i feel stupid, and contagious

+ GUYS I FEEL GOOD TODAY. I have today and tomorrow off work, which is awesome. Annnd I have been somewhat productive this weekend! I finished my camelotremix fic (a day late, lalala), and to celebrate, I went over to the Get Arthur and Gwen Laid Campaign at freemurmurs and wrote some truly filthy A/G porn. *claps in delight* Porn that I may never actually sign my name to, but still! You should all check out that meme if you feel as strongly as I do that Arthur and Gwen should get laid in as many ways as possible.

MY OVERALL POINT IS, I have written more in the last two days than I have in many months! Since the Gwen LAS, I believe. I'm hoping this means my muse is coming back to me and if it is, I might sign up for Yuletide since I have no other holiday exchanges this year (does anyone know when signups are?). I think that would be awesome.

I have much-neglected yardwork to do today and some other things to take care of, but I might write some more pr0ns today too, just to see if yesterday was a fluke or not. :D Apart from that, I have two beta jobs to finish. I'll send them along tonight, ladies. ♥

+ I haven't checked tumblr much at all this weekend which means it'll probably be overwhelming to catch up on at this point, but apparently there is some kind of campaign to woo people back to LJ by not posting on tumblr for a month? I know some of you know what I mean and have been posting about it, and I have some thoughts on it.

( tumblr tumblr tumblr )

When it comes to my f-list, I feel like tumblr is not my problem so much as fandom drift. I've dipped into so many fandoms, mostly abandoned my original fandom, and made friends all over the place, and I don't want to lose any of you that I either talk to now, or have formed connections with through RP and whatever in the past. I still read your posts, and try to comment more, and care about all of you. ♥ You guys put up with my social justice ramblings, my random links, my Merlin posts. You commented when I lost my dog, when my mother was in the hospital last year... whether we still share fandoms or not. I love y'all, and I hope I've been as supportive a presence as you all have been. If you ever feel like we're drifting too far apart we can work on it. ♥

+ Argh, very busy, very distracting holiday/weekend. I have so much to finish still and I don't want to be back at work. Gah, I'll get it done.

+ Still swooning over this week's Merlin. May actually never stop. It was far from perfect, but. ( this brief squee contains spoilers, just to be safe )

+ PIMP: SAY IT WITH FLOWERS INTERNATIONAL POSTCARD PROJECT. In which we 1) send postcards to Angel and Katie at the Beeb to show them some love, and 2) hopefully the producers will notice that some of us don't find the concept of a Gwen-Morgana buddy movie episode to be the most hilariously absurd concept ever, Johnny. (We are nothing if not ambitious.)

+ I HAS GOOGLE WAVE. (Thanks, cherrybina!) I don't know a thing about it apart from a demo vid I watched back in the summer, but it looks neat? Ya'll know I can never resist. So, if you're on it, let me know and I'll add you or... however it works? And we can do ...something? IDK. I'll figure it out. I don't even know if I have invites - where would those be?

+ I hope everyone's week is off to a good start and that you aren't as behind on things as I am. I still need to find myself a personal ass-kicker. ♥

+ No Merlin this week! Whatever will we do?

Welllll, you could come hang out at camelot_fleet for a little while! Funtimes. There will be pornlets and picspams and randomness. If you've never been to one, no worries, it's easy and fun and we're all very snuggly.

Bradley thinks it's only logical.


Katie agrees.


And Angel's just cute. Crumpets, people, crumpets.


If you don't have a Dreamwidth account, I have invite codes, or you can use OpenID.

♥ Gwen/Morgana Kiss Meme ♥

Based on the

♥ Merlin/Arthur Kiss Meme ♥

This one's for the girls.

*\o/* brb, writing a li'l something.

...'cause a Camelot party don't -- whatever.

The point is, Merlin peeps, you should come hang out at camelot_fleet for a while, it's funtimes.

Introduce yourself, or leave/take prompts, or chat about threesomes, or what have you.

Merlin friends, you should head over and check out the Party Post at camelot_fleet on Dreamwidth! We seem to be making a weekly thing of it and it is multishippy funtimes.

Last week it was picspams; this week it's commentfic and music. Come leave prompts and recs and make new Merlin friends, yes? *g*

We have to do something whilst waiting for a True Blood upload.

If you don't have a Dreamwidth account I think I have a half-dozen extra codes on my hands, so just let me know. <3

*goes back to Hunith/Arthur ficlet* (OH CHILL, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT.)

+ gwenmorganabbc is having a Merlin femslash kink meme, running all weekend. :D :D :D It's for for the International Day of Femslash, which is (*checks watch*) today! Go and leave prompts! It doesn't matter whether you're a member of the comm or not, I don't think. Any girl/girl pairing, any rating, any prompt, and you can do it anonymously if you wish. I plan to do some drabbling tonight. Whoever answers the most prompts gets a pretty banner.

+ The collision shop is finished with my car, so I've got to go pick that up/turn in my rental car. It'll be nice being in my own car again and not being paranoid about scratching it and having to spend loads more money.

+ Has anyone ever had this blue screen thing with Windows Vista, wherein the screen goes blue with an error message, saying that something's wrong and Windows is shutting down to prevent damage? Any idea how to fix it?

My new desktop PC keeps crashing that way. I can't tell for sure, but it might have started happening around the same time I installed The Sims 3, which I have since uninstalled. I'm attempting to disable different drivers one by one to pinpoint which one might be causing it, but it's going to take ages that way, and I don't have the money to take it to Best Buy or something, and I'm afraid I'm going to have to re-install the OS or something dire like that. Which means losing all my files and re-installing all my stuff. For fuck's sake, it's times like this I wish I could afford a Mac.

+ Is anyone even AROUND this weekend? :P LJ is so slow. You guys are having too much fun at Azkatraz, aren't you? I will try not to be too jealous. But even Trek fandom is slow. Not that I've helped -- at all. I've been in RL hell for most of this week, surfacing only once to see HBP.

ST Reboot people: Do you understand how awesome Cadet Gaila is? I feel strongly about this. I mean, Uhura is my one true love, obviously, but we can talk about her later. I want to pimp out the green redheaded awesomeness that is Gaila for a second. I mean. She's from Orion, and she's in Starfleet; this alone is a big effing deal. Because yeah, she gets laid a lot, and she is clearly competent and knows her shit or she wouldn't be there. She's like Kirk, but green and a girl. :P There should be no doubling of standards in her case. She's intelligent and cool and I choose to think she was pretty good friends with Uhura, not just her roommate.

Orion women are freaking sex slaves and objects for the most part, in old school canon, and the writers have speculated that Gaila was in slavery like the others, but escaped. There is so much fic potential here and I would love to know more about her. And of course, as with Uhura, she is being hated upon in some sections of the blogosphere. But! There are people writing her. She and Uhura, two of the few women in the film, are being written about, wtf I love this fandom. I need to share.

Pimpage:

taraljc is hosting IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN: THE DOOD, GAILA IS AWESOME COMMENTFIC EXTRAVAGANZA on her LJ. In it, you will find fic recs, comment fic, and the most awesome macro to ever awesome. Go read and play! It cannot survive without us.

seriousfic has probably the best Gaila I've read yet, and has written Academic Discourse in which there is character study with Gaila at the Academy with Uhura and Kirk and awesome. She also wrote Going Down, most-movie Gaila/Kirk.

taraljc wrote House Rules, Uhura and Gaila gen that I would draw hearts around if I could.

yahtzee63 wrote Awkward, more Kirk and Gaila post-movie.

Now. With that said, I think I'm going to see if I can't put Gaila and Uhura into some kind of fic for posting. XP
