3_ships fic is DONE.
Well I mean no, it's totally not, I still have so much work to do on it.
But the first draft is DONE. :D :D :D
At a stupid number of words, I don't even want to talk about it, but it is significantly more than my initial estimate of 2500 ;_; Still. DONE OMG SO EXCITED I CAN'T.

Seeking a Beta
Okay, so since I've only got a scene and a half left to go on my 3_ships fic, I thought maybe I should start looking for a beta! If you're interested in betaing a threesome ship fic of around 8500 words, I would appreciate it so much.
In order to not give away the fandom I'm writing for, I'm going to list a bunch of fandoms, and if you would be willing to beta for any of them, please comment to let me know which ones. Then I'll lj message you with more details and see if you're still interested (if you'd prefer I email, leave an email address in the comment).
Okay, so fandoms: Ace Attorney, The Big Bang Theory, Casablanca, Chuck, Community, Doctor Who, Firefly, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Harry Potter, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Leverage, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Sherlock (BBC version), Sherlock Holmes '09, Star Trek (reboot), Teen Wolf
Thanks in advance to everyone who offers.

OK PLANS FOR THE DAY:
*Finish this stupid motherfucking fic
*Break world record for most tea drunk in one day
*Mighty Boosh marathon because if there's a better show to be wacky and sleep deprived to, I haven't heard of it

Tumblr is down and I want to complain about it on Tumblr but I can't because Tumblr is down and I don't know what to do.
Also I didn't sleep last night and now I'm on my third cup of tea and sleeping in until 1pm yesterday was such a bad choice omfg. And that's only 20 hours since I last slept and I'm already slightly out of it how am I going to be by the time it hits a reasonable hour for me to actually sleep. It's fucking 9am right now.
Maybe I should try to sleep. But then I'll screw my sleep cycle even more and also even though I'm tired I can totally see myself just lying down and staring at the ceiling for another three hours completely unable to doze off. For fuck's sake who invented sleep and the need to do it what an asshole why would you even.
Maybe I should try to fic instead. It's been established that I can't drunk!fic, instead of relaxing and being able to write I either just daydream or like, am hyper aware of the fact that I'm kind of out of it and should not be allowed near a keyboard. But long expereince with last minute assignments means sleep-deprived!writing is a thing that can happen, so maybe it will be a winner. Yeah.
I'm gonna get myself another cup of tea and do that.
...I was gonna add tumblr style tags to this to the effect of "why is my three ships fic edging towards the 7000 word mark, wasn't this supposed to be the fucking short alternative?" but then I realised this wasn't tumblr and that's obnoxious omfg tumblr come back.
Someone confiscate my fucking keyboard.

Ugh I felt awful and ill today so I decided it was the perfect day for a Star Trek marathon and lay around watching all the movies and occasionally getting up to make tea. It was basically perfect.
Except then I got all emotional at the end of The Undiscovered Country and they were all "this is the last mission of the Enterprise (with this crew)" and I was all ;_______________________; EXCUSE ME WHILE I SOB ALONE AT MY TV SCREEN. Too many feels, that was totally unfair.
Also I don't even care if Search For Spock isn't a particularly quality movie, an hour and a half of Kirk and Spock being epically in love and not giving a fuck who knows it was exactly what I needed today.

Okay so I have to admit, changing my dreamwidth site skin to "celerity" instead of "tropospherical red" could easily be the best decision I've ever made. I mean, I'm not sure what that says about my life (;_;) but I think I don't do so well with site schemes that have a lot of pink in them, my eyes just don't like looking at it for long periods of time. I kind of wish I had realised this sooner. Anyway, I also changed my journal layout to something I can actually read (I didn't put a heap of effort into it but I don't even remember setting up the last one I had and I seriously regret that decision because while it looked awesome it was pretty unreadable and I don't know why I ever thought it was a good idea.
Um, things that are not Epic Move To Dreamwidth related... I finally finished Apollo Justice! And am now caught up on all the Ace Attorney games so far (at least, the ones in English ;_;). ( I quite liked it )
IDK maybe I will write some fic for it when I'm done with my 3_ships assignment, because I have a lot of feelings about these characters.
Ugh speaking of 3_ships I should go... do that... ugh I'm getting close to the end of this fic so of course my brain has decided to want to completely avoid it entirely. ( Blah blah blah, whining about insecurities. )
Okay. Okay. Resolve mustered. *determined face* I am going to go wrestle with this fic now.

OK HERE IS WHAT IS HAPPENING. I just went through the list of people I have friended on livejournal and now I am actually tearing up and hearing "Somebody I Used To Know" on repeat in my head. I miss livejournal. I made so many awesome friends on lj. I've been there since year 8, which is longer than a lot of my rl friends have stuck around. But it turns out, only a fraction of those people who I was afraid of losing if I moved to dw are still posting. And even smaller number of those aren't also on dreamwidth.
SO! What I am doing is the first major friends purge I have ever done on lj. If you are still around after this purge, it means all of the following are true:
-You have posted, at least once, since the start of the year
-You don't also have a dreamwidth (If you do have a dreamwidth, I should have added you there as![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
clavicular, please add me back!)
-You are following me back
-You are not a community
If I haven't unfriended you, but you have a dreamwidth that you use regularly and for some reason I didn't notice, PLEASE let me know. I'm looking to consolidate as much as possible. (Alternatively, if I've added you on dreamwidth but you'd prefer I keep you on lj, let me know that too).
If I have unfriended you and you want me to undo that (maybe you haven't been posting but you have been hanging around, god knows I can't judge for that), or I've made a mistake, let me know and I'll put you right back on! :)
I'm also giving thought to disabling comments on lj, especially as I'd really prefer to have people friended in one place, but I'm open to input on that.

Okay so I'd been avoiding talking about exactly how long my 3_ships fic was getting in public, because I had a feeling it would be a dead giveaway of my identity once the fics went up. But I've decided to call it quits on trying to get that one done by the deadline, because freaking christ, the stupid thing had gotten to over 20 000 words and wasn't even halfway done. I'm still going to finish it, because *20 000 words*, but I'll do it for myself. The new fic I've started is a much more reasonable length, and I'm almost done with the first draft, huzzah!
Also now that wrisomifu is over, I should probably warn you there's a good chance I'll be posting here more often to whine about writing, because apparently that is a required part of the writing process. Or at least I find it helpful anyway. Whatever.

Sometimes I hear a song and the moment I hear it I never, ever want to stop listening to it, and I play it on repeat constantly until I absolutely can't bear to hear it again.
Right now I think that song might be Camille Harp's cover of I'm On Fire. It's funny because the other day I was thinking how much I wanted a lady-singer cover of this song. And this is so perfect, oh my god, I can't. Everyone go watch it right now.

Oh my fucking god this is ridiculous. I'm going to wrap this scene up in 200 words or less and then I am GOING THE FUCK TO SLEEP. Like that stupid children's book.

I JUST FIGURED OUT WHY FACEBOOK AND I DON'T GET ON.
I mean this should be obvious, but I've always just kind of muttered something vague about personal information and internet conversations and everyone I know, and left it at that. But someone just described facebook as internet small talk, and oh my god yes. Why would I want to subject myself to a constant litany of polite social small talk? Ugh.
Also why would I want to say basically anything to everyone I know at once? Seriously. Facebook is the worst.

I've recently realised that more than 50% of my current fannish experience is basically me sitting around going "This is amazing. Wow, I remember when I would have been utterly appalled at myself for this. I used to be so cute."
Ahaha, remember when I used to flee from siblingcest? Remember when I didn't really get moresomes? Remember when I wouldn't touch kink? I spent the first five years of my time in fandom blushing as I skimmed the sexy parts* and then almost overnight I signed up for kink bingo and started writing hardcore bdsm fics (these things were sadly not connected, I failed out of kink bingo so hard that year).
Does fandom do this to everyone? I'm inclined to say yes, but maybe it's just me. And all my friends. And nearly everyone I've ever talked to online. I could be looking at a biased sample though, is my point.
*Surprisingly easy to do, just scan through until you stop seeing the word 'cock' every few sentences.
In other news, my wrisomifu goals are getting steadily more modest, BUT I have been keeping up with it and writing for at least ten min every day. Going to go finish up for today and then go to bed.

[So I was going to post this just to lj but lj was being super slow so WHATEVER I GUESS I AM SWITCHING NOW OR SOMETHING.]
Dear Sailor,
So I should probably start by saying, eeeeh! You’re writing a threesome fic for meeeee, about characters I absolutely love! You can probably do no wrong in my eyes, and you should definitely write whatever works for you with the characters, so don’t worry too much. I’m sure I’ll love whatever you come up with. That said, if you want a bit more info about my likes and dislikes, I will try to help you out. Feel free to take as much or as little from this as you like. :) There are a lot of different ideas here and most of them are totally incompatible with each other so I definitely don’t expect you to use everything from this, if you use any of it at all.
ALSO, A NOTE: If you matched me on either Teen Wolf, Community or Ace Attorney and don’t feel like you can write that for whatever reason, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is a movie and therefore pretty easy to familiarize yourself with. If you matched me on that and can’t write it, I don’t know what to suggest, although I’d probably recommend Community over Teen Wolf because the episodes are shorter and you can get away with watching it out of order, and both of them over Ace Attorney just because it’s a bit more time consuming. But obviously I love all of them and will be pleased no matter what you write.
( General Likes and Dislikes )
Fandom specific notes now up!
Man okay I’m just going to reiterate that oh my god do I love all of these characters SO MUCH. They are all wonderful and amazing and so precious. If I don’t say that here I’d just spend two paragraphs at the beginning of each section waxing lyrical about how great they all are and these are already far too long as it is. I've tried to give some idea of how I see the characters, what I like about the canon and what I was kind of thinking with my prompt. As always, PLEASE DISREGARD THIS IF YOU LIKE. It's all just ideas I'm tossing around, I'm not even sure if any of it will be helpful. But I hope it is.

OH MY GOD. Sherlocke Holmes: The Zombie Apocalypse! It looks hilarious. In a bad way. Well, a bad-but-good way. And so long as I don't think of it as being in any way related to the actual Sherlocke Holmes stories except that Holmes and Watson are still totally doing it it's going to be EPIC.*HEART* I'm embarrassed to admit to all the ridiculous squeaking noises I made at Holmes and Watson throughout the trailer, although I have a bad feeling the rest of it is going to be absolutely terrible.
It's a mark of how low I have sunk that I'm desperate to see this movie for the slash whilst simultaneously dreading it as a thinking human being. It looks like Sherlocke Holmes meets the Da Vinci Code and Van Helsing, but Watson gets to kick ass and bitch about Holmes not helping with the housework, and did any of you really think I was anything but a pathetic fangirl?

Trying to work out cross-posting between dreamwidth and lj (like half my flist XD HI GUISE! SORRY!) How's this?
(no subject)
HI EVERYONE!
I was going to import all my entries from my lj account, but I've decided to start afresh here. This has more to do with organisation of my journal than content. While both just sort of... happened over on lj, I'm ok with this in regards to content. Organisation? Well... my philosophy (as of this moment) is that even if I can't be organsised in any other aspect of my life, I'm damn well going to have an easily navigated online blog.
I'm really liking the set-up of dreamwidth, though! It's like it's taken all the good bits of lj and then gone one better! Not sure about this subscribe/grant access thing, though. While I can see the long term advantage of it, at the moment it just seems like a pain in the neck trying to friend everyone. It's a whole extra button I have to click! And I'm so lazy. Also, I can see issues in terms of friending etiquette arising here. For example, is it better or worse to stop subscribing to someone than it is to de-friend them all together? I've only just gotten used to lj etiquette! What will I do? My life: so hard!!!
Not sure whether this will end up being a direct copy of my lj or whether it will be different (eg, if most of fandom ends up here but I still have rl friends on lj I might end up using this for fannish things and lj for rl things...) or whether I will lose interest in a month or so (I hope not!) but I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
