. TRAGEDY.  comments at Dreamwidth | Comment at Dreamwidth Current Mood:  mellow |

I got an HTC Hero (Sprint's Droid phone) as an early Christmas present because, as a few of you have noticed, I haven't had a working phone in about two months. It was more of a glorified pager. I could send and receive text messages but the second I tried to make a voice call, the phone would die unless it was plugged in. I don't know what I would have done without twitter, honestly. But now I have a phone! It makes phone calls! Hooray! I have never had a smart phone before. Now I will know immediately every time I get a new email in any of my email accounts or a new tweet. I will be so plugged in that I will probably come to loathe it, but right now I'm pretty delighted. I keep getting in trouble with my mom for just playing with it instead of interacting with people. However, the trouble with having a Droid phone is that it wants to sync with my google account. I do not want it to do that and in the process of trying to get it to not do that I managed to delete all of my contacts. Twice. I seem to have achieved my objective now, but the upshot is that I spent a good deal of yesterday re-entering all my contacts by hand from my old phone and it is very, very likely that many mistakes were made, especially because I had to enter most of them twice and by the end of the process I was pretty distracted by extreme frustration. Figuring out where those mistakes are is going to be an adventure, so if you think I have your phone number, it is possible that I do! But it is also entirely possible that it's plugged into my phone wrong. I suppose we'll find out. Still it is SO SHINY. Anyway, family time means I haven't been around a whole lot the last couple of days and I probably won't be around a whole lot for the next couple of days either, but I hope everyone is having a good holiday season. And Merry Christmas tomorrow(/today) to everyone celebrating! ♥ ♥ ♥  comments at Dreamwidth | Comment at Dreamwidth Current Mood:  relaxed |
