I keep all of my fannish entries open and personal entries locked. New friends are fun; if you do subscribe, could you leave a comment here if you get a chance? I like new people, especially when I know they are really people!







This journal serves mainly for fic, graphics, and meta--all of which are open posts. Personal posts are at [personal profile] bell_dont_ring!
Zhivago's glasses
One of [personal profile] bessemerprocess's posts reminded me that there are some meme requests I need to catch up on. So, since she reminded me inadvertently, She requested the premise for "A time traveling cop and lawyer due" show.

Here's my stab at it...

Time Track )

I...don't know that I'm doing it justice here, really. But I keep writing scenes for this in my head and not meaning to...

I've been creatively drained lately. I have several unfinished fics and I'm really just...stalled on my YA novel. So...give me some general prompts.

I'm in ethics until 4pm EST, so I'll definitely take them until then, but I'll likely take them until 6pm EST.

In the next few days/week if you're friended by [personal profile] bell_dont_ring, it's me. I've been keeping that as my personal journal for a few months, but I never got around to really transferring my reading list over there...and I'd like to.

As I'm about to make a post over there with lots of exciting personal stuff (yay!), I thought I'd mention the move again here.

My fic Pet has been nominated for Best NC-17 Fic in the Rizzles Fan Awards.

The piece was written in response to a [community profile] femslash_kink prompt last summer. I'm honored to have been nominated!

Check out the site. There's other great stuff nominated, and the nominations are open until Feb 29. I presume voting begins after that.

This year for Yuletide I was matched on my last minute offer, and I was absolutely terrified about not only writing RPF but omfg Anna Wintour... I'm happy with the piece and even more thrilled that the recipient was happy about it as well!

Title: Behind the Walls
Author: [personal profile] cleo
Fandom: The September Issue (2009) RPF
Characters: Grace Carrington/Anna Wintour
Rating: M
Summary: Grace sees things about Anna that no one else sees.

And watching that, Grace wants to crack open. The volume of memory inside of her is always threatening, and Grace doesn’t know how Anna packs it away so tidily when she cannot bear to distance herself from any of it. It’s something she’s grown comfortable with, even when it stings.
Yuletide!
Dear Yuletide Author,

Okay, this is the second attempt at this letter. Right as I finished the first, my browser froze, and it definitely did not autosave. So...Hi! As always, I'm super excited for this year's Yuletide, and I hope you are too! Thank you so much for taking the time to write one of my requests. You are awesome! Below are my requests and a few completely optional details if you need some inspiration!

Requests! )

I don't have a lot of squicks or triggers. I love emotional manipulation, fucked up relationships, angst. I love strong women. I love femslash. Kink is fine. Fluff is fine. Gen is fine. PWP is fine. I hope you find some inspiration here if you need it, and that you have fun writing. Have a happy holiday season, and thank you again!

-[personal profile] cleo

PS: If you think looking at some of my fic might help, you can find it here at Ao3 (anything really recent is there) or organized by fandom here on my DW fic masterlist (everything but the past month and a half or so is here).

And here is my Yuletide tag on DW!

Yuletide!

The Yuletide gift that was written for me is...amazing. It's beautiful, funny, touching...it involves a myth that I will forget isn't canon. In fact, I'll forget all of this isn't canon... Go read it...

Title: Her Lovely Face Gleaming Like a White Poppy (14032 words)
By: Anonymous
Fandom: Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Anyone have any thoughts on a good topic for a short paper on computer law. I'd like to do something related to fic, but really a case note would be the easiest thing. Idk...just need to do some brainstorming and thought I'd see if anyone wanted to weigh in...
Broken Queen
I keep going back and forth about where to post what, but I think here is better for movie thoughts than [personal profile] bell_dont_ring.

I went to see immortals on Saturday night. Let me tell you, I was metaphorically dragged kicking and screaming to this one. I had absolutely no interest. And I ended up really liking it a lot. Where the story lacked, it was just visually stunning and interesting.

And other things I'll put behind a cut to save people from spoilers. )

And today I saw Melancholia. I've been wanting to see this since this summer. It was out when I was living in Prague, but there wasn't time to see it. I'm kinda glad though because having subtitles in Czech and Slovak would have taken away from the experience for me. It is...intense and intensely beautiful.

Cut for more spoilers and more coherent thoughts than those on Immortals. )

And in other news...after ten minutes of the season premier of Bones, I think I can't watch it anymore. I just...I'm not into Booth and Bones. I love them as foils, as partners. But I do not want to watch them bumbling about in Booth's kitchen because it's small and Bones is pregnant. I don't want to watch them talking about finding a place together. I don't want to watch the other characters talking about...them. I LIKE the other characters, and I DON'T LIKE what they've been relegated to. So, I think I can safely just...let the show go. Meh.

I'm an OTW staffer. I have been for a few years, first with Volunteers and Recruiting (<3<3<3) and now with Development and Membership (<3<3<3). I have a lot of thoughts about elections and what's been going on, but personally, i'd rather not post more than the following signal boosts.

But I do want to signal boost this post from [personal profile] ellen_fremedon that links to the really relevant posts by [personal profile] bookshop, [personal profile] general_jinjur, and [personal profile] copracat. I'd recommend reading these. And I'd also like to say that I'm so sad for [personal profile] lim.

All the posts linked to in [personal profile] ellen_fremedon are really worth reading, and don't skip [personal profile] copracat's on Volunteer Work and Membership--it's incredibly well put together, and having served on VolCom, I appreciate the work copracat put into it. I appreciate the work everyone has put into these posts and the work our volunteers and staffers do.
Yuletide!
I did my Yuletide nominations! They are as follows:

-Greek (mostly nominated to add Katherine Preston and Robin Wylie to the character list because I might request something with one or both of them)
-Lost Horizon by James Hilton (I really want slash between the narrator in the prologue and Rutherford or Hugh Conway)
-Ludo's Broken Bride EP (I chose to add The Traveler, The Traveler's Wife, the Celestial Beings, and King Simius as characters. If I keep nominating and requesting, one day there will be fic...I can feel it)

I didn't nominate the Queen's Thief series this year because several others already had, but it will be my fourth request.

Stolen from [personal profile] twtd:

Pick one of my fics, and I'll give you three details that didn't make it into the fic. Background canon, deleted scenes, or a look into the future. My choice, but if you have a specific question you can ask it in your request.

I'll give answers after Friday, which is when this brief is due.

In the interest of taking a break from this memo for just a few minutes, here's a WIP that I'll probably never finish.

Fandoms: Fringe/My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Characters: Walter and Peter Bishop, Pinkie Pie
Summary: There's Walter...there's Pinkie Pie... Yeah.

A talking pony. How extraordinary! )

Yuletide!
Yuletide nominations will open sometime soon! And signups will follow! Yay!

I'm probably going to nominate MWT's Thief series, as always (it kinda makes Yuletide for me at this point). I'll probably also nominate Ludo's Broken Bride rock opera again. Pretty sure I can safely not nominate The Hunger Games and know that it'll get in. There's been talk about nominating My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I...think it's probably not going to make the cut, but I may nominate it either way...but there's also Lost Horizon (which I want slash for the prologue for), and while I haven't gotten through the latest Cassandra Clare book because it's a total snoozefest, I still want fic for the Infernal Devices series.

SO MANY CHOICES.
